SFCL and Applications Study for Implementation in Electrical Power System

The increase in demand and consumption of electricity has led to an increase in system errors. Superconducting Residual Current Limiters (SFCLs) provide ideal performance in the power grid. The concept of superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) suggests two types of superconducting materials. First of all Resistive-SFCL (which is inserted directly in series with the circuit to be protected). Second, the inductive SFCL (a transformer shorted by a superconducting tube). We also explore some uses of the proposed SFCLs to limit the fault current that appears in the electrical network. The fault current level has become a major problem in the operation of transmission and distribution systems. Applying the superconducting residual current limiter (SFCL) would not only reduce the load on the equipment in the network, but can also provide a link to improve the reliability of the power system. They also make the electricity grid more efficient and more integrated

Key Perspectives in Power Aware Ad-hoc Internet of Things with Advanced Networks and Real Time Scenarios

Smart gadgets with integrated power optimization segments are the key perspectives that use Internet of Things (IoT) enabled technology to promote lifestyle advancements. It has an influence on a number of sectors in academia and/or business thanks to its strong integration with the current Cloud architecture. Recently, the Internet of Things has been acknowledged as a disruptive technology for the aerial ad hoc network. IoT may be thought of as a network inside a network. IoT-based networks rely heavily on the so-called self-organizing capability working in a dispersed manner in ad hoc networks, with users travelling at speeds ranging from walking pace to automobile, rail, or airline speed. IoT applications that assist logistics and the administration of ad hoc networks may be found in a broad variety. Utility companies are under pressure now to produce ever more enormous amounts of electricity. In megacities, there is an exponential rise in the number of people and energy users. Thus, the need for energy conservation is growing significantly on a global scale. The best way to optimise the rising energy demands and consumptions is as a consequence of the development of energy-monitoring systems. These solutions can cut current utilisation levels, stop energy waste, and make better use of our resources

Morphometric analysis of lateral menisci in North Indian population: a cadaveric study

Background: The menisci (formerly called semilunar cartilages) of the knee lie within the knee joint between the femur and tibia and somewhat adapt the tibial and femoral condyles to each other. The menisci are liable to injury resulting from twisting strains applied to flexed weight bearing knee. The mean annual incidence of meniscal tears is about 60-70 per 100,000 with a male to female ratio ranging from 2.5:1 to 4:1. The present study was conceived to provide valuable morphological data for preparing meniscal allograft for people of this region so that accurate matching can be done in meniscal transplantation.Methods: The study was carried out in 100 lateral menisci of adult human male cadavers with age ranging from 20 to 50 years. Distance between anterior and posterior horns of lateral meniscus, outer and inner border length, width and thickness at three points, namely anterior, middle and posterior one third was taken with the help of non-elastic thread and Vernier caliper. Written informed consent was taken from the relatives of the deceased.Results: Distance between the two horns of lateral meniscus, outer border and inner border length of right and left lateral meniscus were not significantly differently from each other. Width and thickness of lateral meniscus was highest in the middle part which was significantly different from other parts.Conclusions: In conclusion, width and thickness was highest in the middle third part of lateral menisci. Also, shapes of lateral menisci were different from others studies. The current study presents a database of morphological values of lateral menisci for North Indian population for meniscal transplantation.

TETRACYCLINE: A USEFUL CLASS OF ANTIBIOTICS FOR SUCCESSFUL ENDODONTICS

Antibiotics have been used frequently in treatment of odontogenic infections. However in endodontic diseases, the source of infection is rarely eliminated by the use of antimicrobial drugs alone. The mainstay of treating pulpal and periapical infections remains the cleaning and debridement of root canal system. Topical antibacterial agents can be used as an adjunct in the form of an irrigant or intracanal medicament during endodontic therapy. Most often employed antibiotic in endodontics is tetracycline class of drugs. Research has shown that tetracycline agents have various beneficial properties apart from bacteriostatic action, including antiresorptive activity, ability to remove smear layer from canal surface after cleaning and shaping. They also show the property of substantivity which prolongs their effect by allowing slow gradual release over time. Therefore, the present paper aims to outline the possible applications of tetracycline drugs in endodontics
