Transport Properties of Ordered and Disordered Doped Metallic Nanotubes
Authors: Singh Rekha
Published: November 2020

We have studied the transport properties of ordered and disordered doped metallic nanotubes. We have presented these properties in periodic chemically metallic nitrogen doped metallic nanotubes. Transport properties with long range correlation have been studied using the Green’s function formalism in the frame work of the tight binding approach with effective parameters. Resonant conduction behaviour and ballistic transport have been demonstrated for particular positions of the dopant. These doping patterns have been shown to preserve the Bloach like transport properties and then to avoid Anderson localisation. The conductance response was almost changed because one of the two conductance channels remains true for both armchair and chiral nanotubes. These result reproduce the electronic properties of periodic nitrogen doped graphene. The present result has been drawn for specific chemical substitution of carbon atoms by nitrogen. These remain qualitatively valid for other local modifications of the nanotube by other chemical species by covalent or noncovalent functionalization. The energy of the quasi bound state depend on the specific local modification. We have shown that both axial and screw periodicities gave rise to such a behaviour and that specific disorder preserve their ballistic transport in doped metallic carbon nanotube.

In the present study the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaC0:1 and respiratory rate (RR) were studied in pregnant and non-pregnant women in Dhaka city. Far this purpose a total 32 women for PaCO)and 100 women for RR with age ranging front 25 ...ears le 35 years without any recent history of respiratory diseases were selected. Normal pregnant women were taken as e.yperimental group and healthy nor-pregnant ...omen as return!. Data was collected during first trimester. second trimester and third trimester in pregnant women and also nompregnant women. The PaCOrwas determined by using 'EASY BLOOD GAS .0TO INALMER" and RR was recorded. The PaCO, and RR during different trimesters of pregnant .rumen were compared with that of non-pregnant 11.1101. Statistical analysis was drum with .tudents '1' rest. The PeCOr was significantly lower in first trimester, second trimester and third (rimester of pregnant women than that of non-pregnant women. Similarly, RR was significantly higher in first trimester. second trimester and third trimester of pregnant women than that of nonpregnant women. Again RR was significantly higher in third trimester than in first trimester and second trimester of pregnant women. There were no statistically significant difference of PaCO, among first trimester. second trimester and third trimester of pregnant women. Similarly, there were no statistically significant difference of RR between first trimester and second trimester of pregnant women. It may be concluded from the study that the progressively decreased PaCO• and increased RR throughout Me pregnancy were most likely MP be related to the effect of progesterone-induced hyperventilation. Hypermfilation in pregnancy is due to hypersensitivity of respiratory centre. Due to hyperventilation there is expel out of CO, miming decrease in PaC0r and increase in RR during pregnancy.

Authors: Tabassum N
Published: November 2020

The patient of chronic arsenic toxicity shows oxidative stress. To overcome the oxidative stress. several antioxidants such as fl-carotene, ascorbic acid, attocopherol, sine and selenium had been suggested. in the present study. universal antioxidant (both water and lipid soluble antioxidant) alpha-lipoic acid was used to examine the effectiveness of this thin( on arsenic metabolism. Alpha-lipoic acid increases the inethylation of inorganic arsenic and releases nionomethylarsenic acid (MMA) and dimethylarstatic acid (DMA) from the haracellular pool. These results suggest that alpha-lipoic acid increases metabolism of arsenic thereby reduces the concentration of arsenic from arsenic-loaded isolated liver tissues of rat.

Published: November 2020

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is the minimally invasive procedure to clear the disease process from nose and pansnasal sinuses like chronic maxillary sinusitis and to restore aeration and normal nutcocilliary function of sinuses. FESS has recently become a popular technique among the otolatyngologists of Bangladesh. The use of endoscope during FESS improves visualization, enables greater preservation of normal structures and reduces the necessity for wide exposure of operation fields. The result suggests that FESS is a safe and effective method in the treatment of chronic maxillary sinusitis. This study of 50 cases was done front January 2007 to December 2007 at Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College Hospital where FESS is routinely done for the management of chronic maxillary sinusitis. In this study, 76% (38) were completely free from symptom, 16% (08) improved, 4% (02) encountered recurrence of symptom and persistence of symptom observed in another 4% (02) cases. Most of the patients (62%) in this series of FESS were operated without facing any difficulties. Majority of the patients (94%) were released from the hospital within two days of FESS. No post-operative complication was found in 62% patients. FESS for inflammatory sinus diseases is now well established but one should be cautious about the complications associated with Otis technique.

