A Comparative Study on Lateral Force Resisting System For Seismic Loads

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract From olden days we know that earthquake is disaster causing event, to overcome land crisis in cities it is essential to make earthquake resistant multi storied buildings. Any structure, to be durable and reliable, should be designed to withstand gravity loads, earthquake loads and wind loads, and able to resist all kind of temperatures, also to assimilate vibrations and absorb noises. This brought more challenges for the engineers to cater both gravity loads as well as lateral loads. Construction of multi storied buildings is more complex without using any lateral force resisting system. Provision of lateral force resisting system makes the structure earthquake resistant. The main aim of this study is to analyze the behavior of commonly used lateral force resisting systems. Here lateral force resisting systems like Shear wall, steel bracing System, masonry infill, outrigger are applied to a 20 storey symmetrical RC building, analyzed as per IS 1893 (Part 1):2002 and performances are compared. On comparing the results obtained, shear wall shows the good resistance for earthquake load compared to the other systems which is consider for the analysis.
Genital Chlamydial Infection Association with HIV and Syphilis in Female Patients Attending STD-Clinic in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Genital chlamydial infection runs an asymptomatic course to a major extent leading to various complications due to primary infection and also promotes the susceptibility of host to other sexually transmitted infections. This study aims at thorough analysis of the clinical features associated with genital chlamydial infection in patients attending Sexually Transmitted Infections outpatient department, comparative evaluation of various diagnostic modalities and study on co-infection with HIV and Syphilis. A total of 180 women in the reproductive age group attending Sexually Transmitted Infections outpatient department with various genitourinary symptoms were enrolled in study. The present study was conducted at Rangaraya Medical College and Hospital, Kakinada from February 2011 to March 2012. Detailed analysis and documentation of presenting symptomatology and associated clinical signs was done. Endocervical secretions were subjected to Chlamydia trachomatis antigen detection by Immunochromatography and Giemsa staining technique. Serum was subjected to ELISA, immunochromatography, rapid plasma reagin test for the detection of IgG antibody to Major outer membrane protein of Chlamydia trachomatis, HIV and syphilis, respectively. Genital Chlamydial Infection was found by antigen detection in 8.89% and antibody detection in 14.44% cases. Genital discharge followed by abdominal pain was the predominant symptoms whereas cervicitis and adnexal tenderness were the clinical signs. Co-infection with HIV and syphilis were found to be 18% and 5% respectively. Detection of genital chlamydial infection can be enhanced by screening for both antigen and antibody. Screening of high risk groups as a mass campaign can be done by antigen detection by Immunochromatography. Proper analysis of symptoms and signs can raise suspicion of genital chlamydial infection. Co-infection with other sexually transmitted infections may lead to recurrence and resistance K e y w o r d s
Milk Yield and Composition of Red Sokoto Goats Fed Varying Levels of Baobab (Adansonia digitata) Pulp and Seed Meal

Absract The milk yield and mineral composition of Red Sokoto goats fed varying levels of baobab (Adansonia digitata) pulp and seed meal was investigated over a period of 84 days. Sixteen (16) lactating Red Sokoto goats averaging 19.75 + 1.26 kg body weight were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments with four animals per replicate in a completely randomized design to determine the quantity and quality of milk produced. Treatment 1 was control with no baobab pulp and seed supplement, Treatments 2, 3 and 4 had 10%, 20% and 30% baobab pulp and seed inclusion respectively. The milk yield and mineral composition were significantly affected (P<0.05). Milk yield progressively increased for all treatments to week four where the peak was recorded for the yield with 20% baobab pulp and seed inclusion levels having a clear significant value of 720.20g, followed by 30%, 10% above the control with varying values of 700.75g, 690.80 and 560.33g respectively. The milk yield recorded a decreased values of 475.00g, 455.67, 454.75 and 360.50 for 20%, 10%, 30% and 0% inclusion levels at the end of 12 th week. There were significant difference (P<0.05) in the values of Total solids, Fat and lactose. For milk composition; 30% inclusion level recorded the highest values for Total solids, fat and lactose at figures of 17.38%, 5.78% and 6.64% respectively. The fat content of the milk in the study were at the increasing range of 3.0 %, 4.05%, 4.60% and 5.78% respectively for inclusion levels of 0 – 30% baobab pulp and seed in the experimental diets. Milk produced by the experimental animals on 20% and 30% levels of inclusion recorded the overall best results in term of mineral composition. The results of the study had shown that inclusion of baobab at 20 % in the diet of Red Sokoto goats gave the highest milk yield . Inclusion at 30% level also gave better results in term of mineral composition.
Moore Data Clustering Based Bloom Hash Storage for Dimensionality Reduction of Big Data Analytics

