Introduction: Patients with low back pain (LBP) present at different points in its genesis, with symptom severity and effects on quality of life a major factor in the timing of presentation. Gluteus maximus, biceps femoris along with paraspinal muscles are the most important muscles of the group. There is group action of all these muscles in a particular sequence which is necessary for smooth spinal movements and stabilized spine during dynamic state of the body.
Methodology:
Study design: Experimental
Study setting: Gian Sagar Medical College and Hospital Patiala
Sampling: Random sampling technique
Sample size: 30 patients in group A which is control group and 30 patients in group B which is experimental group.
30 patients were included in 2 groups each group 1 was treated with routine physiotherapy as control group whereas group 2 was treated with routine physiotherapy along with gluteus maximus activation (isometric contraction of gluteus maximus in lengthened position). Outcome measures were taken in terms of VAS scale before and after the treatment daily for 10 days.
Result: Group 2 treated with gluteus maximus activation got relief early than group 1 although group 1 also got relief but took more number of days when compared with group 2.
Conclusion: Gluteus maximus activation should also be considered while treating mechanical low back pain.

The purpose of this study is to compare pedogenic carbonates which have accumulated in varying climatic conditions in Quaternary deposits of North India. The pedogenic horizons sampled for the purpose are from the dunal/interdunal tract of parts of Rajasthan and from the Upper Karewa sub-Group of Kashmir valley. These pedogenic carbonates reveal an overall preponderance of micrite in both the situations. Similarity in the form of presence of voids and floating textures is also observed. The pedogenic carbonates of the Upper Karewa SUb-Group show a greater degree of corrosion and replacement indicating a more reactive microchemical environment. The presence of ferroan calcite in the pedogenic carbonates of Kashmir and its absence in those of Rajasthan further bears out the reducing character of the palaeoenvironment of the carbonate layer underlying the loess in the Kashmir valley.- A Simple and Fast Method for Soft Rock Impregnation

Literally speaking blast means explosion. Wheat blast directly strikes wheat ear and renders grains shrunken, shrivelled and deformed within a week of initial symptoms giving no time to farmers to react. Blast is known to infect many grasses such as rice, wheat, barley, etc. In fact, rice blast has been one of the most important and damaging rice diseases, whereas wheat blast is of relatively recent occurrence.Full Text

Objectives: This paper presents a framework or approach for prioritizing the requirements for an ERP Implementation. Method: Proposed a novel framework or algorithm which calculates and ranks for the requirements based on priority rules such as ROI, available alternatives. Findings: The algorithm considers requirements as inputs and outputs the priority of processes in ERP Implementation. Improvement: The work can be extended to find the new variables and coefficient of performance or inclusion of constraints and paired requirements.Keywords

The 80 K liquid nitrogen distribution system is one of the essential sub-systems of SST-1 cryogenics system. It consists of 80 K Thermal shields, current feeders system, integrated flow distribution and control system, pre-cooling heat exchanges and purifier of helium plant system. The maximum operating pressure of liquid nitrogen is 1.9 bar (a) from the source storage tanks. Preliminary, authors observed the frosting in one of the section of return LN2 cryo line near the phase separator interface. Due to this problem, they were unable to collect the phase separated LN2 in the sub-cooler back. Appropriate investigation of leaks, reason for the leaks identified. Welding protocols (ASME section IX) and replacement of Bellows (as per EJMA standards) were carried out under satisfying the flexibility criteria. The evacuation of transfer lines, insulation wrapping, welding and assembly in congested space and safety aspect at 12 m height were the challenges experienced during repairing task. Due to this activity, the huge amount of LN2 fluid has been saved.
In this paper, authors will mainly focus on the identification of weld leaks, welding and repairing process, vacuum evacuation process, design of sealing set up, NDT testing of weld joints and helium leak testing at operating condition of cryogenic transfer lines after welding task.

A simple, precise and accurate HPLC method has been validated to measure lamivudine and zidovudine at single wavelength (270 nm) in order to assess in vitro drug release profile of drug from tablet formulation. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a Hypersil SS C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5μm) analytical column. Methanol was used as the mobile phase, at a flow rate of 1 ml/min. The release of lamivudine and zidovudine from in dissolution medium (distilled water) and in the reference dissolution medium (0.1 N HCl) was studied using the USP type II apparatus. The parameters similarity factor, according to current FDA guidelines, dissolution efficiency, t50 and dissolution rate constant (k) were employed to compare dissolution profiles. It was concluded that test dissolution method was equivalent to the reference dissolution method.

Objectives: ERP Implementations are known for high failure rates and crossing the defined budget and schedule. The alarming figures produced in various studies have called for the need of Framework for ERP implementations. The objective is to propose a framework hybrid of Lean Thinking and Agile Methodologies to implement ERP systems to curtail schedule deviation, effort deviation and increase the quality. Methods/Analysis: To achieve the objective a new framework called “GenNext” has been proposed. The framework is in inception stage and is evolving continuously. The framework was applied to few controlled environment projects. The results, thus obtained, prima facie approves the framework. Future Work: The framework can be applied to large scale ERP Implementations and can be refined further. Findings: GenNext framework was able to save effort in a range of 15-20% from the traditional models. Applications: GenNext Framework can be used to optimize the projects implementing any COTS software such as ERP or Business Intelligence Implementations.Keywords
