Name-bearing type(s): one specimen described in Forsskål (1775), holotype by monotypy, lost. Type locality: " Yemen ", hence probably in present-day Yemen. Remarks on name-bearing type(s). According to Forsskål (1775), the description is based on a single specimen ("Unum tantum mihi videre licuit") which is thus the holotype by monotypy. The type is lost: most of the material from Forsskål's travel has been lost during the return journey; a few specimens (mostly dry fishes) are still kept in the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen but no snake (M. Andersen, pers. com.).Published as part of Crochet, Pierre-André, Rasmussen, Jens B., Wilms, Thomas, Geniez, Philippe, Trape, Jean-François & Böhme, Wolfgang, 2008, Systematic status and correct nomen of the western North African cat snake: Telescopus tripolitanus (Werner, 1909) (Serpentes: Colubridae), with comments on the other taxa in the dhara-obtusus group, pp. 25-46 in Zootaxa 1703 (1) on page 37, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.1703.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/510736

Incorporating shrinkage effects in FE modeling of prestressed concrete bridge
No full textRight from the inception of the implementation of prestressed concrete in the bridge construction field, it has been very popular. Even though this type of bridges has big advantages, cracking is a major problem. The cracking event, due to its detrimental effects on the structure is the most objectionable problem. In cracking shrinkage plays a very significant role. This implies that the study of shrinkage is essential to study the phenomenon of cracking. Due to many variables responsible for deck cracking, it is very difficult to study the overall effect of these variegated factors taken in the consideration at a time. This thesis aims to confluence as many such aspects as possible in a single plane of consideration with the help of Finite Element software namely ABAQUS. The goal of this research is to study shrinkage, shrinkage effects, and factors affecting the shrinkage and ultimately to incorporate the shrinkage effects in Finite Element Modeling. Here the study is constrained to Prestressed Concrete Bridge. Thus, the research is carried to incorporate the shrinkage effects in FE Modeling of Prestressed Concrete Bridge. This is a difficult task as many finite element programs do not have pre-programmed methods for simulating the time dependent properties of concrete. Therefore, it is necessary to develop these methods. This study concentrates on trying to simulate the behavior of a simple span bridge as a means of developing the basic analytical method. In the research Abaqus has been selected and the selection has been justified for the purpose of analyzing time dependent effects in bridges. A parametric study has been carried out with a view to identifying the effects of various parameters of shrinkage in a structure. The effects of the parameters such as length of the span, girder spacing, deck thickness and modulus of elasticity of girder have been analyzed with the help of bridges modeled in Abaqus. The parametric study concludes that shrinkage strain increases with increase in length and spacing of girder. The shrinkage strain decreases with increase in compressive strength of girder and deck thickness.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Dhara Puran
Effect of Supplementation of Milk Dhara on Milk Yield and Milk Composition in Graded Murrah Buffaloes
Full text linkThe experiment was carried out to study the effect of feeding Milk Dhara supplement on milk yield and composition in lactating buffaloes. Twelve multiparous (2nd/3rd lactation) graded Murrah buffaloes (450 ± 25 kg) in mid lactation (3-4 months) were divided into two groups of six animals each (control and treatment). Animals in both the groups received a basal diet comprising of Hybrid Napier, paddy straw and concentrates while the buffaloes in the treatment group were fed same basal diet plus Milk Dhara (M/S Zydus AHL, Ahmedabad) containing rumen stable bypass fat and protein at 100 g/buffalo/day. Results revealed that milk yield (kg/d), 6% FCM yield (kg/d) and all milk constituents except SNF % increased significantly with addition of supplement containing rumen bypass fat and protein in the diet. Thus, it can be concluded that supplementation of Milk Dhara at 100g/buffalo/day improved milk yield and milk composition in graded Murrah buffaloes

