A simple innovative Chennai handshake technique for reducing anterior dislocation of shoulder joint: a community study of 60 cases

Background: Anterior shoulder dislocation is one of the commonest dislocation of our body. We here by introduce a simple, safe, successful and easily reproducible “Chennai Handshake Technique” to relocate anterior dislocation of shoulder joint.Methods: This method was performed by a single surgeon on sixty cases (51 males, 9 females) of anterior shoulder dislocation with a mean age of 38 years (18 to 58 years) between 2008 to 2013 in tertiary care center. Among sixty patients, there were 12 cases (20%) of fresh dislocation and 48 cases (80%) of recurrent dislocation. It comprises of holding the hand in a classical double shake position and then giving a gentle longitudinal traction (stage I) followed with slow abduction and external rotation of arm (stage II), thus reducing the shoulder dislocation. Vertical oscillation may be a part of stage II in some cases before the external rotation.Results: The index time of patient presenting to the casualty ranged from one hour to 18hrs with a mean of 4.45 hrs. The reduction time ranged  from 1 to 16 min with a mean of  5.6 min. 17 dislocations (28.3%) were reduced  during stage I. 41 dislocations (68.3%) were reduced during stage II. 5 dislocations (12.1%) needed vertical oscillation during stage II. we failed in two cases (3.3%).Conclusions: No need of assistant, no need of anesthesia, no complications makes this technique, a more look back one

Design and development of two degree of freedom model with PID controller for turning operation

The objective is to develop a two degree of freedom model with PID controller for turning process to reduce regenerative chatter with the aim of improving productivity, quality of surface finish, tool life and reducing environmental noise caused by chatter. A system model consists of a workpiece subsystem and a cutting tool subsystem. The workpiece subsystem consists of mass, stiffness and damper. The cutting tool subsystem consists of mass, stiffness and damper. A Piezo actuator and sensor was embedded into the tool holder. A Mechatronic system has been proposed and developed for reducing tool vibration in lathe tool during machining. It consists of electrical and mechanical components; the controller is designed to control the chatter that occurs between the tool and the workpiece. The controller is used to send a feedback to the actuator. The controller is designed so that it suppresses the settling time and dampens the tool. The effective cutting stiffness and effective cutting damping are modeled as a spring and damper during machining. The original response of the system is modeled using transfer function method. Their output responses were obtained using Mat lab software

Optimum Course Association Method with Cloud Service Orchestration

Negotiations in Cloud, Optimal path planning, Cloud Service orchestration Finest Trail Setup Technique in Cloud Ambience[1] proposes a fuzzy logic based SVM approach to secure a collision free path avoiding multiple dynamic obstacles. The navigator consists of an FSVM -Based Collision Avoidance. The decisions are taken at each step for the providers & consumers to negotiate without collision. Fuzzy-SVM rule bases are built, which requires simple evaluation data based on the active participants in the Cloud at a given point of time. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a series of simulations and implemented with a BOINC Manager. The time optimization algorithm that plans and responds a user request on auction-based resource allocation systems can be used for further improvement of Cloud broker services. Issues pertaining to scalability have to be addressed in this scenario. This dispute in the Cloud System can be addressed with Incremental FSVM with Kernel which will give better result in group nodes/clusters. Further to augment the technique, cloud service orchestration is applied. This enhances the approach by creating an application-aligned infrastructure that can be deployed by defining the policies. This paper displays a middleware Cloud Process Orchestration (CPO) for directing and observing computer-generated mechanisms into a Cloud computing environment.Botho Universit

Face Recognition Using Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform

We propose a novel face recognition using Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT), which is used to extract features from face images. The Complex Wavelet Transform is a tool that uses a dual tree of wavelet filters to find the real and imaginary parts of complex wavelet coefficients. The DT-CWT is, however, less redundant and computationally efficient. CWT is a relatively recent enhancement to the discrete wavelet transform (DWT). We show that it is a well-suited basis for this problem as it is directionally selective, smoothly shift invariant, optimally decimated at coarse scales and invertible (no loss of information). Our face recognition scheme is fast because of the decimated nature of the DTCWT. Dual Tree methods are based on image at different resolution. Normalization is done to reduce dimensionality which will reduce memory problem and computation time. Here Principal Component Analysis which is a linear dimensionality reduction technique, that attempt to represent data in lower dimensions, is used to perform the face recognition. PCA is applied that deals with the decomposition of the training set into the Eigenvectors called Eigen faces. Various discrimination analyzes such as, Euclidean, L1, L2 and Cosine similarity are used for the recognition of face images.Botho Universit

