A Pragmatic Review of Data Cleansing models and using Elastic Search shards for Removing Duplicate data

: The quality of the data is significant issue for the accomplishment of any development. Unrelated and insignificant information leads to an inaccurate analysis, which can be very destructive to the campaigns. Data cleansing plays an essential role when a large amount of data is concerned. Duplication of the information may lead to confusion, accidental deletion of the authentic information, loss of time, etc. Data cleansing is the process of incomplete, incorrect, inaccurate, irrelevant, etc. parts of the data and subject to replacing, modifying, or deleting this outlier data or coarse data from a hefty record set. After data cleansing, the data set will be unswerving for analyzing or any other operations with other similar data sets in the system. The inconsistencies data should be analyzed and detected or removed from the original database. Elastic search is an extremely flexible platform to systematize data along with replication process. This paper will aim to answer queries like how many shards should we have and how large should our shards be. Elastic Search was chosen because it is convenient to set up nodes and clusters. The API makes it easy to use different languages like Java, Ruby, Perl, Python, and more. In runtime, elastic search manages distribution: Adding a node is quite easy and data is redistributed automatically.
COMPARISON OF HIGH SENSITIVE C-REACTIVE PROTEIN LEVELS IN NEONATES DELIVERED BY DIFFERENT MODES OF DELIVERY

Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a well-known indicator of inflammation, infection, and stress. Acute hypoxia that develops a short time before birth due to fetal distress may cause an elevation in the hs CRP levels. Hence this study was taken up to compare the hs CRP levels in neonates delivered by different modes of delivery and to determine if there are any changes due to fetal distress Materials and Methods: The present study included 34 full term neonates, delivered by vaginal route (10), elective caesarean (12) and emergency caesarean (12) sections in the Obstetrics Unit of Sri Ramachandra Medical College & Research Institute, Chennai. High sensitive CRP concentrations were measured in the venous cord blood of these neonates and analyzed in Dade Behring RXL Dimension clinical chemistry auto analyzer. Neonatal characteristics like gestational age, birth weight, Apgar scores, length and head circumference were also recorded . Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS for Windows15.0 statistical program. The mean rank values were calculated and differences between mean values of the groups were analyzed by Kruskal Wallis Test and p values <0.05 were considered to be statistically significant. Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationships between CRP levels and neonatal variables. Result: Statistically significant difference was observed in hs CRP levels in neonates delivered by different modes. No significant correlation was observed between CRP levels and other neonatal variables Conclusion: The babies delivered by elective cesarean section had significantly lower levels of hs CRP levels compared to babies delivered by other modes. Fetal distress in emergency cesarean section and vaginal delivery has lead to increased hs CRP levels. Thus increase in hs CRP levels reflects the intensity of stress on baby during delivery in the immediate postnatal period and does not necessarily indicate an infected status. Key words: hs CRP, delivery, fetal distress
Endobronchial Tuberculosis: A Rarely Suspected Common Disease

Endobronchial tuberculosis is defined as tuberculous infection of the tracheobronchial tree with microbial and histopathological evidence. It has been reported in about 10-40% of patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis and unfortunately >90% of these patients have already developed variable degree of bronchial stenosis. Yet it is a relatively uncommonly detected manifestation of a common disease like tuberculosis (TB) in India. A high index of suspicion is necessary for predicting the endobronchial involvement.
Assessment of Spatial and Temporal Flow Variability of the Indus River

Considerable controversy exists among researchers over the behavior of glaciers in the Upper Indus Basin (UIB) with regard to climate change. Glacier monitoring studies using the Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing techniques have given rise to contradictory results for various reasons. This uncertain situation deserves a thorough examination of the statistical trends of temperature and streamflow at several gauging stations, rather than relying solely on climate projections. Planning for equitable distribution of water among provinces in Pakistan requires accurate estimation of future water resources under changing flow regimes. Due to climate change, hydrological parameters are changing significantly; consequently the pattern of flows are changing. The present study assesses spatial and temporal flow variability and identifies drought and flood periods using flow data from the Indus River. Trends and variations in river flows were investigated by applying the Mann-Kendall test and Sen’s method. We divide the annual water cycle into two six-month and four three-month seasons based on the local water cycle pattern. A decile indices technique is used to determine drought and flood periods. Overall, the analysis indicates that flow and temperature variabilities are greater seasonally than annually. At the Tarbela Dam, Indus River, annual mean, maximum, and minimum flows decreased steeply from 1986–2010 compared to the 1961–1985 period. Seasonal flow analysis unveils a more complex flow regime: Winter (October–March), (December–February), and spring (March–May) seasons demonstrate increasing flows along with increasing maximum temperature, whereas summer (April–September), (June–August) and autumn (September–November) showed decreasing trends in the flow. Spatial analysis shows that minimum discharge increased at the higher elevation gauging station (Kharmong, 2542 m.a.s.l.) and decreased at the lower elevation gauging station (Tarbela). Over the same timeframe, maximum and mean discharges decreased more substantially at lower elevations than at higher elevations. Drought and flood analysis revealed 2000–2004 to be the driest period in the Indus Basin for this record.
Évaluation de descripteurs visuels pour l'annotation automatique d'images patrimoniales

