A Near Sinusoidal Three Phase Five Level Voltage Source Inverter With Fundamental Switching Frequency

AbstractIn this paper, a near sinusoidal three phase five level voltage source inverter with fundamental switching frequency is proposed. The proposed topology is constructed of 12 power switches and 12 diodes to achieve a three-phase five-level AC Y-connected output. The output line-to-line voltage is five levels and total harmonic distortion is lower. Multilevel inverters are used in the place where filters are not required and less harmonics are needed. Compared to the traditional three-phase inverters, the proposed three-phase five level inverter can achieve the five output voltage levels with fewer components. In this paper, the details of the mode analyses and control schemes are discussed. An experimental prototype with input voltage 500 V, output power 6 kW, THD 3.62%, and efficiency 98.40% is implemented to verify the theory and feasibility of the proposed topology.

Ethnomedicinal Survey of Medicinal Plants Used in the Treatment of Male Infertilty among the IFA Nkari People of Ini Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria

Over the years plants have been used for the management and treatment of male infertility and it’s gradually gaining grounds due to its availability and affordability. Infertility is the inability of a couple to have a pregnancy, after one year of regular sexual intercourse (3 to 4 times per week) without using any contraceptive. This survey was carried out to document medicinal plants used in the treatment of male infertility among the Ifa Nkari people of Ini Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Ethnomedical data were collected by oral interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire. A total of twenty respondents which included nineteen (19) males and one (1) female were interviewed. A record of thirty-one (31) medicinal plants belonging to twenty-four (24) families with their botanical descriptions, folk uses, methods of preparation, reported uses, isolated substances and pharmacological effects were documented. The Poaceae family was the most represented with three species followed by Arecaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Liliaceae, Musaceae and Zingiberaceae families which has two species each and others one species. Leaves and roots were the commonest plant parts used closely followed by seeds, bark and fruits. The use of plants for the treatment of male infertility has been on the increase and the current renewed interest in natural products to sustain health globally cannot be overemphasized. It is therefore recommended that the reported anti-infertility plants be investigated to ascertain their safety and efficacy in order to improve the quality of life of man as well as the well-being of married couples.

64 Study the Immunomodulatory effects of Beta Glucan in broiler chickens Nidhal Raoof Mahdi and Haider Abed AL-Abass Department of Microbiology, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Baghdad, Iraq E-mail: dr.nidhalraoof @yahoo.com Summary This study was carried out to investigate the immunomodulating activity of β-glucan which extracted from the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. β-glucan of 225μg/ml was supplemented in drinking water of broiler chicken vaccinated with Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vaccine. The parameters of the immunomodulating activity employed were the body weight, Phagocytic activity and determination of antibody titer to NDV vaccine. Chicks one day old (120), were divided into four equal groups, G1 treated with β-glucan for six weeks and vaccinated with NDV vaccine; G2 treated with β-glucan for three weeks and vaccinated with NDV vaccine; G3 not given β-glucan but vaccinated with NDV vaccine (control group); while G4 was not treated with β-glucan and not vaccinated with NDV vaccine (second control). The results of the body weight indicated that; there were significant differences (P< 0.05) between treated groups (G1 and G2) compared to the control groups (G3 and G4) at 21,28 and 35 day of age. The results of phagocytic activity showed that treated group had significantly (P< 0.05) higher clearance of carbon particles from blood circulation than did the control groups; and the antibody titer to NDV showed significant differences (P<0.05) between treated and non treated groups at 14d and 28d. The data presented in this study contribute for the first time in Iraq; that β –glucan given via drinking water to chicks from day one for 35 days improves the immune responses and body weight.
Effects of aflatoxin contamination of grains in Ethiopia

This review was conducted to investigate the effect of aflatoxin contamination in Ethiopia. Risk of aflatoxin contamination of commodities in Africa, especially in Ethiopia is increasing. Aflatoxin can occur in a wide range of important commodities, including cereals, nuts, spices, figs and dried fruit. AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG1, AFM1 and AFM2 are the most common type of aflatoxin. Aflatoxin contamination of agricultural commodities poses considerable risk to human and livestock health and economic losses. Exposure to aflatoxin leads to several health-related conditions in human including acute and chronic aflatoxicosis, immune suppression, liver cancer, liver cirrhosis, stunted growth in children and many others. In Ethiopia aflatoxins are detected from several crops especially from maize and groundnut. Several researches show that AFB1 is the most common aflatoxin in Ethiopia from most commodities at a very much higher level. AFM1 was also detected greater than the standard from milk and milk products in Ethiopia. This indicates that a lot of Ethiopian people are at danger of aflatoxin contamination. Lack of awareness on aflatoxin contamination increases the risk of damage to human and animals. High economic losses due to aflatoxin occur in the country crops and animals.
INTERAÇÃO MEDICAMENTOSA ENTRE FÁRMACOS ANTI-HIPERTENSIVOS EM USUÁRIOS DE BEBIDA ALCOÓLICA

Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is considered a clinical condition and major concern for global public health. Despite the drug efficacy being proven, the individual's behavior with respect to the change in lifestyle also contributes significantly to prevent the development of hypertension. This work aimed to investigate the relationship between antihypertensive drugs in alcohol users, and to implement means of educationto of the population classified as hypertensive. It is an integrative literature review study, which employed a total of 48 publications. The survey showed that the concomitant use of antihypertensive drugs and alcohol raises blood pressure levels because both substances use the same metabolic pathway (cytochrome P450). And much of the population is unaware of the severity of the disease (asymptomatic and slow evolution and possible death). It was concluded that health professionals, especially nurses, have a primary role in clarifying the risks of this association.
Study and Analysis of Photonic Crystal Fiber in Honey Comb Structure with Ultra-Flattened Dispersion

 Abstract — A new class of Honey Comb Photonic Crystal Fibres (PCFs) structure that has a high-index core surrounded by air holes is proposed. For the proposed design four different air-hole diameters surrounding core region is used. A full vector Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) analysis with the Transparent Boundary conditions (TBC) absorbing boundary conditions is effectively applied to investigate the model characteristics of Photonic Crystal Fibres (PCFs) Through the numerical simulation and optimizing the geometrical parameters like changing the pitch (Λ) for photonic crys tal fibers in Honey Comb structure, it has been demonstrated that it is possible to obtain ultra flatten dispersion over a wide wavelength range. The designed index-guiding Honey Comb PCFs has a nearly zero ultra-flattened dispersion of O±O.11ps/(nm.km) in a wavelength range of 1.4 µm to 1. 6µm. The proposed structure is designed using seven rings in which circular air holes are used. The background material for the designing purpose is silica with refractive index 1.458. Moreover, a detailed study of PCF with honeycomb lattice has been carried out with the purpose of optimizing the chromatic dispersion.

Objectives: To determine frequency and reasons of non-adherence to diet and exercise recommendations amongst type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Almadinah Almonawarah. Methods: This is a web based survey. The sample comprised 385 participants diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus aged ≥ 30 years. The self-administered questionnaire included sociodemographic characteristics, compliance to dietary and exercise recommendation and reasons for non-adhering to life style modifications. Results: 51.2% were female. Estimated rates of non-adherence to diet and exercise were 28.1% and 49.1 % respectively. Reasons for non-adherence to dietary recommendations were poor self-control (40%), 29.6% returned their non-adherence to dietary to situations at home (they mean eat non-healthy diets when alone), 21.2% mentioned inappropriate dietary habits; while the main perceived reasons for non-adherence to exercise were; too busy to exercise (31.5%), lack of exercise partner (28%), unfavorable weather conditions (21%). Conclusion: Non-adherence to diet and exercise recommendations amongst type 2 diabetes patients is far more prevalent and no particular single reason could be attributed to poor adherence to either diet or exercise recommendations.
Improving Accuracy with Ontology based Secured Search in Encrypted Cloud Data

: Cloud computing is the new and emerging technology after grid computing in which resources are provided online. This facility reduces the hardware and software costs and users are allowed to store their sensitive data in the mass cloud storage. While storing our data in cloud, security must be ensured. So the data had to be encrypted with searchable symmetric encryption methods before storing in cloud. Users can retrieve their files later through keyword search. For retrieving more number of accurate files, an ontology based keyword search mechanism is introduced in this paper. Ontology helps to find out the meaning of the given keywords. Coordinate matching is used to find out the similarity between cloud data and given query. Experimental evaluation gives the probabilistic values for precision and recall. Accuracy is seen to be increased than that of existing system.
A Novel Approach to Multifactor Authentication for Mobile Devices using Jumbled Image Set

