Conclusion: Age , gender, and disease relative have been influencing on quality of life and health behaviors of adolescent with hemoglobinopathie
Enabling effective location-based services for road networks using spatial mining
Get PDFA co-location pattern represents a subset of Boolean spatial attributes whose instances are located in a close geographic space. These patterns are important for location-based services. There are many methods for co-location pattern mining where the distance between the events in close geographic proximity is calculated using a straight-line distance called Euclidean distance. Since most of the real-time tasks are bounded to the road networks, the results computed using Euclidean distance is not appropriate. So to compute co-location patterns involving network we define a model where initially a network model is defined and the neighbourhood is obtained by using network distance. By comparing this approach with the previous Euclidean approach, the results obtained for co-location patterns on a road network are accurate. Our experimental results for synthetic and real data show that the proposed approach is efficient and accurate for identifying co-location patterns involving network entities

Evaluation of folate levels in patients of lung carcinoma
Get PDFIntroduction: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death globally. It is the malignant lung tumor with numerous histological variants. Due to the increasing number of tobacco smoking it is the major risk factor for lung cancer. Two main types of Lung cancer are Non-Small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). Folate is a water-soluble natural form of vitamin B9. It plays important role in homocysteine metabolism. Its decreased level may be associated with various cancers as is linked with altered DNA methylation and synthesis, and disruption of DNA repair activities. Aims: The present study was planned to evaluate the Serum Folate levels in patients diagnosed with lung carcinoma and to explore the association of increased serum folate levels with lung carcinoma patients. Materials & Methods: Fifty patients diagnosed for lung carcinoma were enrolled according to the inclusion criteria for the study. Fifty age and sex matched healthy individuals constituted the control group. Serum folate levels were estimated for all enrolled subjects. Results obtained were compared statistically among the lung carcinoma and healthy control groups. Results: Age of the study group and control group were comparable
Friction stir welding of dissimilar aluminum alloys AA7075 to AA2014: Optimization of process parameters using Taguchi technique
Get PDFThe joining of dissimilar Al-Cu alloy AA2014-T651 and Al-Zn alloy AA7075-T651 plates was carried out using friction stir welding (FSW) technique and the process parameters were optimized using Taguchi L9 orthogonal design of experiments. The rotational speed, transverse speed, and axial load were the parameters taken into consideration. The optimum process parameters were determined with reference to tensile strength of the joint. The predicted optimal value of tensile strength was confirmed by conducting the confirmation run using optimum parameters. This study shows that defect free, high efficiency welded joints can be produced using a wide range of process parameters and recommends parameters for producing best joint tensile properties. Analysis of variance showed that the axial load is the most dominant factor in deciding the joint soundness while rotational speed and welding speed also played significant roles
