Cyclodextrin Ternary Inclusion Complexation: A Strategy to Improve Solubility of Poorly Soluble Drugs

Department of Pharmaceutics, College of Clinical Pharmacy, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, P.O. Box 1982, Dammam-31441, Saudi Arabia. ABSTRACT Cyclodextrins (CDs) consist of Dglucopyranoside units that are linked together by glycosidic bonds to form cyclic oligosaccharides. They are mainly employed to ameliorate the physicochemical properties and biological properties of poorly aqueous soluble drugs by the formation of inclusion complexes between the CD and drug. Inclusion complex formation requires the host molecules to fit completely or partially within the CD cavity. The uncomplicated settlement of guest molecules within the CD cavity, therapeutic dose, toxicity and stoichiometry all change according to the physicochemical properties of the guest and host molecules. However, dosage formed volume depends on the amount of CD required. So high amount of CD used leads to high dosage formed volume. Thus, it is necessary to improve the solubilization efficiency in order to use lesser amounts of CD. This could be reached by adding small amounts of water-soluble substances such as polymers, organic acids, amino acids, co-solvents, etc. to the inclusion complex. This review mainly focused on the aspects related to the formation of drugs and CDs’ inclusion complex by using different types of water-soluble substances to optimize the amount of CD used in the complexation in order to improve drug solubility, and decrease the bulk of dosage form.
A Modern Life detection System to Detect Human Being Trapped under Earthquake Rubble

In the past, when victims were trapped under earthquake rubble, there was a little chance that they would found. This was due the fact that rescue techniques such as optical devices, acoustic devices or robotic systems were found limited application for the detection buried victims. If victim was unconscious and was unable to shout for help then the existing rescue system found to be failed. With the help of microwave signals the life signs can be detected as it is able to sense the heart beat and breathing signals of human being trapped under collapse debris. A life detection system based on microwave frequency detects the human body vibration by Doppler shift effect. The life detection system has been implemented with simulated rubble and several humans by illuminating microwave beam on their different body position and it is found that phase shift occurs in the illuminated beam on frontsiide of human body was maximum at chest and minimum at forehead. This phase shift may help rescuer to saves human lives.
An Approach for Syntax Tree Construction using Formal Specification Language

— A Compiler is a language translator which translates high level language to low level language, this is the task of a compiler. Removing the bugs of source program does not assure that the generated target code is completely error free because there may be bugs in compiler also. So it is more important to verify the Compiler itself. Lexical analyzer is a first phase and main part of compiler used for scanning input stream of characters and grouping into tokens. In this paper formal construction of syntax tree is described from the regular expression to verify the lexical analyzer and this is the aim of paper. If the syntax tree will be constructed successfully for the given regular expression then the lexical analyzer will be verifi ed. Formal specifications can be rigorously validated and verified leading to the early detection of specification errors. The widely used formal specification language is VDM(Vienna Development Method), Z notation and B. Here the specification is described using Model oriented formal specification languages Vienna Development Method (VDM) because Vienna Development Method provide support for concurrency control and also using VDM Software requirement specification can be automatically converted into computer source code. Z notation does not support for concurrency control and also software requirement specification can not be automatically converted into computer source code. B method also does not support for concurrency control.
Impact of Life Expectancy on Economics Growth and Health Care Expenditures: A Case of Bangladesh

Life expectancy is one of the major key indicators of population health and economic development of a country. The main objective of this study was to determine the impact of life expectancy on changes of economic growth and health care expenditure. We also examined trend of life expectancy according to the sex difference. We used multiple regression models to estimate the impact of life expectancy on economic growth and health care expenditure. Elasticity of life expectancy on health care expenditure and economic growth is also estimated. Results show greater life expectancy of females compared with the males over the past 15 years. The higher Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita was observed in a longer life expectancy. i.e., one US Dollar (USD) increment in GDP per capita will increase in an average of life expectancy by 33 days. Similarly, increased one unit of per person Health Expenditure Per Capita (HEPC) will increase the life expectancy in an average of 8 days in a year. The higher proportion of total expenditure on health as a percentage of GDP and direct personal expenditure on health by household as a share of private expenditure on health results in also longer life span. We conclude that the increased life expectancy has direct impact on increased per capita real income and higher expenditure on health. This study has some policy implications for Bangladesh, in particular the needs for increased per capita real income and planning for future health and population policies/programs. Therefore, political stability, adequate and suitable social sector policies and government interventions are required to increase life expectancy and economic growth in the country. There is also a need for involvement of health human force in macro and micro policy-makings and critically examine other determinants of health care expenditure.
Effectiveness of Chickpea-Based Ready-to-Use-Supplementary Foods for Management of Moderate Acute Malnutrition in Ethiopia: A Cluster-Randomized Control Trial