Full text linkA Randomised Comparative Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Sadhyovirechana with Gandharvahastadi Eranda Taila followed by Agnilepa and Dhanyamla Dhara in the Management of Amavata
Full text linkAmavata is a Kruchrasadya vyadhi caused due to formation of Ama, vitiation of Vata and Agni vaishamya. Madhavakara mentions it as a ‘Sa kashtah sarva roganam’. Amavata is an Ama pradhana vyadhi, it requires Ama pachana as primary management. Hence in the present study, Sadhyovirechana as Abhyantara Shodhana Chikitsa followed by Bahya chikitsa in the form of Agnilepa and Dhanyamla Dhara in two different groups were used to evaluate their efficacy in the management of Amavata. Aims and Objectives: 1. To evaluate the efficacy of Sadhyovirechana with Gandharvahastadi Eranda Taila followed by Agnilepa in Amavata. 2. To evaluate the efficacy of Sadhyovirechana with Gandharvahastadi Eranda Taila followed by Dhanyamla dhara in Amavata. 3. To compare the efficacy of both the groups in Amavata. Methods: This is a comparative clinical study with pre-test & post-test design where in 40 patients diagnosed with Amavata of either sex were randomly assigned into two groups viz., Group A & Group B. Intervention: Group A: Sadhyovirechana on 1st day followed by Agnilepa for next 7 days. Group B: Sadhyovirechana on 1st day followed by Dhanyamla Dhara for next 7 days. Results: The effect of the treatment in both the groups were assessed by applying Wilcoxon’s rank sum test within the groups and Mann-Whitney U test between the groups, it showed that Group A showed better results than Group B. Conclusion: It can be concluded from the study that in the management of Amavata, Sadhyovirechana followed by Agnilepa and Dhanyamala Dhara Chikitsa drugs and procedures of both the groups are highly effective in treating Amavata
Arterial flow based transfer function and ascending aorta pressure waveform estimation
No full textHypertension has been recognized as a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases. It is principally determined by the amount of the blood ejected by the heart and the properties of the receiving arteries. There is a strong correlation of a reduction in large artery compliance and high blood pressure. Thus, it is important to identify the causative factors that contribute to the severity of hypertension in terms of blood pressure, flow and mechanical properties of arteries. Numerous methods have been used to measure peripheral arterial blood pressure. As pressure waveform travels away from heart, it is amplified because of increased elastic stiffness which gives rise to wave reflections. As a result, peripheral pressure cannot accurately describe cardiovascular events. On the other hand, central aortic pressure is a much better predictor, but it can only be measured directly with an invasive catheter. For this reason, several pressure-based generalized transfer function methods have been proposed. In this thesis, a novel flow-based generalized transfer function is established. This new method is tested using carotid flow waveform as an input to predict ascending aortic flow. Additionally a three element windkessel model was used to predict ascending aortic pressure. Results show good correspondence of predicted ascending aortic flow and pressure. The present approach can be effectively applied in clinical situations where either peripheral arterial flow or ascending aortic flow noninvasively obtained by Doppler ultrasound can be used to obtain ascending aortic pressure. The derived aortic pressure waveform can then be further analyzed in terms of large artery compliance and systolic pressure augmentation, both critical in determining the severity of hypertension.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Dhara Zal

No full textA CLINICAL STUDY TO STANDARDIZE THE PROCEDURE OF DHANYAMLA DHARA AND TO ASSESS ITS EFFICACY IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Full text linkIn this era of globalization and standardization there is a dire need to arrive at a consensus in the approach to the treatment of the diseases in Ayurveda. It is an essential tool not only for proper understanding of the pathology, appropriate diagnosis, and treatment, but also for scientific documentation and generation evidence for global acceptance and appreciation among the scientific community.
Classics clearly demarcate the effects of Sweda as an operative and as a pre-operative/post-operative (or both procedures). Considering the therapeutic importance of one such Swedana modality, study was attempted on standardization of the procedure of Dhanyamla dhara, a form of Parisheka sweda.
Based on the references in the classics, the data collected through questionnaires and personal interviews a protocol was developed and it was clinically tested in the disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis. The study was carried out in the Department of Panchakarma, Government Ayurveda College, Tripunithura. Patients diagnosed of Rheumatoid Arthritis (As per American College of Rheumatology revised criteria 1987) under the age group of 16-60 years were selected according to the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the IP Unit. Assessment was done by using clinical parameters (objective and subjective) before treatment and after treatment. The results were statistically analyzed using the most appropriate statistical tests. Significant results were noted in all the clinical parameters such as joint pain, joint swelling, tenderness, general functional capacity signifying the effectiveness of Dhanyamla dhara in improving the clinical features and quality of patients life
