CIRCULATING SERUM ADIPONECTIN AND OXIDATIVE STRESS BIOMARKERS IN PREDIABETES AND TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS

Objectives: Adipocytokines and oxidative stress have been independently studied in various morbidities, but their interrelationship in mediating insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus is still unclear. Thus, the present study was aimed at evaluating malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in pre-diabetes and diabetics and correlating it with adiponectin levels. Methods: Fifty controls, 50 pre-diabetic, and 50 diabetic patients were enrolled. Plasma MDA, uric acid, and adiponectin were measured in the blood samples. Serum MDA adiponectin was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and uric acid was analyzed by uricase method. Results: Pre-diabetic and diabetic patients had higher levels of MDA and uric acid, while the level of adiponectin was low compared to controls. Correlation of MDA was positive with uric acid but negative with adiponectin in diabetic patients. Likewise, adiponectin and uric acid were also correlated negatively. In pre-diabetes, adiponectin was significantly and negatively correlated with MDA and uric acid. Conclusions: Pre-diabetic and diabetic patients have increased oxidative stress, which is also linked with adipokine abnormalities. From this study, we observed that oxidative stress suppresses adiponectin production which is the protective adipokine in hyperglycemia. Thus, oxidative stress may serve as an indicator or target for in the control of hyperglycemic stress.

Response of Split Application of Nutrients through Fertigation on Nutrients Uptake, Nutrient and Water Use Efficiency and Yield of Pigeon pea

Pigeon pea is a pulse crop belongs to the family leguminoceae (Fabaceae) and it is a multipurpose legume with a long tradition of cultivation over three thousand years. It is the most widely grown crop in the country in tropic and sub tropics region and has been considered as a second most important pulse crop after chickpea. India has virtual monopoly in pigeon pea production accounting to 90% of world’s total production. In India alone, pigeon pea are grown in about 3.90million hectares, with a production of 3.17 million ton, however the average productivity is only 813kgha -1 . A field investigation entitled "Response of pigeon pea to different drip fertigation levels” was carried out at Department of Agronomy Farm, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during the kharif season of 2016-17. The experiment was laid out in Randomised Block Design with four replications and eight different irrigation and fertigation treatments imposed for pigeon pea crop with an objective to study the response of split application of N, P and K on nutrients uptake, water and nutrient use efficiency and yield of Pigeon pea. The experimental site was established with inline drip irrigation system (16 mm) lateral laid out at 90 cm with 30 cm dripper spacing. Irrigation water was applied through drip irrigation system on every alternate day at the rate of 100 per cent crop evapotranspiration level. Experiment results revealed that, in pigeon pea, the nutrients uptake was favourably increased with higher level of fertigation compared with lower levels and soil application method. At all the stages of crop growth, higher uptake of N, P and K were observed at 125:100:100 per cent levels of N, P and K fertigation. Progressive increase in applied level of N, P and K correspondingly increased the nutrient uptake and lower uptake was noticed in conventional method of fertilizer application in furrow irrigation. Water use efficiency was markedly improved by drip fertigation at higher level compared to conventional soil application. However, NUE showed a declining trend with increasing level of N, P and K, but higher NUE in drip fertigation was observed than conventional method of fertilizer application. As a consequence of better nutrient uptake and WUE, drip fertigation at 125:100:100 per cent recommended dose of NPK ha -1 had recorded higher pigeon-pea seed yield of 3866 kg ha -1 . It could be concluded that application of 125:100:100 per cent recommended dose of N, P and K in five splits found to be best for better uptake of nutrients, WUE and maximizing the pigeon pea yield through fertigation.

Design and Implementation of Wide Range PLL Using Self Healing Prescaler/VCO

: The performance of the CMOS circuit decreases with the variability and leakage current. To accommodate this issue a wide range Phase Lock Loop (PLL), a self-healing prescaler, a self-healing voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), are presented. The main reason for changes in variability and leakage current is temperature that operates in 100 0 C. The undesired leakage currents degrade the accuracy and resolution of analog circuits and make digital dynamic circuits not to work properly. This self-healing prescaler and self-healing voltage-controlled oscillator detect the leakage current itself and compensate that leakage current automatically. To implement this technology used is in nano scale that is used here is 65nm.