– Dans cet article, nous evaluons plusieurs familles de descripteurs visuels couramment utilisees en classification d'images pour effectuer de l'annotation automatique dans des collections d'images patrimoniales. Dans de telles collections, les mots-clef utilises sont souvent tres precis et le nombre d'exemples d'apprentissage est relativement faible, ce qui rend le probleme plus difficile que dans les traditionnels challenges de vision par ordinateur. Abstract – In this paper, we evaluate several types of visual descriptors used in image classification when used to perform automatic labeling of cultural heritage images. In such collections, the keywords are often very precise and there are very few training samples. These two properties together make the problem of automatic labeling much more difficult than in academic computer vision benchmarks.

Congestion Adaptive Hybrid Multi-path Routing Protocol for Load Balancing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET), the network congestion can rigorously depreciate the network throughput. Also the network congestion results in the packet losses, bandwidth degradation and energy expenditure. Hence a load balancing scheme is required to prevent the network from congestion and exhaustion of resources of congested node. In this paper, we propose a congestion adaptive multi-path routing protocol for load balancing in MANET. When the source node wants to forward the data packet to the destination, it utilizes the reactive route discovery technique where the multiple paths are established using multi-path Dijkstra algorithm. In the discovered route, when any node detects congestion, it intimates the source with congestion notice message. The source node upon receiving the message distributes the data packets through the multiple paths available in its route cache using random transmission technique. If the source does not find any routes in its route cache, then it re-establishes multiple paths and distributes the traffic. By simulation results, we show that the proposed approach alleviates the network congestion.
Optimal design of a 2.4 GHz CMOS low noise amplifier

In most RF receivers, the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is normally the first component, whose performance is very critical. For the LNA architecture that uses source degeneration inductors and cascode topology, the performance depends largely on the performance of the inductors. All the parasitics associated with the inductors should be thoroughly analyzed and taken into consideration while designing the LNA. The work presented in this thesis can be broadly classified as follows: optimization of the LNA design with respect to all the parasitics associated with the on-chip spiral inductors, modeling high performance inductors, which are embedded in the silicon substrate and analysis of parasitic effects from the Electro Static Discharge (ESD) protection circuitry on the performance of the LNA. A methodology has been developed such that the LNA design can be optimized in the presence of an ESD protection circuitry in order to achieve the required input impedance match. This optimization procedure is presented for all possible placements of the ESD protection circuitry at the input of the LNA, that is, with respect to the gate inductor being realized on-chip or off-chip or a combination of on-chip and off-chip inductors. The thesis presents the procedure to vary the source inductance and gate inductance values in the presence of parasitic ESD capacitance in order to optimize LNA design such that the required input impedance match is maintained.
Anticoagulation for Atrial Fibrillation in Argentina: Progress and Opportunity

