WHY SOCIOLOGY IS SILENT CONCERNING BORDERS

Border in sociological sense means a barrier that separates social groups, strata, their values, and the difference between ways of life between particular social groups. Such groups may be separated by many dividing lines, or borders: social/living conditions, opportunities/prospects, legal rights/customs, viewpoints, and so on. Sometimes mobility does not permit other than individual, or small-group, crossing of these borders. It seems really strange why border topic is almost completely absent from the sociology. It is so pertinent to the fate and shaping of various social groups, depending from the location of the border. We think of a boundary whenever we think of an entity demarcated from its surroundings. Events, too, have boundaries – temporal ones: their beginning, climax, final. All our lives are bounded in the continuum between our births and our deaths. A philosopher would imply also that even imaginary, abstract entities, such as concepts or layouts, have
LDPC Architecture for Improved BER in Wireless Networks

To achieve high throughput in wireless networks a partial parallel LDPC decoder is proposed in this paper. For fully-parallel decoders, it suffers from large hardware complexity caused by a large set of processing units and complex interconnections. In wireless networks coding complexity and routing congestion can be reduced by designing the decoder with partially-parallel architecture. The partially-parallel architecture with Split Row algorithm reduces the total global wire length by about 26% without any hardware overhead and increasing the throughput by 60% and 71% in wireless networks

In this paper introduced a Featured ternary tree based approach to extract the data from the web pages that share a common pattern, based on this tree generate the regular expression and later it can be used to extract the data from the similar web documents.
Enhancing Performance of Iris Authentication Using Low Resolution Iris Image by Clahe and Canny Operators

— Biometric technologies are considered more secure with respect to other authentication techniques based on passwords and ID cards. Most reliable biometric technology in terms of identification and verification is based on iris. Iris recognition nevertheless is computationally very costly and refined system. Feature extraction is a significant task in the overall processing of iris authentication system. Almost distinguishing information present in an iris must be extorted to provide accurate authentication of people. A feature extraction procedure is considered valuable if it decreases the size of the feature template and computational speed as well as provides high accuracy. Now my objective is to study gradient based edge detectors-Roberts , Sobel and Prewitt operators and then enhance feature extraction process by clahe contrast stretching and canny edge detector & at the end Comparison of existing edge detectors with proposed technique i.e. Conversion of iris image into a constant dimension by normalization. So that two photographs of same iris will have same features.

Proficient Multipath Routing and Hole Handling using Cascading Movement algorithm in WSN

- Sensing technology is a cornerstone for many industrial applications. Manufacturing plants and engineering facilities, such as shipboard engine rooms, require sensors to ensure product quality and efficient and safe operation. Due to its scalability and efficiency, multipath routing has gained much research attention in routing primitive in wireless sensor networks (WSN). However, in multipath routing, due to ad hoc or random deployments and network dynamics of WSN, communication holes may exist in a network area. For long life efficient network need some recovery strategies for avoiding holes and smooth transmission of data. This paper explores the recovery strategy for an urgent transmission, forwarded packets through alternative path does exist in the multipath routing. For enduring shortest transmission, this paper proposed to reuse the same primary path, by replacing the holes using the redundant sensors.
A Randomized Double-blind Control Study Comparing the Efficacy of Palonosetron Versus a Combination of Dexamethasone with Palonosetron in Preventing Post-operative Nausea and Vomiting in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Introduction: Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is distressing symptoms occurring after anesthesia and surgery with incidence of about 20–30% during the first 24 post-operative hours. In patient undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), the incidence is as high as 63–72%. Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of “palonosetron” versus a combination of “dexamethasone and palonosetron” in preventing PONV in patients undergoing LC. Materials and Methods: A total of 84 patients were randomized into two groups. Group I received palonosetron (0.075 mg) and Group II received a combination of palonosetron (0.075 mg) and dexamethasone (8 mg). Incidence of PONV was measured using visual analog score from the time of arrival to recovery until discharge at specified intervals. The absence of nausea and vomiting was considered as complete response (CR). Requirement of rescue antiemetic (metoclopramide) in each group was noted. Results: At 0–2 h, CR of 85.7% in Group II and 66.7% in Group I was observed (P = 0.040). During 2–24 h, CR in Group II in comparison to Group I (88.1% vs. 69%, P = 0.033) was more. During 0–24 h, CR of 85.7% of patients in Group II and 66.7% of patients in Group I (P = 0.040) was observed. Between 24 h till discharge, 100% in Group II and 97.6% in Group I showed CR (P = 0.314). Requirement for rescue antiemetic was higher in Group I (P = 0.026). Conclusion: A combination of palonosetron and dexamethasone significantly reduced the incidence of PONV during the first 24 h. After 24 h, both groups showed similar efficacy.
Hepcidin: Discovery to Destiny