IMPACT OF COVID -19 ON TOURISM INDUSTRY IN INDIA

ABSTRACT India is a tourist paradise. Given the country's rich cultural and historical history, diversity of environment, terrains, and natural beauty spots, tourism in India has significant potential. It is regarded as the most prominent and fastest-growing industry. Aside from being a substantial source of foreign exchange, tourism can generate many jobs. The tourism sector has become extremely unstable due to pandemics and infectious diseases. The COVID-19 froze the tourist industry worldwide, and countries worldwide, including India, proceeded to implement travel restrictions to prevent the virus from spreading. Finally, the tourism industry has suffered significant losses due to the severe epidemic of the new coronavirus. As the disease spread, officials in India imposed travel restrictions, social isolation, and a lockdown, effectively putting the country's tourism industry on hold. Travelers canceled their tours due to the virus concern, and agitation caused the tourist graph to plummet substantially. This study aims to determine the importance of the tourist sector in the Indian economy and assess the impact of COVID-19 on the Indian tourism industry.

ROLE OF TOURISM ON PROMOTING ECONOMIC GROWTH IN TAMIL NADU

ABSTRACT Tourism has become an accepted global relaxation activity. It can be domestic or international, and global tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a country's balance of payments. Today, tourism is most important source of income for numerous countries, and affects the financial system of both the source and mass countries, in some cases it is of essential value. Tourism plays an imperative element in humanity's profitable and intellectual development. Tourism is a combine of events, facilities that include transport, accommodation, and restaurants for individuals or groups who travel away from their homes to have a journey familiarity, lodgings and other tourism conveniences. It includes all package providers and it is the whole travel, hotel, transportation and all other components of the world business that meets the needs and desires of travellers, include endorsement.

Optimal path planning approach to Grid environment

Resource Providers & Consumers to navigate purposefully in Grid ambience needs three basic requirements: sensing the nodes, learning and reasoning the budget. In the existing system this is accomplished in a known environment in a predefined path. However, the pervasive presence of uncertainty in sensing and learning makes the choice of a suitable tool of reasoning and decision making that can deal with incomplete information, vital to ensure a robust Grid system. This problem can be overcome by the proposed navigation method using Fuzzy Support Vector Machine (FSVM). It proposes a fuzzy logic based SVM approach to secure a collision free path avoiding multiple dynamic obstacles. The navigator consists of an FSVM -Based Collision Avoidance. The decisions are taken at each step for the providers & consumers to negotiate without collision. Fuzzy-SVM rule bases are built, which requires simple evaluation data based on the active participants in the grid at a given point of time. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a series of simulations and implemented with a BOINC Manager

Formulation of Sodium Alginate Nanospheres Containing Amphotericin B for the Treatment of Systemic Candidiasis

Purpose: The aim of this work was to formulate sodium alginate nanospheres of amphotericin B by controlled gellification method and to evaluate the role of the nanospheres as a "passive carrier" in targeted antifungal therapy. Methods: Sodium alginate nanospheres of amphotericin B were prepared by controlled gellification method, and the particle size analysis was carried out by scanning electron microscopy. The carrier capacity of sodium alginate was evaluated in terms of drug to polymer ratio. In vitro release study was carried out on all drug loaded nanospheres by the dialysis method. Release kinetics of drug from different drug loaded nanospheres was also determined. The in vivo antifungal efficacy of nanospheres bound drug vis-à-vis the free drug was evaluated in candidiasis- induced mice models. Results: Preparation of nanospheres through controlled gellification method yielded particles with a size range of 419.6 ± 0.28 nm. Studies on drug to polymer ratio showed a linear relationship between concentration of drug and drug loading capacity. In vitro release kinetic study revealed that the release of drug from the nanospheres followed Fickian diffusion. In vivo studies showed that the nanospherebound drug produced a higher antifungal efficacy than the free drug. Conclusion: The formulated sodium alginate nanospheres containing amphotericin B was found to have better antifungal activity when compared to the free drug and also yielded sustained in vitro release

Identification of microsatellite markers linked to drought tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa L.) through bulked line analysis

Identification of donor parents and markers for traits conferring drought tolerance eventually hastens the breeding for drought tolerance in rice. The extent of variation for water stress indicators, physio-morphological and plant production traits were assessed by evaluating 36 rice genotypes under water stress condition. Significant variation was observed for these traits and thirteen drought tolerant and susceptible genotypes were selected and grouped as tolerant and susceptible bulks based on physio-morphological and biochemical characterization. Genomic DNA was isolated from these rice accessions and pooled, respectively into drought tolerant and susceptible bulks. Bulked line analysis was carried to identify microsatellite markers linked to drought tolerance in rice. Out of 200 SSR primers screened RM 1092; RM 129 and RM157B were polymorphic between the bulks and also co-segregated among the individual genotypes constituting the respective bulks. The genomic regions flanked by these markers have been identified to be associated with various drought tolerance traits in rice and can be useful for marker assisted selection for drought resistance improvement in rice. The genotypes identified as drought tolerant can be used us donars in drought improvement breeding programmes