Published: November 2020

Public services have become an important issue in Indonesia for more than a decade. One of them is health services, which is one of the basic needs whose provision must be held by the government as mandated in Article 28 H of the Constitution. For this reason, the Social Insurance Administration Organization (Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial, BPJS) was established on 1 January 2014. Are services to patients covered by BPJS satisfiying enough? This paper answers this question through literature studies and observations, comparing four hospitals in Java and two outside Java. It was found that there were still many problems in this service, and the most prominent was the queuing system that was unsatisfactory and too few staff and medical personnel and rooms compared to the increasing number of BPJS patients. In order to maintain public trust, the government needs to resolve this problem immediately

The history of the emergence of symbolic notation in mathematics in the 17th century and transformation of mathematical practice
Authors: Khlebalin Aleksandr , Tselishchev Vitaly
Published: November 2020

The article analyzes the intellectual and cultural preconditions that made it possible to create symbolic notation in mathematics of the 17th century. It is shown that the reprints of Euclid’s Elements in the XVI century formed an intellectual and cultural background that allowed Viet and Stevens to transform the classical concept of arithmos into a symbolic concept of number, which made the creation of symbolic notation possible. It is argued that the development of symbolic notation is not a simple change in the way of notation, but significantly changed the mathematical practice, making it possible to introduce new objects and through symbolic transformations.
Priming Uygulamalarının Farklı Gelişim Dönemlerindeki Patlıcan Tohumlarının Canlılık ve Kalitesi Üzerine Etkisi

Published: November 2020

Bu araştırmada, Kemer 27 patlıcan çeşidine ait tohumların hidropriming (HP), osmopriming (OP) ve termopriming (TP) uygulamalarının tohum kalitesi üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Kemer 27 (K) çeşidinin farklı olgunluk seviyelerinde hasat edilen (çiçeklenmeden sonraki 50,55,60,70,80 ve 90. gün) tohumları 35 ve 150C’de 8 saat (4:4 sa/karanlık-aydınlık koşulda) süre boyunca, %10’luk PEG-6000 ile OP, 35 ve 15 0C’de 8 saat (4:4 sa/karanlık-aydınlık koşulda) sürede saf su ile HP ve 50°C’de 2 farklı sürede (15 ve 30 dakika) su banyosunda TP işlemleri uygulanmıştır. Tüm kontrol ve uygulama gruplarında tohum nem miktarlarındaki değişim belirlenmiştir. Denemeler sonucunda, patlıcan tohumlarının priming uygulamaları ile canlılık (ortalama çimlenme oranı ve süresi, kök-sürgün uzunlukları, nem değişimleri) kriterleri değerlendirilmiştir. Genel olarak incelenen parametrelere göre priming olumlu etkisi tohumların olgunluğu ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. Yapılan Duncan testi sonuçlarına göre toplam ve normal çimlenme oranları (%) ile nem miktarları (%) açısından hasat zamanı, priming ve interkasiyonları arasındaki farklılığın istatistiki olarak değişken düzeylerde önemli (p≤0.05, 0.01) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kök ve sürgün uzunlukları (mm) bakımından ise hasat zamanları arasındaki farklılık istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p<0.01). Bu çalışma ile patlıcan tohumlarında kullanılan özellikle TP uygulaması diğer priming metotlarına göre çimlenme performansı üzerine daha etkili olmuştur. Kimyasal madde olmadan yapılan bu teknik girdi masraflarını da azalttığı için özellikle organik üretimde kullanılacak tohumlar için alternatif bir uygulama olarak önerilebilir.
Increasing the Efficiency in Renewable Energy Challenges and Solutions for Rural India
Authors: Acharya P. Sridhar , Aithal P. S.
Published: November 2020

It is very much true that people living in most of the rural areas depend on renewable energy resources for their daily domestic requirements. They either get an interrupted power supply from the traditional commercial electric supply or in some cases where the people living in a remote location may not get the traditional supply due to the distance. The people in the rural area already started using renewable energy resources for their daily needs. But it is seen that most of the rural area are potential to use many forms of renewable energy resources. There is a major requirement in combining more than one form of such energy to fulfill the needs. This paper explains the different methods of production of energy using the renewable resource in the rural area and a model to combine them to use the energy efficiently. This model suggests the controller to be designed which will use the energy produced from renewable energy efficiently. This controller has a responsibility to avoid the energy from the traditional method
as long as there is a supply of energy from renewable resources. The controller uses the
traditional energy only when there is no alternative energy supply from renewable energy.

Objectives: Patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) are immunocompromised and at an increased risk of developing infections. Our aim was to establish the clinical, laboratory, and radiological manifestations of respiratory viral infections in SCA at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH), Oman and assess its impact on disease morbidity and mortality, with special emphasis on H1N1. Methods: We undertook a retrospective study in SCA patients with respiratory viral infections following up at the hematology department at SQUH. We collected demographic data and clinical, radiological, and laboratory parameters. Results: In 84 SCA patients with 109 admission episodes for vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC), molecular diagnostic techniques confirmed 125 respiratory viral infections. Rhinovirus was the most prevalent infection (35.8%), whereas H1N1 virus infection was seen only in 10.1%. Laboratory investigations revealed a significant fall in mean hemoglobin levels, mean white blood cell, and platelet counts from baseline, whereas there was a significant rise in the mean lymphocyte and retic count, serum lactate dehydrogenase, and C-reactive protein levels during infective episodes (p < 0.050, Wilcoxon signed rank test). One-third (32.1%) of the VOC episodes progressed to acute chest syndrome (ACS), but in the H1N1 cohort, only two episodes of ACS was seen (18.2%). Conclusions: Rhinovirus was the commonest respiratory virus infections in SCA patients, whereas parainfluenza 3 was associated with a significant adverse outcome. H1N1 was associated with a mild course. ACS was seen in approximately one-third of this group of patients.
