Majority of the organization uses cloud for storage purpose in order to reduce the cost as well as maintenance. Due to increasing threat from internal and external sources, there would be possibility of corruption in the cloud storage files. Thus the storage must to be monitored periodically for integrity checking. Since most of the Data Owners have limited resources thus the responsibility of integrity checking goes to the Third Party Auditors (TPA). Usually the static way of deciding to use particular hash tree methodology to store the cloud storage meta-data, which is mainly used for integrity checking throughout is inappropriate for two main reasons, firstly, due to more fluctuated loss or corrupted cloud data, secondly, based on the variations in the number of files in the cloud users’ directory; Initially the static approach would be good but it may not be optimal solution at the later period. therefore, in this paper, we have proposed Adaptive Integrity Checking method (AIC), which would lead a way for adaptive dynamic hash tree methodology for holding the cloud storage meta-data; which would drastically increases the performance of integrity checking in terms of both time and space complexity besides the benefits obtained in the EDHT-n version and HEDHT methodologies of handling the cloud storage integrity checking.

In this paper, we show an image processing algorithm with its capabilities in detecting the corrosion. This algorithm is programmed and requires no parameter modification and no previous knowledge of image acquisition process because function evaluates their parameters. Digital image processing technique proposed to avoid such incident occurrences. Combining Poisson-Gaussian- Mixture distribution with a Fuzzy segmentation framework an algorithm is developed to clutch image information. Artificial neural network and gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) utilized to recognize the corrosion. The developed algorithm can be used in the ROV to detect the corrosion spots. The algorithm results exhibit the sufficiency in perceives corroded spots. Using image processing the corrosion detection process can be automated with a monitoring software setup which can generate an alert based on corrosion severity. Using image processing the infrastructure’s corrosion evaluation effort will be minimized, and presenting the result statistics is easier. In application point of view, we can extend the algorithm capabilities to the fatigue crack detection.

Shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams (RC-beams) is proved to be influenced by different parameters such as web reinforcement, beam size, shear span-to-depth ratio, concrete strength, and longitudinal reinforcement. In addition to these parameters, researches acknowledge the significant contribution of side-face reinforcement (SFR) in shear strength of RC-beams. This paper aims at proposing a new model for predicting shear strength of RC-beams that accounts for the contribution of SFR in shear strength along with the other above-mentioned parameters. An explicit formula is derived based on a mechanical conceptual model that considers the variation of the inclination angle of diagonal shear cracking. The derived formula is verified on the basis of numerical analysis results in addition to the available results from relevant experimental researches in literature. Reliability of the proposed formula is investigated compared to design provisions in different codes. Results demonstrates that the proposed formula is more capable of predicting shear strength of RC-beams provided with SFR rather than shear design codes. Consistency of the proposed formula in predicting shear strength implies that the mechanical concept, on which the proposed formula is derived, is in consistent with the actual mechanical behavior.

Performance of vapour compression refrigeration depends on refrigeration effect and power utilization of the compressor. The present work focuses on reduction in power utilization of the compressor and enhancement in refrigeration effect with the supplement of silicon nitride (Si3N4) nanoparticles (NP) to the compressor lubricant polyolester (POE) oil. Also the performance of the water cooler has been compared with the addition of tetra butyl ammonia iodide (TBAI) surfactant to the nanolubricant. Thermophysical properties of the modified POE and POE/Si3N4NP/surfactant were found before experimentation to select the optimum concentration for the performance evaluation. Test results showed that the maximum thermal conductivity was improved by 31.06% for nanolubricant and 30.5% for nanolubricant with surfactant at 0.6% vol concentration. It is also seen that the viscosity has been enhanced maximum at 0.6% vol. concentration and for the same concentration the friction coefficient has been reduced by 7% and 11% for nanolubricant and nanolubricant with surfactant. Further the performance was evaluated with nanolubricant and nanolubricant/surfactant and the results were compared. It is found that the coefficient of performance (COP) has been enhanced by 36.39% and 29.6% for nanolubricant and nanolubricant/surfactant. Also the performance of the water cooler was investigated after 30 days and the results were in accordance with the initial results. Hence the experimentation shows that the addition of Si3N4 nanoadditives to the POE oil enhances the working of the water cooler.

