Diagnosis and Prognosis of Breast Cancer Using Multi Classification Algorithm
Data mining is the process of analysing data from different views points and condensing it into useful information. There are several types of algorithms in data mining such as Classification algorithms, Regression,Segmentation algorithms, Association algorithms, Sequence analysis algorithms, etc.,. The classification algorithm can be usedto bifurcate the data set from the given data set and foretell one or more discrete variables, based on the other attributes in the dataset. The ID3 (Iterative Dichotomiser 3) algorithm is an original data set S as the root node. An unutilised attribute of the data set S calculates the entropy H(S) (or Information gain IG (A)) of the attribute. Upon its selection, the attribute should have the smallest entropy (or largest information gain) value. A genetic algorithm (GA) is aheuristic quest that imitates the process of natural selection. Genetic algorithm can easily select cancer data set, from the given data set using GA operators, such as mutation, selection, and crossover. A method existed earlier (KNN+GA) was not successful for breast cancer and primary tumor. Our method of creating new algorithm GA+ID3 easily identifies breast cancer data set from the given data set. The multi classification algorithm diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer data set is identified by this paper
Transient Solution of M [X]/G/1 Queue system with Balking and Re service
batch arrival non-Markovian queue system in where consumers arrivalare batches in accordance with Poisson process and customer are treated by first-comefirst-served principle. When a customer’s service is completed, he or she has thechoice of requesting reservice for the same service or exiting the mode. Eachcustomer’s service duration follows a genaral (arbitrary) distribution. In addition, aftercompleting service, server takes vacation by having probability p or may be remainwith probability 1−p, if any, to serve a subsequent customer. One of the impatientcustomers behavior balking, has also been added, indicating that a consumer canchoose whether or not to enter the system. Also, we suppose after every period theserver could not begin to providing service immediately, but rather requires somestartup time before giving service to the first consumer. After discussion of transiantsteady state system we can obtain closed-form system performance measurement

Mobile Coordinated Wireless Sensor Networks with Fault-Tolerance for Structural Health Monitoring
This paper introduces the Structural health monitoring (SHM) using Mobile Access Coordinated Wireless Sensor Network (MA-WSN) energy - efficient scheme for time sensitive applications. In Sensor Networks with Mobile Access points (SENMA), the mobile access points (MAs) traverse the network to collect information directly from each sensor. To organize disjoint nodes forming into small groups in high energy level, sensors are used in clustering methods, where each cluster has a coordinator referred as Cluster Head (CH). Early detection of failure CHs will reduce the data loss and provide possible minimal recovery efforts. Failure CHs are unable to connect to automatically organized another cluster head of access node and this access node collect and transfer data directly. So a new technique has been proposed in this paper which improves the life time of sensor nodes or it minimizes the maximum energy used by the sensor for transmitting data to the base station and also ensures monitoring quality. The performance of the proposed placement method has been tested by NS2 simulations and the result is compared with the sensor placement using effective independence method. This method obtains almost the same placement quality as that provided by using effective independence method, but with improvement in system life time
A DWT-BCH code based Video Steganography by employing Variable bit length Algorithm
Due to the high speed of Internet we can easily transfer video data over the Internet, but people are worried about their data being hacked by unauthorized users. Inside the host medium (text, audio, image and video) we can embed the secret message in Steganography. Video Steganography is a significant method for data hiding. In this work, a variable bit length Video Steganography algorithm is proposed. To immune the secret data, it is first encoded using BCH codes, where the message bits of length k will be converted to a codeword of length n. Depending on the wavelet coefficient values of DWT(Discrete wavelet transform), secret data are embedded into the middle and high frequencies. The results demonstrate better results than in [1]
A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY EVALUATING THE KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE OF UNDERGRADUATE MEDICAL STUDENTS ABOUT PHARMACOVIGILANCE AND ADVERSE DRUG REACTION REPORTING AT A MEDICAL COLLEGE IN HYDERABAD
Objectives: Objectives of the study were (1) to evaluate the knowledge about pharmacovigilance and (2) to assess the attitude toward adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting among undergraduate medical students.Methods: It is a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study conducted in the Department of Pharmacology, Malla Reddy Medical College for Women, Hyderabad, Telangana, among fifth term Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery students (136). The questionnaire consisted of 16 questions dealing with knowledge, awareness, attitude about pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting. Data were analyzed and presented as percentage among respondents.Results: About 58.8% of students could not identify the proper definition of pharmacovigilance and 84.5% of undergraduates have not seen ADR form. It was agreed among 42.6% of students that ADR reporting is a professional obligation to them and 47.7% agreed that establishing ADR monitoring center in every hospital is compulsory.Conclusions: Our study revealed that though the attitude toward pharmacovigilance was appreciable among the medical students; there lies an insufficient knowledge and awareness about pharmacovigilance. Continued medical education programs and workshops may be helpful in the future to increase awareness and consequently to improve the rate of spontaneous ADR reporting among these upcoming doctors
Intelligent Inter and Intra Network Traffic Estimation Technique for DDoS Attack Detection using Fuzzy Rule Sets for QoS Improvement
The quality of service of any network has higher dependency at throughput, latency and service completion strategies. In modern communication systems, there are many loopholes, which could be used by some malicious users to perform various network attacks so that the performance of the network is degraded. There are many denial of service when an approach has been discussed towards the problem of network threats, but still suffers the quality of denial of service attack detection. Propose a service-constrained approach learns the network traffic in various ways like the traffic incurred within the network and that comes from external network. The method uses various features like hop count, hop details, payload, TTl, time and so on. To maintain a rule set with fuzzy value where each rule specifies the feature of genuine packet being received. The incoming packet has to meet any of the rules and the attribute of the packet has to lie between the ranges of values in the rule. The proposed method estimates the inter traffic and intra traffic through the routes of the packet being transferred to identify the genuine nature of the packet being received. In addition, the method maintains set of logs where the packet features are stored to compute the legitimate weight of each packet being received. Based on compute inter and intra traffic values the received packets trustworthy is computed to allow or deny the packet. The proposed method increases the accuracy of DDOS attack detection and helps to improve the performance of the network.

Effect of Acupressure and Changes in Heart Rate Variability in Dysmenorrhoea
Dysmenorrhoea is a common distressing disorder in women that manifests during menstrual phase especially in young females. The subjects suffering from pain during mensuration are considered to be dysmenorrhoeic. In our studies we have used heart rate variability (HRV) as a sensitive marker of autonomic activity.Autonomic nervous system activity was assessed by means of heart-rate variability (HRV) power spectral analysis during supine rest. The purpose of this study was to assess the changes in heart rate variability in dysmenorrhoea by assessing sympathetic activity and parasympathetic activity and to find out the effect of acupressure therapy whether it is beneficial or not in alleviating the symptoms of dysmenorrhoea. HRV and intensity of pain was assessed before and after acupressure therapy in dysmenorrhoea. Pain intensity was graded using Visual analogue scale. We have noted a significant alteration in autonomic function which may be an important component of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Acupressure therapy has been effective in regulating the autonomic alterations. Acupressure therapy is an ancient Oriental healing method that applies pressure through a blunt probe to specific points on the skin surface which helps to prevent and treat illness. Acupressure therapy has also significantly reduced the dysmenorrhoeic pain as observed from our visual analogue scores. Our study has clearly revealed the beneficial effect acupressure on dysmenorrhea. It is a very simple procedure that can easily be taught to be self practiced by the dsymenorrhoeic females to relieve the pain during mensuration. It will be a simple drugless inexpensive method to relieve the pain without any side effects
