Glomalins and Their Relationship with Soil Carbon

The activity of bacteria and fungi is a relevant issue in the process of humification of organic matter and physical stability of the soil, standing out the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). AMF synthesize a recalcitrant glycoprotein called glomalin, with hydrophobic characteristics. GSRP (glomalin soil-related protein) is the generic product of proteins extracted from soil. The aim was to quantify GSRP and evaluate its share in the total soil organic carbon (TOC). GSRP presented a direct and positive association with soil TOC (R2:0.73). The quantitative participation of GSRP regarding TOC (GSRP / TOC) revealed that as TOC content decreases, GSRP proportion increases. Within the TOC range explored in this paper (1.3 to 3.2%), the glomalin related protein pool of soil changes about 9%, representing between 27% and 36% of TOC. This behavior would indicate an increase of resistant carbon forms counteracting the effects of carbon loss.
Sueiro ’ s and Hoover ’ s Signs . Coincidence or Causality ?

The paradoxical inspiratory movement on the lateral margin of the inferior ribs is a classic sign of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and it is known as Hoover ́s sign. Its presence is related to a worse prognosis in COPD patients in terms of dyspnea and exacerbations. On the other hand, the Sueiro’s sign is defined by the diastasis recti abdominis with dynamic herniation of the abdominal content when we ask the patient for sitting up from the supine position, which justifies a worse ventilatory mechanics. We have had the opportunity to study a COPD patient where Hoover and Sueiro’s signs coexisted. We discuss the relation between them and the possibility that Sueiro’s sign may contribute to a greater expression of Hoover’s sign.
Improving Geometrical Structure of Data Using Geometric Decision Tree

For representing the classifier Decision trees are the great approach. This paper presents a very newfound algorithm for acquiring a Oblique decision trees . For acquiring a decision tree in top-down fashion maximum decision tree algorithms trust on impurity related measures to evaluate the goodness of hyper planes at every node while developing a decision tree in top-down fashion. These impurity measures are not properly represent the geometric Structures in the data. Our algorithm implements a Strategy for evaluating the hyper planes in such a way that the Geometric structure in the data is filled into account. At every node Of the decision tree, There is the clustering hyper planes for both the classes and implement their angle bisectors as the split rule at that particular kind of node. We mention through experimental studies that this idea guides to small decision trees and for better performance. We also show some analysis to represent that the angle bisectors of clustering hyper planes that we implement as the split rules at every node are problem solutions of an eliciting optimization problem and hence represent that this is a high principled method of acquiring a decision tree.
Symptom Recognition to Diagnosis: Pathway to Care for Autism in a Tertiary Care Medical Centre

Abstract Objective There is no systematic report on pathway to care in autism from tertiary care medical centers of India. The present study was aimed to evaluate the pathways to care among parents of children with autism-seeking treatment at a tertiary care medical center. Methods Cross-sectional, observational study involving parents of 38 children with autism spectrum disorder diagnosed with INCLEN diagnostic tool. Pathway to care was assessed using World Health Organization Encounter Form. Statistical Analysis IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 20.0 was used for analysis; categorical variables were assessed using Chi-square test keeping statistical significance at 0.05%. Results A total of 74% parents reported going to a general practitioner and 13% reported going to a child psychiatrist as point of first contact. Among them, 71% parents reported seeking care with a child psychiatrist in a tertiary medical center at the fourth point of contact. Also, 84% parents believed in biomedical explanation of autism. Majority of parents sought for speech therapy and medicines for their child with autism which is in tune with their biomedical explanation. Parents were the first to identify developmental concerns, average age of symptom recognition being 2.2 years. Average age of intervention initiation was 40 months, 8 months prior to diagnosis of autism. Conclusions Early symptom recognition and initiation of interventions is encouraging. Despite having a biomedical explanation of autism and ability to recognize developmental concerns, there is a lag of 4 years in diagnosis and reaching a specialized child psychiatry setup. This lag is a cause of concern owing to the impact on access to evidence-based interventions.
A Survey on Security based on User Trust in Spontaneous Wireless Ad Hoc Network Creation