Background: Children with moderate acute malnutrition have nutritional requirements that differ from non-malnourished and severely malnourished children. They require increased intake of energy and essential nutrients over and above those required by non-malnourished children and, when necessary, treatment for any associated medical conditions. The study was aimed to evaluate chickpea only (Formula 1) and chickpea-maize-soya (Formula 2) ready-to-use food against two other widely-used supplementary foods: Super Cereal and the improved product, Super Cereal PLUS, for their effectiveness in the supplementary feeding programs. Method: The design of the study was a cluster-randomized controlled effectiveness trial that was conducted in four regions of Ethiopia from 9th June 2014 to 22nd October 2014. According to Disaster Risk Management and Food Security Sector (DRMFSS) Hotspot Priority Report of April 2014, Oromia had 75 hotspot Priority 2 woredas, followed by Somali with 55; Amhara with 26; Tigray with 13 and SNNPR, 5. The study subject was taken from HHs based in hotspot priority 2 woreda. Result: Statistically significant higher overall recovery rate (42%) was observed in children fed Super Cereal PLUS. Children in the lower age group (< 24 months) were more likely to recover than children in the higher age group (> 24 months). Super Cereal PLUS had a statistically significant higher rate of recovery compared to Super Cereal, Formula 1, and Formula 2. There was no significant difference among Super Cereal, Formula 1, and Formula 2 in terms of recovery rate. However, taking into account the result of cost effectiveness along with recovery rates, Formula 2 proved to be the most efficient in treatment of moderate acute malnutrition. Recommendation: Therefore, Formula 2 is recommended for the treatment of MAM in Ethiopia for the pilot study under close follow-up to minimize all the limitations observed in current effectiveness trials study.

Peristaltic Flow Characteristics of Blood through Stenotic Artery under the influence of Magnetic Field and Slip Velocity

The current analysis deals with a theoretical study on combined effect of both slip velocity and magnetic field on unsteady generalized non-Newtonian peristaltic flow with permeable wall of artery. A constant transverse magnetic field is applied on pulsatile blood flow and we are treating blood as an elasticoviscous, electrically conducting and incompressible fluid. Appropriate transformation methods are adopted to solve unsteady non-Newtonian axially symmetric momentum equation in cylindrical polar co-ordinate system with suitably prescribed conditions. To validate the applicability of the proposed analysis, analytical expressions for axial velocity, fluid acceleration, wall shear stress and volumetric flow rate are computed and obtained numerical results are depicted graphically for different values of flow variables of interest, to analyse the influence in axial velocity, wall shear stress and volumetric flow rate of streaming blood.
Clustering and Parallel Empowering Techniques for Hadoop File System

— In the Big Data group, Apache Hadoop and Spark are gaining prominence in handling Big Data and analytics. Similarly MapReduce has been seen as one of the key empowering methodologies for taking care of large-scale query processing. These middleware are traditionally written with sockets and do not deliver best performance on datacenters with modern high performance networks. In this paper we investigate the characterizes of two file systems that support in-memory and heterogeneous storage, and discusses the impacts of these two architectures on the performance and fault tolerance of Hadoop MapReduce and Spark applications. We present a complete methodology for evaluating MapReduce and Spark workloads on top of in-memory file systems and provide insights about the interactions of different system components while running these workloads.
Analytical study on Collaborative Filtering techniques for Location-based Recommendation

— The popularity of location-based social networks provides us with a new platform to understand users’ behavior and preferences based on their location histories. Social networking applications have become very important web services that provide Internet-based platforms for their users to interact with their friends. With the advances in the location-aware hardware and software technologies, location-based social networking applications have been pro-posed to provide services for their users, taking into account both the spatial and social aspects. Location as one of the most important components of user context implies extensive knowledge about an individual’s interests and behavior, thereby providing us with opportunities to better understand users in a social structure according to not only online user behavior but also the user mobility and activities in the physical world. Under many such circumstances, a location recommender system is a valuable but unique application in location-based social networking services, in terms of what a recommendation is and where a recommendation is to be made. Collaborative filtering (CF) technique for recommendation becomes one of the popular recommendation techniques for location recommendation. This analysis presents a comparative study on different collaborative filtering meth-ods like Hypertext Induced Topic Search (HITS) based model, CF with Collaborative Location and Activity Recommendations (CLAR) and candidate selection method used for location recommendation.
Post-natal development of nociceptive transmission : the role of the NMDA receptor complex.

The aim of this thesis is to examine the role of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor complex in the development of spinal nociception within the spinal cord of the rat. In particular the dorsal horn is crucial in the transmission and modulation of nociceptive inputs and undergoes extensive postnatal maturation. In vivo electrophysiological responses to NMDA antagonists or nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors together with in vitro immunohistochemical assessment of postnatal receptor distribution were used to assess alterations in the NMDA receptor. Immunocytochemical staining of the whole spinal cord revealed widespread NRl subunit expression from birth, whilst NR2 subunits underwent most postnatal alteration. NR2B was the predominant subunit at birth and underwent restriction to the adult distribution in lamina TL, whilst the NR2A subunit expression was low at birth and became the predominant subunit in the adult. The DRG revealed widespread expression of all the NMDA subunits from P14. In the dissociated cell culture the NRl positive neurones in the dorsal horn increased from 25-100% with an increase in staining intensity in contrast with the DRG where all the neurones remained NRl positive albeit with a reduction in staining intensity. These alterations in expression of the NMDA receptor subunits could account for the difference in efficacy of spinally applied 2-amino-5 phophonopentoic acid (AP5) an NMDA receptor antagonist on the responses of convergent dorsal horn neurones. AP5 was significantly more potent in pups compared with adults whilst ketamine, which binds equally to all the NR2 subunits displayed no age related alteration in efficacy. The application of 7NI (a specific nNOS inhibitor) and L-NAME (non-specific NOS inhibitor) revealed no age differences in post-synaptic evoked responses, but displayed a significantly greater inhibition of the primary evoked response at postnatal day (P) 14 compared with P21, 28 or adult. The NMDA receptor has been shown to alter its subunit composition and receptor expression on primary afferents and post-synaptic dorsal horn neurones during development. This alteration may explain the developmental differences seen in convergent dorsal horn neurones to NMDA receptor anatagonist. However in contrast the role nNOS / NO pathway in nociception does not seem to be altered during development.
Significant factors for Detecting Redirection Spam

