A STATISTICAL SEARCH ON CONVERTED GEOGRAPHICAL DATA

More specifically, you can expand and encrypt past searches, especially dealing with system comparisons or encrypting the save command, to allow the parallel rectangle range to explore spatial data. An information analyst can study the ability of social achievement according to the site's record for countless users by evaluating multiple forms of circular domain queries. Although most search-based file encryption systems focus on common SQL queries, for example, keyword queries and logical queries, some investigations have specifically investigated geometric range via encrypted spatial data. Our main contributions are the fact that our design is indeed a general approach, which can support several types of engineering term queries. None of these previous works have been studied in special engineering queries that are expressed as triangles or rectangles that are not parallel to the axis. With the rapid development of social systems, location-based services and travel on a laptop, the amount of data people creates each day continues to grow exponentially. It is no longer easy or perhaps profitable for companies to maintain a large amount of data in their area. More importantly, the general approach still does not exist, which can flexibly and securely support various types of geometric field queries on encrypted spatial data, regardless of their specific geometric shapes. Our design has great potential for use and is implemented in extensive applications, for example, location-based services and spatial databases, requiring the use of confidential spatial data based on a strong privacy guarantee

THE VARIOUS FACTORS AFFECTING BHESHAJA MATRA (DOSE) AND THE IMPORTANCE OF DASAVIDHA PARIKSHA IN DECIDING THE PROPER MATRA

The success of treatment depends on dosage, time and proper administration (Yukti). Every wise physician gives importance to these two factors Matra and Kala, where Matra is prime one. Aushadha is one among the four Chatuspada. If it is properly used in Samyak matra, it cures diseases. If it is used in Atimatra, it may harm body or excreted by Malamarga. Same way if it is used in Hina matra, may not be capable to cure the disease. It is the Matra only by which Visha becomes Amrta and vice versa Ausadha becomes Visha.The Matra depends on various factors like Dosha, Agni, Bala, Vaya, Vyadhi, Dravya, Bala, Satva, Desha and Kostha etc. To take maximum benefit of Ausadha one should have to consider these all above while examining the Atura. These can be correlated with modern Pharmacology factors like age, weight, surface area, and enzymatic action etc. These factors can be compiled in the Balacatustaya namely Dehabala, Agnibala, Chittabala and Rogabala.Dasavidha Atura Pariksha is most scientific, complete and competent approach to clinical examination, because it is integration of both Roga Pariksa and Rogi Pariksa. It elicits an accurate account of Vyadhibalapramana and set this against the background of Aturabalapramana, which helps in deciding proper Matra

Investment Casting Of Torpedo Nozzle

Investment Casting is also known as Lost Wax process. Investment casting process is generally used to produce intricate and complex shaped products. The primary objective of the project work is to produce Torpedo Nozzle by investment casting. Nozzles are manufactured by investment casting process consisting of wax injection, ceramic coating, wax removal, metal casting, and finishing. The creep strength of the product should be enhanced as we go to higher temperature application. Super Alloys (Ni-based) satisfy the above condition and are hence used for the production of components used at elevated temperatures. Earlier IN 718 was used in the manufacture of Torpedo nozzles by mechanical working and machining the alloy to obtain the final product. Machining of the nozzle was difficult as it involved intricate shape internally and also as found to be eroding during its service. This alloy also can not be used above 700°C because the strengthening precipitates will coarsen. Hence, we produced the nozzles by Investment Casting process, using CM 247 to overcome the limitations of IN 718. CM 247 can withstand higher temperatures (1000°C - 1100°C) and has better mechanical properties over IN 718. The focus of this experimental work was on the several stages of investment casting process and the microstructures were also studied

Outcome of posterior cruciate ligament-retaining primary total knee arthroplasty in arthritic patients

Background: The incidence of arthritis is rising in India due to increase in the proportion of ageing population and obesity. Cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a promising mode of treatment for end stage arthritis, with excellent functional outcome. Hence, we have evaluated the functional outcome of posterior cruciate ligament retaining TKA and the problems related to the procedure at our institute.Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 30 patients who underwent posterior cruciate ligament retaining primary TKA at a tertiary health care centre between December 2012 and May 2014. Patients were evaluated using Knee society score (knee score and function score) at regular follow up visits.Results: The study included TKA for 42 knees in 30 patients. Indications for TKA were osteoarthritis in 37 knees and rheumatoid arthritis in 5 knees. The average follow-up period was 24 weeks. All the 42 knees had poor knee score (<60) and poor functional score (<60) preoperatively. Postoperatively 37 knees had excellent (80-100) and 5 knees had good knee score (70-79) whereas 22 patients had excellent (80-100), 5 patients had good (70-79), 2 patients had fair (60-69) and 1 patient had poor functional score (<60). Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that posterior cruciate retaining TKA is a reliable procedure with excellent functional outcome, pain relief and early return of patients to their daily activities. Posterior cruciate retaining TKA provided excellent knee society score and functional score in majority of patients

