Clinical and angiographic profile in patients of western Rajasthan undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions: a single centre experience

Background: This study was aimed to evaluate clinical and angiographic profile of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention at the Department of Cardiology, Mathura Das Mathur (MDM) Hospital attached to Dr. Sampurnanand Medical College, Jodhpur. Methods: This study was hospital based prospective observational study conducted in the department of cardiology at MDM hospital. This study included 1166 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention at cardiac cathlab of MDM hospital from January 2016 to April 2017. Procedural details noted included vascular access route, lesion characteristics, number of lesions intervened, stents used and periprocedural pharmacotherapy administered. Results: A total of 1166 patients (mean age56.3±10.4 years) with 76.5% male and 23.5% female were included in the study. Smoking and hypertension were the most common risk factors, present in 64% and 56% patients respectively. Diabetes mellitus and obesity were observed in 24.5% , 18.0% patients respectively. Anterior wall MI was the most common mode of presentation (36.2%). Single Vessel Disease (SVD) was the most common angiographic pattern observed in 62% patients; left anterior descending artery (LAD) was the most frequently involved vessel (65.9%); and type B lesions were most prevalent (48%). Most of the procedures were elective (61.4%) and femoral route was used in the majority (76%). Radial access was obtained in 24% of patients. Primary PCI was done in 6% of cases while pharmaco-invasive approach was adopted in 32.6% of patients. Drug eluting stents were deployed in 100% of the cases. The overall procedural success rate was 95.4%. Procedural mortality was nil and periprocedural complications occurred in 16.0% patients. Conclusions: This first PCI study from western Rajasthan provides an overview into the salient features of CAD among regional population and focus on the characteristics of PCIs performed with their outcomes.
Reexamination of N composition dependence of coherently grown GaNAs band gap energy with high-resolution x-ray diffraction mapping measurements

GaNAs films grown on GaAs(001) substrates by metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy were studied by high-resolution x-ray diffraction (XRD) mapping measurements. The lattice constants of epitaxial films are usually estimated from symmetric and asymmetric XRD 2θ−θ measurements. In this study, it is pointed out that the consideration of the tilt angle between the GaAs(115) and GaNAs(115) planes caused by elastic deformation of the films is crucial to determine the lattice constants of the GaNAs films coherently grown on GaAs substrates. Mapping measurements of (115) XRD (2θ−θ)−Δω were performed for this purpose. The band gap energy of the films was determined by Fourier transform absorption spectroscopy measurements. The band gap energy bowing measured up to the N composition of 4.5% will be discussed by comparing with other measurements and theoretical calculations.
The relative stability of garnet-cordierite and orthopyroxene-sillimanite-quartz assemblages in metapelitic granulites: experimental data;The relative stability of garnet-cordierite and orthopyroxene-sillimanite-quartz assemblages in metapelitic granulites: experimental data

The equilibrium between gamet-cordierite and orthopyroxene-sillimanite-quartz assemblages is of fun­ damental importance in constructing the phase relations of metapelitic granulites. Previous studies have inferred widely differing forms, pressure-temperature positions and dP/dT slopes for the reaction. The experiments pre­ sented here show that, for the KFMASH system, the reaction is grt + crd + kfs + qz = opx + sil + L, running from left to right with increasing pressure. The reaction extends from 900 (± 10)T, 8.9 (± 0.3) kbar to 950 (± IOrC, 7.8 (± 0.4) kbar, i.e. it has a neg'ative dP/dT. Comparison with previous data shows the vital importance of accounting for the volatiles contained in cordierite and shows that the high-press ure stability limit of volatile-undersaturated cordierite is between that for volatile-saturated cordierite and volatile-absent cor­ dierite. Natural assemblages are mode lied most closely by experimental studies involving volatile-undersaturated cordierite, with the experimental data of this paper being most applicable to mineral assemblages low in carbon dioxide and calcium. The data of Hensen & Green (1970, 1971, 1972, 1973) are more suitable for natural assem­ blages high in carbon dioxide and calcium. Both sets of data constrain the reaction to lie betweel) 8.0 and 11.0 kbar at 900°C and therefore, the occurrence of the orthopyroxene-sillimanite-quartz assemblage should not be taken as a necessary indicator of metamorphic press ures in excess of ll kbar (Bertrand et al. , 1991). Key-words: cordierite, orthopyroxene-sillimanite, metapelite, granulite, KFMASH.
21. PKPG STUDENTS' ATTITUDES TOWARDS COMPUTER AND THEIR COMPUTER USE: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY AT FACULTY OF EDUCATION, UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MARA (UiTM)

