    No full text
    This article discusses Don DeLillo’s Falling Man as a novel that explores the post traumatic stress disorder, a psychological shock and its effect after the attack on the Twin Tower on September 2011. People witnessed the attack. Media telecasted the attack immediately and repeatedly. It created a sensation throughout the world. People started questioning their beliefs. This article explores the mental state of the characters, Keith and Lianne of Falling Man. The crucial and pitiable  status of the characters are detailed in this article. &nbsp

    Anaesthetic management of a patient with Cushing′s syndrome and non-compaction cardiomyopathy for adrenal tumour resection

    No full text
    We describe the anaesthetic management of adrenalectomy in a patient with Cushing′s syndrome due to adrenal mass with coexisting non-compaction cardiomyopathy. The problems due to hypersecretion of cortisol in Cushing′s syndrome were compounded by the association of a rare form of genetic cardiomyopathy with very few guidelines regarding the perioperative management. The knowledge about the pathophysiological changes, clinical presentation and complications in non-compaction cardiomyopathy is essential for planning the anaesthetic care, and the aim of this presentation is to highlight the issues crucial for management of such challenging patients

    Opportunistic Routing Protocol for Resource Optimization in Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Networks (VDTN)

    No full text
    VDTNs (Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Networks) are a breakthrough-based DTN solution for vehicular communications in difficult situations of long delays and intermittent connectivity. This technology uses the store-carry-and-forward model to enable in-transit bundles to arrive at their destination asynchronously, hop by hop, over moving vehicles fitted with short-range wireless devices. The VDTN architecture is based on out-of-band signalling with separate control and data planes, and it employs an IP over VDTN strategy. This paper presents an Opportunistic Routing Protocol called OPRNET, which works on the routing decisions based on global location data, and merges a hybrid technique between multiple-copy and single-copy approaches. It also improves the performance by minimized energy consumption in vehicular communication approach. The simulation results from our proposed approach suggest that OPRNET is feasible and can be viewed as a very important technology for vehicular communications, though it does include appropriated technologies for outline interferences and QOS support. OPRNET attempts to optimize network capacity such as storage, latency, and energy consumption while increasing distribution chance and reducing latency and overhead

    Textile UWB Antenna with Metamaterial for Healthcare Monitoring

    No full text
    A new metamaterial-based UWB band-notched textile antenna for body area network (BAN) with an operational frequency range of 3 GHz to 11 GHz is created in this paper. The ultra-ide band (UWB) frequency band is covered by the antenna (3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz). The antennas are smaller because of the usage of denim (jeans) material, which has a permittivity of 1.67. To increase the impedance transmission capacity, the ground plane is reduced to a partly rectangular conductive substance. The hexagonal cut on the bottom side is utilised to boost bandwidth by enhancing the electric field dispersion at the edges. The fabrication is built of a 1 mm thick denim (jeans) substrate, and the feed is a traditional microstrip feed. The return loss and gain characteristics of the proposed antenna are investigated. The performance of a specified antenna is investigated step by step with variable feed length, feed breadth, and substrate properties
