Study of Diastolic Dysfunction in Diabetes Mellitus

In this study, diastolic dysfunction had 60% prevalence in Diabetic patients and 14% in case of Non-diabetic individuals. • It was seen that with increasing age, there was an increase in incidence of DD but it was found to be statistically insignificant. • Gender, alcohol and smoking does not play any role in diastolic dysfunction. • Duration of diabetes is a significant factor. With increasing duration of DM, there is increase in incidence of DD. • Body Mass Index is a significant factor. There is higher incidence of DD in individuals with elevated BMI. • Dyslipidemia especially Total Cholesterol, LDL and Triglycerides were found to be associated with Diastolic dysfunction. • Diabetic Retinopathy was found to be strongly correlated with diastolic dysfunction. No individual had DD in the absence of Diabetic retinopathy in the study population. • Significant Proteinuria was also found to be associated with diastolic dysfunction. It was statistically significant

Women's rights and gender equality issues in India

Women constitute half of humanity and probably the better half. In the absence of gender equality, humanity is depriving itself of a substantial strength from fifty percent of its constituents. It has been the case almost from the beginnings of civilized society that women were cast in specifically discriminatory roles and thus have never been empowered to contribute their best to the advancement of the society. Gender inequalities hinder development Social hierarchies are embedded in social institutions which are designed to perpetuate them through control over the environment and the socio-economic resources. Equality of participation and control are the necessary pre-requisites towards gender equality. There are many special challenges still faced by the women, but progress has been made when gender equality is viewed over the longer term. Much more can be accomplished, however, when women‘s contributions are valued by society as a whole, when they have a more prominent role in decision-making, and when women and men work in partnership to achieve these aims. In this context, the paper attempts to highlight the gender inequalities and identify the recent trends in women‘s social and economic development in India. The paper will be based on secondary sources of data

Modeling and Simulation of a Single Phase Matrix Converter with Reduce Switch Count as a Buck/Boost Rectifier with Close Loop Control

This Paper focused on Buck/Boost Rectification by Single Phase Matrix Converter with fewer numbers of switches. The conventional matrix converter consists of 4 bidirectional switches, i.e. 8 set of IGBT/MOSFET with anti parallel diodes. In this proposed matrix converter, only six switches are used. The switch commutation arrangements are also carried out in this work. The gate pulses to the switches are provided by the PWM techniques. Step up or step down DC outputs can be obtained by using suitable switching algorithm. The PSIM simulation results are provided to validate the feasibility of this proposed method

Investigation of Effect of Graphite Particles on Drillability of Metal Matrix Composite

The present article investigates the effect of graphite particles in the drilling of hybrid aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) using TiN coated carbide drills. Materials used for the present investigation are Al6063-aluminum alloy reinforced with alumina of size 20 microns and graphite of an average size 75 microns, which are produced through stir casting method. Experiments are conducted based on Taguchi's method L27 orthogonal array on a vertical machining centre. A model is developed to correlate the drilling parameters with burr height and surface roughness using regression analysis. The results indicate that the developed model is suitable for prediction of burr height and surface roughness in drilling of hybrid AMCs.The influence of different parameters on Surface roughness and burr height of Al6063/Al2O3p/Grp composites has been analyzed through ANOVA table and contour graphs

The usage of gold and the investment analysis based on gold rate in India

Gold is one of the main commodities where the customers invest their money comparatively with bank for better interest. In the Indian context people purchase gold for their children’s marriages for later period. The investment in gold is better suits for easy conversion into money with quickest possible time from the bank and gold merchants. The appreciation or depreciation of gold based on other investment options like fixed deposit, provident fund, international crude oil price, stock market, mutual fund etc. The comparative analysis of gold with other investment options give an edge to the customer to clearly understand the investment pattern for their hard-earned money expected to give good returns in the future

DETECTION AND PURIFICATION OF HARMFUL COMPOUNDS IN BEVERAGES USING HPLC

The presence of harmful compounds like caffeine and carbonated compounds in different beverages like soft drinks, fruit juices deserves great attention because of its toxic and carcinogenic effects on  human beings. We report on the detection and purification of those substances with the help of HPLC(High Performance  Liquid Chromatography).According to the migration rate, stationary phase and mobile phase, retention time we can extract the desire compounds. Depending upon the solvent and sample we can detect the compounds with  the  help  of the detector.The chromatogram will be  displayed and it can be viewed in the PC with the help of  Osiris  software. Compounds like Caffeine, Aspartame, Neotame, Saccharin, Maltodextrin, sucrose, fructose etc can be detected and purified. Detection and purification takes place in the column of HPLC where the process called adsorption takes place. Retention time can be calculated by the total time taken of a component that spends  in both mobile phase and stationary phase. It is always expressed in minute

Interline Unified Power Quality Conditioner for Enhancing Power Quality using FOFPID-based Interleaved CUK Converter

Electrical distribution systems face increased non-linear loads due to using power electronics for the converters. Due to these non-linear loads, the system exhibits PQ problems in the distributed feeders. To enhance PQ problems in the dual feeder, fractional order fuzzy proportional integral derivative controller (FOFPID) is introduced with interline unified power quality (IUPQC) conditioner. IUPQC conditioner includes a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM), dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) and interleaved cuk converter (ICC). DSTATCOM and DVR are used for compensating the voltages and current in the dual feeders (feeder-1 and feeder-2). Also, ICC monitors the switching between the DSTATCOM and DVR compensators by providing proper power flow. Moreover, the FOFPID controller regulates an input supply from both feeders. The simulation is performed through MATLAB/Simulink platform, demonstrating the robustness of a proposed FOFPID with an IUPQC controller. The performance of a proposed controller is analyzed through two cases for both feeders. Furthermore, the total harmonic distortions (THD) are calculated for the feeder parameters. The proposed FOFPID with IUPQC controller also maintains stability in a dual feeder. Therefore, the entire response shows the functionality and feasibility of a proposed controller
