Polyethylene Glycol-Based Solid Dispersions to Enhance Eprosartan Mesylate Dissolution and Bioavailability

Cardiovascular diseases are the cause of most mortalities worldwide with a staggering 17 million deaths per year [1]. One of these lifelong cardiovascular diseases is hypertension. Hypertension has a silent mode of progression which results in only one out of four hypertensive people to seek medical care [1]. Hypertension can be controlled by different therapeutic strategies using one or combination of drugs that acts like beta blocker, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or Angiotensin II receptors antagonists [2]. Eprosartan mesylate (ESM) is a potent antihypertension drug marketed as oral tablets (Teventen®). It acts by antagonising the Angiotensin II receptors, resulting in peripheral blood vessels wideness and blood pressure reduction [3]. The drug decreases sympathetic norepinephrine production which also results in blood pressure reduction as well [4]. The drug is not only well-tolerated but it also presents effective benefit in the secondary prevention of cerebrovascular events. ESM has a low potential for serious adverse events and has not been associated with any clinically significant drug interactions. All of these demonstrate ESM as a promising agent for solo or combination antihypertensive strategies [5]. The recommended daily starting and maintenance dose of ESM when used as monotherapy is 735.8 mg, equivalent to 600 mg Eprosartan, available as the commercial Teveten® 600 ISSN: 2641-2020 DOI: 10.33552/APPR.2019. 02.000537
Development and Ergonomic Evaluation of a Coconut Palm Climbing Device

Harvesting of coconut is very difficult and tedious work due to non-branched structure of the coconut palm. Only skilled persons can do this work. In Gujarat coconut palm growers are completely depend on the trained climbers who climb up unsafely without using any equipment. To resolve this, a sitting type coconut palm climbing device was developed at Department of Farm Machinery and Power Engineering, College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. It has two units such as the upper unit that provides seating facility to the operator and the lower unit that is actuated by legs. The device was designed as per the anthropometric dimensions of the climbers of Saurashtra region. The main components of the device were approach section, junction, seat support pipe, base pipe, seat, telescopic pipe, metal rope, and gripping face plate. Total weight of the device was 4.5 kg. The device was able to sustain the external load up to 160kg. For field testing and ergonomic evaluation, independent variables such as operator (O1, O2, and O3) and height of coconut palm (7,9 and 11 m) were selected. Operator O3 with developed device achieved the highest ascending speed (26.60 cm /s) and descending speed (27.16 cm /s). The highest climbing capacity with developed device was found to be 13palm/h with operator O3. Increase in heart rate (21.82%) and body temperature (1.03%) were found lowest with the combination of operator O3 at 7 m height of coconut palm.
QUANTITATIVE ESTIMATION OF SATVA EXTRACT ED FROM DIFFERENT STEM SIZES OF GUDUCHI ( TINOSPORA CORDIFOLIA (WILLD.) MIERS )

Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers k nown as Guduchi in S anskrit is an important drug of Ayurvedic system of medicine since ancient times. The plant is useful in wide range of di seases like Jwara (fever), Kam a la (jaundice), Prameha (diabetes) etc. Guduchi Satva , the starchy material of the stem is well - known single drug formulation of Guduchi and is the potent one. S pecies of the plant , size of the stem, collection time, maturity or immaturity of plant may affect the percentage of G uduchi Satva . Keeping these points in view , an attempt has been made to estimate quantitative variation in Guduchi Satva by using three different size s of the stem . T he results of this study revealed the yield of Guduchi Satva was more in medium size of the stem (1. 6 - 2 . 0 cm) than thin size (1. 0 1. 5 cm) and thick size (2.1 - 2. 5 cm ). These findings c an be considered in further Pharmaceutical validation of Guduchi Satva
Comparison Between Selection and Switching Diversity

