A Performance Enhancement of Household Refrigerator using Phase Change Materials (PCMs)

- In this study, a household refrigerator with ceiling type evaporator is considered to equip it with CTES system by using PCM. Domestic refrigerators are among the most widely used household appliances and a great portion of energy is used by these systems. Reduction of temperature fluctuation and enhancement of system performance is the main reason of using phase change materials (PCMs) in refrigeration systems. Different approaches have been used to improve the thermal performance of these systems by integration of PCM. A number of studies have focused on the application of PCM at evaporator for cold storage. So we are doing experimental investigation to improve energy efficiency of household refrigerator by introducing a new phase change material. Key Words: Thermal Energy Storage, Phase Change Material, Household Refrigerator, COP.</jats:p

Early Detection and Aggressive Management Is a Key to Success in Management of Childhood Constipation: Aggressive Management of Childhood Constipation

Introduction: Functional constipation is an emerging problem in childhood of Indian subcontinent. If diagnosed early and managed aggressively along with lifestyle modification the success rate of disease treatment improves.Objectives:• To assess whether the pain abdomen is the early feature of constipation• To determine the relationship between good follow ups and the outcome• To determine the minimum duration of laxative therapy in management of constipation Materials and Methods: A retrospective analytical study of 150 children with constipation. Various parameters were considered namely demographic details, eating habits, clinical examination, abdominal radiographs and abdominal ultrasonography. Patients were divided into two groups based on the symptoms at the presentation. The first comparison was between constipation group vs pain abdomen group. Second comparison was between the patients with good follow-ups and bad follow-ups. The finally the duration of laxative therapy was assessed. Data was entered into Microsoft Excel and analysed using SPSS version 25. The categorical variables are presented using frequency and percentages. Chi square tests were used for statistical analysis. p&lt;0.05 is considered as significant value for interpretation of results. Results: All the 150 patients were treated for constipation 70% showed improvement. Eighty percent of pain abdomen group patients also showed improvement in their symptoms suggesting that they might be the subset of larger constipation group. 97.1% patient with good follow-up followed the dietary advice. The study reveals that there is an association between following dietary advice and final improvement. 70.5% who followed dietary advice had good outcome irrespective of the use of regular laxatives. Most of the patients (78 %) showed the improvement with 3- 6 months of laxative therapy. Conclusion: Pain abdomen with stool stasis must be considered as early feature of constipation. Patients with better follow and good dietary habits have significant improvement. Aggressive therapy with two laxatives for 3-6 months can increase the success

Lab Attendance Using Fingerprint Sensor

Abstract: In today’s world regularity of student attendance is concerned in the administration of Educational Institutions. Overall academic performance is affected by the student’s attendance because poor attendance leads students in detention list. Student’s attendance is taken manually by using attendance sheet given by the faculty members in the classroom, which is a time-consuming event. Furthermore, it is very difficult to verify one by one student in a large classroom whether the authenticated students are responding or not. The proposed system describes a method for Students Attendance System which will integrate with the fingerprint technology. This paper proposes the system in that various fingerprints of students will be gated through the fingerprint module. The fingerprints will be mapped against the data set for authentication of student attendance. The student whose fingerprint matches the most with the data set is marked present for the particular lecture. As well as this paper demonstrates how fingerprint recognition can be used for an efficient attendance system to automatically record the presence of an enrolled individual within the respective venue. Also, it maintains a log file to keep records of the entry of every individual with respect to subjects and also generate a report of attendance. This paper also provides the design method of fingerprint-based student attendance with help of GSM. This system ignores the requirement for stationary materials and personnel for keeping of records.

कठिनश्रम दूर करने हेतु तकनीकी अंतराक्षेपण

Not Availableकृषि, जो जीवनयापन का स्रोत है, एक परंपरा है जिसने भारतवर्ष की जनता की संस्कृति एवं अर्थव्यवस्था को वर्षों से आकार दिया है, लेकिन विभिन्न कारणों से इसका असामान्य विकास हो रहा है, जिसके प्रमुख कारण तकनीकी का निम्न हस्तानांतरण प्राकृतिक संसाधनों की कमी एवं अनुपयुक्त पूंजी है । वर्तमान में कृषि के तीव्र विकास की आवश्यकता है जिससे यह घरेलू स्तर पर खाद्य सुरक्षा प्रदान कर सकें । साथ ही सामुदायिक स्तर पर आय एवं संपदा का समान वितरण तथा राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर आत्मविश्वास प्रदान कर सकें प्रायः यह देखा जाता है कि ग्रामीण महिलाएं परंपरागत औजारों एवं यंत्रों को कृषि कार्यों के लिए काम में लेती है जिससे उनकी कृषि कार्यों को करने की गति प्रभावित होती है तथा यह यंत्र काफी श्रम एवं शक्ति का अपव्यय भी करते हैं यदि इन यंत्रों में थोड़ा सुधार किया जाए तो इन्हें महिलाओं के लिए उपयोगी बनाया जा सकता है जिससे उनके श्रम शक्ति में काफी बचत हो सकती है। इसी उद्देश्य को ध्यान में रखते हुए अखिल भारतीय समन्वित शोध परियोजना के अंतर्गत पारिवारिक संसाधन प्रबंधन विभाग ने कृषक महिलाओं के लिए "कठिनश्रम दूर करने हेतु तकनीकी अंतराक्षेपण" विषय पर प्रशिक्षक प्रशिक्षण पाठ्यक्रम तैयार किया है।Not Availabl

Dosimetric Coverage of the Prostate, Normal Tissue Sparing, and Acute Toxicity with High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy for Large Prostate Volumes

ABSTRACTPurposeTo evaluate dosimetric coverage of the prostate, normal tissue sparing, and acute toxicity with HDR brachytherapy for large prostate volumes.Materials and MethodsOne hundred and two prostate cancer patients with prostate volumes >50 mL (range: 5-29 mL) were treated with high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy ± intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to 4,500 cGy in 25 daily fractions between 2009 and 2013. HDR brachytherapy monotherapy doses consisted of two 1,350-1,400 cGy fractions separated by 2-3 weeks, and HDR brachytherapy boost doses consisted of two 950-1,150 cGy fractions separated by 4 weeks. Twelve of 32 (38%) unfavorable intermediate risk, high risk, and very high risk patients received androgen deprivation therapy. Acute toxicity was graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.ResultsMedian follow-up was 14 months. Dosimetric goals were achieved in over 90% of cases. Three of 102 (3%) patients developed Grade 2 acute proctitis. No variables were significantly associated with Grade 2 acute proctitis. Seventeen of 102 (17%) patients developed Grade 2 acute urinary retention. American Urological Association (AUA) symptom score was the only variable significantly associated with Grade 2 acute urinary retention (p=0.04). There was no ≥ Grade 3 acute toxicity.ConclusionsDosimetric coverage of the prostate and normal tissue sparing were adequate in patients with prostate volumes >50 mL. Higher pre-treatment AUA symptom scores increased the relative risk of Grade 2 acute urinary retention. However, the overall incidence of acute toxicity was acceptable in patients with large prostate volumes.</sec
