Choledochal cys: a different disease in Newborn and infants

Choledochal Cysts (CC) is a rare entity with incidence of 1:10,000 1:150,000 live births and 4 times more common in females. CC in childhood frequently categorized into an “infantile” group (patients less than one year old) and “classical pediatric” (CP) group (age more than one year but less than 18). Infantile group differ markedly from classical pediatric group in their clinical presentation and pathological anatomy. Todani et al [1] have characterized the infantile CDCs as follows: (1) Cystic choledochal dilatation, (2) Abdominal mass with jaundice and acholic stools, (3) No symptomatic association with acute pancreatitis and (4) A low amylase level in bile.
Corrosion behavior of weathering steel in tropical atmosphere of Vietnam

Weathering steel (WS) of Corten B type was exposed for three years at three test sites including urban and marine sites. After one year-exposure, WS showed the protective ability better than carbon steel (CS) did. The corrosion loss of WS fitted well power law with high correlations. The characterization of rust layer was studied by using X-ray diffraction, optical microscope and SEM-EDX. Goethite (α-FeOOH), akaganeite (β-FeOOH), lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH), maghemite and magnetite were founded in corrosion product formed on WS for 3, 6, and 12 month-exposure; The structure of rust layer of WS composed of two layers – the inner layer dark-grayish, dense and good adherent to steel substrate; and the outer layer porous and reddish; The morphologies of rust surface showed the sandy and flowery structure typical for lepidocrocite and cotton balls structure typical for goethite; Cr and Cu distributed in the inner layer of rust – at distance of 40-60μm from steel substrate. The resistance of rust layers was evaluated by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement. This proved the predominance of WS over CS in corrosion resistance. The influence of environmental factors on protectiveness of WS was also discussed in this paper.
Management of acquired punctal stenosis in trachomatous patients using single versus double silicone tube insertion (a pilot study)

Objective This study compares the effect of double versus single bicanalicular silicone tube in reducing tear meniscus and degree of tolerance to their presence in patients with punctal stenosis. Materials and methods The interventional case series included 30 eyes of 15 patients with acquired epiphora with bilateral visible stenotic puncti defined by inability to insert a 26-G cannula into the punctum without dilation. Under general anaesthesia, punctal dilation and bicanalicular silicone intubation were performed: one on the right side and two on the left side. Tear meniscus height was evaluated using a slit-lamp scoring system (Z-IV) at 1 week, 1 month, 6 months (when tubes were removed) and 12 months. Patients′ satisfaction was evaluated by another scoring system (from 1 to 5) in addition to punctal shape and complications. Results All patients had trachoma associated with punctal stenosis. Tear meniscus was reduced compared with the preoperative status at every follow-up in both groups, especially at 1 and 6 months in favour of the double intubation group (P < 0.05). No difference was found following tube removal. High patient satisfaction and tolerance were reported while tubes were in place in both groups, with minimal complications. Conclusion Double bicanalicular silicone intubation is as well tolerated as single tubes and could be considered in the management of acquired punctal stenosis, especially in patients with trachoma, mostly because of punctum overstretch with more potential space for tear drainage. Further studies are required to evaluate retaining of the stent to prevent recurrence following tube removal.
Determinants of Entrepreneurship Among Agribusiness Investors In South-East, Nigeria

