Education is very important for the development of an individual as well as for the society as a whole. It helps an individual in his all round and integrated development, at macro level it provides well trained and highly skilled manpower. Which is vital for the progress of the society in all spheres-Economic, Social and Political

Classical q-deformed dynamics

On the basis of the quantum q-oscillator algebra in the framework of quantum groups and non-commutative q-differential calculus, we investigate a possible q-deformation of the classical Poisson bracket in order to extend a generalized q-deformed dynamics in the classical regime. In this framework, classical q-deformed kinetic equations, Kramers and Fokker-Planck equations, are also studied.

INDIAN LANGUAGE TEXT MINING

India is the home of different languages, due to its cultural and geographical diversity. In the Constitution of India, a provision is made for each of the Indian states to choose their own official language for communicating at the state level for official purpose. In India, the growth in consumption of Indian language content started because of growth of electronic devices and technology. The availability of constantly increasing amount of textual data of various Indian regional languages in electronic form has accelerated. But not much work has been done in Indian languages text processing. So there is a huge gap from the stored data to the knowledge that could be constructed from the data. This transition won't occur automatically, that's where Text mining comes into picture. This research is concerned with the study and analyzes the text mining for Indian regional languages Text mining refers to such a knowledge discovery process when the source data under consideration is text. Text mining is a new and exciting research area that tries to solve the information overload problem by using techniques from information retrieval, information extraction as well as natural language processing (NLP) and connects them with the algorithms and methods of KDD, data mining, machine learning and statistics. Some applications of text mining are: document classification, information retrieval, clustering documents, information extraction, and performance evaluation. In this paper we made an attempt to show the need of text mining for Indian language

Automatic Keyword Extraction from Dravidian Language

Keywords are significant words in a document that gives description of its content to the reader. They provide the summary of a document. Now a days the amount of electronic text increases rapidly in all the languages. So the text mining applications take the advantage of keywords for processing documents. There are few proposed methods for keyword extraction. But not much work has been done in keyword extraction for Indian languages. With exponential increase in the information in Indian languages on the web, automatic information processing and retrieval become an urgent need. Text Mining is essential for knowledge discovery from valuable texts available in many Indian languages. This paper introduces a method, which extracts the keywords from Dravidian languages of India like Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada. We made an attempt to extract the keywords by using words statistics of a documen

Transformations of q-boson and q-fermion algebras

We investigate the algebras satisfied by q-deformed boson and fermion oscillators, in particular the transformations of the algebra from one form to another. Based on a specific algebra proposed in recent literature, we show that the algebra of deformed fermions can be transformed to that of undeformed standard fermions. Furthermore we also show that the algebra of q-deformed fermions can be transformed to that of undeformed standard bosons.Comment: 7 pages, RevTe

Pattern and pharmacotherapy of acute poisonings presenting to a tertiary care centre

Background: Acute poisoning, a therapeutic emergency and one of the common causes of morbidity and mortality globally. The rate of mortality in developed countries range from 1-2%, but in India it varies between 15-30%. According to World Health Organization (WHO), globally more than three million acute poisoning cases with 2,20,000 deaths occur annually. Most of the fatalities are due to the victim not reaching the hospital in time. This study aims to evaluate the pattern of acute cases of poisoning in tertiary care hospital attached to BMCRI.Methods: Prospective, observational study based on hospital records at tertiary care hospital (twelve months). Data regarding demographic profile and treatment was collected. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and SPSS-24.Results: Out of a total of 810 poisoning cases, 608 were included (381 poisoning, 138 drug overdose and 89 snake bite). Organophosphorus compounds (OPC) (131/608) and Aluminium phosphide (43/608) were the commonest poisons consumed in the age group 21-30 years. Sedative-hypnotics, non-benzodiazepine antiepileptics (non BZD AEDs) and paracetamol were common drug overdose cases. Snake bite accounted for 14.6%.Conclusions: OP compounds were the most common among poisons, while sedatives-hypnotics were frequently consumed drugs, followed by Snake bite. Young adults from urban areas were the common victims with suicidal intention. This reflects the need for stringent rules regarding the availability and sale of drugs and poisonous substances

Physiological Responses of Hallikar Bullocks for Ploughing Work under Farming Conditions

The study was carried out in eight Hallikar bullocks aged three to five years maintained by the farmers for agricultural work at Manikikere Hosahalli, Tiptur taluk, Tumkur district, Karnataka which comes under the native tract of the breed. The pairs of bullocks were subjected to normal ploughing work followed for the cultivation of ragi crop, a small millet, using country made wooden plough with iron blade attached. Four hours of ploughing work was carried out continuously during morning session. Physiological responses such as heart rate (HR), pulse rate (PR), respiratory rate (RR) per minute, ruminal motility (RM) per five minutes and rectal temperature (RT) in degree Fahrenheit were recorded before and after ploughing work. The mean values at pre work and post work were 66.38±0.42 and 90.75±0.98 for HR, 62.92±0.37 and 88.33±0.99 for PR, 26.46±0.64 and 56.75±1.87 for RR, 4.75±0.14 and 4.33±0.13 for RM and 101.10 ± 0.06 and 103.70±0.10 for RT, respectively. The results showed significant (P<0.05) increase of all the physiological parameters except ruminal motility. It was concluded that the physiological changes during ploughing work could be associated with increased metabolism which is required to provide adequate energy and oxygen to the working muscles and also to dissipate heat. Further, the present study throws some light on the welfare measures to be followed for working animals, such as providing adequate nutrition, drinking water facility, shelter and as well as restricting the working hours to four during morning session

Generalized symmetric nonextensive thermostatistics and q-modified structures

We formulate a convenient generalization of the q-expectation value, based on the analogy of the symmetric quantum groups and q-calculus, and show that the q->q^{-1} symmetric nonextensive entropy preserves all of the mathematical structure of thermodynamics just as in the case of non-symmetric Tsallis statistics. Basic properties and analogies with quantum groups are discussed.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figure. To appear in Mod. Phys. Lett.

Generalized thermodynamics of q-deformed bosons and fermions

We study the thermostatistics of q-deformed bosons and fermions obeying the symmetric algebra and show that it can be built on the formalism of q-calculus. The entire structure of thermodynamics is preserved if ordinary derivatives are replaced by an appropriate Jackson derivative. In this framework, we derive the most important thermodynamic functions describing the q-boson and q-fermion ideal gases in the thermodynamic limit. We also investigate the semi-classical limit and the low temperature regime and demonstrate that the nature of the q-deformation gives rise to pure quantum statistical effects stronger than undeformed boson and fermion particles.Comment: 8 pages, Physical Review E in pres