Iron plays an important role in many essential biochemical processes of living creatures, so tight regulation of iron metabolism in needed. In recent years many new players were introduced in this field of iron homeostasis, among them liver derived anti-microbial peptide named as hepcidin plays a vital role. It is produced as propeptide and processed by furin into active peptide of 25 amino acid. Ferroportin is the key ligand for hepcidin bioactivity. It causes degradation and internalization of ferroportin molecule, thus prevents the export of iron from the key iron regulatory cells like enterocyte, hepatocyte, macrophages, etc. Main pathways responsible for expression of hepcidin molecule are BMP/HJV/SMAD and IL6/STAT3, they respond to iron status and inflammation respectively. Other conditions which can alter the hepcidin expression are anaemia, hypoxia and ineffective erythropoiesis. In different iron related clinical conditions, hepcidin production alters the pathogenesis of the diseases. So, hepcidin is a promising and unexploited therapeutic target for the development of newer drugs for iron metabolism related diseases.
Principal component analysis and Steerable Pyramid Transform Image Denoising Method for Gray Scale

— This paper suggests a spatially adaptive image denoising scheme, which is comprised of two stages. In the first stage, image is denoised by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with Local Pixel Grouping (LPG). LPG-PCA can effectively preserve the image fine structures while denoising. In the second stage, we use Steerable Pyramid Transform (SPT) to decompose images into frequency sub-bands. The noise level is updated adaptively before second stage denoising. Steerable Pyramid Transform in the second stage further improves the denoising performance. This paper also reviews on the present denoising processes and performs their comparative study. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed PCA-SPT algorithm achieve competitive outcomes. PCA-SPT works well in image fine structure preservation, compared with state-of-the-art denoising algorithms .
REVIEW ON QOS AND REAL TIME ROUTING PROTOCOLS IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

: - Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have emerged as a crucial constituent to modern communication network. Sensor Nodes (SNs) are randomly placed in a sensor field to sense different environmental conditions like temperature, humidity etc. The sensed data is routed to the Base Station, from where user can access the data remotely. Different routing classes are categorized as data-centric, hierarchical, location-based, Quality-of-Service (QoS) for routing data in network. QoS become an attention grabbing area of research, because of quality data transmission importance in different time-critical and power constrained applications. In this paper different routing protocols in terms of QoS metrics and real time properties are presented.
Guaranteed QOS in Real-Time Traffic for dynamic Subcarrier Allocation over Multiuser OFDM Systems

-A dynamic resource allocation algorithm to satisfy the packet delay requirements for real-time services, while maximizing the system capacity in multiuser orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is introduced. Our proposed cross-layer algorithm, called Dynamic Subcarrier Allocation algorithm for Real-time Traffic (DSA-RT), consists of two interactive components. In the medium access control (MAC) layer, the users' expected transmission rates in terms of the number of subcarriers per symbol and their corresponding transmission priorities are evaluated. With the above MAC-layer information and the detected subcarriers' channel gains, in the physical (PHY) layer, a modified Kuhn-Munkres algorithm is developed to minimize the system power for a certain subcarrier allocation, then a PHY-layer resource allocation scheme is proposed to optimally allocate the subcarriers under the system signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and power constraints. In a system where the number of mobile users changes dynamically, our developed MAC-layer access control and removal schemes can guarantee the quality of service (QoS) of the existing users in the system and fully utilize the bandwidth resource. The numerical results show that DSA-RT significantly improves the system performance in terms of the bandwidth efficiency and delay performance for real-time services.
OSTEOPOROSIS AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS AMONG PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE IN JIMMA UNIVERSITY SPECIALIZED HOSPITAL, JIMMA, ETHIOPIA

