 Abstract

A new simple, rapid and precise UV spectrophotometric method was developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of Caffeine and Quercetin. The method involved estimation of Caffeine and Quercetin by simultaneous equation at 273nm and 372nm respectively in their solution in methanol. The Beer�s law obeyed in the concentration range of 2-10 ?g/ml for both Caffeine and Quercetin respectively. This method was validated with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision, Limit of detection and quantification as per ICH norms. This method was found to be precise as %RSD was less than 2. Thus, the proposed method was found to be rapid, specific, precise and accurate for the routine analysis of Caffeine and Quercetin in niosomal formulation.

 Abstract

Fairy tales have a pivotal part to play in a child�s psyche. The ethos and notions created by these tales remain entrenched in a person�s mind eternally. This paper attempts an analysis of Oscar Wilde�s collection The Happy Prince and other Stories to establish Wilde�s fairy tales as a protest against Utilitarianism rampant during the Victorian eon. The protagonists in the short stories are not perfect; they have all sinned by choosing �happiness� over �sacrifice�. Their journey from ignorance to redemption through the discovery of selfless love and sacrifice conveys the message that being a sinner is part of being human. If sins can lead to redemption, then there is goodness in sin after all. Wilde was pointing out the flaws in the moral temperament of the Victorian age that chose to remain �happy� by being ignorant of the needs of the poor and the needy. The objective of the paper is to reveal the morals entrenched in the fairy tales with a view to developing the idea that though superficially Wilde disliked acknowledging his fairy tales to be moralistic, his aim was mainly targeted at the reading public during his time, pointing out their iniquities and ways to correct it- all captured within innocent fairy tales for children. The fairy tales of Oscar Wilde that have been taken into consideration are �The Happy Prince�, �The Nightingale and The Rose�, �The Selfish Giant�, �The Devoted Friend� and �The Remarkable Rocket.

Image Text is the text information embedded or written in image of various form. Image text is often found in captured images, scanned documents, magazines, newspapers, posters etc. The knowledge from these image documents would give higher efficiency and simple access if it's converted into text form. The method by which Image Text converted into plain text is text Extraction. Text Extraction useful in information retrieving, searching, editing, documenting, archiving or reporting of image text. However variation of those texts because of differences in size, orientation style, and alignment, text is embedded in complex colour documentation images, degraded documents image, inferiority image, likewise as low image contrast and complicated background make problem text extraction extremely difficult and challenging one. During this we proposed the algorithm, Edge based and connected components. The extracted text recognition done by OCR with better accuracy and at last audio output is going to be produced.

Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) is a method of assessing the ventilatory capacity with single breath. Maximal Expiratory Pressure (MEP) is the greatest pressure which is generated during maximal expiration against an occluded airway. Expiratory Muscle Strength Training(EMST)for duration of one week training was given to see increase in PEFR and MEP in elderly rural population improve their quality of life. A pilot study was done taking 30 samples which was an interventional type of study. Before the intervention, pre PEFR and MEP was measured. PEFR was measured using peak flow meter and MEP was measured using MEP device. Then one week Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) Protocol was given. Later after a week, again the post PEFR and MEP was measured. For results Mean and SD was calculated. MEP pre intervention was 60.77�16.96 and MEP post intervention was 61.29�16.92. The PEFR pre intervention was 230�68.07 and post PEFR was 246.67�72.50. The correlation between pre and post values of PEFR (p-value) is extremely significant (p<0.05).

 Abstract

There are many problems in metering and billing processes for meter reader to take meter reading manually due to the non-existence of the customers at their homes during that time, problems while taking meter reading and sometimes the areas are not safety. The conventional method is not much suitable to retrieve the energy meter data and billing. It is tedious process for the meter reader to collect it manually and submit to the electrical distribution office to issue the bill for each consumer. On the other hand, energy meter in-service suffers from well-known measuring errors. The above problems impacts two significant things, Waste of Money and lack of Electricity Distribution Management which results in lack in electric power. Energy Monitoring System will takes automatically the reading of respective electrical parameters i.e., voltage ,current ,power and energy units consumed using Arduino Microcontroller .With this values we can know the consumption of power. This project provides a vital solution for Energy Monitoring System using Internet of Things(IoT) technology that enables us to develop the system without human interference and with the use of smart energy meter to read electrical energy consumed to get an accurate reading.

