Hybrid Renewable Energy System for Agriculture Irrigation

Hybrid (Solar & Wind) renewable power system can be used to preserve the non-renewable fossil fuels. The Photovoltaic-wind hybrid system profits the lowest unit cost values to sustain the same level of Deficiency of Power Supply Probability as compared to standalone solar and wind systems. For all load demands, the optimal energy cost for Photovoltaic-wind hybrid system is always lower than that of standalone solar PV or wind system. The Photovoltaic-wind hybrid system is best techno-economically practicable& achievable for agriculture irrigation system. This paper represents the hybrid energy system using solar and wind energy resources & multilevel converter for the control of agriculture irrigation system. The multilevel inverters are applied in high voltage PV power plant mainly due to the high voltage capability, low switching frequency, and low power losses. The power system is connected to a water pump to work as the agriculture irrigation system. The objective of this paper is to presents a simulation; modelling and analysing of a sevenlevel inverter operate on photovoltaic and wind power for agriculture irrigation system. Solar-wind hybrid renewable energy system for agriculture irrigation system control is an intelligent, small scale, and off grid lighting system. The advantage of this idea is to avoid daily running cost and make the system more independent.
Reactive oxygen radicals – the therapeutic effectiveness of antioxidants

Abstract Oxidative stress occurring in cells is a consequence of an excessive activity of reactive oxygen forms, resulting from an imbalance between the release of free oxygen radicals and their removal from the cell by antioxidant systems. 90% of reactive oxygen radicals emerge in mitochondrial respiratory chain during an incomplete four-electron oxygen reduction. The remaining 10% originate from different reactions occurring in the cell. The established compounds are characterised by a short half-life and are highly reactive. Sparse quantities of free oxygen radicals have a positive effect on cell functions. Oxidative stress leads to damage in cellular membranes, enzymatic and non-enzymatic proteins, as well as DNA. Therapy with antioxidants as exogenous dietary supplements aims at preventing or reducing the risk of development of diseases involving the presence of the oxygen radicals. Whether the antioxidant therapy will bring positive or negative effects depends on numerous factors that need to be considered before their inclusion in the applied treatment.
The Effect of Personality Type on Palliative Care Nursing Staff Stress Levels

Burnout syndrome was defined in 1976 by Maslach and Jackson, and there is evidence of its high impact on nursing personnel. The syndrome manifests most intensely among palliative care unit employees who assist elderly patients, owing to their constant exposure to patient deaths. The aim of this study is to determine whether palliative care unit nursing staff who treat terminal gerontology patients and who have certain personality traits are more susceptible to occupational stress. The study also determines the personality type that most significantly reduced vulnerability to occupational stress. Two questionnaires, the Maslach Burnout Inventory and Big Five Inventory, were applied to 162 nursing professionals working in Spain. The most relevant study findings are the following: Extroverted nurses tend to not express stress; the more sociable the caregiver is, the greater the degree of emotional fatigue he/she experiences; nurses who exhibit a higher degree of neuroticism show an average degree of emotional fatigue; and caregivers who exhibit high openness to change have low stress levels while experiencing a strong sense of success. From these results, an ideal personality profile for selecting palliative care unit nursing staff was developed.
A SECURE AND DYNAMIC MULTI-KEYWORD RANKED SEARCH SCHEMA OVER ENCRYPTED CLOUD DATA

: Due to the increasing popularity of cloud computing, more and more data owners are motivated to outsource their data to cloud servers for great convenience and reduced cost in data management. However, sensitive data should be encrypted before outsourcing for privacy requirements, which obsoletes data utilization like keyword-based document retrieval. In this paper, we present a secure multi-keyword ranked search scheme over encrypted cloud data, which simultaneously supports dynamic update operations like deletion and insertion of documents. Specifically, the vector space model and the widely-used TF_IDF model are combined in the index construction and query generation. We construct a special tree-based index structure and propose a “Greedy Depth-first Search” algorithm to provide efficient multi-keyword ranked search. The secure Knn algorithm is utilized to encrypt the index and query vectors, and meanwhile ensure accurate relevance score calculation between encrypted index and query vectors. In order to resist statistical attacks, phantom terms are added to the index vector for blinding search results. Due to the use of our special tree-based index structure, the proposed scheme can achieve sub-linear search time and deal with the deletion and insertion of documents flexibly. Extensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed scheme.
Experiments of Ultrasonic Sensing Using FBG Sensors