In this paper, the performance of selection diversity and switched diversity is studied . The comparison between selection diversity and switched diversity take place. Instead of relying on feedback from all the users in a multiuser communication system to identify the best user on a time-slot basis, the proposed multiuser access schemes are performed in a sequential manner, looking not for the best user but for an acceptable user. A user qualifies as an acceptable user and is selected by the base station when the reported channel quality is above a predefined switching threshold. In addition, it is argued that the proposed multiuser access schemes can be quite attractive also from a fairness perspective. In case of selection diversity authors consider schedulers with affordable-rate transmission and adaptive transmission based on the absolute signal-to-noise ratio and the normalized SNR. The conventional multiuser switched diversity scheduling scheme uses a single feedback threshold for every user.
EFFICIENT TECHNIQUES FOR PRESERVING MICRODATA USING SLICING

—Privacy preserving publishing is the kind of techniques to apply privacy to collected vast amount of data. One of the recent problem prevailing is in the field of data publication. The data often consist of personally identifiable information so releasing such data consists of privacy problem. Several anonymization techniques such as generalization and bucketization have been designed for privacy preserving and microdata publishing. But the problem is that generalization loses considerable amount of information and bucketization does not prevent membership disclosure. So we proposed a novel technique called slicing, which partitions the data both vertically and horizontally. An efficient algorithm is also developed for performing slicing that obeys l-diversity requirement. An advantage of slicing is that it can handle high dimensional data. Our experiment confirms that slicing preserves better utility than generalization and is more effective than bucketization in workloads involving the sensitive attributes.
Content Aware Retargeting of Stego Images

Images play a vital role in steganography, as cover media to hide secret messages. Retargeting becomes mandatory while transmitting image in a heterogeneous network because sender and recipient may not have display devices of same resolution. Resizing images by scaling or cropping also lead to loss of visually important features. In steganography, resizing, compressing, and changing the color or format of stego images would result in loss of hidden information. In this paper we attempt to retarget stego images in a content preserving manner using a modified seam carving technique called PSC. Content in this context refers to the visually salient features in the cover image as well as the secret message hidden within it. The cover image is first subjected to PSC to extract as many seams leaving the segments containing ROIs intact. Based on the size of secret message segment(s) containing the ROIs are selected to encode the secret message and is transmitted to the receiver. The seams are also encoded separately in the reverse order of their extraction, so that on the receiver end the receiver would download all the image segments containing the ROIs and as many seams as required to constitute an image that fits into the target device. The retargeted image contains the secret message intact which could be decoded by the receiver.

Automatic Saline Level Monitoring System Using Microcontroller

This paper proposes an automatic, low cost saline level measurement system using microcontroller ATMEGA 328.The main building blocks of the proposed system are microcontroller ATMEGA 328, Bluetooth module and IR sensors. The system contains two LEDs. The status of the saline can be given in two forms that are normal status and warning status. When the saline level is normal, then green LED blinks and when the saline level is below the critical value then red LED will blink. When red LED blinks then buzzer starts ringing and nurse will get notification through mobile with the help of Bluetooth module. At present, there is no such valid system for saline level monitoring. Proposed system reduces efforts of nurses and it is very cost effective as the same circuit which is used for the saline bottle can be reused for another bottle. It can also be easily implemented in rural hospitals. KeywordsATMEGA328, Bluetooth module, IR Sensors, Saline bottle.
Finite Element Investigation of the Effects of the Cup Orientation on Implant Load-bearing in Total Hip Resurfacing

Metal-On-Metal hip resurfacing technique is becoming widely accepted as a viable alternative to other forms of total hip replacements. The technique has many proven benefits in terms of ease of the surgical operation, operation outcome and subsequent revisions. However, recent reports suggest that there is an effect caused by the different femoral implant and acetabular cup relative orientations on the release of debris into the blood stream. These reports suggest that an “optimum” orientation needs to be sought. The search for an “optimum” position to reduce wear of the metallic components has been explored clinically and experimentally, however, there are no reports to explain the mechanical mechanisms behind an “optimum” position or lack thereof. In this paper, a finite element analysis (FEA) was conducted to investigate the effect of the acetabular cup orientation on the implant behavior under weight-bearing load. The FEA model incorporates all the components of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing implant along with the bone tissue. A wide range of anteversion and inclination angles were investigated and the effect of these orientations on the contact and von Mises stresses in the implant for a one-legged stance position was studied. The results of this study suggest that, in the onelegged stance loading configuration, the optimum ranges for inclination and anteversion angles associated with the least contact stresses between the femoral component and cup of the implant are 50 to150 and 400 to 450 respectively. These findings agree with the reported clinical and experimental results and add insight on the mechanical drivers behind the optimum orientation.
MINMIZE THE ENERGY-CONSUMPTION IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS USING THE SYNTHESIZED ADAPTIVE ROUTING PROTOCOL (SAR)

