Heart Disease Prediction from Horoscope of a Person Using Data Mining

Abstract- This paper deals with finding out the possibilities of suffering a person from heart disease i.e. predicting heart disease from horoscope of a person using data mining techniques. Horoscope has 12 regions each occupying 30 0. Each region is called an “house ” that deals with different significations. There are total 12 planets that can occupy any house in a horoscope. According to position of the planets different angular combinations can be formed and these combinations are termed as “Yoga’s ” that are used in predicting features of horoscope. Each house deals with different significations and the same set of combinations obtaining in a particular house might influence the different significations comprehended by the house, in different ways. To be more specific, let us consider the 4th house of a horoscope. It is supposed to signify mother, education, land and house properties. An illiterate person may possess many houses and a long-lived mother while a highly educated person may not possess any properties. This apparent inconsistency has been reconciled to some extent by the introduction of an important factor, viz., the Karaka (indicator). This paper aims at testing new horoscopes & finding out different possible angular combinations present in that horoscope and to predict the possibility of heart disease. This is also an approach to find out whether Astrology is a scientific study and application of language of the heavenly bodies or not. Index Terms- Data Mining, Horoscope reading, Horoscope classification, heart disease prediction etc. planets like Sun, Venus etc. do effect the human behavior and it is left to us to predict what changes will they bring to our lives

Bayesian inference application to burglary detection

Real time motion tracking is very important for video analytics. But very little research has been done in identifying the top-level plans behind the atomic activities evident in various surveillance footages [61]. Surveillance videos can contain high level plans in the form of complex activities [61]. These complex activities are usually a combination of various articulated activities like breaking windshield, digging, and non-articulated activities like walking, running. We have developed a Bayesian framework for recognizing complex activities like burglary. This framework (belief network) is based on an expectation propagation algorithm [8] for approximate Bayesian inference. We provide experimental results showing the application of our framework for automatically detecting burglary from surveillance videos in real time

Effect of ohmic heating on color, rehydration and textural characteristics of fresh carrot cubes

Carrot cubes were ohmically heated with 2 different frequencies 1 Hz and 60 Hz to evaluate change in color, texture and rehydration properties. Carrot samples were stored under 4 different relative humidity (RH) conditions 11.1 %, 32.7%, 55.7 % and 75.3 %. Experiments were conducted to monitor the textural parameters of hardness, fracturability, adhesiveness, cohesiveness and chewiness and color changes in terms of CIE color values. Results showed that the hardness, fracturability and adhesiveness of 1- Hz samples stored at 75.3 % RH were different from those at 55.7 % RH. The adhesiveness, cohesiveness and chewiness of 1-Hz samples were different from the control at 55.7 % RH. There was significant correlation between cohesiveness and chewiness and moisture content of the rehydrated samples. For the moisture content after ohmic heating a negative correlation was observed with properties of chewiness, hardness and adhesiveness. Color lightness (L*) values of rehydrated carrots decreased (i.e. became darker) with the increase in storage time. At both 1-Hz and 60-Hz the difference in the L values of fresh and rehydrated carrots was significantly different from that of the control. The degree of redness (a*) of 1-Hz rehydrated samples after 1 Hz treatment were different from the control stored at 55.7 % RH. The water absorption capacity values decreased throughout the six-day storage period for both the treated and control carrot samples. Thus there exists a great potential to enhance mass and heat transfer properties in food process engineering using ohmic heating, particularly because ohmic treatment has been shown to significantly alter rehydration, texture and color efficiencies. This study demonstrated that ohmic treatment significantly affects color, texture and rehydration properties of carrots stored under different RH environments

Investigation on the Antioxidant Capabilities of Spice Extracts in Inhibition of Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Oxidation and Cholesterol