Big data contains massive amounts of information’s that are difficult to manage, acquire, store and analyses. The clustering of data is a demanding issue in the field of big data analytics. The existing techniques developed for clustering does not provide efficient performance and also time complexity of clustering was higher. Further, minimizing dimensionality of big data was not addressed effectively. In order to overcome these limitations, a Moore Data Clustering based Bloom Hash Storage (MDC-BHS) Technique is proposed. The MDC-BHS Technique is designed with aim of reducing the dimensionality of big data with lesser time through clustering. The MDC-BHS Technique used Moore Data Clustering (MDC) Model in order to group the data in big dataset with minimum time consumption. After performing clustering process, the MDC-BHS Technique employed Bloom Hash Storage (BHS) Model in order to store clustered data with minimum space complexity. The BHS Model is a space-efficient probabilistic data structure which utilized hashing function to create hash value for clustered data. Therefore, proposed MDC-BHS Technique significantly reduces the dimensionality of larger dataset. The experimental evaluation of MDC-BHS technique is carried out on weather data with factors such as clustering time and clustering accuracy and space complexity with respect to number of data. The experimental results demonstrate that MDC-BHS Technique is able to improve the clustering accuracy and also minimizes the space complexity when compared to state-of-the-art works

Speech Enhancement in Terms of Intelligibility Using Modified Multiband Spectral Subtraction

: Speech signals from the uncontrolled environments contain required speech components along with the degradation components. The degraded speech gives poor performance in automatic speech processing tasks like speech and speaker recognition and is also uncomfortable for human listening. The degraded speech therefore needs to be processed for the enhancement of speech components. Hence it is much more important to obtain the noise free Speech signal. In this paper; we propose a hybrid approach that combines the concepts of multiband spectral subtraction with amplification & attenuation distortion effect on enhanced speech to remove the real time noise. The noisy signal is divided into four bands using band pass filters & each band is applied to standard spectral subtraction algorithms. The signals coming from these are then compared with original speech spectra and apply the amplification constraints on the signal. Then undistorted enhanced signal is reconstructed by overlap & adding the filtered IFFT of these. The method is applied to Speech signals from NOIZEOUS noisy speech corpus database.
Comparison of different feed restriction methods on growth performance of broilers

In order to investigate the possibility of compensatory growth, three different feed restriction methods (low nutrient density, restricted feed intake and restricted time of feeding) were compared to the control (ad libitum feeding). 400 Ross hybrid strain mail broilers were used in a complete randomized design experiment. The treatments were: T1, was low energy diet (2800 Kcal ME/Kg DM) offered ad libitum, T2, was high energy diet (2900 Kcal ME/Kg DM) of which 15% was restricted, T3, was high energy diet (2900 Kcal ME/Kg DM) that was restricted twice a week and T4 was the control group that received high energy diet (2900 Kcal ME/Kg DM) ad libitum. Results showed that weight gain was significantly high in T2 during starter phase compared to other treatments. Feed intake increased significantly in T2 during starter and finisher phase, thus total feed intake was also higher in the same group. No significant change was observed in feed conversion ratio, carcass characteristics and feed cost during the entire period. It can be concluded that feeding broilers T2 feeding regime had the best results.

Effect of Escherichia coli on Semen Quality of Infertile Human Male

Male genital tract infections are one of the most major causes of infertility worldwide. It is expected that about 15% of male infertility is due to genital tract infections. These infections may contribute to deterioration of various sperm parameters, especially in infertile men. The negative effects of many bacteria on human spermatozoa have been widely reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Escherichia coli on the semen of infertile men and their effect on sperm quality. Sixty seven semen samples of infertile males were investigated by standard bacterial culture methods. WHO guidelines were followed to perform standard semen analysis. We found that E. coli was present in infertile males and there was a relation between E. coli infection and semen quality.
Crop-weed interactions and their management under climate change: A review