This research aims at investigating the response characteristics of fiber Bragg grating sensors (FBGs) to ultrasonic signals. The testing system was set up with a tunable laser source and the FBGs installed on the surface of an aluminum plate. Then the response characteristics of FBGs were compared, in condition of putting the ultrasonic driving source in the different longitudinal, lateral and angular separation. Measurements were taken by changing the distance between the sensor and the transducer from 60 mm to 200 mm with a step of 20 mm. Then keeping the distance at 100 mm and 200 mm respectively, do the angular experiment with the angle from 0° to 90° by the step of 10°. Experiment results show that FBG can get better signals when the transducer is along its axial direction. When the location of the transducer is changed linearly, no obvious linear change of the signal strength has been found.
The Anti-Obesity Effects of Green Tea: A Controlled, Randomized, Clinical Trial

Background: Obesity is a global health threatening issue with increasing prevalence in the developed and developing world. The limited efficacy and side effects of conventional treatments motivated the researchers to look for novel, safe, and effective therapeutic strategies. Objectives: The current study aimed at investigating the anti-obesity effects of green tea in a population in North of Iran. Methods: The current single-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel, clinical trial was conducted in Guilan outpatient clinic in Rasht, Iran, from January to December 2015. Eligible subjects were randomly allocated into 2 groups of green tea and control. In the GT Group, a cup of green tea and in the C group an equal amount of mineral water was taken 30 minutes after breakfast and lunch. The outcomes including body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), hip circumference, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio were measured at baseline, as well as 8 and 12 weeks after the intervention (T0,T_1, T_2). Results: Finally, data obtained from 84 cases in groups GT (n = 41) and C (n = 43) were analyzed. No significant difference was observed in terms of baseline demographics and measurements between the 2 groups including male/female (P = 0.766), age (P = 0.376), weight (P = 0.846), height (P = 0.413), waist circumference (P = 0.619), hip circumference (P = 0.619), and waist-to-hip ratio (P = 0.301). According to the intragroup analyses, the trend of changes from baseline to 12 weeks after intervention were significant in both groups (P = 0.001); BW (79.88 ± 7.06 to 72.44 ± 6.82 kg) and (80.21 ± 7.16 to77.07 ± 7.22 kg) , BMI (29.95 ± 1.79 to 26.86 ± 2.59 kg/m2) and (29.69 ± 2.1 to 27.07 ± 2.22 kg/m2) , waist circumference (87.77±6.06 to 83.913 ± 6.13 cm) and (86.94 ± 8.05 to 85.23 ± 7.89 cm), and hip circumference (102.41 ± 7.35 to 98.3 ± 7.54 cm) and (101.02 ± 8.47 to 99.31 ± 8.81 cm) in GT and C groups, respectively. However no such difference was observed in waist/hip ratio in the GT and C groups (P = 0.087) and (P = 0.322), respectively. A significant difference was observed at T1 (P = 0.024 and P = 0.025) and T2 (P = 0.025 and P = 0.006), according to weight and BMI, respectively. However, the differences were not statistically significant based on the other variables. Conclusions: Green tea could be a safe and effective choice for patients with obesity. However, further well-designed trials are required to confirm these findings.

Agriculture and Industrial Sector Growth in Pakistan: The Role of Human and Physical Capital

This study is an attempt to capture the impact of human capital and physical capital on agricultural and industrial growth in Pakistan. On annual time series data for the years 1970-2012, ARDL bound testing approach has been employed. The sensitivity analysis and CUSUM test is used for the robustness of the estimated coefficients.The results have shown that human and physical capital haspositive impact on agricultural growth. The role of human capital is stronger than physical capital. Similarly the agricultural price policies and land utilization for agriculture increases the agricultural growth. However, general inflation decreases the agricultural growth. For the industrial sector the human capital and physical capital both positively contribute in growth. However, the contribution of physical capital is almost two times than human capital. The urbanization also increases the industrial growth but exchange rate has negative impact on industrial growth.

Usefulness of CD10 Study by Multi-Colour Flow Cytometry in Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma.

