Abstract

This paper studies Stackelberg model in repeated game with the learning attitude of the follower and leader-follower. Leader player (firm-A) and follower player (firm-B) produce the homogeneous good in initial period. Follower does not want to be a follower always, but want to work with equal profit gainer at least. In finite periods play, both firms tent to produce the homogeneous good as per Cournot Game due to having leader-firm's farsightedness in production of good. Both the Firms collude and produce less than Nash-Cournot equilibrium to maximize its profit in each period.

Abstract

A study of patients with renal failure undergoing hemodialysis was conducted at renal dialysis unit and OPD of psychiatry department ,at Patna medical college&hospital to establish point prevalence of psychiatric co-morbidity in these patients.Patients of all age group, from all economic classes were recruited. Patients were assessed for common mental disorders using the MINI ( MINI International neuropsychiatric interview). They were defined according to ICD 10/ DSM IV criteria. Total 60 patients were assessed in which 30 patients satisfied the criteria for the different common mental disorders. Hopelessness, restlessness, were most common presentation. Suicidal ideation was significantly associated with these patients.

Abstract

Introduction: Dengue fever is caused by dengue virus and transmitted by Aedes mosquito, is an acute febrile condition. Psychiatric manifestation is seen in large number of patients.

Aim: This study was targeted to establish psychological disturbances seen in acute and Follow up cases of dengue fever. It can be helpful in managing such cases efficiently.

Material&Methods: 60 consecutive dengue patients who were admitted in sarawathi Institute of Medical Sciences, Hapur from June 2012- October 2012 was studied for the psychological disturbance. It also assessed the progression of symptoms with the progression of disease.

Results: out of 60 patients, approximately 85% presented fear of death, 75% patients presented with anxiety and needed mild anxiolytic medicines. Depression and panic reaction was very common.

Conclusion: Phobic and anxiety symptoms are very common initial presentation. But gradually subsides. By the end of 4week, maximum symptoms subsides and patient gets relief.Depression can continue for longer period.

Abstract

In the present communication four new combinations of Abacopteris species under the name Pronephrium are proposed as the generic name Abacopteris Fee has been antedated by Pronephrium Presl (Holttum, 1971 ; Holttum and Chandra, 1971). The morphology of sporophyte and gametophyte of five Indian species of Pronephrium viz. P. lakhimpurense, P. nudatum, P. penangianum, P. stenopodum and P. triphyllum is also described.

Abstract

Objective: The present work relates the need for change and how Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) technology could prove a better alternative than the existing gasifiers in India. Background/Analysis: India is an energy deficit nation although it has rich coal reserves and biomass diversity. India ranks 3rd in world coal production, but it is low in grade comprising of high ash content. Biomass present in abundance includes bio-residue like bagasse, rice husk and saw dust beside other prominent crops that are found in India. Gasification technology is widely accepted way of harnessing these abundant energy resource. Findings: Presently conventional fixed bed gasifiers are installed in different regions of the country but this is gradually becoming obsolete. CFB gasification is at present an emerging technology for harnessing this vast resource of biomass and coal efficiently and environment friendly in India. It has evolved as an environment friendly technology for utilizing different of carbonaceous fuels like peat, lignite, biomass etc., for producing fuel gas with improved energy conversion ratio. A comprehensive survey has been conducted to study the CFB gasifiers and gasification processes in CFB so that it can be designed for scale-up and direct use in existing and upcoming related industries in India. This paper analyzes the feasibility of adopting the circulating fluidized bed technology for utilization of low grade coal and biomass available in India. Novelty/Applications/Improvements: Road map for adoption of CFB gasification technology for decentralized rural power production in India along with its future scope has been discussed.