Weeds pose as biggest threat to crop production accounting about 43% yield loss globally. Unchecked human activities such as over-expanded use of fossil fuels and deforestation have resulted in climate change which further worsens the present situation by impacting both crop and weed. Predicted alteration in atmospheric CO2, temperature and frequent extreme events (e.g., droughts and floods) owing to climate change will reduce crop yields by affecting plant growth as well as pest pressure (weed, insect pest and pathogens) and their invasiveness, thus threatening global food security. CO2 fertilization due to rising CO2 level will benefit C3 crops, thus reducing the competitive ability of most of troublesome weeds which are C4 plants. However, weeds are predicted to become more competitive over crops owing its wide genetic diversity, colonising ability and enhanced aggressively of C3 weeds consequently making weed management in field situations costlier and more difficult. Change in environmental factors like temperature, atmospheric humidity, elevated CO2 and soil moisture can manipulate efficacy of various weed control measures like mechanical weed control, herbicides and bio-control agents. Extensive research and evaluation of new herbicides, higher chemical concentrations and new bio-control agents will be required for managing weeds under this scenario. Adoption of ecological approaches (crop rotation, intercropping, live mulching, early planting of crops, nutrient management, selection of suitable crop varieties), improved tillage practices, genetic improvement of crops (breeding allelopathic crops cultivars and droughtand stress resistant varieties) may enable to reduce weed problem. Holistic weed management will be the need of the hour for tackling weed menace
Variables Affecting Amputees’ Reaction to the Artificial Limbs in the Kingdom of Jordan

Background: Amputee reaction to artificial limb is an important issue faces amputated individuals and the team who delivers services to these individuals. Although some individuals using artificial limb accept it, some others don’t. There are several factors that may make it difficult to accept the artificial limb for a long time. Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate some variables associate with reaction to prosthesis, the relationship between these variables, and the quality of response to the artificial limb by some amputees who own an artificial limb. Method: Data were collected through self-administered questionnaire developed by the researcher, validated by a group of expertise from the University of Jordan, and then handed to individuals with amputation who visited artificial limb centers in Jordan. Results: There are different levels of relationships between the studied variables (gender, age, site of amputation, level of amputation, and type of prosthesis) and reaction to prosthesis. There is a correlation between age and reaction to the prosthesis (r = 0.44) (p < 0.001) and there is a strong positive relationship between the type of prosthesis and the reaction of the amputee to the prosthesis (r = 0.99) (p < 0.001). A negative relationship is found between, site of amputation, and level of amputation (r = -0.39, -0.01, and -0.30) respectively. Conclusion: There are several factors that affect the reaction to prosthesis. Some variables affect the relationship positively such as tenderness and level of amputation, and some others affect the relation negatively such as age and the location of amputation.

In aquaculture industry, fish meal is considered to be the most important raw material in aquatic feeds, due to high quality and quantity of its protein. The necessity of fish meal has been increasing as the aquaculture industry grows. However, as the rapid growth of aquaculture sector has created a pressure on the sources of fish meal, a decrease in relevant fish populations have been encountered and fish meal price have increased. To date, several raw materials have been therefore investigated in order to replace fish meal in aquafeed and reduce production costs; but yet, not an exact one has been found to completely replace it. Taking into consideration the current situation, any raw material to replace fish meal has been of particular importance. Accordingly, regarding its high protein content and balanced amino acid profile, the veined Rapa whelk meal has been reviewed to replace the fish meal in aquafeeds.

Punica granatum L. is a plant widely used in traditional Algerian medicine to treat digestive, inflammatory and painful diseases. The objective of the present study was to determine the phenolic, flavonoids, anthocyanin, hydrolyzable & condensed tannins, proanthocyanidin contents and to evaluate in vivo the anti-inflammatory activity of the methanolic and aqueous extracts of the peel of Punica granatum fruit. Doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg of methanolic and aqueous extracts were administered orally in carrageenan-induced paw edema in mice, using Diclofenac (50 mg/kg) as a standard drug. Increases in paw diameter were measured for 6 hours at a 1hour interval. After that, the mice were scarified and the inflamed paw tissue was removed and subjected to histopathological study. The results of the methanolic (ME) and aqueous (AE) extracts showed a significant inhibition (*** p <0.001) of the mouse paw edema in a dose-dependent manner after 6 hours of carrageenan injection, compared to the control group. The percentages of edema inhibition of methanolic and aqueous extracts at a dose of 500 mg/kg were 80.72% and 51.94%, respectively, after six hours. These results were confirmed by the histological study, thus showing the presence of a less intense inflammatory infiltrate compared to the control group where the inflammation was more pronounced thus proving that carrageenin did induce an inflammatory reaction. This study revealed that peel extracts of Punica granatum have significant anti-inflammatory activity, which could be explained by the presence of a large amount of phenolic compounds. * Corresponding Author: Nor El Houda Douaouri  nor.douaouri@gmail.com International Journal of Biosciences | IJB | ISSN: 2220-6655 (Print), 2222-5234 (Online) http://www.innspub. net Vol. 12, No. 2, p. 76-90, 2018