Introduction Malaysia is now in the process of transforming its economic status from that of a developing country to an industrialized country as highlighted in Vision 2020. To achieve this status, the Malaysian government, among other things, established the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) in 1996 to prepare herself to be in step with the developed nations (Norsaidatul Akmar, Harnevie and Valida, 1999). The objective of the establishment of the MSC is to transform Malaysia into a regional and global leader in IT development and applications (Norsaidatul Akmar et. al., 1999). In order to achieve the objective, the Malaysian government has identified seven flagship applications for implementation (MDC, 2004). These flagships include Electronic Government (EG), Telehealth, Multipurpose Card (MPC), Research and Development Cluster (R&D), E-Business and Technopreneur Development. Besides, the enhancement and advancement of the educational sector is not forgotten as the Smart Schools were made one of the MSC flagship applications. In Smart Schools, the use of ICT is given emphasis so that our new generation is able to face the numerous challenges of the Information Age, with the widened use of information and communication technology (ICT) emphasized. In addition, the use of information and communication technology (ICT) also has been stressed on the students of institution of higher learning (IHL). When students are well-versed in ICT, an IT literate community will be produced which will, in turn, transform Malaysia from an industrial to information-based economy.
Growth, gas exchange and yield of peanut in frequency of irrigation

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different irrigation frequencies on growth, gas exchange and yield of the peanut (Arachis ypogea L). The experiment was conducted in the field using the experimental design of randomized blocks with five treatments, five replications with four plants per plot. The treatments were composed: F2 = (irrigation every 2 days), F4 = (irrigation every 4 days), F6 = (irrigation every 6 days), F8 = (irrigation every 2 days) and F10 = (irrigation every 10 days). At 60 days after sowing (DAS), the gas exchange variables (photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration) and growth variables (plant height, leaf number, stem diameter and shoot dry matter) were evaluated. The highest irrigation frequency tested (every two days) promoted the best results for plant growth (leaf number, plant height, shoot dry matter) e for leaf gas exchange. The highest yield of field grown peanuts at the conditions prevailing in Fortaleza, Ceara, is associated with the adoption of an irrigation frequency interval of two days.
Costs of Capital and Earnings Attributes

We examine the relation between the cost of equity capital and seven attributes of earnings: quality, persistence, predictability, smoothness, value relevance, timeliness and conservatism. We refer to the first four attributes as accounting-based because measures of these constructs are typically based on accounting information only. We refer to the last three attributes as market-based because proxies for these constructs are typically based on relations between market data and accounting data. Our analysis of the cost of capital effects of these attributes is based on two distinct approaches to measuring the cost of capital: a cross-sectional approach which uses ex ante cost of capital estimates derived from analyst forecast data, and a time-series approach that uses realized returns and asset pricing regressions. Across both sets of tests, we find that firms with the most favorable values of each attribute, viewed individually, enjoy significantly lower costs of capital than firms with the least favorable values. The largest cost of capital effects are found for the accounting-based attributes; within this set, earnings quality has the strongest effects. Among the market-based attributes, value relevance dominates timeliness and conservatism. Considering all attributes together, the results show that investors consistently price earnings quality and earnings persistence, and to a lesser extent, value relevance.
Logolinear series expansions with applications to primordial cosmology

We develop a method for computing series expansions for solutions to ordinary differential equations when the asymptotic form contains both linear and logarithmic terms. Such situations are common in primordial cosmology when considering series expansions out of a singularity in the equations arising from a pre-inflationary phase of the universe. We develop mathematical techniques for generating these series expansions, and apply them to polynomial and Starobinsky inflationary potentials with kinetic initial conditions. Code for analytic and numerical computation of logolinear series is provided on GitHub.
Logarithmic series and Hodge integrals in the tautological ring. With an appendix by Don Zagier.