The determinants of entrepreneurial choice have been widely researched, but the determinants of such in South-east, Nigeria especially in agro-related business has not been fully explored. The study analysed the determinants of entrepreneurship among agribusiness investors in Southeast, Nigeria. A combination of multistage and purposive sampling techniques was adopted in the collection of data from three hundred and sixty (360) agribusiness investors using structured questionnaires. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to realise the objectives of the study. The result shows that majority of agribusiness investors in Southeast Nigeria were mostly males (75.6%) who were within the mean active age of forty-three (43) years and with a mean household size of 7 persons, and earned an average annual income of five hundred and seventy three thousand, seven hundred and seventy nine naira ( N 573,779.00). The result equally revealed that 50% of farm input supply agribusiness ventures were located within the urban while production component of agribusiness were located within the rural (39%) and peri-urban (38%) respectively. The study identified unemployment, profit motive, quest to be financial independent, population of the investment area, experience in self employment, and proximity to market as the major factors that influence individual’s decision to be an entrepreneur. The result equally shows that age, educational status, experience, annual income, household size, household entrepreneurial history, and source of investment capital have positive effect on determinants of entrepreneurship. With the ? 2 values of 1152.480 and the Pseudo R 2 value of 0.055, the included variables in the model, gave a good impression, regarding the model’s goodness of fit at 0.05 (P=0.05) level of significance. Based on the findings of the study, the pursuance of a prudent macroeconomic policy such as the imposition of free duties to local agribusiness producers/processors to ensure that entrepreneurs will produce at incentive level was recommended. Key words: Determinants, entrepreneurship, agribusiness, investors, enterprises
DESTINATION PERSONALITY AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS DESTINATION: AN EXAMPLE FROM TWO SIMILAR TOURIST DESTINATIONS IN TURKEY

No studies have yet compared similar touristic destinations in terms of brand personality perceptions and attitudes towards destination. For this reason, this study aims to compare Safranbolu and Beypazarı, which are similar touristic destinations located in Turkey. Accordingly, destination personality scale (Ekinci and Hosany 2006), as the measure of destination personality perception was used. Data were collected from 209 tourists visiting Safranbolu (n=101) and Beypazarı (n=108). Results show that although destination personality perceptions among tourists visiting Safranbolu and Beypazarı did not differ significantly, attitudes towards destination differed. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed in the conclusion.

Improved delay-range-dependent stability criteria for systems with interval time-varying delay and nonlinear perturbations

In this paper, we consider the problem of robust delay-dependent stability for a class of linear systems with interval time-varying delay and nonlinear perturbations. Less conservative stability criteria is put forward by using Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach. Based on delay-central point approach, introducing some free-weighting matrices and using tighter integral inequality for dealing with the cross-terms that emerge from the time derivative of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, new less conservative stability criteria for the system is formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities . Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CONSTITUENTS FROM THE LEAVES OF KALANCHOE CRENATA AND THEIR EVALUATION FOR ANTIOXIDANT AND ANTIMICROBIAL POTENTIAL

Kalanchoe crenata (Adrews) Haw. is an ornamental plant belonging to the family Crassulaceae is probably native to Africa and drier parts of south-East Asia. Commonly known as “never die” or “Dog’s liver”, this plant is widely used in traditional medicine in the treatment of inflammation, earache, headache, asthma, palpitation, abdominal pain, convulsion and general debility. The present research includes isolation and characterization of chemical constituents and in vitro evaluation of antioxidant potentials by three different assay methods of isolated constituents from leaves of Kalanchoe crenata. Three constituents (α-amyrin, Stearyl alcohol, and β-sitoterol-d-glycoside) were isolated and the structures of these compounds have been established by spectroscopic methods (UV, H-NMR, IR, MS). All these constituents were isolated from this plant for the first time. These chemical constituents showed significant antioxidant and antimicrobial activity in dose dependent manner by different assay methods. The result obtained in the present study indicates that leaves of Kalanchoe crenata could be a potential source of natural antioxidant and antimicrobial. This also justified the traditional use of herb in preventing disease induced by oxidative stress and microorganism.
ADATPM: Analysis and Design of Author’s Trait Processing Module for textual Data

