PRIMARY sensitivity tests were done with 300 specimens from different clinical sources, of which 185 (61.7%) gave successful reproducible results. 158 specimens (52.6%) gave pure growth of single organism, 74 (24.6%) gave mixed growths and 68 (22.6%); gave no growth. Identical results were obtained when some of the primary sensitivity tests were compared with those of the pure culture using the same method. Quick results, identification of resistant mutants, selective growth of mixed culture, and the possibility of an early efficient start of treatment for acute infections are the advantages claimed. Economy of effort and materials was achieved by a preliminaty microscopic screening, avoiding specimens with possible heavy contamination, including specimens for those who needed quick early treatment avoiding repetition of the tests by including special antibiotics and drugs for those expecting bacterial growths of marked drug resistance.Keywords

Wireless Communication, Vol 8, No 7 (2016), Pagination: 295-297Abstract
The Idea of Designing and Implementation of Security Based ATM theft project is born with the observation in our real life incidents happening around us. This project deals with prevention of ATM theft from robberies and to overcome the drawback found in existing technology in our society. This system uses controller based embedded system to process real time data collected using the vibration sensor. Whenever the thief attempts to break ATM, vibration sensor used here senses the vibration produced from ATM machine and a beep sound will occur from the buzzer also when the thief threatens the person in ATM, the person should enter the pin in reverse order so that DC Motor is used for closing the door of ATM. Servo motor is used to leak the gas inside the ATM to bring the thief into unconscious stage. The status of the ATM will be sent to the bank management and the nearby police station through GSM. This will prevent the robbery and the person involving in robbery can be easily caught. Here, CCS compiler is used to compile the coding and ISP tools are used to implement the idea and results are obtained.

The voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC) in a weak network is very sensitive to load changes. A sudden change in active load will cause both a phase jump and a magnitude fluctuation in the bus voltage, whereas reactive load changes mainly affect the voltage magnitude. With the addition of energy storage to aActive Power Conditioner (APC), it is possible to compensate for the active power change as well as providing reactive power support. In this paper some effective active power compensation schemes are proposed. Simulation results are also presented showing the benefits of active power compensation to certain applications with phase sensitive load. This paper presents a novel control strategy for achieving maximum benefits from these grid-interfacing inverters when installed in 3-phase 4-wire distribution systems. The inverter is controlled to perform as a multi-function device by incorporating active power filter functionality. The inverter can thus be utilized as: 1) power converter to inject power generated from RES to the grid, and 2) shunt APF to compensate current unbalance, load current harmonics, load reactive power demand and load neutral current. All of these functions may be accomplished either individually or simultaneously. This new control concept is demonstrated with extensive MATLAB/Simulink. Finally the proposed shceme is applied for both unbalanced linear and non linear loads.Keywords

Cloud Computing is the revolution in current generation IT enterprise. Cloud computing displaces database and application software to the large data centres, where the management of services and data may not be predictable, where as the conventional solutions, for IT services are under proper logical, physical and personal controls. This aspect attribute, however comprises different security challenges which have not been well understood. It concentrates on cloud data storage security which has always been an important aspect of quality of service (QOS). In this paper, we designed and simulated an adaptable and efficient scheme to guarantee the correctness of user data stored in the cloud and also with some prominent features. Homomorphic token is used for distributed verification of erasure – coded data. By using this scheme, we can identify misbehaving servers. In spite of past works, our scheme supports effective and secure dynamic operations on data blocks such as data insertion, deletion and modification. In contrast to traditional solutions, where the IT services are under proper physical, logical and personnel controls, cloud computing moves the application software and databases to the large data centres, where the data management and services may not be absolutely truthful. This effective security and performance analysis describes that the proposed scheme is extremely flexible against malicious data modification, convoluted failures and server clouding attacks.Keywords