0.1. Overview. Let Mg be the moduli space of Deligne–Mumford stable curves of genus g ≥ 2. The study of the Chow ring of the moduli space of curves was initiated by Mumford in [Mu]. In the past two decades, many remarkable properties of these intersection rings have been discovered. Our first goal in this paper is to describe a new perspective on the intersection theory of the moduli space of curves that encompasses advances from both classical degeneracy studies and topological gravity. This approach is developed in Sections 0.2–0.7. The main new results of the paper are computations of basic Hodge integral series in A∗(Mg) encoding the canonical evaluations of κg−2−iλi . The motivation for the study of these tautological elements and the series results are given in Section 0.8. The body of the paper contains the Hodge integral derivations.
SCIENTIST-PRACTITIONER INTERESTS IN A PSYCHOLOGY COMMUNICATION COURSE

Students enrolled in two sections of an undergraduate psychology communication course (n=34) completed the Scientist-Practitioner Inventory at the beginning and end of the semester. As predicted, students showed a stronger preference for practice-related areas of psychology than science-related areas of psychology at both the beginning and end of the course. Changes in student interests were also investigated. Student interests in science and practice related areas and subareas remained relatively stable and were not significantly different from the beginning to the end of the semester. Future career path choices of students and undergraduate program curriculum are discussed.
Engineering electron-phonon coupling of quantum defects to a semi-confocal acoustic resonator.

Diamond-based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) enable direct coupling between the quantum states of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers and the phonon modes of a mechanical resonator. One example, diamond high-overtone bulk acoustic resonators (HBARs), feature an integrated piezoelectric transducer and support high-quality factor resonance modes into the GHz frequency range. The acoustic modes allow mechanical manipulation of deeply embedded NV centers with long spin and orbital coherence times. Unfortunately, the spin-phonon coupling rate is limited by the large resonator size, >100 μm, and thus strongly-coupled NV electron-phonon interactions remain out of reach in current diamond BAR devices. Here, we report the design and fabrication of a semi-confocal HBAR (SCHBAR) device on diamond (silicon carbide) with f·Q>1012 (1013). The semi-confocal geometry confines the phonon mode laterally below 10 μm. This drastic reduction in modal volume enhances defect center coupling to a mechanical mode by 1000 times compared to prior HBAR devices. For the native NV centers inside the diamond device, we demonstrate mechanically driven spin transitions and show a high strain-driving efficiency with a Rabi frequency of (2π)2.19(14) MHz/Vp, which is comparable to a typical microwave antenna at the same microwave power, making SCHBAR a power-efficient device useful for fast spin control, dressed state coherence protection and quantum circuit integration.
Multicenter, Prospective, Controlled Double-Blind Study Comparing Fib-19-01, A Phytotherapy Treatment, To A Dietary Supplement And To Conventional Care In Patients Suffering From Fibromyalgia.

