Background/Objectives: An attempt is made in this paper to find out the demographic background of the leprosy patents, facilities available to the patients toward curing/treating leprosy and treatment procedure followed by the respondents in the study area.
Methods/Statistical analysis: Convenient sampling technique is used to selection of the study area. For the purpose of the study, Salur Mandal, Vizianagaram district, Andhra Pradesh, India is selected.
Findings: In the study, it is observed in most cases that if the leprosy attacked at early age, then the diseased disliked going to school. Of the total patients, about 34 (94.44%) were related to Multibacillary leprosy (MB) and 2 (5.56%) were Paucibacillary patients. About 77.78 per cent were getting entire treatment for free of cost/any additional expenses involved and 36.11 % patients have MCR foot wears. About 69.44 % of the respondents were cured of leprosy related secondary complications. According to 50 per cent of the patients, reconstructive Surgery facilities are also available to them. But artificial Limbs are not supplied at required manner. The study suggests that the respondents' age may play an important role in expressing stigma arising as a consequence of their misconceptions.
Improvements/Applications: Therefore, health education messages need to be age-specific to effectively target the intended audience and address the specific misconceptions identified by the study as giving rise to stigmatizing behaviours among the selected subpopulation.

In this paper, a vibration suppression scheme is proposed for the riding comfort of elevator using dead time elimination scheme. Dead time is used for pulse width-modulation (PWM) controlled inverter/converter control to avoid shoot through of high-side and low-side power devices. To deal with dead time problems polarity of current detection is necessary The presented scheme does not require current sensors for polarity detection. Depending on the polarity of terminal voltage of each leg the current polarity is determined. Current polarity is detected regularly with a sampling frequency which is higher than the switching frequency to reduce the detection error. Hence separate power supplies are not required which reduces the bulkiness and cost of this scheme. Based on the polarity of sensed voltage the SPWM signals are generated to turn ON the switches of inverter. The presented scheme eliminates the dead time and therefore improves output voltage loss and current distortion and torque ripples. The corresponding elevator vibrations are conspicuously reduced. Simulation results for single phase and three phase inverter are done in MATLAB. The above scheme is verified by implementing it in a single phase inverter controlled motor. Hardware results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the scheme.Keywords

In this paper, a single phase z source matrix converter is proposed for wind turbine generation system for induction heating application. The converter can buck and boost with step-changed frequency, and both the frequency and the voltage can be stepped up or stepped down. The matrix converter converts the high frequency of the micro turbine generator output to conventional frequency based upon applications. In addition, the converter employs a safe-commutation strategy to conduct along a continuous current path, which results in the elimination of voltage spikes on switches without the need for a snubber circuit. The operating principles of the proposed single-phase Z-source buck–boost matrix converter are described, and a circuit analysis is provided. Hence by using this method the output voltage from a wind turbine generation system can be buck and boost with step-changed frequency. Simulation results and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the scheme and the results are verified for the output voltage of frequency 100Hz.Keywords

Cloud infrastructure service provider allows the users to place their business application into availability zone across various regions world-wide by enabling enterprises like amazon with sufficient capability. Amazon EC2 is an instance to be placed in a zone to provision their resources to run their own applications. Multiple availability zones are composed and located in single region each one is different from its character specification because of its hardware and software built version. These zones allows achieving higher availability with lower failure rates but may results in different quality of service against user requirements. This situation may not advertised by cloud infrastructure service provider. In this paper, we proposed the prediction model build by repeated k-fold cross validation, which overcomes the prediction error Type-I exist in k-fold cross validation. This proposed technique helps us to predict optimum availability zone with best user satisfaction level for amazons EC2 placement in heterogeneous environment.Keywords

Purpose: As the development of modern drug discovery techniques, there has been increase in the number of pharmaceutical compounds that are poorly water soluble. These lipophilic compounds possess low dissolution rate and therefore low bioavailability. The Formulation scientists should adopt various strategies to enhance their absorption. This paper is an insight for improving the solubility of poorly water soluble compounds.
Approach: Lipidic formulations are found to be a promising approach to combat the solubility challenges. Self Micro Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (SMEDDS) are gaining more attention for improving the solubility of the lipophilic drugs.
Findings: SMEDDS are isotropic mixtures of oil, surfactant and co surfactant and are vital tool in solving low bioavailability problems of poorly soluble drugs. Lipophilic drugs can be dissolved in these systems, enabling them to be administered per orally. When this is released into the lumen it results in w/o microemulsion with the aid of G.I fluid.
Conclusion: This present review describes various formulation components, mechanism of emulsification, biopharm aspects, characterization methods and application of SMEDDS.