-Trait theory is a major approach to the study of human personality. Personality is the branch of psychology which is concerned with providing a systematic account of the ways by which we can differentiate one-another. Individuals differ from one another in a variety of ways: their anatomical and physiognomic characteristics, their personal appearance, grooming, manner of dress, their social backgrounds, roles and other demographic characteristics, their effect on others or social stimulus value and their temporary states, moods, attitudes and activities at any given moment in time. In this paper we have designed a system that takes text input and returns the author’s trait accordingly. Since human tendencies are largely dependent on environmental and situational consistencies, we have considered five different traits in our identification. These are High Extrovert, Low Extrovert, High Introvert, Low Introvert and Ambivert. Our algorithm refines the author’s text under eight different properties. The text undergoes POS tagger where each word is assigned a tag. After analyzing the tag we generate Feature Vector matrix (FVM), we use this FVM for our analysis as well as for the classification. We have applied our proposed algorithm on different 280 files. These files are also annotated by human. We compare the result got from human annotation and proposed algorithm and we found that the accuracy of our algorithm is 84.26%.
Effects of Extraction Solvents on the Yield and Physicochemical Properties of Mangifera indica L. Seed Oil

The extraction of oil from mango seeds was investigated using a Soxhlet Extractor. Mango seeds were collected, dried and grounded into powder. Hexane and ethanol were used to extract the oil at varying time of extraction of 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 hours, respectively. Result shows that yield is time dependent, as increase in time of extraction results into increase in yieldwhere the least time of 4hrs yielded an average of 4.00 % and 8hrs yielded an average of 13.06 % for hexane. While the use of ethanol at 4hr and 8hrs only yielded 1.99 % and 8.22 %. Thus the use of hexane achieved the maximum yield (13.06 %) of oil extracted. The effects of time and extraction solvent on the yield of oil was investigated by using a 22 factorial design and, result shows that factor ‘A’ which is time, produces the greatest effect (7.665) in the yield of mango than factors ‘B’ (3.335) being solvent and ‘AB’(1.335) being interaction between solvent and time. The effect of the extraction solvent on the physicochemical properties was also investigated where theoil extracted with hexane was found to possess better overall quality than the ethanol extracts, asits acid value, saponification value, ester value, refractive index and specific gravity were 5.61mgKOH/gOil, 207 mgKOH/gOil, 201.39mgKOH/gOil, 1.443 and 0.909, respectively as against 30.30mgKOH/gOil, 205 mgKOH/gOil, 174.70mgKOH/gOil and 0.909, respectively of ethanol. The results didn’t only show that hexane gives a higher yield of oil than ethanol but also revealed that hexane is a much better solvent for the extraction of mango seed oil.
AN IMPROVED DESIGN OF A MULTIPLIER USING REVERSIBLE LOGIC GATES

: Reversible logic gates are very much in demand for the future computing technologies as they are known to produce zero power dissipation under ideal conditions. This paper proposes an improved design of a multiplier using reversible logic gates. Multipliers are very essential for the construction of various computational units of a quantum computer. The quantum cost of a reversible logic circuit can be minimized by reducing the number of reversible logic gates. For this two 4*4 reversible logic gates called a DPG gate and a BVF gate are used.
Securing Distributed Control of Software Defined Networks

Summary This paper shows the method designed to secure and authenticate distributed behavior of the proposed hybrid control model of Software Defined Networks (SDNs) in [1]. Where, the SDN is an emerging topic that tracts attention due to its paradigm, that splits the control plane form data forwarding plane. According to [2], SDN defines OpenFlow [3] as “ key enabler for software-defined networks ”. However, there have been some debates regarding the scalability of the OpenFlow's controller; this is due to the design of OpenFlow as it depends on a centralized controller to control flows. Manny efforts have been put to solve this issue, one of them is the hybrid control model proposed in [1]; where the original centralized model is preserved, while adding a distributed control model for some specific cases, in order to increase the network’s efficiency. And based on the well-established fact, that all computer systems and networks should be secure; in this work, we propose a security method for such distributed control model of SDNs. In which, we aim to secure the flow installation using the distributed control, in addition to enabling safe usage of the distributed control without any chance of malicious use of the distributed control.
FUZZY LOGIC CONTROL DESIGN FOR ELECTRICAL MACHINES

