Sustainable Skylines: A Study Of Green Building Initiatives In PCMC

“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.” Well said by Robert Swa. This research paper focuses on this belief that we need to pay attention towards green initiative for environment conservation and energy efficiency as it is very essential for earth for long term sustainability. PCMC (Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Co-orporation) has planned to spend Rs. 5000 crores on Green projects. One of Greenest and first in India Corporate Campus in World is Suzlon One earth situated in Magarpatta road, Hadapsar, Pune. This Campus is completely relying on renewable energy sources, utilizing a combination of hybrid wind turbines, solar panels, and photovoltaic cells for power generation. This studies depicts importance of green building initiative and by 2025, the majority of residential areas in PCMC are expected to transition into self-sustaining real estate developments. The PCNTDA (Pimpri Chinchwad New Town Development Authority) has outlined a structured, forward-thinking, and eco-conscious approach to real estate development in PCMC

A Survey on Detection of Blackhole Attack using AODV Protocol in MANET

A mobile ad-hoc network(MANET) is a self-configuring infrastructureless network of mobile devices. Each must forward traffic unrelated to its own use, and therefore be a router. The primary challenge in building a MANET is equipping each device to continuously maintain the information required to properly route traffic. A ODV (Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector) is a loop-free routing protocol for ad-hoc networks. It is designed to be self- starting in an environment of mobile nodes, withstanding a variety of network behaviours such as node mobility, link failures etc. Blackhole attackis a type of denial- of- service attack in which a router that is supposed to relay packets instead discards them. This usually occurs from a router becoming compromised from a number of different causes. One cause mentioned in research is through a denial -of -service attack on the router.Because packets are routinely dropped from a lossy network, the packet drop attack is very hard to detect and prevent. In this paper, an attempt is made to understand the possible solutions to Blackhole attack with various methodologies proposed earlier

Probing top charged-Higgs production using top polarization at the Large Hadron Collider

We study single top production in association with a charged Higgs in the type II two Higgs doublet model at the Large Hadron Collider. The polarization of the top, reflected in the angular distributions of its decay products, can be a sensitive probe of new physics in its production. We present theoretically expected polarizations of the top for top charged-Higgs production, which is significantly different from that in the closely related process of t-W production in the Standard Model. We then show that an azimuthal symmetry, constructed from the decay lepton angular distribution in the laboratory frame, is a sensitive probe of top polarization and can be used to constrain parameters involved in top charged-Higgs production.Comment: 22 pages, 18 Figures, Discussions about backgrounds and NLO corrections added, figures modified, references added, Version published in JHE

Dijet signals of the Little Higgs model with T-parity

The Littest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT), apart from offering a viable solution to the naturalness problem of the Standard Model, also predicts a set of new fermions as well as a candidate for dark matter. We explore the possibility of discovering the heavy T-odd quark Q_H at the LHC in a final state comprising two hard jets with a large missing transverse momentum. Also discussed is the role of heavy flavor tagging.Comment: Changes in text. Some references adde

Comparative Analysis of Integrated Marketing Communication Strategies in view point of Sales Promotion and Advertising in the Specialty Division of Pharmaceutical Sector: A Modern Perspective

The empirical study of sales and promotional strategies is one of the avenues through which each major organizational group tries to enter and grow in the era of fierce competition, impulsive markets, and the remarkable potentiality of the Indian pharmaceutical sector. As a result, current companies are attempting to survive while also being willing to increase their profitability. The aforementioned research, which is being conducted in Belagavi, aims to concentrate on two distinct product promotion strategies: advertising and sales promotion. The pharmaceutical industry uses these strategies to boost product sales and gain a competitive edge on other industries in the future. Using the concepts of the Four Pillars—Medical Representatives, Medical Practitioners (GPs, CPs, and CPs), Field Managers, and Chemists—this article aims to exemplify the advertising and sales promotion tactics of pharmaceutical companies. Having gone through this article, one would learn about the prevalent performance of the pharmaceutical industry based on a comparison of sales promotion and advertising. One would also be able to determine which approach would be best to gain a stronger hold on the market given the competition