Antioxidant capabilities of the spice extract of ginger, oregano, rosemary and turmeric were evaluated by monitoring inhibition of DHA and EPA in a menhaden fish oil model and cholesterol oxidation model system. The spice extracts were mixed with the fish oil at 1, 2.5 and 5 % (w/w) and 1, 2.5 and 5mg (dw) were used in cholesterol study. The temperatures 150oC and 175oC were used for the oxidation study and a 60oC was used for incubation storage. The methanol extracts of all four spices demonstrated significant capability in retaining the DHA and EPA, after subjected to oxidation when compared with the control. The oregano retained 66% and 41% of DHA for 5 % at 150 and 175 oC respectively. For the 60oC storage study, at the end of the 6 day period, rosemary extract showed the highest retention of 84% DHA at 2.5%. For the cholesterol oxidation study, at 150oC, 2.5 mg extract retained 83, 81, 73 and 87 % cholesterol for ginger, oregano, rosemary and turmeric respectively. At 175oC, all the spice extracts were still significantly effective in retaining cholesterol as compared with the control and the antioxidant capabilities in decreasing order were oregano \u3e rosemary \u3e ginger \u3e turmeric. For the antioxidant and total phenolic study, without heating, the antioxidant activity (TEAC) values ranged from 0.18 to 0.60 µmol of trolox equivalent/gm of extract, with oregano the lowest and rosemary showing the highest activity. After heating, the antioxidant activity declined for all the spice tissues. During the 60oC incubation storage, only rosemary demonstrated a 10 % increase in the antioxidant capability. The result for total phenolic content values in decreasing order were turmeric \u3e rosemary \u3e ginger \u3e oregano. With heating at both 150 and 175oC, turmeric, rosemary and oregano showed no significant reduction in phenolics. The storage study showed a uniform decrease in the total phenolic content for all the spices and turmeric demonstrated highest values. Thus the spice extracts of ginger, oregano, rosemary and turmeric demonstrated significant antioxidant capability by retaining DHA and EPA in menhaden fish oil and cholesterol during oxidative degradation

Performance Analysis of Hybrid Cognitive Gaussian Relay Channels

Since last decade, Cognitive Radio has been the solution for the problem of underutilization of radio spectrum. Resources such as power and spectrum are very limited. Optimization of Resource Allocation (RA) is the most important problem in Cognitive Radio Network (CRN). But due to opportunistic nature of Cognitive Radio Resources(RRs), Pure Cognitive Radio Networks are unreliable in nature. To improve the performance and reliability of the network, Hybrid Cognitive Radio Network is useful.Hybrid CRN jointly utilizes both the licensed and cognitive RRs. This paperanalyses the performance of Hybrid Cognitive Relay network under AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels. The performance metrics such as Capacity, Energy efficiency and Spectral efficiency are formulated and numerical simulations are performed. This analysis is helpful in determining the Capacity for optimum usage of power and bandwidth.

Diagnostic efficacy of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in lung malignancies

Background: Lung malignancies are the leading cause of cancer related deaths in men and in women it has surpassed even breast cancer. With the development of flexible fiber-optic bronchoscope, respiratory cytology has newer approach as samples like bronchial washings, bronchial brushings, bronchoalveolar lavage and trans-bronchial needle aspirations could be collected from the respiratory tract, yielding significant amount of cytological material.Methods: A prospective study conducted in department of pathology in MGM Medical College and Hospital, Aurangabad during a period from November 2015 to October 2017. 48samples of bronchoalveolar lavage received and patient data collected.Results: About 48 cases included in the study comprised of 23 (47.92%) malignancies, 16 (33.34%) DLDs and 9 (18%) cases of tuberculosis. In our study, 23 cases of malignancy included 15 male and 8 female patients (male:female ratio= 1.87). Mean age for malignancy was 57.57 years with median age of 60 years. Among 23 cases of malignancies 11 were given as positive/suspicious/atypical cells on BAL, whereas 10 out of 11 bronchial brushing were given as positive/suspicious or suggestive of malignancy.Conclusions: Bronchoalveolar lavage is useful procedure. Efficacy of BAL is increased when used in combination with bronchial brushing

Spectrum of Non-Neoplastic Lesions of the Large Intestine- A Two-Year Study at a Tertiary Care Centre.

Background: It is challenging to diagnose intestinal lesions using clinical examination and radiographic examinations due to the great morphologic variety. The goal of our research is to thoroughly examine and analyze the many non-neoplastic lesions of the large intestine using histopathology. Materials and methods: It\u27s a retrospective study, conducted for 2-years duration (May 2022- May 2024). It was conducted at MGM Medical College, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar (Aurangabad). A total of 557 samples were examined in the study. Histopathologic findings, clinical features, and colonoscopic findings were analysed. Results: A total of 557 patients were recruited for the study. Among these, 47.4% were males and 52.6% were females. Site-wise distribution showed maximum number of cases involved the appendix, followed by the colon and rectum. On further evaluation with colonoscopy, the gross features showed majority with apthous ulcers and wall thickening. In our study, abdominal pain was the most common presenting complaint, followed by loose stools and bleeding per rectum. The histopathological evaluation showed that majority had recurrent appendicitis and acute appendicitis. Conclusion: In summary, intestinal lesions exhibit morphological variety while also exhibiting a notable commonality in clinical presentations. The significance of histological analysis in the treatment of colonic lesions is emphasized by our work

