Important Role of Health Workers in Organ Donation at Gross Route Level

Life is an energizing experience. It starts with birth and ends with death. Human spend various stages of life with different illnesses and issues between the birth and death. Donation of an organ is not the same as donating an organ or a portion of an organ for transplantation into another individual improving the quality of life of end-stage organ failure patients. The only choice is organ transplantation way to save lives. As a result, there is a supply-and-demand imbalance for donated organs, resulting in patient death. The number of organ transplants has steadily risen over for the past two decades, and children and adolescents have had outstanding results for their regain of life. That is why importance of organ donation needs to focus on gross route level in the community through health workers

Digital watermarking : applicability for developing trust in medical imaging workflows state of the art review

Medical images can be intentionally or unintentionally manipulated both within the secure medical system environment and outside, as images are viewed, extracted and transmitted. Many organisations have invested heavily in Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), which are intended to facilitate data security. However, it is common for images, and records, to be extracted from these for a wide range of accepted practices, such as external second opinion, transmission to another care provider, patient data request, etc. Therefore, confirming trust within medical imaging workflows has become essential. Digital watermarking has been recognised as a promising approach for ensuring the authenticity and integrity of medical images. Authenticity refers to the ability to identify the information origin and prove that the data relates to the right patient. Integrity means the capacity to ensure that the information has not been altered without authorisation. This paper presents a survey of medical images watermarking and offers an evident scene for concerned researchers by analysing the robustness and limitations of various existing approaches. This includes studying the security levels of medical images within PACS system, clarifying the requirements of medical images watermarking and defining the purposes of watermarking approaches when applied to medical images

MODELLING OF GEOMETRIC ATTACKS FOR DIGITAL IMAGE WATERMARKING

Digital media causes extensive threat in terms of piracy of copyrighted material. Consequently, watermarking has been widely studied as a component of Digital Rights Management (DRM) and protecting Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). The ways and means are required to detect copyright violations and control access to these digital media. This has stimulated the development of digital watermarking. Protecting integrity, validity and ownership of digital multimedia has become a major issue today. Reliable transmission of data over Internet and verification of originality of this data has become a challenge. This leads to the need of studying, analyzing and modelling various attacks on watermarked image. The watermarked image is often subjected to geometric transformation resulting in degradation of the quality of watermarked image. Comprehensive study and analysis of geometric attacks is carried out to study its effect on degradation ofthe qualityof watermarked image

Freeze concentration of sugarcane juice in a jaggery making process

A heat pump based Freeze Concentration System (FCS) is proposed to concentrate sugarcane juice from 20 to 40 Brix in a jaggery making process. Further concentration of the juice is carried out in a boiling pan. Inclusion analysis is carried out to estimate sucrose loss in the ice formed in a layer freezing process. A mathematical model is developed taking in to consideration effect of time varying ice thickness on evaporator temperature, compressor capacity, Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the heat pump. Data on operating parameters for a jaggery unit located at Rahu Pimplgaon in Daund District, Maharashtra was collected through field visits. Using this data, energy consumption of this conventional jaggery making process is calculated. Energy balance has been carried out and Sankey diagram is drawn. Energy consumption of the FCS is calculated using results of the mathematical model. Total energy consumption of the FCS integrated jaggery making process is calculated. Comparison of the conventional process and FCS integrated process is presented. Bagasse saving of about 1338 kg per day can be achieved using heat pump based FCS along with bagasse fired pan boiling. Further, hot spots are eliminated thereby reducing caramelisation significantly resulting in improved jaggery color.© Elsevie

Sugarcane juice concentration: A new approach

A heat pump based freeze concentration system (FCS) using layer freezing process is proposed for concentration of sugarcane juice from 15 to 40 Bx in a sugar manufacture process. Effect of operating parameters such as velocity of the juice, ice growth rate, freezing surface temperature and initial concentration of the juice on the inclusion of sucrose in the ice formed is studied through experiments and published correlations. The variation of the FCS parameters and sucrose inclusion with respect to the temperature difference between refrigerant and sugarcane juice is simulated. The results are presented for a 2500 ton per day (TPD) capacity sugar factory. It is observed that the temperature difference between juice and refrigerant is the governing factor. The results of the simulation facilitate to select operating parameter range of the FCS to be used in the sugar factory. The results show that to make FCS a techno economically viable proposition for sugar factory, low cost freezing surface needs to be developed

Model IPRinternalise(TM) - Integrating Intellectual Property Rights in technical education

The present model "IPRinternalise(TM)" seamlessly integrates Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in technical education, primarily in India, by incorporating the IPR process in all student projects from a very early stage so that the students get exposed to the significance of prior art searches, analysis of prior art in the context of the problem they are solving, developing solutions that are novel, have tailored inventive steps and are useful. Such an approach value adds to the "learning" ability of the students and instills in them ethical values and trains them to observe, critically analyse and provide innovative solutions thereby making their educational process substantially comprehensive. The model "IPRinternalise(TM)" also provides a sustainable, cost effective and scalable process for the creation of a critical mass of networked IP literate personnel who are trained to work in "Communities of IP Practices".IPRinternalise Technical education IPR training Student inventions India
