Network Traffic Threat Detection and Reporting System Validation through UML

In today’s digital world, computer network security experts struggle to manage security issues effectively. Reporting the network data in graphical form helps the expert to take decision in more effective and efficient way. Visualizing the network traffic seamlessly is a big challenge but an integrated network traffic visualization approach can resolve such issues effectively. The work presented here focuses on structural, behavioral and architectural modeling of an Integrated Network Traffic Visualization System (INTVS) and validating  it through unified modeling language. The adopted modeling can accommodate the analysis and designing of INTVS effectively, which is demonstrated in this study. Keywords:  Network traffic visualization, Network Security, INTVS framework,  INTVS modeling

To study the pattern of adverse drug reactions among patients hospitalized in the medical wards of a tertiary care hospital

Background: ADRs have a major impact on public health, quality of life.  ADRs are a recognized hazard of drug therapy. Although some ADRs are minor and resolve without squeal, others can cause permanent disability or death. Despite the methodological rigor of clinical trials, it is generally not possible to identify all safety issues associated with drugs during the pre-marketing research phase.  The only way to find out such occurrences is to be on active-look out for adverse events over a long time horizon in large population and in different host conditions. The information may be useful in identifying and minimizing preventable ADRs, while generally enhancing the knowledge of the prescribers to deal with them more efficiently.Methods: This retro-prospective study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital for one year.  Data of those patients who experienced ADRs was recorded in detail from internal Medicine ward. An assessment of causality was done. Data was evaluated to determine the class of drugs and the organ systems frequently associated with ADR within the settings of the institute.Results: The total incidence of ADRs was 7.59% in hospitalized patients with male predominance. Most common system involved was GIT followed by CNS and CVS. Antibiotics were most common culprits for ADRs followed by NSAIDS and hypoglycemic agents. In causality assessment probable ADRs were much more than possible ADRs. Severity of reaction in most of the patients was moderate. Majority of ADRs were Type A and maximum were probably preventable.Conclusions: There is need to explore the reasons for this relatively low incidence rate of ADR’s in the Indian population. Under­reporting is one of the major factors with a lack of proper pharmacovigilance system which is still in budding state in India

Effect of linear variation in density and circular variation in Poisson’s ratio on time period of vibration of rectangular plate

In this paper, a theoretical analysis is carried out to investigate the effect of linear variation in density and circular variation in Poisson’s ratio on time period of frequency modes of rectangular plate with variable thickness under temperature field. The thickness variation is considered to be circular and temperature variation on the plate is assumed to be bi-linear. Rayleigh Ritz method is used to solve the differential equation. All the results (time period for first two modes of vibration) are presented with the help of tables

structural insights into n terminal to c terminal interactions and implications for thermostability of a β α 8 triosephosphate isomerase barrel enzyme

Although several factors have been suggested to contribute to thermostability, the stabilization strategies used by proteins are still enigmatic. Studies on a recombinant xylanase from Bacilllus sp. NG-27 (RBSX), which has the ubiquitous (beta/alpha)(8)-triosephosphate isomerase barrel fold, showed that just a single mutation, V1L, although not located in any secondary structural element, markedly enhanced the stability from 70 degrees C to 75 degrees C without loss of catalytic activity. Conversely, the V1A mutation at the same position decreased the stability of the enzyme from 70 degrees C to 68 degrees C. To gain structural insights into how a single extreme N-terminus mutation can markedly influence the thermostability of the enzyme, we determined the crystal structure of RBSX and the two mutants. On the basis of computational analysis of their crystal structures, including residue interaction networks, we established a link between N-terminal to C-terminal contacts and RBSX thermostability. Our study reveals that augmenting N-terminal to C-terminal noncovalent interactions is associated with enhancement of the stability of the enzyme. In addition, we discuss several lines of evidence supporting a connection between N-terminal to C-terminal noncovalent interactions and protein stability in different proteins. We propose that the strategy of mutations at the termini could be exploited with a view to modulate stability without compromising enzymatic activity, or in general, protein function in diverse folds where N and C termini are in close proximity. Database The coordinates of RBSX, V1A and V1L have been deposited in the PDB database under the accession numbers 4QCE, 4QCF, and 4QDM, respectivel

