Five Degree Internal Conical Connection and Marginal Bone Stability around Subcrestal Implants: A Retrospective Analysis
Venue: Materials
Year: 2020

There is limited information on the effect of the connection between subcrestally placed implants and abutments on marginal bone levels. The aim of the present retrospective study was to evaluate marginal bone levels after definitive prosthesis delivery around implants with an internal 5deg conical connection placed in a subcrestal position.  Patients treated with fixed prostheses supported by implants placed at a subcrestal level between 2012 and 2018 were recalled for a follow up examination. All implants had 5deg internal conical connection with platform switching. Radiographic marginal bone level (MBL) was measured. MBL change between prosthetic delivery (t0) and follow up examination (t1) was calculated. A multiple regression model was performed to identify the most significant predictors on MBL change.  Ninety three patients and 410 implants, with a mean follow up of 2.72 1.31 years, were examined. Mean MBL was 1.09 0.65 mm and 1.00 0.37 mm at t0 and t1, respectively, with a mean bone remodeling of 0.09 0.68 mm. An implant's vertical position in relation to the bone crest, the year of follow up and the presence of type 2 controlled diabetes were demonstrated to be influencing factors for MBL modifications.  Subcrestally placed implants with platform switching and internal conical connection maintained stable bone levels over a mean follow up of more than 2 years. How a tight internal conical connection between abutment and implant may contribute to this clinical evidence should be more deeply investigated. MBL variations seem to be mostly influenced by an implant's vertical position and presence of type 2 controlled diabetes.
Measuring Health Literacy in Individuals With Diabetes
Venue: Health education behavior the official publication of the Society for Public Health Education
Year: 2013

To identify instruments used to measure health literacy and numeracy in people with diabetes; evaluate their use, measurement scope, and properties; discuss their strengths and weaknesses; and propose the most useful, reliable, and applicable measure for use in research and practice settings.  A systematic literature review was conducted to identify the instruments. Nutbeam's domains of health literacy and a diabetes health literacy skill set were used to evaluate the measurement scope of the identified instruments and to evaluate their applicability in people with diabetes.  Fifty six studies were included, from which one diabetes specific (LAD) and eight generic measures of health literacy (REALM, REALM R, TOFHLA, s TOFHLA, NVS, 3 brief SQ, 3 level HL Scale, SILS) and one diabetes specific (DNT) and two generic measures of numeracy (SNS, WRAT) were identified. These instruments were categorized into direct measures, that is, instruments that assess the performance of individuals on health literacy skills and indirect measures that rely on self report of these skills. The most commonly used instruments measure selective domains of health literacy, focus mainly on reading and writing skills, and do not address other important skills such as verbal communication, health care system navigation, health related decision making, and numeracy. The structure, mode, and length of administration and measurement properties were found to affect the applicability of these instruments in clinical and research settings. Indirect self or clinician administered measures are the most useful in both clinical and research settings.  This review provides an evaluation of available health literacy measures and guidance to practitioners and researchers for selecting the appropriate measures for use in clinical settings and research applications.
Electrocardiographic changes during induced therapeutic hypothermia in comatose survivors after cardiac arrest.
Venue: World journal of cardiology
Year: 2015

