Cloud hosted business-data driven BI platforms
No full textBusiness Intelligence in Platform as a Service (PaaS) for information analysis is increasingly being considered for its applications in the enterprises because of its advantages. It is widely used for Data Analysis, Customer Churn Prediction, etc. However, the challenges that the traditional BI platform faces includes the tremendous volume of data, high time and space complexity of algorithms and the incompatibility in the Integration to the BI tools. Thus instead of having traditional Data Warehouses for storage which require high maintenance and storages, companies are moving towards more efficient cloud based storages
Assessment and Prevention Of Falls In Elderly: Nurses’ Role
Get PDFFalls in elderlies has been a major concern in geriatric care. One out of three elderlies have
been falling every year and the many more elderlies are constantly at risk of falls. These falls
lead to serious injuries like hip fractures and build sense of fear in elderlies, which limit their
activities and degrade their quality of life.
There has been seen a huge need to enhance the skill and knowledge of the present and future
nurses to ensure that they are professionally and personally capable to identify the risk factors
and plan prevention strategies accordingly.
Literature review has been used in this thesis to find out the possible assessment methods to
assess the risk factors of falls in elderly, the vulnerable groups of elderlies who have higher
chances of falling. In addition, the possible falls prevention strategies have been studied and
laid out in this thesis.
A total of 11 relevant articles were obtained from a reliable database search.
The contents of the thesis have been categorized into distinct assessment and prevention
headings for ease of reading and finding required information. In the conclusion end, the author has presented his own ideas and discussed the additional need for safety of elderlies
Chorea-acanthocytosis: a case report
No full textLekhjung Thapa,1 Suman Bhattarai,1 Milan P Shrestha,1 Rajesh Panth,2 Dinesh Nath Gongal,3 Upendra Prasad Devkota,31Department of Neurology, 2Department of Pathology, 3Department of Neurosurgery, National Institute of Neurological and Allied Sciences, Kathmandu, Nepal Abstract: Neuroacanthocytosis is a group of rare disorders. We report a 36-year-old right-handed female who presented with gradually progressive abnormal facial movements, generalized weakness, and lower-lip biting starting 4 years ago. On examination, she had lower-lip ulcer, orofacial dyskinesias, and peripheral neuropathy. Her peripheral blood smears showed acanthocytosis and magnetic resonance imaging revealed atrophied head of caudate nuclei and putaminal hyperintensities on T2-weighted and fluid attenuated inversion recovery images. Work-up for autoimmune and metabolic causes was negative. She was diagnosed with chorea-acanthocytosis, an entity under neuroacanthocytosis syndrome and the patient was offered symptomatic treatment. Keywords: acanthocytes, lip-biting, neuroacanthocytosis, orofacial dyskinesia, movement disorde

Heterogeneous networking testbeds integration and wireless network virtualization
No full textNetworking research has grown immensely over the past few years. This has urged the need for a heterogeneous networking research infrastructure, to experiment with the interaction and integration of different types of networks. This requirement led to the Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) effort, supported by NSF, which aims at creating a global infrastructure for conducting networking experiments across diverse substrates such as
wired, wireless, sensor and cellular networks. In this work, we discuss challenges involved in federating two diverse testbeds - PlanetLab and ORBIT and present a model for building a united
infrastructure for the models. PlanetLab is a global research wired network that supports the development of new network services. ORBIT
is a laboratory-based wireless network emulator for 802.11 testing.
An integrated wired-wireless testbed will increase the scalability of experimentation. Proof-of-concept experiments are also presented reinforcing the usefulness of the model in terms of facilitating experiments over the integrated infrastructure.
Such an integrated infrastructure poses a requirement of support for wireless network virtualization - supporting multiple concurrent
wireless experiments. Unlike wired networks, wireless networks present unique challenges making the task of wireless virtualization
a difficult problem. The critical problem of simultaneous experimentation in networks involving the wireless medium are identified and approaches towards it are discussed. We evaluate and compare two approaches towards wireless virtualization - SDMA (Space Division Channel Multiplexing) and VAP (Virtual AP Channel Multiplexing) suitable for supporting long running experiments. In this study conducted on ORBIT we quantify the difference in
performance and interference when using wireless virtualization and suggest measures to mitigate the same. The feasibilty study will serve as the first step towards ORBIT virtualization.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 63-65)