Evaluation of shoulder kinesthesia in patients with unilateral frozen shoulder

Background: Intact sensory-motor system provides kinesthesia for maintaining joint stability. Joint proprioception or joint kinesthetic sensation is often used alternately to describe a deep sensation of joint motion and joint position sense. Mechanoreceptors located in superficial layer of joint capsule, muscle spindle, golgi tendon organ complex and ligaments around joint provides joint kinesthetic sensation. Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis is one of the common musculoskeletal disorders encountered in Indian population with a prevalence of almost 50% older patients with diabetes and 2-10% in non-diabetic patients. This study assessed joint kinesthetic sensation during shoulder movements in people with frozen shoulder and healthy controls which may be affected due to presence of disease process or pain. Authors hypothesized that pain and alterations in non-contractile tissues (mainly capsule) around shoulder joint due to frozen shoulder may interfere with the joint kinesthetic sensation.Methods: Case group consisted of 41 participants with frozen shoulder and 41 healthy participants without shoulder pathology. Joint kinesthesia was assessed in frozen shoulders and dominant shoulders using angle reproduction test by actively reproducing the target angle placed passively by the therapist during flexion, abduction, medial and lateral rotation movements. The angle reproduced was measured using universal goniometer by the same therapist and 3 readings were recorded.Results: Results indicate significant differences between the mean difference of angle reproduction test during shoulder movements in cases of frozen shoulder and healthy group (p value <0.05).Conclusions: Significant shoulder kinesthetic deficits were observed in patients with unilateral frozen shoulder. Therefore, clinicians should consider rehabilitation of kinesthesia in treatment of patients with frozen shoulder

Effect of Deep Cryogenic Treatment on Microstructure and Properties of AE42 Magnesium Alloy

There has been a great interest of using magnesium (Mg) alloys in automotive industries owing to its high specific strength, high thermal conductivity, good damping capacity and good machinability. The use of Mg alloys in automobile increases fuel efficiency and reduce emissions by reducing the vehicle weight. The AE42 alloy is a promising creep resistant Mg alloy and it is suitable for application up to 175°C. Cold treating is a very old process and is widely used for high precision parts to enhance their properties. Cold treatment can be done in 2 ways. When treatment is done at temperature down to -80°C it is called ‘Cryogenic Treatment (CT)’. On the other hand, when treatment is done at liquid nitrogen temperature (i.e., -196°C) it is called ‘Deep Cryogenic Treatment (DCT)’. Deep cryogenic treatment generally improves certain proper ties beyond the improvement obtained by normal cryogenic treatment. When CT was carried for steel, it was observed that there was complete transformation of retained austenite into marten site. Also, there was improvement of mechanical properties which can be explained by the precipitation of sub microscopic carbides as a result of the CT. When deep cryogenic treatment was carried out on steel, it showed significant increase in wear resistance. It was theorized that the increase in wear resistance was a direct result of the reduction in the amount of retained austenite and change in the carbide morphologies. Therefore, it is concluded that DCT has pronounced effect to alter microstructure and thereby the mechanical properties. The number of literature that report DCT of different kinds of steels, ZnO nanowires and pure Zr is plenty. Unfortunately, the number of literature on CT/DCT for Mg alloy is rare. Recently, CT/DCT on AZ91 and AZ31 Mg alloys resulted homogeneity in microstructure that exhibited superior wear and tensile properties. However, the precise effect of CT/DCT on properties like hardness, creep, corrosion and so on is still not clear. Therefore, in the present study, mechanical properties including wear as well as corrosion behavior of the AE42 (Mg-4Al-2RE) Mg alloy subjected to DCT is planned for investigation. For comparison the same tests will be carried out on AE42 alloy without DCT. DCT was carried out on specimens for 0, 4, 8 and 16 h. A detailed microstructural characterization of the untreated and treated AE42 alloy has been done. The specimens were prepared according to required dimensions for the above-mentioned tests. The phase analysis using XRD as well as optical and SEM micrographs were taken on the untreated and treated AE42 alloy. It was observed that with increase in DCT time the volume fraction of secondary Al4RE phase was reducing and that of primary α-Mg was increasing. Tensile, hardness, wear and corrosion tests were carried out on all specimen and its results were compared. The ductility of tensile specimens was increasing with increase in DCT time. The hardness of the specimens decreased with increase in DCT time. The wear rate increased with increase in DCT time. Corrosion specimens showed increase in corrosion rate with increase in DCT time