Clinicomorphologic Spectrum of Basal Cell Carcinoma: A Series of Twelve Cases

Basal cell carcinoma is a non-melanocytic skin cancer that arises from basal cells. It is the most common skin malignancy in the developed world, while in India it is second to squamous cell carcinoma. Neglected tumors can continue to grow and lead to significant local destruction and disfigurement. Therefore, early diagnosis is essential. Here, is presented a series of twelve cases of basal cell carcinoma showing a spectrum of clinical presentation, including age, gender, and site of occurrence. Also, the varying patterns on microscopic examination are discussed. Prevalence in older age group was noted. The most common site was observed to be head and neck region. However, in contrast to previous studies, a female preponderance was observed. Different morphological types such as undifferentiated, pigmented, and spindle-cell variants were seen. It is important to differentiate basal cell carcinoma from other skin tumors and also type the tumors as the prognosis and risk of recurrence depends on subtype

E-Learning during COVID-19 outbreak : cloud computing adoption in Indian public universities

In the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the need to adopt cloud computing (CC) applications by education institutions, in general, and higher education (HE) institutions, in particular, has especially increased to engage students in an online mode and remotely carrying out research. The adoption of CC across various sectors, including HE, has been picking momentum in the developing countries in the last few years. In the Indian context, the CC adaptation in the HE sector (HES) remains a less thoroughly explored sector, and no comprehensive study is reported in the literature. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to overcome this research vacuum and examine the factors that impact the CC adoption (CCA) by HE institutions (HEIs) in India. The scope of the study is limited to public universities (PUs) in India. There are, in total, 465 Indian PUs and among these 304 PUs, (i.e., 65% PUs) are surveyed using questionnaire-based research. The study has put forth a novel integrated technology adoption framework consisting of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Technology-Organization- Environment (TOE), and Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) in the context of the HES. This integrated TAM-TOE-DOI framework is utilized in the study to analyze eleven hypotheses concerning factors of CCA that have been tested using structural equation modelling (SEM) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The findings reveal that competitive advantage (CA), technology compatibility (TC), technology readiness (TR), senior leadership support, security concerns, government support, and vendor support are the significant contributing factors of CCA by Indian PUs. The study contends that whereas the rest of the factors positively affect the PUs’ intention towards CCA, security concerns are a significant reason for the reluctance of these universities against adopting CC. The findings demonstrated the application of an integrated TAM-TOE-DOI framework to assess determining factors of CCA in Indian PUs. Further, the study has given useful insights into the successful CCA by Indian PUs, which will facilitate eLearning and remote working during COVID-19 or similar outbreak.peer-reviewe

Development of sunlight-driven eutectic phase change material nanocomposite for applications in solar water heating

Organic phase change materials (PCMs) have been utilized as latent heat energy storage medium for effective thermal management. In this work, a PCM nanocomposite, consisting of a mixture of two organic PCMs (referred to as eutectic gel PCM) and minimal amount (0.5 wt%) of nanographite (NG) as a supporting material, was prepared. Differential scanning calorimeter was used to determine the melting temperature and latent heat of pristine PCM, paraffin (61.5 °C and 161.5 J/g), eutectic gel PCM (54 °C and 158 J/g) and eutectic gel PCM nanocomposite (53.5 °C and 155 J/g). The prepared PCM nanocomposites exhibited enhanced thermal conductivity and ultrafast thermal charging characteristics. The nanocomposites were employed for two different applications: (i) providing hot water using an indigenously fabricated solar water heating (SWH) system and (ii) solar rechargeable glove that can be rapidly warmed and used. Experimental results on SWH system show that the use of PCM nanocomposites helps to increase the charging rate of PCM while reducing the discharging rate of heat by PCM to water, thus enhancing the maximum utilization of solar energy and hence improving the efficiency of the SWH system. The experimental results on solar rechargeable glove revealed that the glove has the ability to retain the temperature up to 3 hours

STUDIES ON CLINICAL EFFICACY OF SOME THERAPEUTIC REGIMENS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF ENDOMETRITIS IN COWS

A total of 124 cows were treated with various therapeutic regimens by different routes. In the first group, Ciprofloxacin was administered through intrauterine route with clinical recovery of 87.88 percent and were inseminated in subsequent estrus with conception rate (CR) 48.28 per cent. In second group, clinical response was observed in 95.20 per cent to intra muscular administration of ciprofloxacin with CR of 50.00 per cent. Third group showed clinical recovery in 87.50 per cent animals administered gentamicin intra uterine with CR of 47.62 per cent. Likewise, clinical response and conception rate was 95.40 and 52.63 per cent, respectively after intramuscular administration of gentamicin. Similarly, 0.1 per cent Lugol’s iodine yielded CR of 42.86 per cent amongst 87.50 per cent clinically recovered animals. In untreated control repeat breeder cows, CR was 20.00 per cent whereas amongst normal cyclic cows 55.00 per cent animals conceived. Non-significant (p>0.05) improvement in conception rate was achieved in present study
