HIV/AIDS continues to spread globally and remains a worldwide pandemic. In the present study, a total number of 100 biosamples were collected from the HIV positive patients attending the Social Welfare Organizations and HIV Counseling and Testing Centers of Teaching hospital of Trichy in India were enrolled and screened. Bacterial pneumonia and bacteremia occur at a higher frequency among HIV infected patients. Opportunistic infections (OI) are most common in immunocompromised patients which are the leading cause of death in HIV-infected patients. To create awareness among HIV patients for taking control or preventive measures against the opportunistic bacterial and fungal infections, an analysis was done in this present study. Appropriate use of antibiotics against these OI may be one of the strategies to extend the life span of the AIDS patients.Keywords

The evaluation and performance analysis of software architecture at the design level increases the quality of the software and also reduces the cost of rework during the later stages of the product. The derivation of performance results of a software product, during the early stages of the software life cycle can be achieved by quantitatively evaluating the software performance model. There has been lot of research identifying the methods of evaluating software (Booch, 2001). The evaluation process starts by analyzing the performance model which is derived from the software model annotated with suitable usage profiles. This paper provides a simple approach to convert the software models represented as Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams using the profile for Schedulability, Performance and Time specifications (SPT) into Layered Queuing Network (LQN) performance models. The paper mainly illustrates the conversion process from UML to LQN, and also substantiates the method by a simple example.Keywords
