 Abstract

The most common chronic disease in children throughout the world is dental caries. It is a challenge for the clinician to excavate caries and restore teeth in un-cooperative children therefore a new management technique of untreated dental caries has been proposed using Silver Diamine Fluoride(SDF). Various In-Vitro studies by Knight et al. from 2005 to 2009 proved it has caries arresting effect and antimicrobial action. Chu et al. have recommended using three applications of 38% SDF weekly to arrest rampant caries. Due to its ease of use, cost effectiveness and minimal invasiveness it is one of the best alternative choice of caries control when the routine approaches are not available. Clinical evidence has proven that continued application 1-2 times per year has arrested caries, but if treatment is stopped for 2-3 years what will happen is still a question mark and research needs to be carried out further in this direction.

Indian economy is one of the top emerging markets of the world. Five years ago, it was considered as part of the fragile five, but no longer. Since 2014, it has emerged as of the one top foreign destination in the world with a significant rise in FDI. The journey of attracting foreign investments started way back in 1991 with New Economic policy and India has unpretendingly scaled new heights in the level of FDI during 2000�s. The paper focuses on secondary data based on analysis of the inflow of FDI in India from 2000 to 2018. The paper also aims to look at different facets of positive FDI spill overs in the country. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) refers to an investment made by a company based in one country in to another company based in other country. FDI is often preferred over Foreign Institutional Investments (FII) as it considered to be the most beneficial form of foreign investment for an economy. FDI plays a multidimensional role in the overall development of any economy. It provides a new source for capital, can lead to technological up gradation, skill enhancement and allocative efficiency effects. While FDI is expected to create positive impact on economy, it has also brought in certain negative impact on Indian economy during the past few years. The present study is conducted to study the relationship and analyze the impact of FDI on Indian economy. Flow of FDI for the past 15 years was taken for study (2000-2015). The impact was studied by testing the correlation with the country�s GDP and Stock Market Indices. Sensex and Nifty were considered as the representative of Indian Stock Market. The study concludes that flow of FDI in to the country plays a dominant role in deciding the stock market movements.

ABSTRACT This paper explores the theme of Alienation in Anita Desai's Cry,The Peacock(1963) and Kiran Desai's Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard (1997). The theme of alienation is a pivotal idea in post-modern Literature. It has been being used in theological, philosophical, sociological and Psychological writings. Alienation is a state of man's contradiction with his milieu. It alludes to the polarization among man and nature and the breaking down of man's dreams of joy. It also reflects a mirrors a condition of man's separation from himself, with a common feeling of depression or a sentiment of avoidance that goes with any conduct where the individual is constrained to pointlessly. The people are compelled to control individuals and circumstances as per the social requests, while feeling unequipped for controlling their activities. Alienation is an old phenomenon but it has accepted alarming extents in the present age. Several factors have achieved this condition of awareness. The feeling of alienation is characteristic in man as he is inclined to practically all the physical and mental assaults of society and its controllers. The contrary impacts of alienation lead man either to end it all or to see himself as not in excess of automation deprived of any close to home positioning or individuality.

 Abstract

The real-world applications related to digital signal processing demand high performance computation. In such applications we use the various types of filters and one such type of filter is Adaptive Finite impulse Response filter. There are many architectures implementing the Adaptive Finite impulse Response filter. The architecture of Adaptive FIR is mainly composed of the error computing and weight updating modules. Because intensive computation is involved in practical applications, high ef?ciency and low-cost hardware is a must. Hence here a fixed-point finite impulse response adaptive filter is proposed using approximate distributed arithmetic (DA) circuits. In this design, the radix-8 booth algorithm is used to reduce the number of partial products in the DA architecture. In order to reduce the area, Kogge stone adders are used. As a result, the delay and power consumption of the proposed design are significantly reduced. Both the error computing schemes and weight updating schemes will be designed using Verilog.

Background: Today is the age of information and technology, in which social media playing an important role. Although social media has a positive effect on a person but its more use also has negative effects. Several studies have revealed an association between more use of social media and poor emotional state. It is shown that social media can affect people differently. Objective: Purpose of this present study to observe the impact of social media on mental health-related to depression, anxiety, and stress of adolescents. Method: The survey method was used in this study. A sample comprised of 100 students out of which 50 students who use social media for less two hours and 50 students who use social media for more than two hours was drowned randomly selected from the different schools of Aligarh district in the age range between 16 to 18 years. Depression, anxiety, and stress scales developed by Lovibond and Lovibond (1995) were used to data collection. For analyzing the collected data, mean, standard deviation and t-test were used to see the impact of social media on the mental health of adolescents. Result: The result shows that there was a significant difference between adolescents who use social media for less than two hours and adolescents who use social media for more than two hours on depression, anxiety, and stress level. Adolescents who use social media for more than two hours received a higher mean score on depression, anxiety, and stress (17.5, 18.02 & 17.56) as compared to the adolescents who use social media for less than two hours ( 9.96, 10.08 & 9.12). The t-value of depression, anxiety, and stress level was 5.39, 5.88, and 6.86, respectively. These t-values were very high to the tabular t-value at 0.01 level of significance. Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that there was a significant difference between adolescents who use social media for less than two hours and adolescents who use social media for more than two hours on depression, anxiety, and stress level. Hence, we can say that adolescents who use social media for more than two hours are poor mentally healthy than adolescents who use social media for less than two hours.

