Survey on Ensuring Distributed Accountability for Data Sharing in the Cloud

— Cloud computing is the use of computing of sources that are delivered as a service over a network for example on internet. It enables highly scalable services to be easily utilized over the Internet on an as needed basis. Important characteristic of the cloud services is that users’ data are usually processed remotely in unknown machines that users do not operate. It can become a substantial barrier to the wide taking on cloud services. To address this problem highly decentralized responsibility framework to keep track of the actual usage of the user’s data in the cloud. In this work has automated logging and distributed auditing mechanism. The Cloud Information Accountability framework proposed in this work conducts distributed auditing of relevant access performed by any entity, carried out at any point of time at any cloud service provider. It conations two major elements: logger and log harmonizer. This methodology will also take concern of the JAR file by converting the JAR into obfuscated code which will adds an additional layer of security to the infrastructure. Rather than this here in this work, increase the security of user’s data by provable data control for integrity verification.
EFFECT OF GINGER POWDER (ZINGIBER OFFICINALE) ON SELECTED RUMEN AND BLOOD SERUM CONSTITUENTS IN SHEEP

Introduction Herbs and spices are known to have health benefits such as appetite and digestion stimulants, anti-microbial action, anti-inflammatory action, anti-oxidative action and immunostimulant function on animals when used as feed additives in animal nutrition. For effective use of herbs and spices, they can be added to feed as dried plants or as extracts. Ruminants have been adapted to fill an important ecological niche because of their specially adapted digestive tract that allows them to survive on fibrous feeds(Faniyi et al. 2016).
Soil Fertility Assessment and Mapping of Becheke Sub-Watershed in Haramaya District of East Hararghe Zone of Oromia Region, Ethiopia

Lack of area-specific information on soil fertility is presenting unprecedented challenge to bring about increased and sustainable productivity in Ethiopia in general and the study area in particular. In view of this, a study was conducted at Becheke Sub Watershed in Haramaya District of East Hararghe Zone of Oromia Region, Ethiopia, to study selected physicochemical properties of soils under different land units and map fertility status of soils of the study area. Based on land use type, soil color, altitude, slope gradient and soil management practices, the study area was divided into7 land units (LUs). A total of 21 composite surface soil samples were collected for laboratory analysis. The results revealed that the dominant textural classes are sandy loam and sandy clay loam with the sand fraction dominating the soil separates’ proportion. Bulk density of the soils under different LU varied from 1.32 to1.59 gcm -3 , while the total porosity ranged from 40.00 to 50.12%. The lowest bulk density and the highest total porosity were recorded in the virgin land. The pH values varied between slightly acid and neutral with values of 6.04 to 7.17. The soils are generally low in organic matter with values that ranged between 1.02 to 3.92%. Following the low organic matter content, the total N content of the soils was also dominantly low in which values of 0.06 to 0.18 were recorded. The soils were generally better in their available P content (10.67-24.55 mg/kg). The CEC of the soils under the study area ranged from 24.85 to 42.31 and was medium to very high. The soils were also relatively rich in Ca and Mg, whereas K was low in soils of land unit 2. The exchange complex is dominated by Ca 2+ followed by Mg 2+ . Generally the extractable micro nutrients were found to be medium to high except Cu which was low to medium. The soil fertility map developed for OM, total N, available P, CEC, Ca, Mg, Fe, and Cu clearly indicates areas of the sub-watershed where these attributes optimum and not optimum. In general, the soils under different land units exhibited difference in the measured soil attributes. The physical parameter studied indicate that the soils are good, while chemical fertility parameters such as OM, total N, K, and Cu are limiting in soils of some land units. Therefore the use of integrated soil fertility management strategy with inclusion and combination of manure, compost, crop rotation, biological and physical soil and water conservation and other practices together with chemical fertilizer and improved crop varieties gives the better production and keeps the soil fertility status to a better level. However, soil analysis by itself cannot go further than the identification of soil nutrients status due to intricate nature of soil. Therefore, the nutrient supplying powers of the soil sand demanding levels of the plants need further correlation and calibration works to come up with site-soil-crop specific fertilizer recommendation.

