A survey on various energy-efficient routing protocols in WSN

The applications and the role of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in real world encourage researchers to elaborate and explore more information about it. As we know a WSN consist of thousands of sensor nodes (static or mobile) which gather information from a specific region and then transmit it base station (static or mobile) with some mechanism. There are various protocols that are proposed to govern this communication in effective way. But the challenges such as energy consumption, mobile sink scheduling and data aggregation are still need to improve. So that the lifetime of WSN can be extended. This paper cover and present a survey on some protocols and related research works for WSN challenges that improve the performance of network.

A study on concrete properties using RCA

Recycle Aggregate Concrete is the concrete product produced with recycled aggregate to replace part or whole of natural aggregate. The purpose of this study is to find the properties of RCA and compare the same with the concrete produced with natural aggregates. Recycle Concrete Aggregate has also been described as “the most revolutionary development in concrete construction for several decades”. It has proved to be beneficial from the point of economic, environmental benefits and Preservation of non-renewable recourses This thesis presents a study conducted on mechanical and durability properties of recycled aggregates concrete. The investigation covered concrete mixes at the water-cementitious material with a ratio of 0.4. Ordinary Portland cement of 43-grade was used in this study. The percentage of recycled aggregates that partially replaced natural aggregates by weight were 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%. Concrete cubes and cylinders were cast and tested in laboratories. The optimum proportion of replacement was found by conducting tests on mechanical properties like Compressive strength test and Split tensile strength test. To assess the corrosion and durability characteristics of the recycled concrete aggregates Acid resistance test, Initial surface absorption test were performed. The results show that the optimum replacement of recycled aggregates with natural aggregates was 30%. Up to 30% replacement, it is possible to gain the same strength as conventional concrete. Beyond 30% replacement the strength results following a decreasing trend. Moreover, initial surface absorption increases with an increase in replacement levels and the same are true for sorptivity.

A smart farming system using Arduino based technology

Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that permits things to communicate and connect with each other. This is helpful in changing the patterns and processes in both industry and agriculture towards higher efficiency. A system is proposed which describes the smart farming in order to improve the production process in planting. Smart farming consists of two main parts which are a sensor system and a control system. Sensor system consists of a set of tools to obtain the sensed values. Control system involves a blower, watering and roofing system operated on a human interface. Two Arduino boards are programmed for sensing and the controlling system. Programming for controlling the system is done in python. The sensed values from a different sensor are viewed on an LCD display as well as a serial monitor. Results are maintained as a database in excel sheet and the graphical representation of the same is obtained. Looking on to results obtained from the sensor system, a control system is activated using the python controlling console. An increase in product quality and quantity is achieved by following the proper decision-making process.

A prospective study to assess the clinical risk factors and the drug utilization pattern in female patients with gestational hypertension

Hypertension in pregnancy is a pregnancy-specific, multisystem disorder characterized by the development of edema, elevated blood pressure and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. The hypertensive disease occurs in 5% to 10% of all pregnancies and is a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. A prospective observational study was performed to assess the risk factors that potentiate gestational hypertension and also to evaluate the drug utilization pattern in patients diagnosed with gestational hypertension. 72 patients who were admitted with gestational hypertension in the Gynaecology department of Pushpagiri Medical College Hospital were enrolled for this study. A standardized data collection form was prepared and necessary data were collected which includes the demographic details, obstetric history, past medical history, past medication history, current medication etc. The risk factors, complications associated with gestational hypertension and drug utilization pattern were analyzed. Pre-existing hypertension and diabetes mellitus are found to be the most common risk factors of gestational hypertension in this study. Most commonly prescribed anti-hypertensive drug was Labetalol and found to be safe. The antihypertensive drug therapy was found to be significant. From the study, it was found out that the overall drug utilization pattern in gestational hypertension patients was in accordance with the specific hypertensive treatment guidelines.

A method to discover constant conditional functional dependencies for a given relation

This CCFD paper explores the idea of discovering the constant conditional functional dependencies (CCFDs). Constant CFDs are particularly important for object identification, which is essential to data cleaning and data integration. The further algorithm provides a set of cleaning rule discovery tools for users to choose it for different applications. These CCFDs are derived from conditional functional dependencies (CFDs). The algorithm is implemented for finding the constant conditional functional dependencies from a given relation.

Choice of antibiotics/antiviral agents in patients with sepsis of different aetiologies

Sepsis is a potentially life threatening complication of an infection. Sepsis occurs chemical released into bloodstream to fight the infection trigger inflammatory response through the body. This inflammation can trigger a cascade of changes that can damage multiple organ system, causing them to fail. Septic shock is defined as sepsis associated with hypotension and perfusion abnormalities despite the provision of adequate fluid resuscitation. Patients with septic shock who are receiving inotropic or vasopressor therapy might still exhibit perfusion abnormalities, despite the lack of hypotension. This was a prospective observational study, which included 75 patients admitted in Pushpagiri Medical College Hospital. The study was done to evaluate the choice of drug in patients with sepsis along with the type of organism and time of treatment, and additional therapy given to the patient. From the present study, it was suggested that the use of antibiotic therapy, especially a broad spectrum antibiotic was the most appropriate initial therapy. Majority of the population uses the broad spectrum antibiotic (Piperacilline-tazobactam), because of the increased anaerobic or aerobic coverage to kill the bacteria.In critically severe patients, a combination of two or more antibiotic is preferred. But there is no difference in overall mortality between monotherapy and combination therapy. The most common causative organism for bacterial sepsis is gram negative organism. In gram negative organism, Echerichia coli,is the most. The time of treatment is very important in the treatment of sepsis. Administration of antibiotics within one hour from admission showed better prognosis when compared with treatment started after one hour, so the time must be taken into consideration for the treatment of sepsis Early goal directed therapy are given inorder to treat hypoxemia, hypotension, hypovolemic conditions of patients. Vasopressors are preferred in certain conditions were IV fluids fails to correct the circulatory dysfunctions.