 Abstract

Bearing condition monitoring has received considerable attention in rotating machines. The Acoustic Emission (AE) monitoring is proved to be an important method in order to monitor the bearings. The advantage of AE monitoring over vibration monitoring is that the AE monitoring can detect the growth of subsurface cracks whereas the vibration monitoring can detect defects only when they appear on the surface. The present work involves studying the variation of AE signals obtained from spindle bearing housing of a lathe for various cutting conditions. AE signal was acquired during turning of S. G. Cast iron using multi-layer coated carbide tool. From the AE signals obtained, it was observed that the AE parameters varied in accordance with variation in the load on the bearing. Also, it was observed that as the cutting conditions increases there is an increase in the signal level of AE parameters. This is due to the increase in load acting on the bearing at higher cutting conditions.

1 Abstract; After 68 years of Independence, too many of India�s Citizens are shackted by the lack of quality education that enables them to be free and Independent. Our earlier generations taught to end the injustice impaired by the British Raj. We now need a second freedom movement that ensures equality of rights and opportunity by all citizens of India particularly for scheduled caste children who look for the access of getting education. In this context has been constructed a module on quality improvement of education of scheduled caste children which discusses socio-cultural issues and problems. Therefore, this module deals with the Educational policies, Education and society, Curriculum development, School and reproduction of inequality, Cultural capital and learning. Education should not be seen in a static model. Like society, education also must follow the model of dynamic equilibrium. There are pressures from new subjects.

The AC and Thermo-drain are the typical equipment used in the buildings to maintain the climate in the building. The Air conditioner (AC) typically cools the air inside with the help of thermostat containing a radiator and cools the temperature inside a room. The thermo-drain on the other hand uses water for cooling with the help of a radiator containing thermostat and passes the cool water thoroughly through pipes which indeed reduces the temperature of the room. In India, we've hot summers and buildings are un-insulated. They absorb the solar heat and emit it inside. The interior surfaces get heated and radiate heat. Sufficient evidence has been gathered till date to show that un-insulated buildings in India absorb radiation during the day and release it within the night.

India harvested 223.089 million tonnes of horticultural produce from 20.876 million hectares of land in the 11thfive year plan. The major crops contributing to it are fruits and vegetables (approx 204 million tonnes from 14.314 million hectares area). Horticulture sector contributing 30 percent to the India�s agricultural GDP from 8.5 percent of cropped area. As the waste utilization technology are adopting in developed countries and the scales of economies of these technologies does follow in Indian conditions due to various factors. Therefore, there is a need for development of cost effective technologies for the production of value added products. Post harvest management of fruits and vegetables provides ample opportunities for value addition besides providing wealth from waste. Its effective utilization helps in reducing the cost of production of crops besides optimum utilization of biomass. A several process technologies used to utilize fruit and vegetables such as drying & dehydration, freezing, fermentation, extraction, etc., are some treatment examples that can be useful to recycling and upgrading waste of fruit and vegetable market.

This paper gives an analytical and experimental investigation on the web stiffened built-up cold-formed columns with batten sheets. Initially, the paper presents the axial compressive test result on 6 specimens under fixed-end conditions. It is shown that the batten sheets have a significant influence on the buckling and ultimate strength of the model under axial compression. The test specimens were also analytically investigated by the finite element program of ANSYS. The test result of finite element analysis is close to test results. The parameter studies were conducted by using the program of ANSYS. In which the effect of increasing height, width-thickness ratio, batten spacing were all investigated and it all concluded that the height, thickness-width ratio, batten spacing contribute to the column strength and mode of failure.

Deep learning such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are an important workload increasingly demanding high-performance hardware acceleration. One distinguishing feature of deep learning workload is that it is inherently resilient to small numerical errors and works very well with low precision hardware. This paper presents a novel method to double the computation rate of convolutional neural network (CNN) accelerators by packing two multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) operations into one DSP block of off-the-shelf FPGAs (called Double MAC).There are several technical challenges, which we overcome by exploiting the mode of operation in the CNN accelerator. We have validated our method through FPGA synthesis and Verilog simulation, and evaluated our method by applying it to the state-of-the art CNN accelerator. While a general SIMD MAC using a single DSP block seems impossible, our solution is tailored for the kind of MAC operations required for a convolution layer. We find that our Double MAC approach can increase the computation throughput of a CNN layer by twice. In this paper we implement a Multiply Accumulate (MAC) unit based on a modified 8-bit Ripple carry adder which is again replaced by 8-bit Kogge Stone adder (KSA) for a DSP module in order to achieve high throughput. Our evaluation results shows that not only our Double MAC approach can increase the computation throughput of a CNN layer by twice with essentially reduced area, delay and power

Stress is characterized as "the vague reaction of the body to any request put upon it". Mental pressure may have advanced from a genuine occasion that caused a passionate unsettling influence before. This occasion may have been the untidy separating from a relationship that prompts passionate agony. As the occasion subsides into the past, different conclusions inside the individual mind will in general reason tension and stress. Stress is a mental reaction of the body that happens at whatever point we should adjust to evolving conditions, regardless of whether those conditions be genuine or seen, positive or negative. In brain science, stress is an inclination of tired, dejection, loss of memory, unreasonable annoyance, negative reasoning. It might cause progressively genuine conditions like heart issues. The primary goal of this examination is to discover the contrast among utilized and jobless ladies in their mental pressure. This investigation is illustrative in nature. Accommodation testing strategies were adjusted for choosing the sample. The sample size is 100 (50 Employed women�s and 50 unemployed women�s). In this examination that there is a noteworthy distinction among utilized and jobless ladies in their mental pressure.