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia. (1) One out of five strokes is due to atrial fibrillation, and over two thirds of strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation can be prevented with anticoagulation. AF is also associated with heart failure and increased mortality. (2-5) Several studies suggest a rising prevalence and incidence of AF, in large part due to advancing age, increased comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors. (6-10) In the United States, it is estimated that the number of adults with AF will increase more than double by the year 2050. (11) Thus, it is important to describe current patterns of practice at a local level in order to implement strategies to improve anticoagulation treatment. In this issue of the Journal, Roel et al published the results of “Antithrombotic Strategies in Atrial Fibrillation. The XIX CONAREC Registry. ” Between September and November 2013, 927 patients with at least one episode of atrial fibrillation in the past 12 months and hospitalized for a cardiovascular cause in centers with cardiology residencies affiliated with the Argentine Council of Residents in Cardiology (CONAREC) were enrolled in the study. Patients had a median age of 73 years and were mostly men, with a median CHADS2 score of 2 and median CHA2DS2VASc 3. History of diabetes was 17%, hypertension 78.4%, and prior stroke/TIA 12.7%. On admission, patients with AF without contraindications and with CHADS2≥1 (n=253) were treated with oral anticoagulants in 54% of cases (32% VKA, 16% VKA+ASA; 6% NOAC); 19% received no treatment; 23% aspirin alone, and 3% dual antiplatelet therapy. At discharge, there was increase in the use of anticoagulants in this population (39% VKA, 23% VKA+ASA; 8% NOAC). However, there was still room for improvement because the use of aspirin alone was 14%, dual antiplatelet 4%, and no treatment 11%. The results of the present registry showed some improvement compared to the PENFACRA registry (12) conducted in 2001, where the authors included 840 patients with chron-
Trends of Emergency Department Use by Uninsured Individuals for Non-Urgent Health Care Conditions

Roughly one-third of all emergency department (ED) visits by both insured and uninsured individuals in the United States (US) are for non-urgent health conditions that can be effectively treated at a reduced cost by a primary care provider (Hossain, 2011). The purpose of this study is to identify trends of ED visits by uninsured individuals. This study is a secondary data analysis of patient visits to a midwest community ED. This study examined the services provided in the ED for non-urgent visits that could be provided at a less costly and non-urgent care facility, such as a Community Health Care Clinic (CHC), Nurse Managed Health Center (NMHC), or prompt care. Implications of the analysis are discussed, including community resources needed to reduce non-urgent ED visits and the associated cost burdens of uncompensated health care dollars on this midwest community.

Matt Kish’s “Every Page of Moby-Dick, Illustrated”: A Multimodal Approach

Abstract The purpose of this essay is to address the multimodal nature of Matt Kish’s project Every Page of Moby-Dick, Illustrated, where Herman Melville’s 1851 masterpiece is set as paratext. Particular focus is set on the portrayals of Captain Achab, specifically “Page 153”, “Page 465” and “Page 469”. The basic theoretical framework has been offered by Alice Gibbons’ theorization of multimodal cognitive poetics and Sigrid Norris’ systematization of multimodal (inter)action. Useful insight has been lent by Sharon Cameron’s work on allegories of the body in Melville’s writing. The given analysis aims to pinpoint the elements of innovation in Kish’s work with respect to the canonical formal features of illustrated book and renewing of literary classics in multimodal terms.
La contabilidad como herramienta para el reconocimiento y divulgación de información medioambiental en las empresas

La problematica ambiental actual ha llevado a las empresas a revelar informacion al respecto. Sin embargo, la informacion medioambiental facilitada no responde a las necesidades de informacion del publico. Ante esto, el presente trabajo analizo, mediante un muestreo no probabilistico por conveniencia, las modalidades usadas para revelar informacion medioambiental en diez empresas industriales pertenecientes al Valle de Aburra, zona geografica ubicada en el departamento de Antioquia, Colombia; encontrando que los informes emitidos discriminan el factor ambiental de la situacion financiera de la empresa. De este modo, surge la contabilidad ambiental como una herramienta que integra las politicas ambientales y financieras de las empresas, proporcionando informacion clara que facilite la toma de decisiones de usuarios internos y externos a la organizacion.
Global asymptotic stabilization of mobile robot using smooth guidance law

It is well known that although nonholonomic systems are open-loop controllable, they can not be stabilized by using static state feedback. In this paper, we suggest the use of dynamic feedback strategy stemmed from missile guidance law to stabilized a nonholonomic system-a mobile robot. A particular smooth controller is shown to asymptotically stabilize the mobile cart about an arbitrary target position. Unlike the existing approaches, such as sliding mode controller and Lyapunov function-based controller, it does not require any switching operation. The asymptotic stability is proved analytically, and the simplicity and effectiveness of the proposed scheme are verified by numerical simulations.
Aspectifying Constraints in Model-Integrated Computing