To assess the safety of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) concerning arrhythmias we analyzed serial electrocardiograms (ECG) during TH.  All patients recovered from a cardiac arrest with Glasgow 9 at admission were treated with induced mild TH to 32 34 degC. TH was obtained with cool fluid infusion or a specific intravascular device. Twelve lead ECG before, during, and after TH, as well as ECG telemetry data was recorded in all patients. From a total of 54 patients admitted with cardiac arrest during the study period, 47 patients had the 3 ECG and telemetry data available. ECG analysis was blinded and performed with manual caliper by two independent cardiologists from blinded copies of original ECG, recorded at 25 mm/s and 10 mm/mV. Coronary care unit staff analyzed ECG telemetry for rhythm disturbances. Variables measured in ECG were rhythm, RR, PR, QT and corrected QT (QTc by Bazett formula, measured in lead v2) intervals, QRS duration, presence of Osborn's J wave and U wave, as well as ST segment displacement and T wave amplitude in leads II, v2 and v5.  Heart rate went down an average of 19 bpm during hypothermia and increased again 16 bpm with rewarming (P 0.0005, both) There was a non significant prolongation of the PR interval during TH and a significant decrease with rewarming (P 0.041) QRS duration significantly prolonged (P 0.041) with TH and shortened back (P 0.005) with rewarming. QTc interval presented a mean prolongation of 58 ms (P 0.005) during TH and a significant shortening with rewarming of 22.2 ms (P 0.017) Osborn or J wave was found in 21.3% of the patients. New arrhythmias occurred in 38.3% of the patients. Most frequent arrhythmia was non sustained ventricular tachycardia (19.1% followed by severe bradycardia or paced rhythm (10.6% accelerated nodal rhythm (8.5% and atrial fibrillation (6.4% No life threatening arrhythmias (sustained ventricular tachycardia, polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation) occurred during TH.  A 38.3% of patients had cardiac arrhythmias during TH but without life threatening arrhythmias. A concern may rise when inducing TH to patients with long QT syndrome.
The effect of submarine groundwater discharge on the ocean.
Venue: Annual review of marine science
Year: 2010

The exchange of groundwater between land and sea is a major component of the hydrological cycle. This exchange, called submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is comprised of terrestrial water mixed with sea water that has infiltrated coastal aquifers. The composition of SGD differs from that predicted by simple mixing because biogeochemical reactions in the aquifer modify its chemistry. To emphasize the importance of mixing and chemical reaction, these coastal aquifers are called subterranean estuaries. Geologists recognize this mixing zone as a site of carbonate diagenesis and dolomite formation. Biologists have recognized that terrestrial inputs of nutrients to the coastal ocean may occur through subterranean processes. Further evidence of SGD comes from the distribution of chemical tracers in the coastal ocean. These tracers originate within coastal aquifers and reach the ocean through SGD. Tracer studies reveal that SGD provides globally important fluxes of nutrients, carbon, and metals to coastal waters.
A Novel Bayes Model: Hidden Naive Bayes
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering
Year: 2009

Because learning an optimal Bayesian network classifier is an NP hard problem, learning improved naive Bayes has attracted much attention from researchers. In this paper, we summarize the existing improved algorithms and propose a novel Bayes model: hidden naive Bayes (HNB) In HNB, a hidden parent is created for each attribute which combines the influences from all other attributes. We experimentally test HNB in terms of classification accuracy, using the 36 UCI data sets selected by Weka, and compare it to naive Bayes (NB) selective Bayesian classifiers (SBC) naive Bayes tree (NBTree) tree augmented naive Bayes (TAN) and averaged one dependence estimators (AODE) The experimental results show that HNB significantly outperforms NB, SBC, NBTree, TAN, and AODE. In many data mining applications, an accurate class probability estimation and ranking are also desirable. We study the class probability estimation and ranking performance, measured by conditional log likelihood (CLL) and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) respectively, of naive Bayes and its improved models, such as SBC, NBTree, TAN, and AODE, and then compare HNB to them in terms of CLL and AUC. Our experiments show that HNB also significantly outperforms all of them.
Nursing Practice, Research and Education in the West: The Best Is Yet to Come
Venue: Nursing research
Year: 2017

This paper celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Western Institute of Nursing, the nursing organization representing 13 states in the Western United States, and envisions a preferred future for nursing practice, research, and education.  Three landmark calls to action contribute to transforming nursing and healthcare: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010; the Institute of Medicine report Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health; and the report Advancing Healthcare Transformation: A New Era for Academic Nursing. Challenges abound: U.S. healthcare remains expensive, with poorer outcomes than other developed countries; costs of higher education are high; our profession does not reflect the diversity of the population; and health disparities persist. Pressing health issues, such as increases in chronic disease and mental health conditions and substance abuse, coupled with aging of the population, pose new priorities for nursing and healthcare.  Changes are needed in practice, research, and education. In practice, innovative, cocreated, evidence based models of care can open new roles for registered nurses and advanced practice registered nurses who have knowledge, leadership, and team skills to improve quality and address system change. In research, data can provide a foundation for clinical practice and expand our knowledge base in symptom science, wellness, self management, and end of life/palliative care, as well as behavioral health, to demonstrate the value of nursing care and reduce health disparities. In education, personalized, integrative, and technology enabled teaching and learning can lead to creative and critical thinking/decision making, ethical and culturally inclusive foundations for practice, ensure team and communication skills, quality and system improvements, and lifelong learning.  The role of the Western Institute of Nursing is more relevant than ever as we collectively advance nursing, health, and healthcare through education, clinical practice, and research.
Forecasting urban growth based on GIS, RS and SLEUTH model in Pune metropolitan area
Year: 2011