—Energy-efficient mechanism for wireless communication on each sensor node is so crucial. Specially, the jobs sending and processing sensing data information from on sensor node to the others are more majority parts than merely sensing some events. Energy-constrained sensor networks periodically place nodes to sleep in order to extend the network’s lifetime. Denying sleep effectively attacks and traditional routing protocol mechanisms each sensor node's critical energy resources and rapidly drains the network’s lifetime. Thus, energy-efficient routing protocol in wireless sensor networks is necessary for increasing the network lifetime and is also influenced by many challenging factors in terms of energy, processing, and storage capacities. In this paper, we designed and implemented a Synthesized Adaptive Routing (SAR) protocol for wireless sensor networks and evaluated the performance of SAR by comparing with existing routing protocols. Finally, the performance evaluation results show that SAR provides the facilities to reduce energy consumption along with increasing networks lifetime.
Fuzzy Rule Based Color Space

— Color prediction is still a critical issue in computer vision and image processing. It is necessary to ensure that the perceived color of object remains constant under varying illumination conditions. Novelty of this paper lies in introduction of new color space called linguistic color space designed using fuzzy system for better color constancy. In addition, mapping from RGB to linguistic space retains the precision and accuracy. While evaluating the algorithm, it is clear that the color components are preserved effectively and accurately with the help of combination of different types of membership functions. Inference rules with membership functions results intuitive and efficient color space.

-Energy of Consciousness Healing Treatment to Modulate the Immunomodulatory Effect of Herbomineral Formulation in Male Sprague Dawley Rats

Herbomineral formulations are used world-wide for various therapeutic purposes. More than 80% of the world population relies on natural herbal and mineral remedies as medicines for their health care. A new proprietary herbomineral formulation was created, consisting of the herbal root extract ashwagandha and minerals (zinc, magnesium, and selenium). The aim of the study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory potential of the Trivedi Effect ® Energy of Consciousness Healing Treatment (Biofield Energy Healing Treatment) on the herbomineral formulation in male Sprague Dawley rats. The test formulation was divided into two parts. One part was denoted as the control without any Biofield Energy Treatment, while the other part was defined as the Biofield Energy Treated sample, which received the Biofield Energy Healing Treatment remotely from eighteen renowned Biofield Energy Healers. The immunomodulatory effect of the Biofield Energy Treated and the untreated test formulations were studied to determine any alterations in the animal humoral immune response, paw volume, hematological study, serum biochemistry parameters, animal weight parameters, feed intake and histopathology analysis. Humoral immune response data of the reference standard (levamisole) showed a significant increase in secondary antibody titre value (p≤0.05), while the Biofield Treated test formulation group (G3) exhibited a significant increase in the secondary antibody titre by 115.34% compared with the disease control group (G2). A delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction showed that the paw volume was significantly decreased by 114.28% in the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation group (G3) with respect to the G2 group. The platelets count was increased by 61.55% in the Biofield Treated test formulation group (G3) compared to the G2 group. Moreover, the administration of the Biofield Treated herbomineral formulation (G3) group exhibited a decrease in the level of creatinine (9.62%), and uric acid (14.40%), while the level of potassium ion concentration was incresaed by 77.43% compared to the G2 group. Further, the change in body weight, feed consumption, organ to body weight ratio data, and histopathology examination did not suggest any statistical difference, which depicts that the Biofield American Journal of Biomedical and Life Sciences 2017; 5(6): 144-153 145 Energy Treated test formulation was found to be safe. Overall, The Trivedi Effect ® Energy of Consciousness Healing Treatment (Biofield Energy Healing Treatment) significantly modulates the immunological parameters of the herbomineral formulation compared with the untreated test formulation. These data suggest that the Biofield Treated test formulation can be used for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases along with stress management and anti-aging by improving overall health.
Physical nature of Lycopersicon esculentum/aluminum interactions in the presence of acidic media

