Ayurvedic management of Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO) with Macular Oedema - A Case Report
No full textBranch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO) is the second most common retinal vascular disorder associated with systemic vascular disorders such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity and dyslipidemia. It causes defective vision due to macular edema, venous congestion, and ischemia. Modern treatment mainly includes anti-VEGF injections and laser therapy, but recurrence and complications often seen. Ayurveda provides a holistic approach through internal medicines, ocular therapies, and life style modification. This case report presents a 64-year-old female with BRVO and macular edema, managed with Ayurvedic medicines and therapies such as Netra Sekam, Takradhara, Murdha Taila, Nasya Anjanam, Mukhalepam, and Jaloukavacharana. The right eye improved from counting fingers at 1.5 m to 6/24 (pinhole~6/18), with OCT central macular thickness reducing from 502 µm to 254 µm. The left eye-maintained vision at 6/60 with symptomatic relief and stabilization of OCT values. This suggests Ayurveda as a supportive therapy in BRVO management

Another finding is a particular banks function from the observation and experience of the author
The Heart Defect Analysis Based on PCG Signals Using Pattern Recognition Techniques
No full textAbstractThe graphical recording of the heart sounds and murmurs is called Phonocardiogram or PCG and the machine is so called phonocardiograph. It has an important role in the proper and accurate diagnosis of the heart defects. It requires highly and experienced professionals to read the phonocardiogram, as usually with the stethoscope. The paper is about the implementation of a diagnostic system as a detector and classifier; for heart diseases. Various heart sound samples are classified using Support Vector Machine (SVM), K Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Bayesian and Gaussian Mixture Model (KNN) Classifiers. The output of the system is the classification of the sound as either normal or abnormal and if it is abnormal, what type of abnormality is present. In the proposed method, time domain and frequency domain features are extracted. Various frequency domain features such as energy, mean, variance and Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) are analysed
Measurement of the production of high-pTelectrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 ATeV
No full textElectrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays (charm and beauty) were measured with the ALICE detector in Pb-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass of energy root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV. The transverse momentum (pT) differential production yields at mid-rapidity were used to calculate the nuclear modification factor R-AA in the interval 3 < p(T) < 18 GeV/c. The R-AA shows a strong suppression compared to binary scaling of pp collisions at the same energy (up to a factor of 4) in the 10% most central Pb-Pb collisions. There is a centrality trend of suppression, and a weaker suppression (down to a factor of 2) in semi-peripheral (50-80%) collisions is observed. The suppression of electrons in this broad p(T) interval indicates that both charm and beauty quarks lose energy when they traverse the hot medium formed in Pb-Pb collisions at LHC.

Rohingya refugees as victims of one-sided violence : Surviving camp life, envisaging the future
No full textThis study is about Rohingya refugees and camp life, in Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh. In terms of theory the starting point is the impact of one-sided violence on livelihoods of displaced people. It considers their past flight from Burma and their present struggles to survive amidst the resource shortages inside the refugee camps where they find themselves forcibly contained. The study aims to explore the strat-egies that Rohingya refugees use to survive in the restricting conditions of the camp, how they perceive violence and how violent displacement has affected their livelihoods. In addition, the study asked how Rohingya refugees envisage their future, and the prospects for return. In order to answer some of these questions, the author conducted a survey of 85 heads of households (80 male 5 female), selected randomly from two different sectors in two camps. Qualitative interviews were also conducted with 22 informants, 13 refugees, five locals and four NGO workers (in total 18 male 4 female). A pilot was conducted to refine the survey questions, and the final results collated through use of MS Excel to produce tables, graphs, diagrams and other visual representations of results. There were three key findings. First, the survey results and interviews confirm that the Rohingya are genuine refugees, in the sense that they fled and were unable to take their assets and documents with them. Second, in the present the study shows that they struggle to find means of living, work, money and basic services in the camp. Although they are fed, it is at subsistence level. Thirdly, return is unlikely for geo-strategic reasons, and is also not considered a serious possibility by the refugees themselves. Because of this, combined with the extent and duration of one-sided violence in Burma, the Rohingya now find them-selves unable to foresee their own future, whether in Bangladesh or elsewhere, and to plan accordingly. The study concludes that international attention is required to resolve the future of the Rohingya in a sustainable manner
Centrality dependence of the pseudorapidity density distribution for charged particles in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=5.02A TeV
No full textWe present the charged-particle pseudorapidity density in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV in centrality classes measured by ALICE. The measurement covers a wide pseudorapidity range from -3.5 to 5, which is sufficient for reliable estimates of the total number of charged particles produced in the collisions. For the most central (0-5%) collisions we find 21 400 +/- 1 300, while for the most peripheral (80-90%) we find 230 +/- 38. This corresponds to an increase of (27 +/- 4)% over the results at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV previously reported by ALICE. The energy dependence of the total number of charged particles produced in heavy-ion collisions is found to obey a modified power-law like behaviour. The charged-particle pseudorapidity density of the most central collisions is compared to model calculations-none of which fully describes the measured distribution. We also present an estimate of the rapidity density of charged particles. The width of that distribution is found to exhibit a remarkable proportionality to the beam rapidity, independent of the collision energy from the top SPS to LHC energies. (C) 2017 The Author(s).

Analysing the Performance of a Flat Plate Solar Collector with Silver/Water Nanofluid Using Artificial Neural Network
No full textAbstractIn the present study performance of flat plate solar collector with silver/water nanofluid is simulated using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The solar radiation heat flux was varied between 900W/m2 and 1000W/m2. The Reynolds number is varied from 5000 to 25000. The effect of radiation heat flux, mass flow rate, and inlet temperature on the heat transfer coefficient, thermal efficiency was analyzed. The ANN results were compared with the experimental results; also by using the ANN the thermal efficiency of flat plate solar collector was predicted up to the Reynolds number of 100000. It was observed from this study that, the ANN results agree well with the experimental results with the deviation less than ±2%