Power Quality Improvement in Grid Connected Wind Energy System

Renewable energy resources (RES) are being increasingly connected in distribution systems utilizing power electronic converters. This paper presents a novel control strategy for achieving maximum benefits from these grid-interfacing inverters when installed in 3-phase 4-wire distribution systems. The inverter is controlled to perform as a multi-function device by incorporating active power filter functionality. The inverter can thus be utilized as: 1) power converter to inject power generated from RES to the grid, and 2) shunt APF to compensate current unbalance, load current harmonics, load reactive power demand and load neutral current. All of these functions may be accomplished either individually or simultaneously. With such a control, the combination of grid-interfacing inverter and the 3-phase 4-wire linear/non-linear unbalanced load at point of common coupling appears as balanced linear load to the grid. This new control concept is demonstrated with extensive MATLAB/Simulink simulation studies and validated through digital signal processor-based laboratory experimentalresults.

File Sharing between Peer-to-Peer using Network Coding Algorithm

coding is a good improvement of network routing to improve network throughput and provide high reliability. It allows a node to generate output messages by encoding its received messages. Peer-to-peer networks are a perfect place to apply network coding due to two reasons: 1. in peer-to-peer network, the topology is not fixed. So, it is very much easier to create the topology which suits the network coding; 2. Peer-to-peer network every nodes are end hosts, so it is easier to perform the complex operation related to network coding like decoding and encoding rather than storing and forwarding the message. In this paper, as propose an algorithm to apply network coding algorithm to peer-to-peer file sharing which employs a peer-to-peer network to distribute files resided in a web server or a file server. The scheme exploits a special type of network topology called combination network. It was proved that combination networks can achieve unbounded network coding gain measured by the ratio of network throughput with network coding to that without network coding. Here network coding algorithm encodes a file into multiple messages and divides peers into multiple groups with each group responsible for relaying one of the messages. The encoding algorithm is designed to satisfy the property that any subset of the messages can be used to decode the original file as long as the size of the subset is sufficiently large. To meet this requirement, here first define an algorithm which satisfies the desired property, and then connect peers in the same group to flood the corresponding message, and connect peers in different groups to distribute messages for decoding. This paper has considered number of theoretical and practical scenarios where network coding or its variant is applied on peer-to-peer file sharing based on Network coding with the aim to improve performance parameters like throughput and reliability. This paper has mainly focused on the comparative analysis of file sharing between peer-to-peer using network coding algorithms. KeywordsCoding Algorithm, Peer-to-Peer Networks, Web-

Risk factors for legal blindness in primary open angle glaucoma

RISK FACTORS FOR LEGAL BLINDNESS IN PRIMARY OPEN ANGLE GLAUCOMA (POAG), Karanjit S. Kooner, M.D. Context* POAG is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Factors associated with the damage, progression of the disease and related blindness are poorly understood. Objective^ To determine characteristics of patients with POAG that are associated with either a higher risk for blindness or preservation of visual function. Design: Prospective observational comparative cohort study. Participants: In all, 487 (974 eyes) consecutive incoming patients with POAG were followed for 5.5 ± 3.6 years. Exclusion criteria were l) secondary glaucoma, 2) ocular conditions that would interfere with proper diagnosis and management, and 3) less than 3 months follow-up. Methods: Seventy-seven pieces of information were collected on each patient and updated at every six monthly visit. Comparisons were done between 1) patients with no legal blindness (NLB) and those with legal blindness (LB); 2) stable NLB patients and those who progressed! 3) the affected eye and non-affected eye of patients with unilateral blindness! and 4) initial presenting data of new patients. Setting: Academic (Clinic A), county hospital (Clinic B), and a Veterans Affairs hospital (Clinic C) providing primary, secondary, and tertiary care. Main Outcome Measures: 1) Development of legal blindness in one or both eyes and 2) progression of glaucoma in one or both eyes. Results: Compared to NLB group, LB group features were: higher mean initial intraocular pressure (IOP), (p = 0.03), late detection (p = 0.006), wide variation of IOP in the follow-up period (5.9 vs 4.1 mmHg, p = 0.031), poor control of IOP (p < 0.0001) and non-compliance (p < 0.0003). Conclusions: This study suggests that some of the risk factors for legal blindness in POAG are related to the level of initial IOP, late detection of the disease, poor control of IOP and non-compliance.