Osteoporosis is one of the systemic features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and its prevalence is assumed to be two-to fivefolds greater than in sex and age matched healthy subjects. This study was designed to assess the prevalence of osteoporosis and associated factors among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease attending chest clinic of the Jimma University Specialized Hospital. In this cross-sectional study, data were collected using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, bone mineral density scan of 2 nd to 4 th lumbar spine for three repetitive measurements and from the patient‟s medical chart (doses and frequency of corticosteroid therapy) and other potential factors via structured questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 21. Binary logistic regression was used to control the potential confounders and the strength of the association was expressed in an adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval. Finally, an association with p-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Among 80-patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease evaluated; the prevalence of osteoporosis was found to be 33(41.3%). Cigarette smoking [AOR= 4.949; 95% CI: 1.323, 18.508] and corticosteroid therapy [AOR= 4.768; 95% CI: 1.258, 18.065] were the two variables which were found to be significantly associated with osteoporosis (pvalue < 0.05).

A Survey of Web Page Personalization in Web Search Engine

Web search engines plays an important role in web life. Generic web search engines is not suitable for identifying different needs of different customers. If user enter an improper or ambiguous keywords and inability of users to express what they need are some of the main challenges faced by generic engines. We have to personalize the search results to address this issue. Personalized web search (PWS) is designed to provide different search results for different users. Major barrier for the wide proliferation of PWS is user’s uncomfortability with exposing their private information during search . For keeping users information safe and ensuring privacy, search engines should provide security mechanism. Search engines can provide more accurate and specific data if users trust search engine and provide more information. In this paper we will discuss on different techniques were used in personalized web search and securing personalized information.

Outl ier c usters were also identified in the cases of t rend, linearity, spike and curvature features. The cluster analysis of the indexes together on spike and linearity gave us a single cluster with twenty (20) indexes while three (3) in dexes were marked as outlier cluster.
Uncovering the Pyramids-Giza Plateau in a Search for Archaeological Relics- By Utilizing Ground Penetrating Radar

The Pyramids-Giza plateau still has a universe of unrevealed secrets. The eons passed since the building of the Pyramids, makes this area unique. These huge structures reflect the passion and the discipline of the old Egyptians. The size and effort involved, makes one question: Is that all? Is there still more hidden and unrevealed? The answers to these questions can be easily achieved using scientific approaches. One of the most powerful techniques available nowadays is the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) geophysical technique. GPR is a fast, cheap and non-destructive inspecting technology. The strength of this technique is its capability to delineate clearly any anomalous feature (wall, pipe, cave etc) within the subsurface soil. So, the implementation of this technique for archaeological inspection is significant and timely. In the present work, the GPR technique has been applied to selected areas over the Pyramids plateau. As most of the previous work done in this area was so shallow, the present work has been planned using a multi-frequency antenna with a chosen frequency of 16 MHz and 100 MHz. This frequency allows for greater depth penetration and therefore, the possibility of locating any possible deeper targets. The following interpretations of the collected GPR profiles show some interesting features which are probably a location for archaeological relics in three areas: close to the southern side of the first Pyramid (Khufu), around the causeway of the second Pyramid (Khafre) and the location of the sun boat south of the third pyramid . Some other features of less mass have been delineated close to the eastern side of the second Pyramid and close to the entrance door to the northern side of the Sphinx. [Abbas M.

Nanogenomics for Personalized Nanomedicine: An Application to Kidney Transplantation

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), defined by reduced glomerular filtration and/or albuminuria persistent for more than three months, is an important Public Health concern, being a real burden for the society. OMICS data generated by high-throughput technologies, converging together into the transpantomics approach, can face this issue, by enabling the discovery of predictive and personalized biomarkers. Using the Leader Gene algorithm, which takes into account gene expression, gene connectivities and biological pathways, we previously identified eight genes (namely, HTATIP/KAT5, c-JUN, TP53, ATF2, MAPK14, ARRB2, XBP1, and NPHS1), that we termed “hub genes”. In the present contribution, we accessed the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, a public repository of micro-array experiments, looking for the expression profiles of the previously identified Leader Genes. We found that 5 out of 8 genes (62.5%; HTATIP, c-JUN, TP53, ARRB2, and ATF2) are able to distinguish between rejection and tolerance to kidney transplantation, being differentially expressed between the two groups of patients in a statistically significant way. Some of these genes (HTATIP, ARRB2, and ATF2) have been rarely described as predictors of clinical outcome to renal graft in the extant literature.
