Fractal dimension for Inhomogeneous graph-directed attractors

In this paper, we define inhomogeneous Graph-Directed (GD) separation conditions for a given inhomogeneous GD Iterated Function Systems (IFS), and estimate the upper box dimension of attractors by the dimension of the condensation set and associated Mauldin-Williams graph dimension. Following some work of Fraser, we also estimate the lower box dimension of attractors generated by inhomogeneous GDIFS. In the end, we shed few lights on the continuity of dimensions for the attractors of inhomogeneous GDIFS.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figur

GST Computation System

We begin by elaborating on the important concept of – cascading effect of taxes. It is also, logically, referred to as “taxes on taxes”. It is simple to illustrate – say A sells goods to B after charging sales tax, and then B re-sells those goods to C after charging sales tax. While B was computing his sales tax liability, he also included the sales tax paid on previous purchase, which is how it becomes a tax on tax. The GST is introduced to combat this problem, among many others. The main purpose of our software will making the invoices task easy and handles all user GST invoicing/billing needs. Customer will select the product and proceed for the invoices by retailer. Retailer will enter the product detail in system and amount of the product. System will select the Tax percentage base on the particular 2product and calculate the actual amount and tax. It will show the total amount of product including GST rates

Quality of life of Chronic Kidney Disease patients attending Nephrology OPD of a tertiary care centre in Western Maharashtra

Introduction: Kidney disease is a global public health problem affecting approximately 750 million people worldwide. Patients of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) face bio-psychological stressors affecting their quality of life (QoL). CKD patients with low QoL have shown considerably high mortality. Assessing QoL can help in planning holistic medical care for these patients and improve disease outcomes. The present study has been conducted with the objective to assess QoL in CKD patients. Objective: To assess QoL of CKD patients attending Nephrology OPD of a tertiary care Government centre in Western Maharashtra. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted in Nephrology OPD of a tertiary care hospital in Western Maharashtra. Pre-tested Research and Development Corporation 36-item Health Survey Questionnaire was self- administered to CKD patients and QoL scores were calculated. All patients attending Nephrology OPD were included in the study group from July to Oct 2019. Data was analysed using SPSS version 20.0. Results: The study included 70 patients with moderate to advanced CKD irrespective of status of treatment being received. Diabetes Mellitus was found to be the most common cause of CKD followed by Hypertension. The mean overall QoL score was 38.9+8.2. The mean Mental Component Summary (MCS) score (29.2+7.8, 95%C.I.: 21.4–37.0 was significantly lower than the mean Physical Component Summary (PCS) score (48.5 + 9.5, 95% C.I.: 39.0-58.0, p<0.001). Conclusion: Patients with CKD have lower MCS compared to PCS

Offline Trajectory Generation for Bipedal Robot Using Linear Inverted Pendulum Model

Reduced order model (ROM)-based controllers have proved to be effective to generate stable bipedal locomotion. However, it is important to understand the limitations and effectiveness of these models without implementing any controllers. This study highlights the versatility of the Linear Inverted Pendulum Model (LIPM) at various walking speeds. Firstly, the Centre of Mass (COM) trajectory has been generated using the LIPM model, and the foot motion trajectory has been created using a sixth-order polynomial function. The trajectory is generated using a predefined step length, speed of locomotion and COM height. Secondly, the task space trajectory has been converted into a joint space trajectory through inverse kinematics for a 6-degree-of-freedom leg. To facilitate the proper walking motion the contact between the foot sole and the ground is implemented. Finally, a simple bipedal robot in MATLAB/Simulink has been modelled and the generated trajectories were implemented

PERILLA FRUTESCENS – A REVIEW ON PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES, EXTRACTION PROCEDURE AND APPLICATIONS.