Geoinformatics is today used extensively for managing the rapidly growing urbanization of our cities and villages. Growing urban areas increasingly encroach on the surrounding rural areas putting enormous pressure on the meager infrastructure, very often leading to the unplanned and unsustainable development. The study area is Pune and its surrounding rural areas. In this study, a self modifying cellular automated Slope, Land use, Exclusion, Urban extension, Transportation and Hill shade model (SLEUTH) has been used to simulate and predict urban growth of Pune city by 2030 and its impact on the surrounding rural areas. The study is based on 38 years (19732011) of multitemporal data compiled and interpreted from Landsat images, Survey of India toposheets and Aster GDEM. The predicted urban growth shows that Pune city may expand mainly in the North and East, rather than in the South and West directions. Rural areas in Urli Knanchan, Wagoli, Rahu, Talegoan Dhandhere, Hadapsar and Thergaon revenue circles might be the most influenced areas of Pune's urbanization by 2030. This study showed that the combined approach of geographical information system, remote sensing and SLEUTH model is very useful in modeling and predicting the future urban scenarios, which help in planning of rural infrastructure development.
"Security and growth for all in the Indian Ocean" maritime governance and India's foreign policy
Venue: India Review
Year: 2019

In a March 2015 speech delivered in Mauritius, India's current Prime Minister Narendra Modi outlined what he described would be India's vision for the Indian Ocean Region. Under the acronym, SAGAR or "Security and Growth for All in the Region," five key points were elucidated. At the time, the speech was praised for articulating a proactive approach to the Indian Ocean and the various visits to, and agreements that followed with, littoral and island countries, appeared to confirm this. This paper seeks to assess the extent to which India has been able to deliver an agenda of security and growth for the maritime region. Despite the enthusiastic reception to SAGAR, the critique is often made that India is slow to deliver on the promises made as part of the country's maritime and naval diplomacy. The paper highlights a selection of decisions and actions taken since 2015, which have contributed to maritime governance in the region and argues that there is a substantial change in the way SAGAR provides a framework for strategic action.

The impact of Zr substituted Sr hexaferrite: Investigation on structure, optic and magnetic properties
Venue: Results in Physics
Year: 2019

Hexaferrite (HFs) of Sr1 xZrxFe12O19 (0.00 x 0.10) have been produced through Citrate Sol gel approach. The characteristic of compositions is studied through XRD (X ray powder diffractometer) SEM (Scanning electron microscopy) EDX (Energy dispersive X ray) TEM (Transmission electron microscopy) DR% (UV Visible diffuse reflectance spectrophotometer) FT IR (Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer) The single phase Sr hexaferrite was confirmed for each product by XRD. The crystallites size of the products was calculated as 22 40 nm range which makes this material as an appropriate candidate for high density recording media. The optical band gap tends to decrease when increasing the Zr content. The analyses of magnetization versus applied magnetic field, M(H) were performed at room (300 K; RT) and low (10 K) temperatures. The various magnetic parameters including coercivity Hc, squareness ratio (SQR Mr/Ms) remanence Mr, saturation magnetization Ms and magnetic moment nB were deduced and described in detail. At both considered temperatures, the M(H) results showed ferrimagnetic nature. It is showed that the Zr substitutions significantly affect the magnetizations data. A significant decrease in the Ms, Mr, and nB was observed with Zr substitution.
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF A LOW POWER HIGH SPEED HYBRID 1 BIT FULL ADDER CIRCUIT USING CMOS TECHNOLOGIES USING
Year: 2017