The aim of this paper is to prove that fuzzy logic algorithm is a suitable control technique for fast processes such as electrical machines. This theory has been experimented on different kinds of electrical machines such as stepping motors, dc motors and induction machines (with 6 phases) and the experimental results show that the proposed fuzzy logic algorithm is the most suitable control technique for electrical machines since this algorithm is not time consuming and it is also robust between plant parameters variations
Level of IMA in newly diagnosed untreated hypothyroid subjects diagnosed during routine screening at Tertiary Care Hospital in North India

Introduction: Aim of this study was to assess the level of ischemia modified albumin(IMA) in newly diagnosed untreated hypothyroid subjects. Materials and Methods:Serum IMA assessment was done by Barr et al method 30 newly diagnosed patients of hypothyroidism For the control group 50 normal healthy euthyroid adults were selected. TSH was done by one-step sandwich ELISA, and fT3, fT4 was done by one-step competitive ELISA method. Data were presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Results: Serum IMA was not found to be statistically different between hypothyroid and euthyroid control group. Conclusion:Contrary to the findings of majority of studies done on this subject, our study has not shown any significant elevation of IMA in hypothyroid subjects as compared to euthyroid subjects. IMA level in subjects of hypothyroidism has been a controversial issue since long. Assessment of cIMA should be done in association with other oxidative stress marker, and their correlation if any should be studied in a large cohort. Keywords: IMA, cIMA, Hypothyroid, Oxidative stress.
RADAR IMAGING BY SPARSITY AND COMPRESSED SENSING

Radar imagery is the time frequency plane which was discretized in to an NxN grid, which was a proposed technique of compressed sensing radar.Here we consider the value of k as small, which transmit sufficiently, which is used for the reconstruction of the scene. This novel compressed sensing approach offers great potential for better resolution over classical radar. Recently, the signal processing/ mathematics community has seen a paradigmatic shift in the way information is represented, stored, transmitted and recovered. This area is often referred to as Sparse Representations and Compressed Sensing. Current reconstruction methods include using greedy algorithms such as orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP). we can only consider recovering signals which are less than N-sparse. Indeed, we hope to recover any K-sparse signal s. our stylized compressed sensing radar which under appropriate conditions can “beat” the classical radar uncertainty principle By comparing traditional uncertainty principles with those of compressed sensing, this novel approach reveals great potential for better resolution over classical radar which provides a high resolution map of the spatial distribution of targets and terrain based on a significant reduction in the number of transmitted and/or received electromagnetic waveforms. This new imaging scheme, which requires no new hardware components, allows the aperture to be compressed and presents many important applications and advantages among which include resolving ambiguities, strong resistance to counter measures and interception, and reduced on-board storage constraints.
Serum Angiopoietin-2 and Soluble Thrombomodulin in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and their Relation to Disease Activity and Renal Affection Authors

Background: Several lines of evidence demonstrate excessive endothelial activation in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and soluble thrombomodulin (sTM) are two biomarkers of endothelial cell activation that may be clinically useful in SLE. Objective: to examine the clinical utility of two proposed biomarkers of endothelial activation; angiopoietin-2 and soluble thrombomodulin in SLE correlating their serum concentration with disease activity and renal affection. Subjects and methods: Ang-2 and sTM were measured in sera obtained from 60 patients with SLE (6 male patients and 54 female) and 30 healthy controls by ELISA methodology. Disease activity was calculated according to the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI). Patients were classified according to disease activity and renal involvement. Results: Both Ang-2 and sTM concentrations were increased in patients with SLE in comparison to controls (P<0.001). Both Ang-2 and sTM were significantly higher in the active group and active nephritis subgroup in comparison to inactive group and active patients without nephritis, respectively (P<0.001). Both markers were positively correlated with SLEDAI and protein/ creatinine ratio. Serum www.jmscr. igmpublication.org Impact Factor 1.1147 ISSN (e)-2347-176x