Perilla frutescens is an annual natural medicinal, aromatic, useful food, and decorative plant that belongs to the mint family, Lamiaceae. The source of perilla lies into East Asian countries (China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, and India), in which it's been used as an important root of culinary and conventional medicinal uses. The leaves, seeds, and stems of P. frutescens are used for numerous healing purposes in community medicine. Recently, Perilla plant is gaining extra interest due to its medicinal advantages and phytochemical contents. The fundamental phytochemical compounds found in this species are phenolic compounds (Rosmarinic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid), flavonoids (luteolin, apigenin), Phytosterols, Tocopherols, Policosanols and Fatty acid. Perilla seed oil too is a wealthy supply of vital fatty acid which includes α-linolenic acid (54-64%) and linoleic acid (14%). Perilla has shown different biological actions for e.g., antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-allergic, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and neuroprotective actions. Perilla seed oil consists of omega-3-fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). In comparison with rest of the plant oils, perilla seed oil uniformly contains one of the highest percentages of omega-three (ALA) fatty acids, at 54–64%. The omega-6 (linoleic acid) is around 14% and omega-9 (Oleic acid) too is found in perilla oil. These polyunsaturated fatty acids are very useful to human wellbeing and in prevention of various illnesses like cardiovascular disorders, cancer, inflammatory, rheumatoid arthritis etc

A review on: Introduction of complementary food in diets of babies

Human having the long time periods of adolescent reliance, and things are considered the briefest time of lactation. The people followed the incredible chimp example of enhancing our posterity by means of lactation and not considering again until adolescents were healthfully autonomous, our interbirth stretch would be somewhere in the range of 10 and 15 years. The hole between healthful prerequisites and the sum acquired from breast milk increments with age. Complementary feeds for infants are solid foods and liquids other than breast milk or infant formula. Complementary feeding is a process that should be taken place between the age of six months to two years, an important period of growth, development, and health of a child. The babies are more prominent than 1 year old enough, for the most part, that has satisfactory supplement admissions, and primer correlations propose that, here and there, taking care of examples has improved at the beginning around 2008. At all ages, youngsters had good admissions of nutrients like vitamin B, C & K, and most minerals aside from potassium. Energy is relied upon to be covered by corresponding food varieties such as 200 kcal each day for 6-8 months, 300 kcal each day for 9-11, and 550 kcal each day for 12-23 months, separately. The job of corresponding food is to meet this ideal edge. What’s more, correlative food varieties should give generally huge extents of the micronutrients like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and vitamin B6.

Botulinum Toxin in Restless Legs Syndrome—A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Crossover Study

Background: Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a common movement disorder with an estimated prevalence of up to 12%. Previous small studies with onabotulinumtoxin A (OnaA) for RLS have shown inconsistent results. Methods: Twenty-four patients with an International RLS score (IRLS) of &gt;11 (moderate-severe) were enrolled in this blinded, placebo-controlled crossover study. Twenty-one patients completed the evaluations at 4, 6, and 8 weeks after each injection. One-hundred units of Incobotulinumtoxin A (IncoA) or normal saline were injected into tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, and biceps femoris muscles each side. Results: Improvement from a severe (IRLS &gt;21) to a mild/moderate (IRLS &le;20) score was significant at four weeks (p = 0.0036) and six weeks (p = 0.0325) following IncoA administration compared to placebo. Additionally, there was significant improvement in pain score at six weeks as measured by Visual Analogue Scale (p = 0.04) and the Johns Hopkins Quality of Life Questionnaire (p = 0.01) in the IncoA group. Definite or marked improvement on Patient Global Impression of Change was seen in 7 out of 21 patients in the IncoA group vs. 1 out of 21 patients in the placebo group at 4 weeks (p = 0.012). Conclusion: IncoA injection lead to a reduction in severity of RLS symptoms, pain score, and quality of life, without any adverse effects

Audiometric studies in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Introduction: Hearing defects can cause inconvenience in communication which can have prodigious impact on the psychological, social and emotional functions. The increasing incidence of diabetes and profound effect of hearing loss on quality of life mandates the need to study the possible association between the two. Materials and method: An observational study was conducted including 100 participants such that 50 were non-diabetic (group A) and another 50 were diabetic. The participants of two groups were matched for age and gender. The Random Blood Sugar, HbA1c, Pure Tone Audiometry were assessed. The statistical analysis of data was done using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 21.0 version, IBM, Chicago. Results: The median age of the participants belonging to group A and B was 39.0 years and 40.0 years respectively. No significant association was observed between the presence or absence of diabetes and hearing loss (Chi-square value- 2.1, df-3, p value&gt;.05). Amongst the patients with diabetes, the HbA1c level was found to have no significant association with the severity of hearing loss (Chi-square value- 9.243, df-4, p value&gt;.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that there is no significant difference in hearing loss amongst the persons with and without diabetes
