Emerging Routing Method Using Path Arbitrator in Web Sensor Networks

Sophisticated Routing has a big impact on wireless sensor network performance and data delivery. Because nodes join and leave the network on a whim, routing in WSN is not as simple a task as it is throughout sensor networks that are wireless. The fact that the most of WSN devices are resource constrained is another restriction on how routing is implemented in WSN. The WSN uses a variety of routing protocols. However, the primary goal of this research is to determine the best route from the source to the destination using wireless sensor networks and machine learning techniques Which is Particle Swarm Optimization. In this study, an innovative and intelligent machine dubbed the Path Arbitrator or selector, which will store all sensor data and use machine learning methods, is used to develop a new routing mechanism

Relation of Body Mass Index With Fasting Blood Sugar and Triglycerids Level in Healthy Young Adult Medical

Background: Now a day’s, high risk habits like smoking, drinking alcohol, stress and sedentary life Prone to develop diabetes mellitus leading to cardiovascular diseases. Material and methods: These are common factors in medical students hence we have taken up this Study. Students of SS Institute of Medical Science and Research Center, Davanagere, Karnataka, were assessed with their consent for anthropometric measures, fasting blood sugar and triglyceride levels. Results: Among 257 students 130 male and female were 127. In 130 male students 11 were underweight with BMI < 19 Kg/m2, 94 were of normal that is their BMI was between 19 Kg/m2 – 26 Kg/m2 and 25 were overweight with BMI of >26 Kg/m2. In 127 female students 21 were underweight with BMI less than 19 Kg/m2, 82 were of normal weight group of BMI between 19 Kg/m2 – 26 Kg/m2 and 24 were in overweight group of BMI more than 26 Kg/m2. Mean BMI of the three groups in the 130 male students was 22.66±3.36 and that of 127 female is 21.36±3.49. Mean fasting blood sugar level in male is 82.25±9.48 mg/dl and in Female 83.03±10.62 mg/dl. Their mean Triglyceride level was in male 95±39.65 mg/dl and in female 96.08±29.66 mg/dl. Conlusion: Present study shows females and males having overweighted and the fasting blood sugar and triglycerides are more in females than males. From Present study we can say that females are more prone to develop CVD and diabetes mellitus than males even though the risk factors are very high in males

Rice area mapping in Palakkad district of Kerala using Sentinel-2 data and Geographic information system technique

Proper calculation of rice cultivation area well before harvest is critical for projecting rice yields and developing policies to assure food security. This research looks at how Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) can be used to map rice fields in Palakkad district of Kerala. The area was delineated using three multi-temporal cloud free Sentinel-2 data with 10 m spatial resolution, matching to crop's reproductive stage during mundakan season (September-October to December-January), 2020-21. To make classification easier, the administrative boundary of district was placed over the mosaicked image. The rice acreage estimation and land use classification of the major rice tract of Palakkad district comprising five blocks was done using Iterative Self-Organisation Data Analysis Technique (ISODATA) unsupervised classification provision in ArcGIS 10.1 software, employing False Colour Composite (FCC) including Blue (B2), Green (B3), Red (B4) and Near-infrared (B8) Bands of Sentinel-2 images. The classification accuracy was determined by locating a total of 60 validation points throughout the district, comprising 30 rice and 30 non-rice points. The total estimated area was 24742.76 ha, with an average accuracy of 88.33% and kappa coefficient 0.766 in five blocks of Palakkad district. The information generated will be helpful in assessing the anticipated production as well as the water demand of the rice fields

Effectiveness of a national quality improvement programme to improve survival after emergency abdominal surgery (EPOCH): a stepped-wedge cluster-randomised trial

Background: Emergency abdominal surgery is associated with poor patient outcomes. We studied the effectiveness of a national quality improvement (QI) programme to implement a care pathway to improve survival for these patients. Methods: We did a stepped-wedge cluster-randomised trial of patients aged 40 years or older undergoing emergency open major abdominal surgery. Eligible UK National Health Service (NHS) hospitals (those that had an emergency general surgical service, a substantial volume of emergency abdominal surgery cases, and contributed data to the National Emergency Laparotomy Audit) were organised into 15 geographical clusters and commenced the QI programme in a random order, based on a computer-generated random sequence, over an 85-week period with one geographical cluster commencing the intervention every 5 weeks from the second to the 16th time period. Patients were masked to the study group, but it was not possible to mask hospital staff or investigators. The primary outcome measure was mortality within 90 days of surgery. Analyses were done on an intention-to-treat basis. This study is registered with the ISRCTN registry, number ISRCTN80682973. Findings: Treatment took place between March 3, 2014, and Oct 19, 2015. 22 754 patients were assessed for elegibility. Of 15 873 eligible patients from 93 NHS hospitals, primary outcome data were analysed for 8482 patients in the usual care group and 7374 in the QI group. Eight patients in the usual care group and nine patients in the QI group were not included in the analysis because of missing primary outcome data. The primary outcome of 90-day mortality occurred in 1210 (16%) patients in the QI group compared with 1393 (16%) patients in the usual care group (HR 1·11, 0·96–1·28). Interpretation: No survival benefit was observed from this QI programme to implement a care pathway for patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery. Future QI programmes should ensure that teams have both the time and resources needed to improve patient care.

Regional Scenario of Global Suicide .......... IJMTFM (2011) 1(1): 6-11

Suicide is a serious public health problem. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognizing the growing problem of suicide worldwide, urged member nations to address the phenomenon. As suicides continue to be a major burden , study of suicide is conducted over a period of 2-years that is from 1st January 2003 to 31st December 2004. The psychological autopsy conducted, which have been reported in mortuary, here show clear evidence that most of poisonings were by Poisoning & Hanging. And most of victims were suffering from Physical and Psychiatric illness. Majority were illiterates and agriculturists. The special emphasis was made on time of committing suicide, which shows that 68.90% were day time only

Finite Element Analysis on Experimental Stretch Forming Process of AA2014 Alloy at 423 to 623K Temperatures

Sheet metal forming processes are extremely important in the production of many different items. However, the issue of plastic instability, which frequently results in damaged goods, still exists in this industry. To solve this problem during production, it is crucial to take into account a number of factors, limiting diagram of forming. Present case, the Aluminum Alloy (AA2014) has been used to examine its formability at various temperatures (423,523 and 623K) and at strain rates (0.1 mm/s). Stretch forming was used to acquire the study’s findings, and the Nakajima test was used. The findings were evaluated using fractography investigations carried out with SEM. The outcomes demonstrated that as the temperature rose, the material’s limiting stresses became more favorable. Utilizing LS-dyna software, the simulations were carried out. The experimental findings are within the acceptability limit according to this study
