Objective: Cost effective preparation of plastinated specimen for teaching and learning.Material & Method: This study was conducted by using organs collected from abattoirs and fetus received from our hospital. The specimens were plastinated by four different methods of using ethanol, acetone, GP Resin, RL resin.
Result: The specimens made by different method were durable, odorless, and served the purpose of Teaching. Plastinated snakes helped the students study the scale pattern of snakes and to Learn how to identify poisonous snake from non-poisonous ones.
Conclusion: The use of plastination technique will allow students to understand gross beyond the two Dimensional level. Cost effective methods can be developed using locally available Materials, thus allowing for greater acceptance at all the medical schools.

Background: conventional back care exercise is usually advocated to treat pain and to strengthen the involved muscles, and there will be always chance of pain reoccurrence due to disproportionate balance and stability in the muscles. The core stabilization is major trend of rehabilitation as it aims at improving stability during functional activities, balance, flexibility, strength training and effectively manage the pain as well.
Objective: To introduce the efficacy of concept of core stabilization when compared to conventional back care exercise in patients with mechanical low back pain.
Methods: 40 patients with chronic mechanical low back pain were selected through purposive sampling and were randomly assigned to control group that received conventional back exercise and short wave diathermy (n=20), both group received short wave diathermy, along with conventional exercise for one group and core stabilization for the other group 3 days in week for 6 weeks, the treatment out come was assessed by visual analogue scale, Roland Morris disability scale and lumbar range of motion by using goniometry.
Results: after 6 week training period the core stabilization group scored significantly higher than conventional group for vas (p=0.05), and rmdq (p=0.05) where as range of motion improved in conventional group.
Conclusion: after the treatment sessions core stabilization group registered a significant improvement when compared to conventional back care exercise in improving function and relieving pain.

Switched capacitor readout is the most widely used architecture for capacitive sensing. Capacitive sensing is based on charge-voltage relationship, the same foundation on which the SC circuits operate. SC circuit provides a virtual ground and robust dc biasing at the sensing node so that the sensed signal is insensitive to parasitic capacitance and undesirable charging. In switched capacitor circuits, the sense and reference capacitors are charged with opposite polarities and a packet of charge proportional to the capacitance difference is integrated on the input feedback capacitor. In this paper, the switched capacitor technique is incorporated into a simple inverting amplifier to study its significance in submicron IC technology. Analysis on the design constraints required for SC circuits is studied in the paper. Switched capacitor readout front end circuit uses correlated double sampling technique for finite gain, noise reduction and offset cancellation. Simulations are done using 180nm level 49 library with the supply tied at 5V. Circuit achieves a noise reduction of more than 50% and a significant reduction in area is observed.Keywords

Although sigma-delta concepts existed since the middle of the century, only recent advances in VLSI technologies have made possible the appropriate handling of the bit stream generated by the 1-bit ADC. The spread spectrum nature of this noise shaping modulator suppresses the error in the baseband, thus improving dynamic range in the band of interest, independent of signal frequency. Paper presents a CMOS circuit design of second order sigma delta modulator with an option of selecting the order. Comparative study of first and second order sigma delta modulators is performed and best value of OSR is selected. The circuit is simulated in HSPICE 180nm level49 library. Analysis of the noise and power results of the first and second order ΣΔ modulator leads to the design of an order switchable sigma delta modulator, which is based on the resolution of ADC.Keywords

Big Data is a hype up-springing many technical challenges that confront both academic research communities and commercial IT deployment. It is generally known that data which are sourced from data streams accumulate making traditional batch-based model induction algorithms. Feature selection has been popularly used to lighten the processing. Optimal feature subset which is derived grows exponentially in size. In order to tackle this problem, a novel lightweight feature selection is proposed and it is designed particularly for mining streaming data on the fly, by using accelerated particle swarm optimization (APSO) which is achieved with good accuracy also with reasonable processing time. In this paper, the data in the disk are processed in subsequent iterations.