This position paper identifies some modeling problems that arise when the dominant decomposition is based upon the functional hierarchy of a physical system. In particular, constraints that are used to specify global system properties (e.g., latency, power consumption, precision, timing) often cross-cut the boundaries of the model hierarchy. This not only produces much repetition with respect to the placement of constraints, but it also makes it difficult to reason about the overall effects on the system. The paper presents a few ideas that are being considered to ameliorate this problem. An aspectoriented approach is being pursued that provides a separate module for specifying constraints and their propagation.
Roles of Arachidonic Acid Metabolites in Endotoxin-Induced Pulmonary Edema

Pulmonary edema develops after insults that increase lung vascular permeability (primary pulmonary edema) and/or increase lung vascular pressures (secondary pulmonary edema). Secondary pulmonary edema often results from high vascular pressures during left heart failure. The causes of primary pulmonary edema are less well understood. For example, abrupt, severe pulmonary hypertension may injure lung capillaries causing focal increases in capillary permeability. Other possible sources of increased lung vascular permeability include complement activation, release of histamine or lysosomal enzymes, and synthesis of leukotrienes (formerly slow reacting substances) or toxic oxygen radicals, such as superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. At Vanderbilt's Pulmonary Circulation Center, we are studying the pathogenesis of primary pulmonary edema in chronically instrumented, unanesthetized sheep prepared for continuous measurement of vascular pressures and collection of lung lymph. We can elicit primary pulmonary edema by infusing small amounts of E. coli endotoxin, which consistently causes a reaction characterized by an early period of severe pulmonary hypertension lasting less than one hour (phase I), followed by a period of increased lung vascular permeability from three to five hours after endotoxemia. We and others have measured concentrations of various potential mediators and metabolites in lung lymph and blood plasma" during the pulmonary vascular response to endotoxin. Several metabolites of arachidonic acid have endured as potential mediators of both pulmonary hypertension (such as thromboxane [Tx] A2) and increased lung vascular permeability (such as SRSA or leukotrienes). Since several aspects of the pulmonary vascular response to endotoxemia are reproducible in the same animal, we have also investigated the influences of numerous pharmacologic interventions on the endotoxin reaction. This article will summarize our current understanding of the involvement of metabolites of arachidonic acid in the pathogenesis of pulmonary edema after endotoxemia.

Laryngeal Cancer Neck Node Metastases: Patterns of Spread

Objective: To determine the patterns of neck node metastases of patients with laryngeal carcinoma in our institution. Methods: Design: Chart Review Setting: Tertiary Public Hospital Subjects: Records of thirty-eight (38) laryngeal cancer patients who underwent laryngectomy with neck dissection from January 2010 to January 2017 were considered. Results: Records of 34 laryngeal cancer patients with ages ranging from 45-72 years old were included. The most common subsite was the glottis, with 19 (55.88%) patients. The distribution of neck node metastases for all subsites were 0/64 (0%) for level I, 22/64 (34.37%) for level II, 12/64 (18.75%) for level III, 7/64 (10.93%) for level IV, 0/64 (0%) for level V, and 1/64 (1.56%) for level VI. Distributions of lymph nodes per subsite for supraglottic SCCA were 0 (0%) for level I, 3/22 (13.63%) for level II, 2/12 (16.66%) for level III, 1/7 (14.28%) for level IV, 0 (0%) for level V, and 0/1 (0%) for level VI. For glottic SCCA, they were 0 (0%) for level I, 12/22 (54.54%) for level II, 8/12 (66.66%) for level III, 3/7 (42.85%) for level IV, 0 (0%) for level V, and 1/1 (100%) for level VI; and for transglottic SCCA, they were 0 (0%) for level I, 7/22 (31.81%) for level II, 5/12 (41.66%) for level III, 3/7 (42.85%) for level IV, 0 (0%) for level V, and 0/1 (0%) for level VI. Conclusion: Our findings show that neck node levels II, III, and IV are most frequently affected in laryngeal carcinoma patients in our sample, and may guide recommendations for neck dissection in our institution.

On the capability of the T‐S model in describing nonlinear systems

The Takagi‐Sugeno (T‐S) model is one of the most powerful methods in describing nonlinear systems. Because the T‐S model can be easily converted into an LPV system, Lyapunov stability analysis and controller design reduce to solving an LMI problem. However, since the constructed T‐S model is generally approximation, how to construct a T‐S model with less approximation error is important. In this paper, we propose a modeling method for T‐S model which yields no error for some class of nonlinear systems, and discuss some expansion as well as estimation of error bound for general nonlinear systems. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