: In this ever changing world of global data communications, high-speed internet connections, and rapid software development, security has emerged as a challenging issue. Security has become the basic need of any efficient computing system and more focus is required in this field. Attackers may obtain unauthorized access to the system for their personal or social gain, which is commonly known as "crackers". They can use the gained knowledge to impersonate the actual user and steal information, or even deny the access to computer systems or other resources. It is a fact that no computer system is completely secure. There are some loopholes in every system. Therefore, all we can do is to make the system more difficult for the intruder to compromise. Therefore, if anyone wants to use the system, he/she/it has to prove his/her/its identity first. The process of determining and proving the identity of the user is known as authentication. User authentication is one of the most crucial areas in information security which can be implemented in various ways. The most common method for accessing the computer system is through alphanumeric passwords. But in today’s challenging world, only one factor of authentication does not provide much security. Therefore, a new and advanced scheme is required in which user has to qualify two or more levels of authentication in order to gain the access of computer system. This is called multifactor authentication. In this paper, a new hybrid scheme which is the combination of authentication based on hand’s movement) and graphical password based authentication is proposed. The user first has to pass the first level of authentication then only the user will authenticate itself using a graphical password. The effectiveness of the scheme is measured by its level of usability and security. This scheme is proposed for smart mobile devices which are more convenient to carry than the traditional desktop computer systems.
PATIENT EDUCATION AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN TERMS OF PATIENT SAFETY

Patient safety and prevention of medical errors in every stage of health services is among the priorities of health system. Measures taken for prevention of medical errors in patient safety, one of the most important in care quality for health services, are the basis of patient safety. Information, skill and behavior increasing the degree of patient safety and making learning from errors easier can be gained through both training of health professionals and patient. Today, patient education focused on accurate application of treatment aims firstly for providing patient and patient family with accurate decision ability on care and taking responsibilities. Patient education helps patient with learning and understanding of his/her diagnosis and treatment, gaining active self-care attitude, and getting rid of feeling “weakness” due to illness. This process, in which effective and observable changes in patient behaviors are aimed, is not limited to inpatient treatment, but continuous. Patient education is not limited to patient health, but also includes increasing health care quality. Patient’s healthcare expense get less and less proportionally as hospitalization time gets closer to end. Importance of patient education, financing of which is so profitable, increases more and more today.
REMOVAL OF LEAD (II) ION FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION USING VITEX NEGUNDO STEM

The potential of chemically carbonized vitex negundo stem (VNC) for the effective removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution has been investigated in batch experiments. The activated carbon prepared from VNC modified with activating agent H2SO4. Lead adsorption significantly depends on the initial concentration of Pb(II), pH, adsorbent dosage, particle size and effect of temperature. FTIR were used to characterize the functional group and XRD has a highly porous structure with sharp edges. The powder XRD data active sites present in VNC-1. That the main structures of activated carbons are amorphous as expected. The optimum conditions for adsorption studies are calculated and it concludes that the activated carbon exhibits a good adsorption potential for lead ions. The results indicate that the carbon prepared from VNC-1 activated could be used to effectively adsorb lead (II) ions from aqueous solutions.
RELATIONSHIP OF IN-STORE BRANDS AND CONSUMER LOYALTY: EXPLORING OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR INDIAN RETAILERS

In Store Brands has become a tactical feature of the grocery retail industry. It is considered fairly that In Store Brands play a main role in creating consumer loyalty, but it is yet not been completely recognized. The intention of this paper is to establish relationship between ‘In Store Brands’ and Consumer loyalty while exploring opportunities and challenges for Indian retailers. In this paper, correlation simple and multiple regressions were carried out. The results confirm that an increase in ‘In Store Brands’ satisfaction influences consumer store loyalty towards a particular store and that particular attitude toward ‘In Store Brand’ products has a positive effect on the relationships between ‘In Store Brands’ loyalty leading to satisfaction. They also illustrate that this moderating effect is greater for an identifiable retail grocery store than for an unidentifiable retail grocery store. Further, research probes the relationship among the customer and diverse types of ‘In Store Brands’. It also assesses this relationship by focusing upon the influence of various product categories and working in other emotional variables like attachment, trust or price sensitivity, plus behavioral data. These findings emphasize the value of ‘In Store Brands’ and the consumer loyalty-building ability of their own brands, by distinctively addressing whether or not these are clearly acknowledged as brands of a store. This paper analyses the influence of ‘In Store Brands’ on store loyalty with three classic dimensions of Brand management (satisfaction, loyalty, and attitude). Not only this, but Exploring Opportunities and Challenges for Indian Retailers in another dimension which were covered in this paper.