Oral Sustained Delivery of Theophylline Floating Matrix Tablets- Formulation and In-vitro Evaluation

The aim of the study was to develop and physicochemicaly characterize single unit controlled delivery system of Theophylline and was formulated as floating matrix tablet by direct compression method using gas generating agent (sodium bicarbonate) and various viscosity grades of hydrophilic polymers (HPMC K15M, K4M; HPC and Carbapol 934P). Formulation was optimized on the basis of buoyancy and in vitro drug release profile. Also tablets were tested for various tests like hardness, thickness, weight variation, friability, swelling index and erosion index. The tablets swelled and eroded upon contact with release medium (0.1 N HCl) at 37 C. The release rate could efficiently be modified by varying the matrix forming polymer, the use of polymer blends and the addition of water soluble or water insoluble fillers (such as dicalcium phosphate, lactose or mannitol). Fitting the in-vitro drug release data to Korsmeyer equation indicated that diffusion along with erosion could be the mechanism of drug release.

Description of various Scheduling Techniques in Grid Computing Environment

: Grid Computing is selection, sharing of wide range of heterogeneous resources for solving complex computations. Grid provides a parallel programming framework containing dynamic resources. Grid scheduling means allocation of jobs to resources present in infrastructure for faster execution. Grid scheduling algorithms have been a subject of powerful research over the last. However, evaluation and comparative analysis of these algorithms are often hard to perform. This is caused by many issues, like difficulties in acquire access to large scale IT infrastructure and lack of resource management facilities. Therefore, Grid scheduling algorithms have been often tested in simulation environments. This paper describes some existing scheduling algorithms for allocation of resources in grid computing environment.
Performance of Aquaporin-4 Antibody Assays for Diagnostic Distinction of NMO Spectrum Disorders in Thailand

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and NMO spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are more prevalent than multiple sclerosis (MS) in Asian population. Since the detection of aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin (AQP4-IgG) is critical for early diagnosis of NMO and NMOSD, we assessed the performance of the serological methods for AQP4-IgG detection to provide the guidance for selection of suitable assay for diagnosis of NMO-like patients in Thailand, according to the 2015 diagnostic criteria. Patients were classified into MS, NMO and other CNS inflammatory demyelinating disease groups according to standard clinical criteria. Serum samples were tested for AQP4-IgG by tissue-based indirect immunofluorescence assay (TIIF), cell-based indirect immunofluorescence assay (CBA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and the degree of diagnostic agreement among methods were then analyzed. All three methods have similar specificity (100%). The sensitivity of AQP4-IgG detection was higher by CBA (89.2%) and ELISA (81.1%) than by TIIF (48.7%). Although CBA and ELISA appeared to have the almost perfect agreement with high kappa coefficient (κ=0.88), the diagnostic performance of CBA was significantly greatest in differentiating NMO from MS and in defining NMOSD. This study suggests that the AQP4-IgG detection by CBA presents the best performance and may provide clinical usefulness for NMOSD diagnosis in Thailand.
A Novel Method for Determination of Deltamethrin Residues in Aquatic Tox Medium followed by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Method

A simple and sensitive validated GCMS-EI analytical method was developed for the determination of deltamethrin residues in different aquatic tox mediums. The tox mediums were those which provide nutrients and help the growth of different aquatic organisms for their survival and multiplication. The constituent of different mediums includes blended water for fish, M4 Medium for Daphnia magna and OECD TG 201 medium for Alga. The method was validated using in aquatic tox samples spiked with deltamethrin sample at different concentration levels (0.5 and 5.0 mg/L). Average recoveries (using each concentration six replicates) ranged 87-94%, with relative standard deviations less than 2%, calibration solutions concentration in the range 0.5100 mg/L and limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.2 mg/L and 0.5 mg/L respectively. The proposed method can be applied successfully for the determination of deltamethrin residues in different aquatic solutions.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Distribution by the Human Eye Due to Mobile Base Station Antennas in Sri Lanka