Background Current therapeutic modalities for fibromyalgia (FM) do not provide satisfactory results and new approaches have to be explored. Objectives To assess efficacy and safety of adding a phytotherapy treatment (Fib-19-01) to the current therapeutic regimen in patients with FM. Methods Double-blind controlled trial: women with active FM (Fibromyalgia Index Questionnaire FIQ > 40) were randomised to receive Fib-19-01 or a food supplement (FS) undistinguishable from Fib-19-01 or no supplementary treatment (NoST). All continued the conventional therapy throughout the 6 month follow-up. Primary endpoint: change in FIQ between Day 0 and month 6 (M6). Secondary Criteria: variation over time FIQ ( repeated measurements), change in Pichot fatigue scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), SF-12 and Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scales. Results 100 patients (Intent-To-Treat population) were analyzed. FIQ decreased significantly only in the Fib-19-01 group (P < .001) at both week 12 and 24. Improvement was higher for Fib-19-01 (-13.4 ± 18.9) than in the 2 other groups (-5.5 ± 15.6 and -5.6 ± 11.3) despite there was no statistical between-group difference at week 24 in FIQ score (P = .08 and P = .09 respectively). Analysis of variance in repeated measurements of FIQ showed a significant difference between Fib-19-01 and FS throughout the follow-up period (P = .03). Fib-19-01 was superior to both FS and NoST for Pichot scale decrease over time: -4.6 (range -6.9; -2.28), -0.29 (-2.7; 2.1) and -0.72 (-3.1; 1.66) (P = .013 and 0.023 respectively), mental and social SF12 [+8.1 (range 3.5; 12.6), -0.27(range -5.3; 4.8 ) and -0.02 (range -5.0; 4.9 ) P = . 02 and 0.018)],HAD depression [-2.0 (range -3.3; -0.7), +0.5 (range -0.9; 1.9 ) and +0.71 (range -0.7; 2.1) P = . 013 and 0.007]. No significant difference was found between FS and NoST groups for any outcome. All treatments were well and similarly tolerated. Conclusions In patients with FM taking conventional therapy, Fib-19-01 has a therapeutic effect on fatigue, emotion and social life, and depression associated with the disease.
Fish assemblage structure and habitat use of the snow fed stream Assiganga - a major tributary of river Bhagirathi in Central Himalaya (India)

Assiganga stream is an important tributary of Bhagirathi River in central Himalaya (India). The stream is characterized by heterogeneity in habitat and substratum features harboring diverse fish fauna. At present this stream is facing threat of being fragmented by the construction of two hydro-electric projects. Present study aimed to study fish diversity and their habitat use in Assiganga stream. This study reports fifteen species (14 indigenous and 1 exotic) belonging to 8 genera, 4 families and 3 orders. Snow trout, Schizothorax richardsonii (Cyprinidae family) and Salmo trutta (Salmonidae family) were the dominant species (> 65% of total fish catch) throughout the entire length of stream. The presence of rich benthic food, clear water, low turbidity (01-05 NTU), high DO (8.75-10.75 mg-l), and high water velocity (1.10-1.40 m-s) with characteristic rapids and cascades in upper reaches provides ideal habitat for the existence of native snow trout and exotic trout species. Few cat fishes, loaches, Tor spp. and lesser barils also have been reported during the study.

Background: Despite plenty of sunlight, vitamin D deficiency has been reported in both urban and rural population in India. This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency in children between 3-6 years of age group belonging to Mananthavady ICDS block of Wayanad and to identify the sociodemographic variables affecting its level.Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2014 to June 2015. 140 children were selected from 20 Anganawadis in Mananthavady ICDS block in Wayanad district of Kerala state by random methods. After taking relevant history and conducting detailed clinical examinations, blood samples were taken to assess 25(OH) Vitamin D, calcium, phosphorous and alkaline phosphatase levels. Statistical analysis was done using PASW software. Calculations of means were done using descriptive statistics and comparative analysis was done using independent T test.Results: Out of the 140 children 51 belonged to tribal community. The mean 25(OH) Vitamin D level was 22.7ng/ml. 47.1% of the population had deficient, 35% insufficient and 17.9% adequate Vitamin D levels. There was no statistically significant difference in Vitamin D levels between children of tribal and non-tribal community. There was significant increase in Vitamin D levels during summer when compared to that of winter and autumn seasons.Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among the rural children of 3-6-year age of Mananthavadi ICDS block. The Vitamin D levels were almost equal between the tribal and non-tribal children. Vitamin D levels are significantly higher during summer when compared to other seasons.
Prevalence of Ziabetas Shakari (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus) and Dietary Habits among Senior Citizens Attending NIUM Hospital, Bengaluru

Prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing rapidly around the world. The study was designed with the objectives to study the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus among the elderly and to assess the dietary habits among them. This hospital based, cross sectional study was conducted among the elderly aged 60 years and above, including of either sex, newly diagnosed and known cases of type 2 DM attending NIUM hospital, during stipulated period of study. Prevalence of Ziabetas shakari was assessed among varied socio-demography. The Chi Square (χ 2 ) test was used to find association between dietary habits and Ziabetas shakari . Pearson correlation coefficient had used to evaluate the relationship between variables by using 95% confidence level. The prevalence of Ziabetas shakari (type 2 diabetes mellitus) was found 45.6% as a whole. The highest and lowest prevalence of type 2 DM found among 60-65 years and above 75 years, respectively. Prevalence among Males was 30% and Females was 15.6%. More meal quantity exhibited strongly significant relationship with FBS≥126mg/dl, PPBS≥200mg/dl and HbA1c≥6.5 (p=0.000**). Increased 3 times main meal frequency showed strongly significant correlation with FBS≥126mg/dl (p=0.002**) and PPBS≥200mg/dl (p=0.001**). South Indian meal pattern showed strongly significant relationship with PPBS≥200mg/dl (p=0.01**). Results confirmed an increased prevalence of Ziabetas shakari among senior citizens. These results concluded association of dietary habits. Dietary modifications are an integral part of diabetic care and geriatrics. Meal quantity showed significant correlation with FBS, PPBS, and HbA1c. Newly screened cases of type 2 DM showed paramount importance of extension of screening programme in elderly.
Mapping field photographs to textured surface meshes directly on mobile devices

The mapping of photographs to surface geometry is an important procedure for many applications within the geosciences. This paper proposes an interactive framework for feature‐based image‐to‐geometry mapping that works directly on mobile devices, under challenging imaging conditions and with limited available hardware performance. The framework makes use of openly available digital elevation models (DEMs) together with mobile position‐and‐orientation sensor data. It integrates calculation heuristics for result evaluation and feedback, synthesising available knowledge in current registration literature. The approach is assessed on two image datasets captured on separate occasions. Their interpretations are mapped to one textured lidar surface model and the projection accuracy is qualitatively assessed. The experiments show a significant accuracy improvement in photograph registration results, as well as the faithful mapping of image interpretations on the underlying surface geometry. This semi‐automatic, user‐guided, interactive approach is superior to comparable fully automatic registration methods.
Combining high-z galaxy luminosity functions with Bayesian evidence

Galaxy formation during the first billion years of our Universe remains a challenging problem at the forefront of astrophysical cosmology. Although these $z\,\,{\gtrsim}\,\,6$ galaxies are likely responsible for the last major phase change of our Universe, the epoch of reionization (EoR), detailed studies are possible only for relatively rare, bright objects. Characterizing the fainter galaxies which are more representative of the population as a whole is currently done mainly through their non-ionizing UV luminosity function (LF). Observing the faint end of the UV LFs is nevertheless challenging, and current estimates can differ by orders of magnitude. Here we propose a methodology to combine disparate high-z UV LF estimates in a Bayesian framework: Bayesian Data-analysis Averaging (BDA). Using a flexible, physically-motivated galaxy model, we compute the relative evidence of various z = 6 UV LFs within the magnitude range −20 ≤ MUV ≤ −15 which is common to the data sets. Our model, based primarily on power-law scalings of the halo mass function, naturally penalizes systematically jagged points as well as misestimated errors. We then use the relative evidence to weigh the posteriors obtained from disparate LF data sets during the EoR, 6 ≤ z ≤ 10. The resulting LF posteriors suggest that the star formation rate density (SFRD) integrated down to a UV magnitude of -17 represent $60.9^{+11.3}_{-9.6}\%$ / $28.2^{+9.3}_{-10.1}\%$ / $5.7^{+4.5}_{-4.7}\%$ of the total SFRD at redshifts 6 / 10 / 15. The BDA framework we introduce enables galaxy models to leverage multiple, analogous LF estimates when constraining their free parameters.
