PERCEIVED STRESS, COPING STRATEGY AND GENERAL HEALTH: A STUDY ON ACCOUNTING STUDENTS IN MALAYSIA

The current research aims to examine the relationships between perceived stress, coping capability and general health of university students. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS; Cohen et al., 1988), Coping Strategy Indicator (CSI; Amirkhan, 1990)and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ; Goldberg, 1981) were administered to 1785 respondents from tertiary education institutions, aged 18 to 26 years. Analyses of data were performed using Pearson correlation coefficient to identify relationships between perceived stress, coping strategy and general health.Results showed that there were positive relationships between perceived stress, General Health Questionnaire and coping strategy. Specifically students that perceived higher levels of stress would have higher scores of GHQ (lower level of general health state) and higher coping strategy. Lastly, results revealed that there was a negative relationship between coping strategy and GHQ. Specifically, students that have better coping strategy would have better general health state.
Trust and Cluster based Security architecture in MANET for a Collaborative Computing Environment

------------------------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT ---------------------------------------------------- Collaborative computing is the new paradigm of computing in the industry towards saving time and cost. As Information and Communication Technology grows, further digital communication becomes an unavoidable part in a collaborative computing environment and such technologies have become a part of any organization. In this paper, we propose how the collaborative computing for a project environment is carried out with the help of Mobile Ad Hoc Network and security related issues have long been investigated in MANET due to its distinct nature. Moreover traditional security mechanisms are not well suited for MANET because they are centralized, static and they also require huge memory and high computational power and it leads to processing overhead and bandwidth consumption. So in order to overcome such issues, we propose trust in this context to ensure the authentication by the way security can be achieved and selfish nodes can be isolated from the network with less memory and computational capabilities because our proposed algorithm does not involve complex computation. In addition, by making use of trust, clusters can be formed. Hence scalability issues are effectively addressed and we also justify Mobile Ad Hoc Network for project environment over traditional network and discuss its significance.
A Novel Hybrid Model For Tamil Handwritten Character Segmentation

— Segmentation is an important task of any Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system. It separates the image text documents into lines, words and characters. The accuracy of OCR system mainly depends on the segmentation algorithm being used. Despite several successful works in OCR all over the world, development of OCR tools in Indian languages is still an ongoing process. Character segmentation plays an important role in character recognition because incorrectly segmented characters are unlikely to be recognized correctly. This paper proposes a segmentation algorithm for segmenting handwritten Tamil scripts into lines, words and characters using Horizontal and vertical profile. The method was tested with different document unconstrained handwritten Tamil scripts, which pays more challenge and difficulty due to the complexity involved in the script. The proposed algorithm results in an efficient extraction of text lines with words and characters by providing average extraction rate and higher segmentation rate.

IMPLEMENTATION OF FREEZE TCP AND COMPARISON OF RESULT ANALYSIS WITH OTHER TCP VARIANTS

: Generally, in wired networks at transport layer flow control is required ad also monitoring of TCP traffic is done. For these purpose, in majority of the cases, intermediaries are used to enhance the performance. But still it cannot be considered as a fully end-to-end signaling. So to overcome this requirement of other intermediaries we will use Freeze TCP protocol. “Freeze-TCP” mechanism is a true end-to-end scheme and does not require the involvement of any intermediaries (such as base stations) for ﬂow control. Furthermore, this scheme does not require any changes on the “sender side” or intermediate routers. Before implementing TCP over wireless network one must has the knowledge about the TCP working on wireless environment and some TCP variants and their working principles. For this purpose we implemented the TCP for wired link and their variants like TCP SACK, RENO, TAHOE etc. and also the results has been obtained.
Wavelet Thresholding Techniques in Despeckling of Medical Ultrasound Images

Abstract— This paper presents a review of wavelet thresholding techniques for despeckling of medical ultrasound images. An ultrasound image is first transformed into wavelet domain and then the wavelet coefficients are processed by different wavelet thresholding techniques. The denoised image is obtained by taking the inverse wavelet transform of the modified wavelet coefficients. The performance of the techniques reviewed in this paper is evaluated using the image quality assessment parameters such as Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Edge Preservation Index (EPI) and Correlation Coefficient (CoC). The practical implementation of this work is to determine the effective wavelet thresholding technique that compromises between edge preservation and noise suppression.