This paper is focused on the effective implementation of United Nation Convention against Torture in India and maintaining harmonious balance between individual liberty and the need of social defense, which can be possible access to mechanism of justice and to prompt redress. Custodial violence continues to be prevalent in India. So far, neither the Indian Penal Code nor the Code of Criminal Procedure Code specifically or comprehensively addresses custodial torture. Torture is a common scenario in the country everyday this inhuman practice is taking place in India, which is not expected because torture represents the uncivilized human society. Thus efforts to bring a standalone law against torture had lapsed. Though India had signed the U.N. Convention Against Torture in 1997, it is yet to ratify. The ratification by India will improve its image as a responsible & a liberal nation & will also improve cooperation in criminal matters.

Abstract: Machine learning has been adopted in a wide range of domains where it shows its superiority over other algorithms. These methods can also be integrated in cyber detection systems with the goal of supporting replacing the first level of security analysts. Although the complete automation of detection and analysis is an still a distant goal, the efficiency of machine learning in cyber security must be evaluated with the due diligence. We present an analysis, addressed to security specialists, of machine learning techniques applied to the different types of cyber attacks. The goal is to assess the current maturity of these solutions and to identify their main limitations that prevent an immediate adoption of those machine learning cyber detection schemes. Our conclusions are based on an extensive review of the literature as well as on experiments performed on real enterprise systems and network traffic in different conditions.

 Abstract

Pediatric cancer patients are vulnerable to malnutrition. They exhibit increased needs during disease and treatment. Pediatric friendly nutrition education tool for cancer patients in vernacular medium could address nutritional issues and compliance. Vernacular board game focusing on neutropenic diet was developed, validated for content and approved by practicing dietitians. Questionnaires in local languages to test efficacy, acceptance and relevance were also developed. The Hindi translated board game was tested on 10 pediatric cancer patients (7-10 years) with no specificity to the type of cancer. Responses were taken before and after the intervention and analyzed by T-test and percentages. Statistical significance was considered when p value was < 0.05. Study showed that patients were aware of neutropenic diet and its benefits, but lacked information about complications of noncompliance, and approved food lists. Post intervention, all patients� knowledge about neutropenic diet improved. The results found were statistically significant (p value 0.00). All patients liked the tools and agreed that it helped in understanding nutrition. Characteristics, appearance (100%), informative (60%), interactive (90%) and enjoyable (90%) were rated highest by patients. Nutrition education has positive effect in improving knowledge about nutrition among pediatric cancer patients. Further research is required to bring about a greater change in the health of pediatric cancer patients in the languages understood by them.

 Abstract

With the growing energy demands and depleting natural resources, it is of utmost importance to work on developing alternating source of energy and to improve the existing technology to utilize the existing resources. Coal-based energy generation meets around 70 percent of our energy needs. Now, to move forward towards a cleaner energy production mechanism and to attain the energy security of the country, judicious utilization of Indian coal is essential. The quality of Indian coal is poor and is worsening since the higher quality resources have already been exploited. Coking coal accounts for around 18-20 percent, of which only a small percentage is of prime coking quality. CO-gasification is the technology to improve the utilization of coal to increase the efficiency of coal utilization.

CFD General Notation System (CGNS) provides an industry standard, portable and extensible scheme for the storage and retrieval of computational fluid dynamics mesh and data. The CGNS standard includes structured and unstructured grid information, boundary condition, multi-zone interface connectivity etc. Any complex mesh and data can be exported as CGNS file and this capability is provided by many CFD software. OpenFOAM, the powerful open-source CFD software, doesn't natively facilitate handling of CGNS mesh. In fact one of the drawbacks of OpenFOAM is generation of complex mesh to be used with it. It will be very useful to develop capability to import mesh data available in CGNS format in OpenFOAM, so that the code can be used for various industrial applications. In order to validate the mesh conversion, local wall shear stress under turbulent flow through straight pipe is analyzed then the flow through torus is analyzed.

 Abstract

This paper critically analyses the construction and deconstruction of �mothering� and �parenthood� through the perspectives of dialectical discourses ranging from medical epistemology, media and social norms. Contemporary developments such as the decriminalization of LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning)1 sexuality might not ensure an extended social confirmatory role of a �mother� or a caregiver. Stretching to such concerns, homosexuality and transsexuality as a sexual behavior has been quite debatable through the historical authoritative notions of disciplinary boundaries, questioning the social validation of the �body� and �identity� in terms of pathological progression and popular representations of role internalization and generalization. The inner conflict within the systemic forces of legality and culture remains an ineradicable journey of contesting between spaces of struggle and assertion from varying movements of sexual and behavioral possibilities to a demarcation of limitations.