2 Assistant Professor, Department of ECE, Rajeev Institute of Technology, Hassan 573201  The general objective of our work is to investigate the power and delay performances of lowvoltage full adder cells in different CMOS logic styles for the predominating tree structured arithmetic circuits. A new hybrid style full adder circuit is also presented. The sum and carry generation circuits of the proposed full adder are designed with hybrid logic styles. To operate at ultra low supply voltage, the pass logic circuit that cogenerates the intermediate XOR and XNOR outputs has been improved to overcome the switching delay problem. As full adders are frequently employed in a tree structured configuration for high performance arithmetic circuits, a cascaded simulation structure is introduced to evaluate the full adders in a realistic application environment. A systematic and elegant procedure to scale the transistor for minimal power delay product is proposed. The circuits being studied are optimized for energy efficiency at 180nm, 90nm and 45nm CMOS process technology. With the proposed simulation environment, it is shown that some survival cells in standalone operation at low voltage may fail when cascaded in a larger circuit, either due to the lack of drivability or unsatisfactory speed of operation. The proposed hybrid full adder exhibits not only the full swing logic and balanced outputs but also strong output drivability. The increase in the transistor count of its complementary CMOS output stage is compensated by its area efficient layout. Therefore, it remains one of the be st contenders for designing large tree structured arithmetic circuits with reduced energy consumption while keeping the increase in area to a minimum. In this report the 1 bit proposed full adder circuit is designed and also it is also extended to 4 bits and the results of power and delay were also tabulated.

The Diversification of Cell Death and Immunity: Memento Mori.
Venue: Molecular cell
Year: 2019

Why do cells have so many ways to die? Why does "cellular suicide" exist at all? In the war against pathogens and rogue cells, organisms developed cellular suicide as a last resort. Fighting an evolutionary arms race, cell death pathways have adapted and multiplied to cover the complexity of the foes the immune system faces. In this review, we discuss the different types of cell death, the underlying signaling events, and their unequal ability to trigger an immune response. We also comment on how to use our knowledge of cell death signaling to improve the efficacy of cancer treatment. We argue that cell death is integral to the immune response and acts as a beacon, a second messenger, that guides both immune system and tissue micro environment to ensure tissue repair and homeostasis. Memento mori "remember you must die" as failure to do so opens the way to chronic infection and cancer.
Designing a concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) system in adjunct with a silicon photovoltaic panel for a solar competition car
Venue: Sensing Technologies Applications
Year: 2014

Solar competition cars are a very interesting research laboratory for the development of new technologies heading to their further implementation in either commercial passenger vehicles or related applications. Besides, worldwide competitions allow the spreading of such ideas where the best and experienced teams bet on innovation and leading edge technologies, in order to develop more efficient vehicles. In these vehicles, some aspects generally make the difference such as aerodynamics, shape, weight, wheels and the main solar panels. Therefore, seeking to innovate in a competitive advantage, the first Colombian solar vehicle "Primavera" competitor at the World Solar Challenge (WSC) 2013, has implemented the usage of a Concentrating Photovoltaic (CPV) system as a complementary solar energy module to the common silicon photovoltaic panel. By harvesting sunlight with concentrating optical devices, CPVs are capable of maximizing the allowable photovoltaic area. However, the entire CPV system weight must be less harmful than the benefit of the extra electric energy generated, which in adjunct with added manufacture and design complexity, has intervened in the fact that CPVs had never been implemented in a solar car in such a scale as the one described in this work. Design considerations, the system development process and implementation are presented in this document considering both the restrictions of the context and the interaction of the CPV system with the solar car setup. The measured data evidences the advantage of using this complementary system during the competition and the potential this technology has for further developments.
A reliability assessment model for an outdoor 88 kV XLPE cable termination
Year: 2019

A metropolitan power utility has been experiencing systematic and premature failures of a particular type of XLPE cable terminations operating at 88 kV (rms) The utility therefore desired to understand the modes of failure in order to evaluate the risk with the terminations still in service. Failed terminations were forensically analysed. The dominant modes of degradation were identified as electro thermal, galvanic corrosion and thermomechanic fatigue. Based on the weakest link principle, a reliability model was developed using the life factor models corresponding to the identified modes of degradation. Galvanic corrosion and thermomechanic fatigue life factors were found to have the predominant influence on the overall reliability of the termination as they reduced the cable termination life by more than 10 years. The model can be used to track the probability of the remaining life of the terminations as well as evaluating the effectiveness of alternative designs and/or in situ repairs.