The classification of pathological voice is a hot topic that has been expected significant consideration. Voice pathology is related with a vocal folds difficulty, and for this reason, the vocal tract area which is joined to vocal folds demonstrate random patterns in case of a pathological voice. This random pattern is considered to distinguish healthy and pathological voices. It is possible to utilize transmission line theory in discovering automatic voice pathology detection by taking into consideration the vocal tract as acoustic lines. The work concentrates on developing a feature extraction for detecting and classifying vocal fold polyp by investigating different vocal tract parameters. In this paper, the vocal tract length and area are utilized for computing electrical parameters of the vocal tract. Furthermore, these electrical parameters are used for the classification of pathological voice. Finally, using electrical parameters 97.3% accuracy is obtained with SVM classifier when compared with 88.2% with the acoustic parameters, 85.3% accuracy considering physical parameters and other methods used in the past. The outcomes demonstrate that electrical parameters of the vocal tract can be utilized all the more successfully with better precision in voice pathology identification.

Multiple sequence alignment of 5’UTR of SSP genes from accessions of Fagopyrum esculentumrevealed the invariant nature of sequences with the transcription start site at P761and TATA box located -30bp upstream the TSS. Other cis-elements identified in the sequences included the legumin box (-581, -524, -184, -135, -91), the -131 prolamin box, DOF element (-718, -649, -540,-432, -272,-225, -128) and CAAT box (-692, -530, -475, -411, -282, -168, -54). Other elements identified included those involved in abscisic acid signallingviz., ABI3 at P-470,-95,-68,RAV1 at P-694and -543and AGL15 at P-671. A comparative analysis of regulatory elements of SSP gene promoters of distantly related species the presence of five cis-regulatory elements viz.

Other modulators influencing seed specific gene expression detected in the sequences included the  ABA-responsive elements ABI3, RAV1 and AGL15 which play an integral role in seed maturation. Identification of potential nucleosome binding sites in SSP gene promoters of Cicer arietinum, Brassica napus, B. campestris, Vicia faba, and Pisum sativumat positions 78, 635, 195, 112 and 152 respectively surmises the spatial fine tuning of SSP gene transcriptional regulation in these species. On the other hand, absence of nucleosome binding sites in the promoters of Fagopyrum esculentum, Zea mays, Avena sativa, Triticum aestivum and Oryza sativamay indicate relatively easier access of transcription factors to the proximal promoter, thereby providing higher level of gene expression.

Authors: Kumara K. H. C. H , Wathugala D. L. , Hafeel R. F.
Published: September 2019

Purpose: Around the world nano calcite (NC) is used as an environmental friendly foliar fertilizer to enhance yield of many crops. In Sri Lankan context this fertilizer has not yet been tested for crops. Therefore, this study examined the effect of foliar application of NC on yield, yield components, seed quality and insect resistivity of rice and the interaction effect of NC foliar fertilizer with different rates of soil added fertilizer.Research Method: Field experiments were conducted in 2015/2016 Maha and 2016 Yala seasons at the Regional Rice Research Institute, Ambalanthota, Sri Lanka. The rice variety used for the study was At 362. Four levels of nano calcite (0, 50, 100 and 150ppm) with 3 levels of soil added fertilizers (recommended fertilizer mixture, 25% over and above the recommendation) were tested. Data was collected at 30, 60 and 90 days after transplanting and at the harvesting.Findings: It was found that the application of nano calcite foliar fertilizer has positive effects on growth, yield, seed quality and insect resistivity. Hundred ppm nano calcite treatment with recommended soil added fertilizer could increase the final yield approximately about 1 ton/ha. Twenty five percent reduction or increment of soil added fertilizer than the recommended level with the application of nano calcite foliar fertilizer did not showed any significant yield variation. However, higher concentrations of nano calcite greatly reduce the pest damages to the crop.Originality/ value: Results of the experiment revealed that nano calcite foliar application can increase rice yield to a certain extent. However, further experiments need to be done to ensure the sustainability of the application.