The remarkable growth of telecommunication industry resulted in boost in the number of cell-phone user every day. It has resulted in an increased number of base stations all over the world. In Sri Lanka, more base stations are being installed in every part of the country. Because of this, radiations are being increased at a rate which badly affects the human body. There are many adverse health effects reported due to the exposure of electromagnetic radiation. This paper presents the calculated SAR values for the human eye with respect to the measured values of the electric field strength in different cities and compared with the FCC (Federal Communication Commission) guidelines. Calculations were carried out using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. The penetration rate of the incident field into the eye, depending on the frequency bands, is also analysed.
Analyzing Air Quality Data Using Response Surface Methodology

Air pollution is the major problem of concern in today’s scenario which is a result of increasing traffic, industrialization and rapid economic development. Unplanned urban and industrial development and increase in population are the prime factors that had led o air pollution problems. The measurements of wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, and rainfall are important parameters used in the study of air quality monitoring and to further understand the chemical reactions that occur in the atmosphere. Meteorological monitoring is used to predict air pollution events such as inversions and high pollutant concentration days. The objective of this paper is to analyse the air quality data with Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in order to find the influence of meteorological parameters on the air pollution concentration. Air quality data was collected from 25 stations in and around Coimbatore city. Analysis has been done to establish the effect of the meteorological parameters with the concentration of air pollutants. The high-volume sampler was used for sampling and monitoring. © 2012 Universal Research Publications. All rights reserved
RELIABLE ERROR DETECTION ON A DATA PACKET BY ADAPTIVE ALGORITHM

— In this paper, we present a new network-on-chip (NoC) that handles accurate localizations of the faulty parts of the NoC. The proposed NoC is based on new error detection mechanisms suitable for dynamic NoCs, where the number and position of processor elements or faulty blocks vary during runtime. Indeed, we propose online detection of data packet and adaptive routing algorithm errors. Both presented mechanismsare able to distinguish permanent and transient errors and localize accurately the position of the faulty blocks (data bus, input port, output port) in the NoC routers, while preservingthe throughput, the network load, and the data packet latency. We provide localization capacity analysis of the presented mechanisms,NoC performance evaluations, and field-programmable gate array synthesis.
Cigarette smoke exposure causes constriction of rat lung explant airways

Cigarette smoke exposure causes constriction of rat lung explant airways. JL. Wright, J-P. Sun, A. Churg. # ERS Journals Ltd 1999. ABSTRACT: Cigarette smoke is known to cause acute increases in airway resistance, but the mechanisms behind this effect are unknown. Lung explants were utilized to examine the constrictive effects of acute cigarette smoke exposure on bronchioles from rats in vitro that had or had not been previously exposed to cigarette smoke in vivo. It was found that smoke induced a small but consistent degree of contraction of the airways in vitro, which could be reduced by an endothelin receptor antagonist in the animals which had had no previous smoke exposure in vivo, and reduced by the oxidant scavengers superoxide dismutase or catalase in the animals with previous smoke exposure. In conclusion, cigarette smoke induces acute small airways constriction through both endothelin release and direct oxidant effects; which mechanisms are operative depends on the prior smoking status.

Isolation and Identification of bacteria associated with spoilage of sweet potatoes during post harvest storage

Post harvest spoilage of sweet potatoes is a major problem in Western Nigeria; this has resulted in losses of the vegetable crop over the years. The present study focused on characterization and identification of bacteria associated with the crop during post harvest storage, using phenotypic and molecular methods. Confirmation of full identities of the bacteria was done using 16S rDNA sequencing. Among the thirty two bacteria identified during post harvest storage, two strains Staphyloccocus sciuri (TSADCA1) and Rahnella sp. (TSADCA2) showed pronounced physical symptoms of spoilage of the sweet potatoes. Enzyme study indicated that these two strains produced carbohydrate degrading enzymes, particularly polygalacturonase, cellulose and xylanase which may have contributed to spoilage of the vegetable crop during storage. The study concluded that the two strains of spoilage bacteria should be taken into serious consideration during any proposed preservation methods of post harvest storage of sweet potatoes, especially in the Western part of Nigeria where the crop is mostly cultivated. This is the first report on the isolation and identification of these two strains of bacteria as being associated with spoilage of sweet potatoes, and they are therefore novel spoilage bacteria of the vegetable crop. © 2013 Universal Research Publications.

