A Novel Approach to Enhance the Performance of RIP and RIPng Protocols For Ad Hoc Networks

In mobile ad hoc networks, there is a tradeoff between QOS and energy consumption because in order to achieve maximum quality of service , maximum energy has to be consumed. In this paper a novel approach is implemented ie integrating logical link control with MACto minimize the energy consumption and enhancing the performance of routing information protocol is studied in the context of best effort and QOS model in mobile ad hoc networks using EXATA Emulator.From emulation results we found that energy consumption ,jitter, end-to-end-dely decreases and throughput increases in QOSRIPngLLC

Induction of Lipoxygenase in downy mildew resistant seedlings of pearl millet in response to inoculation with Sclerospora graminicola

Lipoxygenase (LOX) activity was studied in seedlings of pearl millet genotypes resistant and susceptible to downy mildew pathogen Sclerospora graminicola. An increase in LOX activity was observed during the incompatible host-pathogen interaction whereas the activity decreased in compatible ones. Resistant pearl millet seedlings exhibited a 2.4-fold increase in LOX activity after inoculation with the pathogen. The enzyme activity was maximum at 18 h after inoculation. The enzyme activity was maximum in shoot portion of resistant genotype after inoculation. The enzyme activity correlated well with the degree of host-resistance to the pathogen. Substrate-based gel assay revealed five isozymes (LOX-1, LOX-2, LOX-3, LOX-4 & LOX-5) in both susceptible and resistant genotype. An additional isozyme (LOX-6) was unique to only resistant genotype after inoculation

GESTURE BASED TOUCHPAD SECURITY SYSTEM WITH DESIGN OF TOUCH SCREEN CONTROLLER

The purpose of the project is to present a new approach on the design of security systems by using a touch sensitive device. Security is a permanent concern in a variety of environments ranging from physical access restriction in home and industrial settings to information security in digital systems. Numeric passwords, fingerprint recognition, and many other techniques have been extensively implemented in the past but they present certain drawbacks. The proposed technique makes use of a touch device to recognize symbols as passwords and takes time into account to add a new dimension and prevent password theft. We implemented a prototype that demonstrates the capabilities of the proposed security approach by showing one direct application in physical access restriction systems

Role of Self Care Practices and Denture Maintenance in Oral Health

Background: Edentulous patients seek treatment to restore their oral function and esthetics, so that they can eat and speak more easily and feel better about themselves. The dental prosthesis helps replacement of teeth and restores oral function and esthetics. For the success of the treatment and acceptance ofthe prosthesis, maintenance of the prosthesis by the patient is very important. The authors’ objective in this study was to analyze how selfcare practices in terms of oral hygiene habits, maintenance of dentures, type of prosthesis are affected by age, gender and education level. Materials and methods: The authors developed a written oral health questionnaire and administered it to 586 individuals in dental care centres in Mangalore, South India. They ollected demographic information as well as data on oral hygiene practices and prosthetic status. The data was compared using Chi-squared test and the value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The sample surveyed consisted of 586 participants (257 males and 329 females) of which 76 (13.0%) were with complete dentures, 312 (53.3%) with Fixed Prosthesis, 165 (28.2%) with Removable Partial dentures and 33 (5.5%) had a combination of the fixed and removable prosthesis. The study showed that denture cleansing habits, Oral hygiene habits, how prosthesis was worn, type of prosthesis were significantlyassociated with age and educational status of the subjects. Conclusion: Intensive population-directed strategies for oral health education should be developed in order to improve the oral hygiene practices, denture cleansing habits in the entire population

Crown dilacerations - Two case reports

Crown dilaceration is a relatively abnormal clinical finding when compared to root dilacerations. The incidence of crown dilacerations is stated to be as low as 3%. This report presents two cases of crown dilacerations in two different locations. A brief review of the literature pertinent to the condition, and the clinical and radiological features of this rarer entity are discussed

Workplace Collaboration Using Remote Desktop

WORKPLACE COLLABORATION USING REMOTE DESKTOP refers to a software or Operating System feature that allows a PCs desktop environment (client) to be run remotely by another system (server). It is a set of platform for the project leaders and administrator to monitor the activities performed by their team in real time (live) and sends messages to keep constant interaction with the programmers. We aim to provide multiple features through a single platform. It helps to maintain the attendance record in an organization, provides a feature of monitoring all the live activities performed by the employee in real time and block the users from doing any inappropriate or unofficial task during their work hours and to provide communication between the employee within an organization through video chatting and text chatting features along with the file transfer activity as well .This facilitates the user to concentrate more on the project and less on the managing of these tasks. In particular, showing live actions on the Administrators desktop of a remote employee has great instructional value that must not be overlooked. Similarly, an employee can demonstrate skills and report about the status of the project from time to time that would otherwise need a physical presence in a meeting, rather than a virtual one

Fluid dynamics of droplet generation from corneal tear film during non-contact tonometry in the context of pathogen transmission

Noninvasive ocular diagnostics demonstrate a propensity for droplet generation and present a potential pathway of distribution for pathogens such as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. High-speed images of the eye subjected to air puff tonometry (glaucoma detection) reveal three-dimensional, spatiotemporal interaction between the puff and tear film. The interaction finally leads to the rupture and breakup of the tear film culminating into sub-millimeter sized droplet projectiles traveling at speeds of 0.2 m/s. The calculated droplet spread radius ( ∼ 0.5 m) confirms the likelihood of the procedure to generate droplets that may disperse in air as well as splash on instruments, raising the potential of infection. We provide a detailed physical exposition of the entire procedure using high fidelity experiments and theoretical modeling. We conclude that air puff induced corneal deformation and subsequent capillary waves lead to flow instabilities (Rayleigh-Taylor, Rayleigh-Plateau) that lead to tear film ejection, expansion, stretching, and subsequent droplet formation