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a distinct clinicopathological entity among peripheral T-cell lymphoma in the WHO classification. Whereas antigen “loss” or “deletion” of one or several pan-T cell antigens is a hepful feature of neoplastic lymphocytes in many T-cell lymphomas, no specific immunophenotypic patterns were available to recognize the tumour T-cells of AITL until recently. Indeed, Attygalle et al. reported that in this disorder neoplastic T-cells can be recognized by the aberrant expression of CD10 using immunochemistry in lymph nodes as well as in the involved extranodal sites. Lee et al. has also confirmed this specific phenotypic feature in cell suspension of lymph nodes using flow cytometry (FCM) in 3 cases of AITL. Here, we evaluated the CD10 expression by T cells in patients with AITL using four-colour FCM. The present study included lymph nodes (LN, n=10), peripheral blood (PB, n=5), bone marrow (n=1) and skin (n=1) samples from 13 patients with a diagnosis of AITL and with available cytologic histologic, immunologic and molecular data. Lymph nodes of reactive hyperplasia (n=13), B-cell lymphoma (n=23), other T-cell lymphoma (n=6) and peripheral blood from healthy donors (n=18) were used as control group. According with previous immunohistochemistry results, a fraction of T-cells expressed CD10 (using a level of at least 5% of all CD5+ cells) in 9/10 AITL lymph nodes with a mean number of 18%. Interestingly, among these 9 cases, 5 could be studied in peripheral blood also and all cases showed a fraction of T-cells expressing CD10, whatever be the lymphocytosis (median 1.1 10 9 /l range 0.82 to 11.32 10 9 /l). In three of these cases, tumoral T-cells presented also lack of surface CD3. In two cases of AITL diagnosed in LN, the aberrant CD10 expression by T-cells was found in bone marrow and skin, respectively. In the control group, T-cells were CD10 negative using the cut-off of 5%. In conclusion, we demonstrate that the assessment of CD10 expression by neoplastic T-cells can be achieved by multi-colour FCM in lymph nodes and involved extranodal sites. Our results are concordant with the statement of Attygalle that CD10 expression by T-cells can be used as a marker of both malignancy and AITL type. In addition, this is to our knowledge the first description of circulating CD10 neoplastic T-cells in AITL. Further study with a larger series of patients is required to confirm these data, to standardize the cut-off of positivity and to evaluate the sensibility of FCM versus immunohistochemistry.
Preliminary study on the practice of gonad shielding during pelvic radiography

Objective: To investigate the practice and attitudes of Medical radiologic technologists (MRTs’)/radiographers on the use of Gonad shielding (GS)in pediatric radiological imaging. Methods: A questionnaire regarding MRTs’ attitudes and on the use of Gonad shielding was developed based on relevant literatures and distributed to MRTs/ radiographers working in general radiography at Black Lion and St. Paul hospitals in a study period from June to August 2014. Descriptive (percentage of frequency) study was used to analyze the responses of the multiple choices. A separate questionnaire was prepared to evaluate the practice of GS in these two hospitals. Results: The radiographers had shown a positive attitude towards using GS, however none of them used it in daily practice for a various reason such as (GS may obscure region of interest 11.1%, uncooperative patient 16.7%, too busy 13.9%, GS not available 27.8% and no appropriate size GS 27.8%). The investigators had also reviewed 94 abdominal-pelvic radiographs and none was taken with application of GS. Conclusion: Although the radiographers had a positive attitude, none of them had applied GS while taking plain radiographs and/or CT scan in and around the gonads. Updates on their knowledge on gonadal shielding and enforcing every medical imaging technologist to comply with hospital protocols are recommended.

Skills Acquisition Shortfall: A Study of Professional Accounting Education

Previously, there was a paucity of empirical literature to illustrate the educators’ performance of professional accounting institutions in Pakistan. Therefore, this research investigates the skills acquisition shortfall in professional accounting institutes of Pakistan. In this regard, independent sample t-test and principal component analysis is employed to draw statistical findings. Out of the 35 investigated skills, 24 skills were found to be undeveloped in students for employment purposes benchmarked against employers’ expectations. Further, this research has proposed a skills acquisition framework comprising of 6 components of skills. These components of skills now could be viewed as a skills acquisition framework from professional accounting education perspective.
Proteína morfogenética ósea y su opción como tratamiento de la fisura alveolar

RESUMEN:La proteína morfogenética ósea (BMP), es una proteína endógena que ha mostrado efectos significativos en la promoción de la formación ósea. El uso de BMP ha sido descrito en la reconstrucción de defectos óseos de origen traumáticos y patoló gicos, incluyendo la fisura alveolar, el aumento de reborde alveolar, la elevación de seno maxilar, el injerto de alveolo post-extracc ión, y la cirugía perimplantaria entre otros. A pesar de las ventajas asociadas al uso de BMP y que en la actualidad se aplica en combinación con matri es de colágeno, ciertas propiedades tales como su baja resistencia mecánica y su elevada tasa de liberación inicial disminuyen su efi cacia en la formación ósea. En este contexto, el desarrollo de nuevos sistemas de liberación prolongada de BMP que permitan la quimiotaxis de células mesenquimáticas y su posterior diferenciación a osteoblastos representa un desafío con alto potencial clínico para la estimulac ión de la formación ósea. En este trabajo, se describe el uso de BMP en la reconstrucción de fisuras alveolares y en particular se discut en las ventajas de su administración en micropartículas poliméricas como sistemas de liberación de BMP (rhBMP-2) con promisorias aplicaciones en l estimulación de la formación ósea.
Oesophageal Cancer : strategies to improve outcomes, and identify novel immunological biomarkers and targets

