BIOMARKERS OF GLOMERULAR AND TUBULAR DAMAGE IN NON DIABETIC AND NON HYPERTENSIVE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS PATIENTS; A RETROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY

Introduction: Etiology of Rheumatoid arthritis [RA] is place and before management. 'unknown, there is no cure, and management' is achieved by supportive measures. Renal disorders are a frequent cause of death in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. The present study is to identify the biomarkers that suggest renal pathology in non-diabetic and non-hypertensive individuals. Material and Methods: The study was conducted in Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad. 17 RA patients' samples were collected from Dec 2000 – Feb 2001. 2hr timed urine [Ur] samples and blood was drawn simultaneously, the height and weights were measured for calculation of creatinine clearance [CrCl], which is an estimate of glomerular function. Aliquots of urine were used to estimate the urinary N-Acetyl B Glucosaminidase [NAG], and gamma glutamic transaminase [GGT]. Results: Proximal convoluted cell lysis was observed as the duration of the disease exceeds 24 months and also in patients who were aged less than 5 decades.
Thermal insulation of walls and roofs by PCM: modeling and experimental validation

† In hot and tropical countries external walls and roofs receive solar radiation absorbing part of it and transmitting a substantial part to the internal ambient provoking thermal discomfort. In cold climate heat is usually lost to the external ambient and again causing thermal discomfort. In both cases the thermal energy load is increased. For these reasons many studies were dedicated to investigate techniques for improving the thermal performance of walls and roofs. One of the most viable techniques is the use of PCM as thermal insulation filler that increases the thermal inertia of the component at relatively low cost and without substantial increase of weight. The formulation of the problem of the PCM composite wall is based on one dimensional pure conduction model for the PCM and the walls. The numerical solution involves moving grid for the PCM. The computational grid was optimized to eliminate grid size effects. The model was extended to treat the roof problem. The numerical predictions were compared with experimental results and reasonably good agreement was found. Additional numerical and experimental results were presented and discussed.
Arabic Text Classification on Full Word

Text classification aims to extract the useful information from a large data. The documents may contain unnecessary data which may affect the accuracy of the classifier. Data preprocessing phase aims to clean the texts by removing unnecessary information. The main object of this paper is to explain and determine the effectiveness of the data preprocessing on full word in the accuracy of both training model and classifier. This will be done by two approaches: first the observation of data set contain and second the stop word estimation technique. In the experiment, the Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO), Naïve Bayesian (NB) J48 and K-nearest neighbors (KNN) were used to build the training models. By implement the two approaches and measured the accuracy by precision, recall and f-measure, the results showed that the SMO classifier outperforms the three other classifiers as a training model and a classifier.

Calcium Carbonate and Temperature as Tools for Manipulation of Coastal Sediment Acidification: A Laboratory Study

The spread of low-pH sediments (also known as dead muds) has brought about the need for laboratory studies involving acidified sediment. CO2 bubbling is traditionally used to acidify the sediment; however, allowing the native sediment bacteria to do the acidification is a more natural approach. The objective of the current study was to test if the surface sediment could be acidified using the sediment bacteria and determine how long the sediment chemistry stayed stable for. The pH of sediment taken from near Dobbins Island in Beals, ME, was monitored in sediment containers distributed evenly among 20-gallon aquaria containing artificial seawater for 74 days. Half of these aquaria were kept at 6.5°C while the other half were kept at 24°C. Each sediment bed had a depth of 15 cm and had pore water samples taken via syringe at the top, middle and bottom of the sediment column every 2-3 days. Crushed razor clam (Ensis leei) shell was applied to half of these sediment beds on day 33. The results show surface sediment pore water chemistry can be kept at acidified conditions (~6.0 pH/ ~500 µmol kg-1 total alkalinity/ less than 0.04 aragonite saturation state) or ambient collection site conditions (~6.8 pH/ ~4000 µmol kg-1 total alkalinity/ 0.10-0.25 aragonite saturation state) for month-long periods by incubating the sediment in recirculating aquaria or applying crushed E. leei shell respectively. Higher temperatures reduce the incubation time needed to acidify the sediment but shorten the period the surface sediment remains at 6.0 pH for. Before using the method, researchers should run a preliminary experiment with a batch of the sediment they intend to use to insure the sediment acidification intensity and duration meets their needs.
eJBio: Electronic Journal of Biology

The Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpltNPV) gp37 fusion gene was inserted into the transfer vector (pBacPAK9), named pBacPAKSL37fus. The vector was cotransfected BT1-Tn5B1-4 (Hi5) cells with liner Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus(AcNPV) DNA (BacPAK6). The purified, non-occluded body recombinant baculovirus (Ac-PAKSL37fus) was selected by successive 3 cycles of plaque purification. The inserted gp37 fusion gene under the control of polyhedrin gene could high-express gp37fus protein. At 24 hours post infection (hr.p.i), sf-21 cells infected with recombinant virus had a distinctive cytopathic effect compared to cells with wild type (w.t) AcNPV. Through successive 5 generation infections, cytotoxicity of the recombinant virus did not weaken. The result from infected beet armyworm larvae showed that mortality of test group infected with recombinant virus was 26 percent higher than the control group with parent virus at 60 hr p.i. The recombinant baculoviruses were co-embedded in insect with wt parent virus via subcutaneous injection. If again, beet armyworm larvae infected with the NPV isolated from dead insects, mortality of insects was 17% higher than that of the control.
A Review: Methods of Automatic Stomata Detection and Counting Through Microscopic Images of a Leaf

: Stomata are the small pores in leaf epidermis of a plant which are important for the intake of carbon-dioxide and release of oxygen for the growth of plant. Our aim is to discuss methods to design a tool which can automatically detect number of stomata present on an epidermis of a leaf and count them. First method is by using morphological operation and another by using the template matching algorithm. These methods also measure their stomatal and morphological features.
Comparative Study of Various Steganography Techniques

: Due to the high growth in the field of Computer Networks and Internet, there is a need for a secure transfer of information over the network. The data is in a great threat to be hacked by the hackers as it is transferred over the communication channels. Image Steganography is a technique which hides secret information inside an image and conceals the existence of the communication. No one could identify whether any communication is going over the network. In recent years, many steganography techniques have been developed. This paper presents a comparative study on some of the existing steganography techniques. The PSNR value is used to measure the quality of stego images. Larger PSNR value indicates better quality of image or lower distortion.
Review on Cooperative Diversity in Wireless Sensor Networks

We propose here an analytical framework to quan-tify the impact of cooperative diversity on the energy con-sumption and lifetime of sensor networks. It is well accepted that cooperative diversity increases energy efficiency in fading environments. However, previous works have not analyzed, from a theoretical perspective, these benefits in a network setting. This paper presents a theoretical framework to model routing behavior and cooperative relay selection, using this information to predict the lifetime and energy consumption of the network.

A Result Paper on Outsourced Revocation of Encryption Based on Identity in Cloud Computing

: In Cloud computing, user can remotely store and fetch their data based on-demand service, without the burden of local data storage and maintenance. However, the protection of the confidential data processed and developed during the computation is becoming the major security concern. It indicates that every user in the different groups can securely share data with others on untrusted cloud. The dynamic groups are also supported by this scheme. Once we are added in the group by the admin then thereis no need to contact admin every time while sharing file on cloud and while accessing the files. We can easily revoke the user through a novel revocation list without changing or updating the secret keys of other members. The reckoning and size overhead of encryption are constant neither depends on the number of revoked users. We provide a security and privacy-protect access control to all the users, which guarantee any member in different groups can request for accessing any file from other groups, then the receiver of that group will respond to the request sender. The actual information like identities of user can be shown by admin when clash occurs. We provide strong security analysis, and perform extensive simulations to demonstrate the efficiency of our scheme in terms of computation overhead and storage. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services),which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort. Using the cloud computing we can share group resources with different group members or we can say cloud user which is efficient and economical. Unfortunately, due to intermittent changes in membership, sharing data in a multi-owner manner while preserving data and identity privacy from an untrusted cloud is still a challenging issue.
Study of different concentration of sodium alginate as a coating film on the shelf-life of frozen dressed kilka ( Clupeonella cultriventiris )

The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of sodium alginate coating on quality and shelf life of frozen dressed kilka fish. Sodium alginate edible coating was prepared in four different concentrations, including 0.25, 0.75, 1.25, 1.75 %. Then dressed kilka were coated for 1h, packed in polyethylene dishes with cellophane blanket and stored at -18 °C. Percentage of moisture and protein, Peroxide value and total microbial count were performed within 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 months (sample size: 120 packs of 250 g). SPSS Statistical Software, One Way ANOVA test, Turkey test with the 5% significant level (significance level of 5%) have been used as for data analysis. Significant reduction was found in moisture value with increase of Sodiume Alginate concentration during the study (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in protein content (P>0.05). Results showed that there was significant difference between peroxide and total microbial count samples (P<0.05). Use of sodium alginate due to decrease peroxide production and slowing microbial growth speed, can increase shelf life of kilka in storage of freezing up to 4 months. [Nasrin Khanehdan.