Diagnosis of Esophagitis Based on Face Recognition Techniques

Face recognition technology has evolved over years with the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method being the benchmark for recognition efficiency. The face recognition techniques take care of variation of illumination, pose and other features of the face in the image. We envisage an application of these face recognition techniques for classification of medical images. The motivating factor being, given a condition of an organ it is represented by some typical features. In this paper we report the use of the face recognition techniques to classify the type of Esophagitis, a condition of inflammation of the esophagus. The image of the esophagus is captured in the process of endoscopy. We test PCA, Fisher Face method and Independent Component Analysis techniques to classify the images of the esophagus. Esophagitis is classified into four categories. The results of classification for each method are reported and the results are compared

Efficacy of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques versus traditional prosthetic training for improving ambulatory function in transtibial amputees

Abstract The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the efficacy of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques in comparison to traditional prosthetic training (TPT) in improving ambulatory function in transtibial amputees. Thirty study participants (19 men and 11 women) with unilateral transtibial amputation participated in the study. They were randomly allocated to either the traditional training group (i.e., TPT) (n Z 15) or the PNF training group (n Z 15). The treatment in the TPT group consisted of weight-bearing, weight-shifting, balance, and gait exercises for 30 minutes daily for 10 treatment sessions. In the PNF group, the same activities were performed by employing PNF principles and techniques. The outcome measures were gait parameters (e.g., stride width, step length, and stride length) and the Locomotor Capabilities Index (LCI). The between-group comparisons at the end of the trial showed that the PNF group showed significant improvement in gait parameters and in the LCI, compared to the TPT group (p < 0.05). The results of the study suggested that prosthetic training based on proprioceptive feedback is more effective than the traditional prosthetic programme in improving ambulatory function

Genetic variants in novel pathways influence blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk.

Blood pressure is a heritable trait influenced by several biological pathways and responsive to environmental stimuli. Over one billion people worldwide have hypertension (≥140 mm Hg systolic blood pressure or  ≥90 mm Hg diastolic blood pressure). Even small increments in blood pressure are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. This genome-wide association study of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, which used a multi-stage design in 200,000 individuals of European descent, identified sixteen novel loci: six of these loci contain genes previously known or suspected to regulate blood pressure (GUCY1A3-GUCY1B3, NPR3-C5orf23, ADM, FURIN-FES, GOSR2, GNAS-EDN3); the other ten provide new clues to blood pressure physiology. A genetic risk score based on 29 genome-wide significant variants was associated with hypertension, left ventricular wall thickness, stroke and coronary artery disease, but not kidney disease or kidney function. We also observed associations with blood pressure in East Asian, South Asian and African ancestry individuals. Our findings provide new insights into the genetics and biology of blood pressure, and suggest potential novel therapeutic pathways for cardiovascular disease prevention

EVALUATION OF PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN TALENT IDENTIFICATION AMONG SOCCER PLAYERS IN THE INDIAN STATE OF MANIPUR

Background: Physiological characteristics offer a potent approach to understanding the underpinnings of human behaviour and provide information about the internal state of an individual. It involves the function of the circulatory, respiratory, and related systems during the activity. Some physiological characteristics, such as pulse rate, force vital capacity, slow vital capacity, maximum voluntary ventilation, aerobic capacity, and anaerobic capacity, have long been allied with accomplishment in certain sports. The main objective was to study how the physiological characteristics are assessed among soccer players in talent identification in Manipur. The minor objectives were to 1) assess the global physiological characteristics of soccer players; 2) investigate the influence of age on the physiological characteristics of soccer players; and 3) to develop a norm and grading scale for talent identification in physiological characteristics among soccer players. Method: The subjects were a group of soccer players in Manipur (N = 45) who regularly attend morning practise programmes organised by various clubs and academies affiliated to the All Manipur Football Association (AMFA). A simple random sampling technique was used to select the subjects. The age of the subjects ranged between 12 and 16 years. Descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation and inferential statistics such as one-way ANOVA were used as statistical techniques for data analysis. Data was collected during January and February 2023. Results: The results indicate the good global physiological condition of the players and the age of the players has nothing to do with all the selected physiological conditions of the players except Slow Vital Capacity. Conclusion: The study is significant because it can help certain people such as coaches, physiotherapy and athletes in intermittent team sports such as soccer to improve physiological functions. In addition, this study can also increase the knowledge of coaches and athletes, and show them how important it is to have efficient physiological conditions to improve their performances in their sport.
