Impact of Sugar Effluent on the Physico-Chemical and Geotechnical Behaviour of Soil

Sugar industries plays major role in the environment pollution. The organic effluent (spentwash) discharged by such industries is one of the most complex, troublesome and strongest organic industrial effluent having extremely high BOD and COD values. Assessment on the effect of sugar effluent application on inorganic pollutants (pH, EC, alkalinity, chloride and sulfate, TS and TDS) and organic pollutants (COD, BOD, TVS) were evaluated in laboratory experiment. The soil - pollutant interaction was critically analyzed and reported to explain the effect of sugar effluent on commercial (bentonite) and natural soil properties. The experiments were conducted under batch and continuous mode operation usingsugar effluent contaminated soil samples with highly clay and silt content. Application of sugar effluent improved the physical and chemical properties of soil by reducing the bulk density and increasing the water holding capacity.  The present study showed that the sugar effluent was highly loaded with organic pollutants along with harmful heavy metals which showed significant effect on soil quality and chloride, sulfate present in sugar effluent was reduced by adsorption of sugar effluent through the soil. In this investigation soil columns were developed, and effect of liquid limit, plastic limit and shrinkage limit under expansive and normal soil conditions evaluated of any of soils have been used. COD reduction was achieved ~20 to 48%. Keywords: Sugar Effluent, Physico-chemical behaviour, commercial and Natural soils, Soil – pollutant interaction, Atterberg limits

IOT Based Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Diabetes Mellitus using Deep Siamese Domain Adaptation Convolutional Neural Network

The phrase "Internet of Things" (IoT) refers to the forthcoming generation of the Internet, which facilitates interaction among networked devices. IoT functions as an assistant in medicine and is critical to a variety of uses that monitor healthcare facilities. The pattern of observed parameters can be used to predict the type of the disease. Health experts and technologists have developed an excellent system that employs commonly utilized technologies like wearable technology, wireless channels, and other remote devices to deliver cost-effective medical surveillance for people suffering from a range of diseases. Network-connected sensors worn on the body or put in living areas collect large amounts of data to assess the patient's physical and mental wellbeing. In this Manuscript, IoT -based Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Diabetes Mellitus using Deep Siamese Domain Adaptation Convolutional Neural Networ k (CGM-DM- DSDACNN) is proposed. The goal of the work that has been described to investigate whether Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) on the basis of IoT is both intrusive also secure. The job at hand is for making an architecture based on IoT that extends from the sensor model to the back-end and displays blood glucose level, body temperature, and contextual data to final users like patients and doctors in graphical and text formats. A higher level of energy economy is also attained by tailoring the Long range Sigfox communication protocol to the glucose monitoring device. Additionally, analyse the energy usage of a sensor device and create energy collecting components for it. Present a Deep Siamese Domain Adaptation Convolutional Neural Network (DSDACNN) as a last resort for alerting patients and medical professionals in the event of anomalous circumstances, like a too -low or too-high glucose level

AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF APPLYING VARIOUS CUTTING EDGES ON WIPER MILLING INSERTS IN FACE MILLING AISI 1070 STEEL

In metal cutting industry, edge preparation on carbide inserts have a significant effect on the productivity of a machine. In this study, the effect of various cutting edge preparations on wiper facet which influences various force components and surface finish in the rough milling operation of AISI 1070 steel were experimentally investigated. Tungsten Carbide inserts with three distinct edge preparations and AISI 1070 steel blocks were used. Three-factor (Cutting speed, Feed and Geometry), three-level full factorial design experiments were conducted under dry conditions. During the rough milling operation, three components of forces and surface finish of the machined surface were measured. This study shows that the effect of various edge geometries is more significant on surface finish and has very little impact on the force components

Role of Oral Exfoliative Cytology in Oral Leukoplakia and Squamous cell Carcinoma

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common cancer of the oral cavity. Unlike other cancer, due to its accessibility the oral cancer can detected at the early stage. Oral exfoliative cytology is the simple, sensitive and valuable adjuvant for gold standard Biopsy. In our study we have included 17 cases of oral leukoplakia, and 20 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma to analze the sensitivity and specificity of oral exfoliative cytology. We have also included the cytological features noticed in leukoplakia and squamous cell carcinoma. Result was suggestive of 69% of sensitivity in leukoplakia and 75% of sensitivity in squamous cell carcinoma and both has 100% specificity in oral exfoliative cytology.KEYWORDS: Oral exfoliative cytology, Squamous cell carcinoma, Oral cytology

In vitro propagation of Aristolochia bracteata Retz. - A medicinally important plant

A direct and indirect propagation system has been established for the medicinally important plant Aristolochia bracteata Retz. using inter-nodal segments as explants. The surface sterilization of A. bracteata inter-nodal segments was carried with different concentration of mercuric chloride such as 0.05%. 0.1% and 0.15% for different time duration. Among them, 0.1% mercuric chloride for 2 min showed low percentage contamination  and highest (96%) percentage of microbes free explants. The explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog’s medium augmented with different concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators for direct and indirect regeneration. Highest percentage of callus induction (82.3 ± 0.57) from inter-nodal segments was observed on Murashige and Skoog’s medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/L of 2,4-D. Three types of calli viz.,  friable, semi-friable and compact calli were observed from the inter-nodal segments. Highest frequency of shoot proliferation (61.5 ± 0.43) was observed in Murashige and Skoog’s medium augmented with 1.0 mg/L of 6 - Benzyl Amino Purine in combination with 1.0 mg/L α - Naphthalene  Acetic Acid. Maximum number of shootlets regeneration (2.6 ± 0.15) was also observed from the same medium. The in vitro derived calli were sub-cultured for shoot regeneration. The Murashige and Skoog’s medium fortified with 1.0 mg/L of 6 - Benzyl Amino Purine in combination with 0.5 mg/L of α - Naphthalene Acetic Acid showed the highest percentage (73.2 ± 0.43) shoot proliferation from the inter- nodal segments derived calli.  The in vitro raised shootlets were sub-cultured on ½ strength Murashige and Skoog’s medium augmented with various concentrations of IAA and IBA for root formation. Highest percentage, maximum number of rootlets/shootlet and mean length of rootlets were observed in ½ Murashige and Skoog’s medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L of IBA.