FREQUENCY AND ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE PATTERNS OF BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM ASPIRATION SPECIMENS OF PATIENTS WITH HIP AND KNEE INFECTIONS AT A HOSPITAL IN BAGHDAD

The present study was carried out to determine the frequency of bacteria responsible for hip and knee infections at a hospital in Baghdad/Iraq and to get an updated knowledge about their antibiotic resistance pattern during a period of study which extended from 1 October, 2016 till 1 October, 2017. Identification of bacteria at species level was done by using Analytic Profile Index (API) system (Bio-Merieux, France). The antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed according to Kirby-Bauer (disk diffusion) technique. The frequency of positive aspiration of hip and knee joint infections cultures was 25(65.79%) cases out of 38 hip and knee joint aspiration. Out of 25 positive aspirations of hip and knee joint infections cultures, 3(12%) cultures gave mix growth of bacteria. Frequency of positive hip and knee joint infections cultures was higher in male than female patients, 19(76%) vs. 6(24%) (P-value ≤ 0.05). Out of 28 isolated bacteria, Gram positive was the most frequently isolated bacteria in hip and knee joint infection cultures, 22(78.6%) vs. 6(21.4%) (P-value < 0.05). Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most frequently isolated 13(46.5%) isolates followed by Staphylococcus aureus isolates 7(25%). On other hand Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most frequently isolated Gram negative bacteria 3(10.7 %%) in hip and knee joint infection cultures. The most effective antibiotic on Gram-positive isolates was Vancomycin which showed 95.5%. In Gram negative bacteria the most effective antibiotics were Imipenem (100%) followed by Amikacin which showed sensitivity rate 83.33.
Self Learning Based Optimal Resource Provisioning For Map Reduce Tasks with the Evaluation of Cost Functions

: Due to the massive improvement in the usage of data’s in the real world, it becomes more burdens to handle and process it effectively. The Map reduce is the one of the more developed technology which is used to handle and process the big data/largest tasks. Map reduce is used to partition the task into sub partitions and map those partitions into the machines for processing. This process need to be done by the considering the minimization of cost and meeting deadline to improve the user satisfaction. In the previous work, CRESP approach is used which focus on allocating the map reduces tasks in the machine with the consideration of reduction of cost and deadline. However this method does not concentrate on the skew and stragglers problem which can occur while handling the largest task. In our work, we try improve the performance of resource allocation strategy by considering the skews and stragglers problem in mind. This problem of skews and stragglers are handled by introducing the partitioning mechanism. The partitioning mechanism will improve the failure of task allocation strategy.

JCPS Volume 10 Issue 1 142 January March 2017 Validity of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in characterizing adnexal masses: a prospective study Kassim A.H. Taj-Aldean* Dept. of Surgery, College of Medicine, Babylon University, Hilla, Iraq *Corresponding author: E-Mail: kassim33amir@yahoo.com ABSTRACT The aim of this was to determine whether Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images and enhancement features could help accurately in distinguishing benign from malignant adnexal masses. 84 women with clinically suspected adnexal masses were prospectively studied. MRI was carried out using T1, T2, and fat-suppressed before and after intravenous injection of contrast (gadolinium). The adnexal lesions were examined for several features including size, shape, character, signal intensity, and enhancement. All MR imaging features were categorized as benign or malignant without knowledge of clinical details, according to the imaging features which were compared with the surgical and pathological findings. Results revealed that out of 80 patients confirmed with surgery and histological evaluation, 64 (80%) of them were benign and 16 (20%) patients had malignant masses. The most common site of the adnexal masses in both malignant and benign were on the right site of the ovaries. The overall sensitivity of MRI for the diagnosis of malignancy was 93.75% and accuracy was 95%. Results of comparison between MRI imaging and histopathology found that 78 of the 80adnexal masses were identified as tumor lesions by MRI; of which 63 were benign and 15 were malignant lesion. MRI is sensitive for differentiation benign and malignant adnexal masses.