Evaluaton of hypoglycaemic and wound healing activities of Tiliacora acuminata

Natural products particularly plant origin have played a vital role in prevention and mitigation of human diseases. The present study was carried to evaluate the antihyperglycaemic and wound healing activity of the leaf Extracts of Tiliacora acuminate (Lam) on rats, the aqueous leaf extract was found to produce significant reduction of blood glucose concentration between 2-4 h of administration in alloxan induced hyperglycaemic rats at tested dose levels. However, in normoglycaemic animals, the extract at 400mg/kg produced significant reduction of blood glucose between 2-4 h of administration. In the wound healing studies, the leaf juice was found to be more active than the extract

Prediction of outcomes in acute exacerbation of COPD with DECAF score and BAP 65 score in a rural population

Background: Prognostic research in exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) requiring hospitalization has been limited and there appears to be little common ground between predictors of mortality in stable disease and during AECOPD. Furthermore, none of the prognostic tools developed in stable disease have been tested on hospitalised patients, and most require clinical measurements not routinely available at hospital admission. This study intends to test dyspnoea, eosinopenia, consolidation, acidemia, and atrial fibrillation (DECAF) and biological assessment profile (BAP) 65 Scores on Indian patients in a tertiary care set up and validate the same to be used as a routine and effective score in predicting the outcome in AECOPD.  Methods: Hospital based prospective observational study was carried out in 100 patients with AECOPD who was present to general medicine. DECAF and BAP-65 Scores were calculated. Data was analyzed using SPSS 22 version software.Results: In our study both DECAF score and BAP‑65 score performed equally well for prediction of need for Mechanical Ventilation. The AUROC for need for Mechanical Ventilation was 0.77 (95% CI=0.67–0.84) for DECAF score and 0.77 (95% CI=0.67–0.85) for BAP‑65 score. The AUROC for prediction of mortality for DECAF score was 0.83 (95% confidence interval [CI]=0.74–0.89) and for BAP‑65 score was 0.79 (95% CI=0.69–0.86).Conclusions: DECAF and BAP-65 are good and also equal in predicting mortality as well as need for mechanical ventilation. Both scores can be easily applicable in AECOPD patients, so that death during hospitalization for AECOPD and need for mechanical ventilation can be minimized.

Gastroesophageal Reflux and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) commonly co-exist. Pathophysiological mechanisms causing IPF are still not well understood, and GERD has been implicated in both as a probable causative and disease-promoting entity. Although not conclusively proven, this relationship has been the subject of several studies, including therapeutic interventions aimed at treating GERD and its resultant effect on IPF and related outcomes. Our review aims to present the current concepts and understanding of these two disease processes, which are multifaceted. Their complex interaction includes epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, review of research studies conducted to date, and future directions for research

Atomic Layer Deposition of 2D Metal Dichalcogenides for Electronics, Catalysis, Energy Storage, and Beyond

2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are among the most exciting materials of today. Their layered crystal structures result in unique and useful electronic, optical, catalytic, and quantum properties. To realize the technological potential of TMDCs, methods depositing uniform films of controlled thickness at low temperatures in a highly controllable, scalable, and repeatable manner are needed. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a chemical gas-phase thin film deposition method capable of meeting these challenges. In this review, the applications evaluated for ALD TMDCs are systematically examined, including electronics and optoelectonics, electrocatalysis and photocatalysis, energy storage, lubrication, plasmonics, solar cells, and photonics. This review focuses on understanding the interplay between ALD precursors and deposition conditions, the resulting film characteristics such as thickness, crystallinity, and morphology, and ultimately device performance. Through rational choice of precursors and conditions, ALD is observed to exhibit potential to meet the varying requirements of widely different applications. Beyond the current state of ALD TMDCs, the future prospects, opportunities, and challenges in different applications are discussed. The authors hope that the review aids in bringing together experts in the fields of ALD, TMDCs, and various applications to eventually realize industrial applications of ALD TMDCs.Peer reviewe