Effect of Carboplatin and Methotrexate on Lipid Levels in the Plasma Membrane of MCF-7 Cells and their Association with Cell Motility

Aim: We examine in this study the effect of two antitumor drugs metothrexate (MTX) and carboplatin (CPT) on the phospholipid content of plasma membrane of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. MTX is a folate analog that inhibit dihydrofolate reductase. CPT is a platinum-containing Short Communication antineoplastic drug that inter-chelates DNA and inhibits replication. Methods: MCF-7 breast cancer cells were treated with different concentrations of CPT or MTX. Plasma membranes were purified and their protein contents were measured with and without drug treatment. We extracted the lipids from plasma membranes of drug quantitated, and separated by HPLC using a C18 reverse The ability of both drugs to affect cell movement was studied using a motility assay. Results: MTX induced 50% cell death at concentrations ranging from 50 to 100 decrease in viability was seen above this concentration even at 1 mM. CPT induced 50% cell death at 5 M. It also showed a range concentration that gives a 50% cell death after 24 hrs of incubation. Protein levels in plasma membranes of trea plasma membranes decrease insignificantly after drug treatment. No changes in separation pattern of lipid extracted from membranes were seen after CPT treatment compared to control; however, MTX treatment showed to a single change in elution pattern in peak at 4.36 min. Both drugs had little effect on cell motility causing a decrease of 13.3% and 17.4% with CPT and MTX respectively compared to control. Conclusions: Our results show that both drugs did n doubling in the protein concentration in the plasma membranes of MCF These drugs did not lead to a significant decrease in cell motility compared to control.

Parameter Estimation of a PID Controller using Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

: The Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) structure is mainly used to achieve the desired output in case of closed loop control systems in most of the industry applications. In PID controller it is difficult to obtain the proper values of the controlling parameters K p , K i and K d . The paper describes the design of dynamic control system model with PID controller and the values of the controlling parameters K p , K i and K d are computed by using stochastic global search method i.e. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The approach is based on the search for global optimum value for the PID control parameters with the help of cost functions using Integral Control performance criterion like “Integral Absolute Error” (IAE). The optimum solution generally converges to a solution having minimum error which affects the control parameters thereby influencing rise time, maximum overshoot, settling time, gain margin and phase margin of the system. The proposed methods are demonstrated by tuning all the parameters of PID controllers for single input – single output (SISO) system.
Comparison Review of the Effects of Dexamethasone and Ondansetron Intravenous on Preventing Headache after Spinal Sedation of Patients Under a Caesarean Section in the Alavi Hospital 2016-2017

Background and Objective: Headache is one ofthe most common complications of regional anesthesia in the postoperative period due to Dora’s perforation. Considering that has been proven the effect of dexamethasone and ondansetronon reducing the incidence of headache in patients with regional anesthesia. In this study, was compared the effect of these two drugs on the reduction of headache caused by spinal anesthesia. Methods: This study was conducted as a double blind clinical trial. After obtaining permission from the university’s ethics committee and enough explanations for the patients about how to perform the anesthetic technique and obtaining written consent, 150 pregnant women who were candidates for caesarean surgery by regional anesthesia were divided into 3 groups of 50 patients. Group A received placebo, group B 4 mg ondansetron, and group C 8 mg dexamethasone, then in each group was checked headache (up to 48 hours after surgery), nausea and vomiting (during and after surgery) and hypotension and bradycardia (during surgery). Finally, the information was coded and entered into the computer and analyzed by SPSS software version 16. Results: In the placebo group after regional anesthesia, 18% had headache, 20% had nausea and vomiting during surgery, and 10% had postoperative nausea and vomiting, but in the two groups receiving ondansetronand dexamethasone there were no symptoms such as headache, nausea and vomiting, Bradycardia and hypotension. These differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Discussion and Conclusion: The results of this study showed that both dexamethasone and ondansetronhave the same effect on reduction of complications after regional anesthesia, especially headache. Therefore, due to the importance of complications after anesthesia in caesarean section and considering the low risk of regional anesthesia in mothers of the candidate for cesarean section, the adoption of necessary measures to reduce the unwanted side effects of this method can increase the patients’ ability to use this anesthetic method.