Security is a main concern now a day. A spontaneous network is a special kind of ad-hoc network; Ad-hoc wireless network is an infrastructure less network that is there is no central coordination for network operations. As and when a new node comes in the region of the network it will spontaneously form the network. Security is a major concern while designing and developing spontaneous ad-hoc network in mobile devices. Spontaneous ad hoc networks require well defined, energy efficient and user-friendly security mechanisms. This method presents data transmission using a secure protocol for spontaneous wireless ad-hoc network which uses an hybrid symmetric or asymmetric scheme and the trust between the users in order to exchange initial data and to exchange the secret keys that is used to encrypt the data. In spontaneous wireless ad hoc network creation there is no need of any infrastructure no need of any administrator for handling the services. No need of any external base for handling functionalities of network. This protocol is a completely self-configured secure protocol that is able to create a network and share services without any central infrastructure. Network creation stages, protocol messages, and network management are explained. This protocol allows sharing of resources among users in a secure environment. In human communication model any two people that are physically close to each other can communicate with each other without any central server, anybody those who want to communicate can come join, communicate and leave the network without central server. In spontaneous network there is no server or any central infrastructure between nodes to communicate, anybody want to communicate can come join and leave the network without central infrastructure. A user can create its own resources or it can request from its neighbour user, because it allows resource sharing.
Applicability and Realization of Security in Leach Protocol in WSNs

WSN is a collaborative network of a large number of loosely connected nodes. The intense deployment of such networks over varied topographic regions ranging from a few meters to several hundreds of kilometres is feasible by setting up small, low cost devices which are capable of monitoring the physical world around them by collecting status information and then converting this into radio signals. These signals are then transmitted to a local sink. Keywords: WSNs, Leach, Noad etc.
Osteopromotion Capacity of Bovine Cortical Membranes in Critical Defects of Rat Calvaria: Histological and Immunohistochemical Analysis

Membranes that aid the guided bone regeneration (GBR) process have been the subject of studies of compatible biomaterials that contribute to this repair process. The present study compared different membranes used in critical-size defects of rat calvaria by assessing GBR as well as histological, histomorphometric, and immunohistochemical reactions. Forty-eight male albino Wistar rats were randomly allocated into four groups (n = 12 each), namely, C: membrane-free control group (only blood clot, negative control group); BG: porcine collagen membrane group (Bio-Gide®, positive control group); GD: bovine cortical membrane group (first experimental group); and GDF: thicker bovine cortical membrane group (second experimental group). Rats were euthanized at 30 and 60 days postoperatively. Quantitative data from the histometric analysis were submitted to two-way ANOVA and Tukey's posttest when p < 0.05. Histomorphometric results of the thicker bovine cortical membrane at 30 and 60 days were promising, showing improved new bone formation values (p < 0.05), and the CD group presented similar results in both analysis periods, being surpassed only by the GDF group (p < 0.05). The immunohistochemical results were associated with the histomorphometric data. A less-thick membrane also assisted in GBR. All membranes promoted GBR, especially the positive control and experimental groups.
Investigation of TV White Space for Maximum Spectrum Utilization in a Cellular Network Using CRT

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract — The shortage of spectrum resource availability in wireless communication network due to the rapid increase in the number of subscribers and multimedia applications has given rise to the need for effective spectrum utilization of the licensed spectrum. Cognitive Radio Technology (CRT) was adopted for the system analysis due to its dynamism in accommodating both licensed and unlicensed users within a particular spectrum band. The study framework comprised television station channels in Owerri and its environs and Mobile Telecommunication Networks (MTN) in Owerri-the capital of Imo State, Nigeria as the license and unlicensed users respectively. An outdoor twenty-four hour spectrum occupancy measurement was carried out in the frequency bands of the licensed networks using 240-960 MHz Radio Frequency Spectrum analyzer to determine the spectral usage of the licensed user. A threshold of -95 dB was used to determine the presence of the licensed users. From the results obtained, it was observed that 60.7% of the spectrum band covered was unoccupied, 31.5% was not fully occupied while 7.9% was fully occupied. Energy Detection spectrum approach was implemented by the unlicensed users for easy determination of the spectrum status and resource management. The research therefore determines the status of Radio Frequency (RF) Spectrum receivable in Owerri and its environs and proffer measures deployable in harnessing the unused RF resources using CRT.
Advanced Techniques of Foreground, Background and Object Identification in Video Application: A Survey

† In this paper we investigate real-time tracking of a tennis-ball using various image differencing techniques. First, we considered a simple background subtraction method with subsequent ball verification (BS). We then implemented two variants of our initial background subtraction method. The first is an image differencing technique that considers the difference in ball position between the current and previous frames along with a background model that uses a single Gaussian distribution for each pixel. The second is uses a mixture of Gaussians to accurately model the background image. Each of these three techniques constitutes a complete solution to the tennis ball tracking problem. In a detailed evaluation of the techniques in different lighting conditions we found that the mixture of Gaussians model produces the best quality tracking. Our contribution in this paper is the observation that simple background subtraction can outperform more sophisticated techniques on difficult problems, and we provide a detailed evaluation and comparison of the performance of our techniques, including a breakdown of the sources of error.
Pitfalls and common errors of anaesthetic monitoring devices. Part 1: Pulse oximetry

Abstract Pulse oximetry is the most commonly used piece of monitoring equipment in general practice. It gives non-invasive objective information on oxygenation and pulse rate and subjective information on pulse quality. Like all electronic anaesthetic monitoring devices pulses oximeters can be used to improve the safety of anaesthesia; however, over-reliance on their use has a number of pitfalls. Foremost is the potential for erroneous measurement. Poor pulse quality, light interference, movement, pigmented tissue can all effect the accuracy and reliability of pulse oximetry. Understanding how the pulse oximeter works and how to assess signal quality is vital if pulse oximeters are to be used in an appropriate fashion. This allows the anaesthetist to ensure that the readings being given and recorded are realistic, which in turn helps decision making and ensures timely intervention.