FACULTY OF MEDICINE Doctor of Philosophy Oesophageal Cancer: strategies to improve outcomes, and identify novel immunological biomarkers and targets By Fergus Noble Oesophageal cancer is the most rapidly increasing cancer in the western world, the 6 most common cause of cancer death and is associated with a 5-year survival of less than 15%. This thesis aims to address current clinical issues in the management of patients with oesophageal cancer in an attempt to improve outcomes. We have assessed the impact of recent innovations in staging and minimally invasive surgery, and suggest potential novel immunological targets and biomarkers to predict response to chemotherapy, morbidity following surgery, and survival. The impact of positron emission tomography computed tomography in staging was observed in a multi-centre United Kingdom setting and found an additional 9% of occult distant metastases compared to traditional staging methods, justifing its use by reducing the radical treatment of patients with metastatic disease. Minimally invasive oesophagectomy has been recently introduced into practice in a few specialist centres and we compare minimally invasive with open Ivor Lewis oesophagectomy showing there to be no detriment when compared directly for short and medium term outcomes. With regard to improving morbidity we developed and prospectively validated a novel scoring system, based on markers of the systemic inflammatory response, to predict major complications and anastomotic leak earlier than standard postoperative care. Both neoadjuvant chemotherapy and oesophagectomy are associated with significant morbidity. To improve outcomes further we firstly define what represents a significant immunopathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, suggesting that both the response in the tumour and lymph node is adopted as a method to evaluate tumour regression, as it is these patients that have a significant benefit. We highlight immunonutritional blood-borne markers that predict both long-term survival and response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In terms of novel treatments for oesophageal cancer, immunotherapy remains attractive. Current immunotherapies have not delivered significant results in solid tumours, the reasons for this being multifactorial but include the ability of the tumour to evade the immune response. We define the local tumour inflammatory environment and specific target tumour antigens, cancer testis antigens, as potential cancer vaccine targets and biomarkers in oesophageal adenocarcinoma.
Pregnancy outcome and early postnatal weights in diabetic and non-diabetic pregnant rats administered ethanolic extract of Ocimum gratissimum leaves during pregnancy

Extract of Ocimum gratissimum (OG), also known as scent leaf, is popularly used to treat diabetes mellitus and its hypoglycaemic activity has been confirmed by in vivo studies. The aim was to investigate the effect of this extract on placenta development and birth outcome in diabetic pregnancy. Forty two pregnant rats weighing 150-200 g were used. They were divided into control and extract treated diabetic and non-diabetic groups with 6 rats in each subgroup. Extract treated groups were administered 200 and 400 mg/kg of ethanolic extract of OG orally after the induction of diabetes by administration of alloxan monohydrate after an overnight fast. Treatment commenced in the second trimester and lasted till end of pregnancy. On day 18 of pregnancy, 3 rats from each group were sacrificed and placentae harvested and weighed. On the day of delivery, birth weight and other parameters were recorded. Results show that OG administration caused a significant decrease in placental weights, birth weights, litter sizes and placental-birth weight ratio in both diabetic and non-diabetic pregnancy. In conclusion, the observed decrease in placenta-birth weight ratios may suggest a protective beneficial effect of this extract against macrosomia in diabetic pregnancies and increased risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. Key words: Ocimum gratissimum, gestational diabetes, placenta-birth weight ratio, pregnancy outcome, postnatal growth.
The Revival of an Old Assailant with Oral Implications

Syphilis is among the primogenital documented sexually transmitted diseases (STD). In the past decade, its incidence has levitated significantly in the urbanized world. Oral syphilitic lesions, the most common extragenital insignia of infection, pose a diagnostic challenge to dentists, who are frequently the first to observe them. Oral lesions in secondary stage syphilis are particularly common in association with general symptoms and cutaneous eruptions. However, an exclusive oral localization, not associated with general manifestations, is uncommon. We report a case of a 19-year-old male patient with isolated oral ulceration as the sole presentation of secondary syphilis. Keywords: Secondary syphilis, split papule, STD.