Paleoflood Analyses in Southeastern Turkey: Batman Case

In this study, paleoflood analyses were performed in order to determine the frequency of flood and overflow incidents which have caused loss of life and property in Batman in recent years. Batman, founded as Iluh village in Southeastern Turkey, is now a city thanks to developments in oil industry in migration from rural areas within 50 years. The number and frequency of floods are increasing as city center expanded to the river bed. Sediment log wells are opened to determine paleoflood features. Thermoluminescence and radiocarbon analyses are applied to the samples collected from log wells near Iluh riverbed where river fan widens. The sedimentological data revealed that 3 catastrophic flood occurred at present location of the city center. Radiocarbon analyses ( 14 C) dated the first flood 1420±21 years BP, the third was dated back to 220±25 years BP. According to historical data, the period of the second flood between the first and third one dates back to 800 years BP. Thermoluminescence analyses showed a decrease in flood energy from past to present. Other than these analyses, regional scaled geoarchaeological and historical data and studies on the climate changes were compared and the accuracy of the discovered dates was tested.
Different topologies for the FCL are introduced in literatures such as superconducting FCLs (SFCLs), solid-state FCLs, flux-lock-type FCLs, and resonance-type SFCLs. Resonance-type FCLs limit the fault current by using various topologies of series or parallel LC resonant circuits. Series-resonance-t

This paper proposes a parallel-LC-resonance type fault current limiter (FCL) that uses a resistor in series with a capacitor. The proposed Fault current limiter is capable of limiting the fault current magnitude near to the pre-fault magnitude of distribution feeder current by placing the mentioned resistor in the structure of the FCL. In this way, the voltage of the point of common coupling does not experience considerable sag during the fault. In addition, the proposed FCL did not use a superconducting inductor which has high construction cost. Analytical analysis for this structure is presented in detail, and simulation results using power system computer-aided design/electromagnetic transients, including dc software are obtained to validate the effectiveness of this structure. Also, an experimental setup is provided to show the accuracy of the analytic analyses and simulation results.
DETECTION OF POWER GRID SYNCHRONIZATION FAILURE ON SENSING FREQUENCY AND VOLTAGE BEYOND ACCEPTABLE RANGE AND LOAD PROTECTION

1,2,3,4,5 Student, Dept. Of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Pragati Engineering College, Surampalem, AP, India. ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract – This paper presents the design of a system to detect the synchronization failure of any external supply source to the power grid on sensing the abnormalities in frequency and voltage and thereby protecting the load. There are several power generation units connected to the grid such as hydra, thermal, solar etc., to supply power to the load. These generating units need to supply power according to the rules of the grid. These rules involve maintaining a voltage variation within limits and also the frequency. If any deviation from the acceptable limit of the grid, it is mandatory that the same feeder should automatically get disconnected from the grid which by effect is termed as islanding. This prevents in large scale brown out or black out of the grid power. So, it is preferable to have a system which can warn the grid in advance so that alternate arrangements are kept on standby to avoid complete grid failure. This system is based on Arduino Uno microcontroller. The microcontroller monitors the under/over voltage being derived from a set of comparators and a standard Arduino is used to vary the input voltage to test the functioning of the paper. A lamp load (indicating a predictable blackout, brownout) being driven from the microcontroller in case of voltage/frequency going out of acceptable range. GPS and GSM technologies are used to indicate the fault location.