Endogenous, Climate, and Fishing Influences on the Population Dynamics of Small Pelagic Fish in the Southern Humboldt Current Ecosystem

There remains a lack of holistic approaches for analyzing how different density-independent and density-dependent (endogenous) mechanisms interact to drive the dynamics of the small pelagic fish populations of the southern Humboldt Current ecosystem. In this study, we analyzed the drivers of the small pelagic fishes (SPF) off the coast of Chile from the late 1980s until the early 2010s. We postulated that climate, fishing, and endogenous effects drove the biomass dynamics of these populations. Per capita growth rates (R models) were used to investigate how these factors regulated the dynamics of three anchovy populations and one population of common sardine (CS) off the Chilean coast. We found that the dynamics of the anchovy populations located off northern Chile were driven by endogenous components and by the effects of the climate, fishing, and the climate–fishing interaction. We proposed that during the study period, the climate conditions favored the population growth of the anchovies in the north; however, fishing had a negative effect on anchovy biomass, which was facilitated by the climate. The dynamics of the SPF off central-southern Chile showed weaker endogenous effects. Indeed, the anchovy population displayed the lowest density-dependent effect, and fishing played the most significant role. The endogenous effect on the CS was slightly higher in comparison to that on the anchovy; however, climate [sea surface temperature (SST)] seemed to be the main driver of the flourishment in the CS biomass following 2006, which supported the previous hypothesis regarding the effect of climate on the species. We discussed that the R models approach could be used to provide a holistic understanding of the drivers of the biomass dynamics of these populations. The approach provided a framework for integrating climate variability in the population dynamics of these species and moving toward an ecosystem approach to fisheries management. Further steps involve exploring the effects of competition and predation on the population dynamics of these species.

Palmprint Recognition Using Ridge Features

: This Palm print recognition implements many of matching characteristics as of finger print recognition and both biometrics are represented by the information present on the friction ridge impression. Palm prints differ from finger prints in a way since they contain many features and they have more discriminative regions than fingerprints. Because palm prints are both unique and permanent, they have used over a century as a trusted form of identification . Existing research on palm prints was based on low resolution and by this we can only identify the creases of a palm. The proposed system is based on High resolution images and by this we can able to identify the ridge features. Overcoming these issues many palm print systems have been proposed and are becoming a challenging task in criminal and forensic applications. An efficient Palm print recognition system has to be designed with increased matching accuracy and hence with more efficiency in forensic applications. The absolute aim of this project is an attempt to design such a system that can bring out an efficient authentication system for Palm print recognition
SET POINT TRACKING OF WIND TURBINE GENERATOR UNDER AGC USING FUZZY LOGIC CONTROL

- Now a day’s wind power is using mostly in several applications. Wind energy converts motion of wind into electricity, thereby sent to consumers by electrical transmission systems. Due to wide range of generation mix in the system, it is necessary to control the wind power under automatic generation control (AGC). This issue conjointly raises another concern on modeling of wind farm under AGC. The aggregated wind turbine model is operated in maximum power point tracking (MPPT) which is not suitable in AGC. The proposed paper illustrates controllability of wind turbines under set-point control using fuzzy controller. Different types of wind farm models are derived and demonstrated using set-point tracking below the intermittent wind conditions. The simulation of wind farm models is developed and its various characteristics were compared in the simulation results.
Effects of Chronic Cocaine Administration during Pregnancy on Pre and Postpartum Maternal Behavior

World drug use has increased in a worrying manner. During the period from 2009 to 2017 the increase was 30% [1]. Cocaine is still one of the most popular substances and occupies the fourth place with the highest consumption in the world. In 2017, the annual prevalence ranged from 0.35% to 0.37% [1,2]. In Latin America, consumption of this substance increased among people aged 12 to 34 years, and the highest consumption was in the range of 18 to 34 years. In general, men consume more than women; in Colombia the ratio is 6:1 and it is the Andean country with one of the highest rates of cocaine use among university students, where the past years prevalence increased from 2.4% in 2009 to 2.7% in 2016 [2].