To attain this we need to made a relative investigation of the MFCC (Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients) approach with the time space approach for acknowledgment by simulating both these strategies utilizing MATLAB 7.0 and investigating the consistency of acknowledgment utilizing both the procedures.
Group Identity and Unhealthy Food Consumption among College Students: the Theory of Normative Social Behavior

Theresearch suggests that peers on campus are important reference groups for college students’ unhealthy behavior, including unhealthy eating behavior. Guided by the Theory of Normative Social Behavior, the current study examined the role of group identity in the descriptive norms and unhealthy food consumption link. The results suggest that the magnitude of the association between descriptive norms and unhealthy food consumption was greater as group identity with same-sex students on campus became stronger. The findings demonstrate that students were likely to model unhealthy food consumption of same-sex peers on campus.
Band Pass Filter Using U-shaped strips with T-shaped Feed Lines

A band pass filter with tilted ladder shaped patch and U-shaped geometries is proposed in this paper. Feed are connected at the end of open ended stubs. Presented filter is suitable for the application of wireless application in L-band range. A flat passband response can be achieved when it is employed to implement a bandpass filter. The resonator also exhibits attenuation poles close to the edges of the passband, thereby offering sharp rejection in the bandpass filter response. Moreover, since the signal applied at the input port is effectively forced to travel mainly through the transmission line path over the passband frequency, the loss incurred by the coupled lines is minimized. Extensive theoretical analysis of the rectangular ring and design example of the bandpass filter prototypes based on the ring structure is given. The proposed geometry is simulated through ie3d software, and results are purely based on the simulation results. Keywords— U-shaped patch, tilted patch line, pass-band
Mélange of IoT and Ransomware

The use of IoT devices are increasing rapidly. Since it integrates lots of devices, it provides lots of benefits to the users. Large companies also have started using it for coordination between the people and machines. However, Security is a major issue faced by IoT network. Trust is something that is necessary between the devices, which means that the data is transmitted without any tests to the trusted devices. IoT devices have very less security features since upgrades and patches are virtually non-existent. This makes it vulnerable to various attacks like Ransomware. Hackers will simply be able to take control of an IoT device and demand ransom for letting it go. This may get problematic especially in household devices. It is necessary to identify a solution for this this since IoT is still in the budding stage. Hence this work will analyse various available attacks in IoT and provide solutions to combat the ransomware.
Privileged Account Management Approach for Preventing Insider Attacks

Summary The companies gradually increase their safety precautions towards protecting their information systems, but the attackers simultaneously explore many different methods for breaching or bypassing the safety precautions. In this cycle, the attacks to information systems are expected from outside, and the cyber security investments are made in this parallel. As a result of this, the companies are caught unprepared for these conscious or unconscious breaches. In order to achieve their goals in insider attacks, the attackers attempt to seize the privileged accounts, which have much more authorizations on the information systems than the normal accounts. The reason for targeting the privileged account is that these accounts have wide authorizations on the information systems. IT personnel are responsible for realizing and managing the cyber security precautions within the company. In general, the IT personnel do the same mistake by adopting the general approach; they expect the attacks from outsiders and ignore the insider threats. The most important one among these threats is the seizure of privileged accounts, which is used by the IT personnel every day, by the attackers. The measures to be taken for preventing the malicious use of privileged accounts and the approach to be adopted in order to increase awareness of IT personnel are discussed in this paper.

Self-Adaptive Traffic Recommendation System Beijing City as a Case Study

— Due to the widespread use of smart phones, location-based services (LBS) has become important in all aspects of human’s life. LBS offer many advantages to the mobile users to retrieve information about their location. Some LBS services use the smartphone’s location and service provider information to offer directions, targeted recommendations, or other location-specific information to the user. In this paper we proposed a novel location-based method that provides a traffic recommendation based on community contributed and collaborated movement history. Proposed model is designed to perform some computational processes on the data collected from real users and decide which path is better to follow to reach the desired destination from a given source location. Proposed method mine places and paths between places from the raw data and analyse these data to provide a recommendation to reach a specific target location. Proposed method is adaptable for new movement information. We use a dataset for Beijing city as a case study to proof our proposed method.
