A Study Of High Rise Construction Through Floating Pillars

Today, most industrial areas, together with apartment buildings, have smaller floors with receptions, exhibition rooms, and conference rooms, a large garage, etc. The immediate background of the floor displacement, the tomb float, the base cut-out and the minute of the fall are recorded for both covers with and without skimming. The evaluation is performed on structural designs that have different types of RCC floors with a light and complex design as well as drift poles. A software application with a limited number of components, namely ETABS, Staad for v8i, is used for evaluation, which allows easy definition of specifications such as lateral stresses, bending accuracy, shear pressure, axial stress, floor shear, floor drift and pad shear. All of these services, unlike the much spaced columns on the upper floors, require a large amount of continuous space, and so the idea of ​​a drift column began. This paper aims to point to the evidence of research conducted in the past by seismic analysis of the structure of a floating column by several authors. FEM codes are produced to obtain 2D multi-storey details with and without the skimming region, which reflect the frame responses at different seismic vibration excitations. It has a distinct appearance material that preserves the PGA and also the regular aspect

A Performance Assessment on Various Data mining Tool Using Support Vector Machine

Data mining is essentially the discovery of valuable information and patterns from huge chunks of available data. Two indispensable techniques of data mining are clustering and classification, where the latter employs a set of pre-classified examples to develop a model that can classify the population of records at large, and the former divides the data into groups of similar objects. In this paper we have proposed a new method for data classification by integrating two data mining techniques, viz. clustering and classification. Then a comparative study has been carried out between the simple classification and new proposed integrated clustering-classification technique. Four popular data mining tools were used for both the techniques by using six different classifiers and one clustered for all sets. It was found that across all the tools used, the integrated clustering-classification technique was better than the simple classification technique. This result was consistent for all the six classifiers used. For both of the techniques, the best classifier was found to be SVM. From the four tools used, KNIME found to be the best in terms of flexibility of algorithm. All comparisons were drawn by comparing the percentage accuracy of each classifier used

A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme regarding prevention of Selected Complications among Immobilized Orthopaedic patients in Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: “FOCULS ON THE ABILITY AND NOT ON THE DISABILITY” Lengthy periods of immobilization are emotionally stressful for patients. Immobility related problems include pressure ulcers, pneumonia, constipation, loss of appetite, urinary stasis, urinary track infections and venous stasis or deep vein thrombosis. When the complications due to immobilization are prevented it helps an individual to be physically, emotionally and psychologically sound. These complications can be prevented through simple basic patient care like skincare, active-passive exercises, changing position and deep breathing exercises. Nurses have a key role in prevention of these complications by educating the patients. Hence the study was conducted “To evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme regarding prevention of selected complications among immobilized orthopeadic patients in Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai. METHODS: The study involved one group pre-test and post-test without a control group using pre-experimental design, with non-probability sampling technique in which purposive sampling method was used. Information was collected from 50 immobilized orthopaedic patients using the structured interview schedule. STP was implemented and post-test was conducted after 8 days using the same structured interview schedule to find out the effectiveness. RESULTS: Majority of respondents (40%) are from the age group of 21-30 years, were male respondents, 64% were married, 30% were illiterate, and 60% of the respondents were laborers. Equal percentage (36% & 46%) of the respondents had a monthly family income of Rs. 3001 to 4000 and Rs. 4001-5000, 90% of the respondents were Hindus. 86% of respondents were taking mixed diet. 60% had compound fracture. The main cause for the fracture was road traffic accident (46%). Regarding effectiveness of STP, the overall mean percentage knowledge score in the pre-test was 34.71% and 80.91% in the post-test. The statistical paired ‘t’ test indicates that enhancement in the mean percentage knowledge score was found to be significant at P≤0.05 percent level for all the aspects under study. There was significant association between the gain in knowledge scores and selected demographic variables with age, gender, education status, monthly income, religion and type of diet at P≤0.05. The study did indicate non-significant association between knowledge scores and marital status, occupation, type of fractures and causes of fracture

Aggressiveness of Ralstonia solanacearum isolates on Tomato

Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is the world’s most economically important destructive disease of crop plants. Fifty seven isolates of R. solanacearum causing wilt on different host plants were collected from different agro climatic zones of India of which 54 isolates were confirmed as race-1, biovar-3 and 3 isolates as race-1, biovar-3B based on morphological, physiological, biochemical and pathogenicity studies. All the isolates were authenticated as Ralstonia solanacearum by using two sets of primers (OLI1 & Y2 and Y1 & Y2). Serological identity of the isolates was done by using diagnostic kit obtained from International Potato Research Center, Lima, Peru and single chain variable fragment antibody specific to Ralstonia solanacearum. Fifty seven isolates of R. solanacearum were inoculated on tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum L) cv. Avinash-II under artificial conditions at bacterial concentration of 5x108 cfu/ml to test its aggressiveness; the results obtained are discussed in this paper

3D excretory MR urography: Improved image quality with intravenous saline and diuretic administration

Purpose To assess the effect of diuretic administration on the image quality of excretory magnetic resonance urography (MRU) obtained following intravenous hydration, and to determine whether intravenous hydration alone is sufficient to produce diagnostic quality studies of nondilated upper tracts. Materials and Methods A total of 22 patients with nondilated upper tracts were evaluated with contrast-enhanced MRU. All patients received 250 mL of saline intravenously immediately prior to the examination. A total of 11 patients received 10–20 mg furosemide in addition to saline. Imaging was performed with a three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) breathhold spoiled gradient-echo sequences. Excretory MRU images were acquired five minutes after the administration of 0.1 mmol/kg gadolinium and were independently reviewed by two radiologists, who were blinded to the MRU technique. Readers evaluated the calyces, renal pelvis, and ureters qualitatively for degree of opacification, distention, and artifacts on a four-point scale. Statistical analysis was performed using a permutation test. Results There was no significant disagreement between the two readers ( P = 0.14). Furosemide resulted in significant improvement in calyceal and renal pelvis distention ( P < 0.005), and significant artifact reduction in all upper tract segments ( P < 0.001) compared to the effect of saline alone. Conclusion Intravenous furosemide significantly improves the image quality of excretory MRU studies obtained following intravenous hydration. Intravenous saline alone is insufficient to produce diagnostic quality studies of the non-dilated upper tracts. J. Magn. Reson.

GWAS and transcriptional analysis prioritize ITPR1 and CNTN4 for a serum uric acid 3p26 QTL in Mexican Americans

Background: The variation in serum uric acid concentrations is under significant genetic influence. Elevated SUA concentrations have been linked to increased risk for gout, kidney stones, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease whereas reduced serum uric acid concentrations have been linked to multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Previously, we identified a novel locus on chromosome 3p26 affecting serum uric acid concentrations in Mexican Americans from San Antonio Family Heart Study. As a follow up, we examined genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism data in an extended cohort of 1281 Mexican Americans from multigenerational families of the San Antonio Family Heart Study and the San Antonio Family Diabetes/ Gallbladder Study. We used a linear regression-based joint linkage/association test under an additive model of allelic effect, while accounting for non-independence among family members via a kinship variance component. Results:Univariate genetic analysis indicated serum uric acid concentrations to be significant heritable (h2 = 0.50 ± 0.05, p Conclusion: Our results confirm the importance of the chromosome 3p26 locus and genetic variants in this region in the regulation of serum uric acid concentrations