This paper presents a performance of eccentrically braced frame under the action of unexpected seismic event. To control the lateral displacements, initially researchers started experimental investigations on concentric braces to steel moment resisting frames. During severe earthquake, moment resisting frames undergo large lateral displacement and it requires special concentration to control lateral displacement and to limit the damage to non-structural elements. The concept of incorporating braces eccentrically attracted the interest of researchers and which behave excellent energy dissipation both in tension and compression in accepts of seismic performance seems to improve ductile strength in concern with shear or flexural yielding of a link element. This paper attempts to study the seismic performance of steel moment resisting frames with eccentric braces to target the lesser storey maximum displacement compared to the conventional braced system during undesirable earthquakes. In the previous research recommended that the influence of controlled yielding in the beams is not determined to EBF performance as long as stability of the beam is maintained. The provided EBF models were selected and investigated through three dimensional, linear analyses. Three steel framed structures (6 story, 9 story and 15 story) are designed as per IS 1893-2002 for calculating seismic loads by the equivalent lateral force procedure and their final performances of structure are evaluated through linear analysis using ETABS 2015.Keywords

Noise removing in the medical image is still a challenging task in the research field especially for the imaging devices like mammogram and ultra-sound. Even though advance scanning technology has been invented, these conventional devices play a vital role in scanning the mammogram breast cancer and fetus images. During the image acquisition itself, these images will get corrupted by the physical interference which appears as a noise in an image and affects its visual quality. In this paper we have applied the various traditional and conventional mean based noise removal techniques for the impulse noise corrupted mammogram breast image and standard benchmark. From this comparative analysis we have found that alpha-trimmed mean filters gives the better result than the other filters in terms of PSNR, SSIM and visual quality.Keywords

Objective:This study was designed to determine the role of leukotriene receptor antagonist as an add on therapy to β2-agonists in acute asthma. Methods: A prospective study carried out in ESIC hospital in which the total number of 100 patients were enrolled. The study has two arms, the group A treated with salbutamol alone and the group B treated with salbutamol and montelukast. The symptomatic changes and variation in pulmonary function test (PFT), pulse rate (PR), respiratory rate (RR) were compared between both the group. The data were collected, compiled, analysed with statistical tools (SPSS – Microsoft Version 6). Results: In comparison of force expiratory volume % (FEV1 PRED) between the group A and group B, after 24 hours significant change was noticed in group B. The results of forced expiratory volume/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC%) shows a significant difference after 24 hours of the treatment with salbutamol in group A and salbutamol plus leukotriene receptor antagonist (Montelukast) from the baseline measurement. Base line asthma score shows p value (p = 0.58). But after 48 hours, significant change was noticed in both groups. p value was significant (p = 0.05). In group B, asthma score was significantly improved with passage of time. Conclusion: The study revealed the effectiveness of leukotriene receptor antagonist in preventing many types of aggravated asthmatic responses. Once-daily treatment with 10 mg of montelukast, as compared with β2-agonists, provided significant protection against severe broncho-constriction. Parameters strongly confirmed the role of leukotriene receptor antagonist when in addition added with β2-agonists.Keywords

Calcifying odontogenic cyst was first described by Gorlin, so the name, Gorlin cyst. Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst (COC) is rare in occurrence and usually asymptomatic in nature. It is an uncommon benign odontogenic neoplasm which may show characteristics of both a cyst and solid neoplasm. Its clinical and radiographic features may mimic other odontogenic cysts or tumors, and a definitive diagnosis can only be arrived on histological examination. We report a classic case of calcifying odontogenic cyst in a 50 year old patient.Keywords