Thanks to the manifold dermal substitute available nowadays, wound treatment has improved greatly. Many studies have been published about angiogenesis and cell invasion in INTEGRA®. On the other hand, the development of the lymphatic network in acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is a more obscure matter. In this article, we aim to characterize the different phases of host cell invasion in ADM. Special attention was given to lymphangiogenic aspects. Materials and Methods: Among 57 rats selected to analyse the role of ADM in lymphangiogenesis, we created four groups. We performed an excision procedure on both thighs of these rats: On the left one we did not perform any action except repairing the borders of the wound; while on the right one we used INTEGRA® implant. The excision biopsy was performed at four different times: First group after 7 days, second after 14 days, third after 21 days and fourth after 28 days. For our microscopic evaluation, we used the classical staining technique of haematoxylin and eosin and a semi-quantitative method in order to evaluate cellularity counts. To assess angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis development we employed PROX-1 Ab and CD31/PECAM for immunohistochemical analysis. Results: We found remarkable wound contraction in defects that healed by secondary intention while minor wound contraction was observed in defects treated with ADM. At day 7, optical microscopy revealed a more plentiful cellularity in the granulation tissue compared with the dermal regeneration matrix. The immunohistochemical process highlighted vascular and lymphatic cells in both groups. After 14 days a high grade of fibrosis was noticeable in the non-treated group. At day 21, both lymphatic and vascular endothelial cells were better developed in the group with a dermal matrix application. At day 28, lymphatic endothelial cells had organized themselves, engineering the pseudocylindrical structure better disposed in the ADM group than in the control group, and the lymphatic cells were detectable inside the vessels’ lumen in this group. Conclusion: This study has made it possible to demonstrate the absolute importance of an ADM in proper wound healing and has shown better definition of both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of lymphangiogenesis compared to the second intention healing. A major grade of organization of the extracellular matrix and a minor grade of fibrosclerosis in ADM allowed a well-structured morphologic and functional development of the endothelial and lymphatic vascular structures. This study hopes to represent a clinical basis for a wider use of ADM in lesions where lymphatic complications are common.

Background: Non-syndromic Tessier no. 2 and 3 facial clefts primarily affect the nasal complex. The anatomy of such clefts is such that the ala of the nose has a cleft. Repairing the ala presents some challenges to the surgeon, especially to correct the shape and missing tissue. Various techniques have been considered to repair these cleft defects. Aim: We present two surgical options to repair such facial clefts. Materials and Methods: A nasal dorsum rotational flap was used to treat patients with Tessier no. 2 clefts. This is a local flap that uses tissue from the dorsal surface of the nose. The advantage of this flap design is that it helps move the displaced ala of a Tessier no. 2 cleft into its normal position. A forehead-eyelid-nasal transposition flap design was used to treat patients with Tessier no. 3 clefts. This flap design includes three prongs that are rotated downward. A forehead flap is rotated into the area above the eyelid, the flap from above the eyelid is rotated to infra-orbital area and the flap from the infraorbital area that includes the free nasal ala of the cleft is rotated into place. Results and Conclusions: These two flap designs show good results and can be used to augment the treatment options for repairing Tessier no. 2 and 3 facial clefts.

Published: September 2019

Background: Axillary post-burn scar contracture is a challenging problem to the reconstructive surgeon owing to the wide range of abduction that should be achieved. The aim of this paper was to highlight the various options used in managing axillary contractures in our hospital. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective hospital-based study of axillary contractures managed at Safdarjung Hospital (a tertiary care hospital) from 2009 to 2013.The study consisted of 44 patients from all age group and both sex included in it. Patients with a bilateral axillary contracture were excluded. Axillary contracture was released and resurfaced using split skin graft and/or with different types of flaps including the propeller flap, parascapular flap. All the reconstructed cases were followed-up for a period of 12 months. Assessment was done on the basis of functional and aesthetic outcome. Results: Forty-four patients consisting of 25 males and 19 females presented with axillary contractures that involved 44 axillae. The mean age of the study group was 17.1 years. Injuries involved the anterior axillary fold in 8 (18.18%), posterior fold in ten (22.72%), both folds and axillary fossa in 14 (31.81%) and both folds plus part of the chest wall and arm (sparing the axillary fossa) in 12 (27.27%) axillae. Surgical treatment included split-thickness skin graft in 15 (34.1%), local skin flaps in 4 (9.1%), Z-plasties in 4 (9.1%), parascapular flaps in 3 (6.82%), while propeller flaps in 12 (27.27%) and square flap were used in 6 (13.64%) patients. The percentage of improvement in abduction had a mean of 156°. The functional and aesthetic results were satisfactory. Conclusion: The choice of surgical procedure for reconstruction of post-burn axillary contractures can be made according to the pattern of scar contracture and the state of the surrounding skin. The choice of a flap should have priority over the skin graft because of the superior functional and aesthetic results of flaps.
Fibrous dysplasia and cherubism
Authors: Bhattacharya Surajit , Mishra R K
Published: September 2019