Redirection spam refers to a technique where a genuine search user is befooled and made to pass through a chain of redirections and ultimately presented with a compromised web page that may be an adware or an irrelevant content for the user. As a consequence the search engines earn a bad name in quality information retrieval and moreover the users are too dissatisfied. Also, there is sever wastage of expensive network resources like bandwidth. Detecting these malicious redirections is important for quality information retrieval from web. But detecting such redirections is a very tedious task due to the genuine usage of redirections to provide load balancing and URL shortening features. Also, the conventional methods of spam detection such as blacklists, whitelists are not very successful as they need to be updated every time. Many factors have been discussed in previous work that facilitates redirection. To design a more robust and reliable approach, this paper presents some new factors that facilitate redirection spam detection. We also explored the operational profile of each identified factor along with the criteria for its selection.
The Role of +405 G/C VEGF A Polymorphism in Women with Recurrent Implantation Failure, Endometriosis and Miscarriages after ICSI-ET Cycles

Background: Approximately one of six couples in reproductive age worldwide experience different difficulties in conceiving. In such cases different types of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) could be performed in order to deliver healthy child. Unfortunately large percent of the IVF/ICSI-ET attempts finish without positive pregnancy test or with spontaneous miscarriage. The successful implantation of embryos depends on trophoblast proliferation, migration and invasion in the endometrium. This is mediated by locally produced molecular factors and hormones. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is one of these factors that play pivotal role in human angiogenesis and embryogenesis. Methods: Blood samples were collected from control women with natural conceived successful pregnancy and patients from three groups of reproductive failure: (i) RIF Recurrent/Repeated Implantation Failures; (ii) endometriosis; (iii) RSM Recurrent Spontaneous Miscarriages. Genomic DNA was isolated from blood samples using standard protocol with columns according to manufacturer’s instructions. In order to detect the VEGF +405 G/C allelic state PCR reaction forward by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism assay (PCR-RFLP) by BsmFI restrictase was performed. To confirm the results Real Time PCR genotyping with 5’ exonuclease technology and Sanger capillary sequencing as a gold standard was used. Results: The C allelic frequency was statistically higher in patients group compared to controls (53.6% vs 24%, OR = 3.68, 95% CI, p < 0.002). In addition, we detected statistically significant incidence of the +405 C/C genotypes in women from the patient group than in control group (37% vs 4%, OR = 16.2, 95% CI, p < 0.02 when calculating against GG genotype). Conclusion: The results of the present study revealed association between the VEGF A +405 C/C genotype and the risk of development of endometriosis and spontaneous miscarriages. In the RIF the results did not reveal such correlation. This test could be offered to patients with presented indications and special attention to be paid on their clinical management. The study group should be expanded and include more genetic polymorphisms in association with the mentioned reproductive pathologies.

The fungal species also utilized keratin of ground human hair and chicken feather and hydrolyzed them to reducing sugars and proteins with P. purpurogenum being a better degrader of chicken feather and human hair producing 13.5 and 12.0 U/ml respectively than A. niger.
Real-Time Prediction of Student's Locality towards Information Communication and Mobile Technology: Preliminary Results

: The present paper used supervised machine learning to predict the student’s locality towards Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Mobile Technology (MT) of Indian and Hungarian University. For this, a primary dataset is used with 331 instances and 38 features which are related to the 4 major ICT parameters belongs to the attitude, development and availability, educational benefits and usability of modern ICT resources and mobile technology used in education. To predict the locality, three machine learning classifiers multi-layer perceptron (ANN), K-nearest neighbor (KNN or Idk) and Random Forest (RF) are used with hold out method, Leave One Out and K-Fold cross-validation methods. Further, to enhance the prediction accuracy, RF used CorrelationAttributeEval, ANN used InfoGainAttributeEval and KNN used OneRAttributeEval Feature Selection techniques. The outcome of the study reveals that the Feature Selection algorithm significantly improved the prediction accuracy of each classifier. To compare the accuracies of the extracted dataset, T-test at 0.05 significant level was also used. T-test did not find a significant difference between RF and KNN towards CPU training time and another hand, a significant difference is found between ANN and KNN; ANN and RF classifier. It is also proved that KNN classifier has outperformed others in stabilized accuracy and induced optimum time in locality prediction of students.
