Beam Loading Effect and Adiabatic Capture in SIS-18 at GSI
No full textFor the projected Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at GSI the upgraded, existing synchrotron SIS-18 will be used as an injector. The increased beam intensity in the upgraded SIS-18 is expected to cause additional collective effects, leading to beam loss or beam quality degradation. Beam interaction with radio frequency (rf) cavity, resulting in beam loading effect, is an important consideration in the design and operation of high-intensity circular particle accelerators. The steady state and transient perturbation of the rf cavity system by the circulating beam can be harmful to the beam and limit the accelerator performance. Steady state beam loading effect is observed in SIS-18 with single and double rf operations. The supportive simulation and theoretical study is done, to extrapolate the results for the upgraded SIS-18. In SIS-18 the coasting beam, i.e. an unbunched dc beam, is captured by using the rf cavities. RF capture is one of the potential sources for longitudinal beam quality degradation at high intensities. Therefore this part of the SIS-18 machine cycle requires dedicated studies. The rf voltage ramping time and the initial voltage amplitude are important parameters to be controlled. This study of longitudinal beam dynamics is helpful to determine the optimum type of voltage ramp, in terms of beam quality and total cycle time. A theoretical study has been made in this direction, supported by simulations. In line with that the experiments have been performed in SIS-18.

Patient Satisfaction Survey: Qualitative Evaluation Tool for Health Care Services
No full textBackground: A paradigm shift has been noticed by employing patient satisfaction survey as a tool for improvement of quality of patient care services in the hospital and more recently the same has been utilized as a market-driven approach to enhance the overall organizational performance of various health care establishments across the countries all over the world. Present study is aimed to study the satisfaction level of patients, various factors associated with such satisfactory outcome as well as to examine the root causes of dissatisfaction among patients availing the health care services. This in turn will enable us to improve the quality of health care delivery services in a tertiary care health facility owned by the government in Northern India. Material & Methods: Data was captured from admitted patients as well as from the clientele visiting various OPDs of the hospital with necessary randomization & with the aid of utilizing patient’s satisfaction survey questionnaire in the time period from July to the month of December of the year of 2023. A total of 102 patients visiting the hospital for OPD services or for admission were included in the present study. Analysis of the study findings were done using SPSS software version 20. Results: A total of 37 patients visiting various OPDs were interviewed and various parameters were captured using the questionnaire survey feedback forms. It was found that mean score of overall satisfaction rate of visitors of hospital was 4.6 as found by the users towards satisfaction score of communication by doctors. Mean score towards hospital cleanliness, amenities of waiting area, availability of prescribed medicines, waiting period in registration desk and behavior of hospital staffs were also found to be above ‘Very Good’ ratings. Conclusion: Good practices towards patient satisfaction are needed to be adhered on long run to ensure the delivery of quality health care to clientele

A New Similarity Measure Based on Mean Measure of Divergence for Collaborative Filtering in Sparse Environment
No full textAbstractMemory based algorithms, often referred to as similarity based Collaborative Filtering (CF) is one of the most popular and successful approaches to provide service recommendations. It provides automated and personalized suggestions to consumers to select variety of products. Typically, the core of similarity based CF which greatly affect the performance of recommendation system is to finding similar users to a target user. Conventional similarity measures like Cosine, Pearson correlation coefficient, Jaccard similarity suffer from accuracy problem under sparse environment. Hence in this paper, we propose a new similarity approach based on Mean Measure of Divergence that takes rating habits of a user into account. The quality of recommendation of proposed approach is analyzed on benchmark datasets: ML 100K, ML-1M and Each Movie for various sparsity levels. The results depict that the proposed similarity measure outperforms existing measures in terms of prediction accuracy
Roadmaps of G.I Tags in India vis-à-vis legal implications and international position of G.I Tag
No full textThis article examined GI as an Intellectual Property Right (IPR) in India. In doing this, the author will mention about the concept of GI and other concepts and terminologies related with GI. The research paper will discuss about the implications and non-legal implications of G.I Tag as an IPR. To give legal rights to the people whose trade or craft come available only due to their geographical factors, the government provides Geographical Indications or GI Tag. The author also put forth that the G.I holders must rethink and work on their strategies to get the desired success and further development .The paper will also focus on the evolution of G.I in India and its importance as well. The paper will then examine the existing approaches required for protection of G.I as well as the existing legal framework for GI protection in India, its procedure for Registration and other proposed bills meant to aid the development of IP in India. It then critically appraised India’s traditional cultural expressions/traditional knowledge and agricultural produce as the subject matter of GI protection. More so, the article analyzed the challenges facing developing countries with regards to GI protection. In keeping with the tradition of legal writing, the researchers adopt the doctrinal approach for the purpose of this research

No full textInternational audienceCollective migration is a complex process that contributes to build precise tissue and organ architecture. Several molecules implicated in cell interactions also control collective migration, but their precise role and the finely tuned expression that orchestrates this complex developmental process are poorly understood. Here, we show that the timely and threshold expression of the Netrin receptor Frazzled triggers the initiation of glia migration in the developing Drosophila wing. Frazzled expression is induced by the transcription factor Glide/Gcm in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, the glial determinant also regulates the efficiency of collective migration. NetrinB but not NetrinA serves as a chemoattractant and Unc5 contributes as a repellant Netrin receptor for glia migration. Our model includes strict spatial localization of a ligand, a cell autonomously acting receptor and a fate determinant that act coordinately to direct glia toward their final destination
A Comparative Study on Class Characteristics of Devanãgri Script Writers from Three Different States of India
No full textIndia is a multilingual country. Hindi is the national language of India and Devanãgri script is used to write Hindi language. Various documents with legal value are made in Devanãgri script, which may be questioned for their authenticity and authorship. Sufficient research has been done and reported about different scripts. However, researches based on Devanãgri script are limited. This study focuses on finding the significant class characteristics of writers from three different states of India, namely, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab. The data was also statistically analysed using Pearson’s Chi-Square test for its significance. Handwriting samples from 300 subjects were collected from three different states of India to analyze various class characteristics in Devanãgri script. The samples were examined qualitatively and statistically. Various general characteristics were selected for the analysis and characteristic features were tabulated after qualitative examination. Statistical analysis showed that the data was statistically significant. The general characteristics selected for the analysis and comparison of the handwriting samples in Devanãgri script were found to be significant. The impact of regional scripts on the Devanãgri script should be performed, as the influence of regional language could be seen in the samples collected from Punjab