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a non-malignant fibro-osseous bony lesion in which the involved bone/bones gradually get converted into expanding cystic and fibrous tissue. The underlying defect in FD is post-natal mutation of GNAS1 gene, which leads to the proliferation and activation of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells arresting the bone development in woven phase and ultimately converting them into fibro-osseous cystic tissue. Cherubism is a hereditary form of fibrous dysplasia in which the causative factor is transmission of autosomal dominant SH3BP2 gene mutation. The disease may present in two distinct forms, a less severe and limited monostotic form, and a more aggressive and more widespread polyostotic form. Polyostotic form may be associated with various endocrine abnormalities, which require active management apart from the management of FD. Management of FD is not free from controversies. While total surgical excision of the involved area and reconstruction using newer micro-vascular technique is the only definitive treatment available from the curative point of view, but this can be only offered to monostotic and very few polyostotic lesions. In polyostotic varieties on many occasions these radical surgeries are very deforming in these slow growing lesions and so their indication is highly debated. The treatment of cranio-facial fibrous dysplasia should be highly individualized, depending on the fact that the clinical behavior of lesion is variable at various ages and in individual patients. A more conservative approach in the form of aesthetic recontouring of deformed bone, orthodontic occlusal correction, and watchful expectancy may be the more accepted form of treatment in young patients. Newer generation real-time imaging guidance during recontouring surgery adds to accuracy and safety of these procedures. Regular clinical and radiological follow up is required to watch for quiescence, regression or reactivation of the disease process. Patients must be warned and watched for any sign of nerve compression, especially visual impairment due to optic nerve compression. Rather than going for prophylactic optic canal decompression (which does more harm than good), optic nerve decompression should be done in symptomatic patients only, and preferably be done via minimal invasive endoscopic neuro-surgical approach than the conventional more morbid open craniotomy approach. There is growing research and possibilities that newer generation bisphosphonate medication may change the management scenario, as these medications show encouraging response in not only reducing the osteoclastic activity, but simultaneously also stimulating the osteoblastic and osteocytic activities. The explosion of genetic research and stem cell therapy may lead to better understanding and subsequently better treatment of FD in future.

Introduction: Replication of the exact three-dimensional (3D) structure of the maxilla and mandible is now a priority whilst attempting reconstruction of these bones to attain a complete functional and aesthetic rehabilitation. We hereby present the process of rapid prototyping using stereolithography to produce templates for modelling bone grafts and implants for maxilla/mandible reconstructions, its applications in tumour/trauma, and outcomes for primary and secondary reconstruction. Materials and Methods: Stereolithographic template-assisted reconstruction was used on 11 patients for the reconstruction of the mandible/maxilla primarily following tumour excision and secondarily for the realignment of post-traumatic malunited fractures or deformity corrections. Data obtained from the computed tomography (CT) scans with 1-mm resolution were converted into a computer-aided design (CAD) using the CT Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) data. Once a CAD model was constructed, it was converted into a stereolithographic format and then processed by the rapid prototyping technology to produce the physical anatomical model using a resin. This resin model replicates the native mandible, which can be thus used off table as a guide for modelling the bone grafts. Discussion: This conversion of two-dimensional (2D) data from CT scan into 3D models is a very precise guide to shaping the bone grafts. Further, this CAD can reconstruct the defective half of the mandible using the mirror image principle, and the normal anatomical model can be created to aid secondary reconstructions. Conclusion: This novel approach allows a precise translation of the treatment plan directly to the surgical field. It is also an important teaching tool for implant moulding and fixation, and helps in patient counselling.