Corrosion inhibition of aluminum in 2M HNO3 and 2M HCl using Lycopersicon esculentum (LE) extract was studied by adopting the gravimetric (weight loss) method at temperatures of 40 C and 60 C. The results indicated that inhibition of Lycopersicon esculentum was more efficient in 2M HNO3 medium. Temperature studies revealed that the inhibition efficiency increased with inhibitors concentration but decreased at higher temperature. The inhibition process was spontaneous and the inhibition efficiency of the preferred medium (2M HNO3) followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm model indicating a physical adsorption. The study has shown that the corrosion of aluminum in the presence of acidic media can be inhibited in the presence Lycopersicon esculentum extract.

Detection and classification of combined real time power quality disturbance signals with Hidden Markov Models incorporating wavelet features

In this paper, Maximum Overlapping Discrete Wavelet Transform (MODWT) has been implemented along with the traditional discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) for the detection and localization of different types of power quality (PQ) disturbance signals. Selected features have been extracted from the detail coefficient of the variants of WT and then fed as inputs to the classifiers in order to characterize the signals. Moreover, a comparative assessment of the PQ signal carried out with different classifiers such as Multilayer perceptron (MLP) and Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). Moreover, in order to represent in realistic environment, these proposed techniques are tested with signals captured from transmission line panels. Further, to aid this PQ disturbance detection, different types of real time fault signals are also characterized with these aforementioned approaches.
PREDICTION OF RESIDUAL CHLORINE IN A WATER TREATMENT PLANT USING GENERALIZED REGRESSION NEURAL NETWORK

Generally, in India in water treatment plant (WTP) chlorine dose is decided by plant operators based on their experience, which may result in under-chlorination or over-chlorination. Thus, there is a need to develop predictive models for residual chlorine in a WTP. This research work focuses on applying artificial neural network (ANN) approach to predict residual chlorine in a WTP. Weekly water quality data spanning 4 years was obtained from plant laboratory for modeling with ANN. Thirty-two ANN models were developed to predict residual chlorine with four combinations of input variables. The ANN models for prediction of residual chlorine were established by several steps of training and testing using feed forward neural network, cascade feed forward neural network, pattern recognition neural network, radial basis neural network and generalized regression neural network. The ANN models were evaluated with error statistics viz coefficient of determination (R 2 ), mean square error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and standard statistics viz mean( ), standard deviation (σ), skewness (ɣ1) and kurtosis (ɣ2). Performance of the ANN models increased with the increasing number of input variables such as turbidity, pH and chlorine dose. The best performing model was found to be GRNN with MSE = 0.001 mg/lit, MAE = 0.019 mg/lit and R 2 = 0.979. Thus, ANN provides a valuable performance assessment tool for plant operators and decision makers to predict residual chlorine.
Semantically Incorrect? An Overview of some Akan Constructions

Charles Ofosu Marfo Department of Modern Languages, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi cmarfo@gmail.com ABSTRACT The use of particular constructions in Akan may be regarded as semantically incorrect through Feature Theory (e.g. Kaplan & Bresnan (1982)) and (semantic) feature analysis (e.g. Dalrymple et al. (1995), (Aitchison 2002)); i.e. they fail to conform to some semantic restrictions. We observe that, normally, this incorrectness is due to clash of features. In this paper, we identify some of such constructions in Akan, descriptively analyze them in terms of feature analysis, and proceed to provide the correct forms per proper feature description. Drawing clues from aspects of ethnography of communication theory (e.g. Gumperz (1972), Saville-Troike (2003)), however, we also strive to argue for the fact that these semantically incorrect or questionable constructions are accepted by the speakers of the language and that a semantic-defined yardstick cannot always solely be the determining factor of what is appropriate or not.
