Comparison of modified sleeper stretch with and without taping on glenohumeral internal rotation deficit in overhead throwers- A randomized clinical trial
As GIRD and posterior shoulder tightness is interrelated with each other and well documented in overhead athletes. Many studies have been reported to evaluate the acute effects of sleeper stretch in overhead throwers but no studies till now have been reported to evaluate the long-term effect in overhead throwers. And many studies also have shown that kinesiology tape also improving IR ROM of dominant shoulder to check the long-term effect of kinesiology tape. The present study is to compare the effect of sleeper stretch with and without Kinesio tape to improve the GIRD in overhead throwers. Methodology: 60 overhead throwers, no age limitation(male and female) were recruited from Nehru ground and Mangala stadium (Mangalore), and cricket academy in Vadodara(Gujarat) and SAI (sports authority of India) in Gandhinagar (Gujarat). 60 overhead throwers randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 (n=30) was received only sleeper stretch and group 2 (n=30) was received sleeper stretch and kinesiology tape. The modified sleeper stretch, per¬formed with the patient inside lying on the throwing side to stabilize the scapula against the table and both the shoulder and elbow flexed to 90°. In this position, passive IR is applied to the dominant arm by using the opposite hand. The immediate effects of the sleeper stretch, performed 3 times for 30 seconds, found an in¬crease IR ROM of the shoulder joint. Taping is done in sitting position. The first piece of the tape was applied from the anterior aspect of the humeral head, just lateral to the acromion process to finish at the inferior angle of the scapula. The second piece of tape commenced on the anterior aspect of the humeral head over the acromion. The opposite hand lifted the humeral head up and back during the application of the tape. Result: GIRD in overhead throwers between the group was analyzed using unpaired t-test comparison between the grips.by using the unpaired t-test. The mean diff between the 1st day to 1st week is 1.70 and t value is3.668, the mean diff between the 1st day to 2nd week is 4.56 and t value is 6.757, the mean diff between 1st day to 3rd week is 6.60 and t value is 7.51, the mean diff between 1st day to4th week is 6.96 and t value is 6.99,the mean diff between 1st week to 2nd week is 2.86 and t value is 7.05, the mean diff between 1st week to 3rd week is 4.90 and t value is 7.92,the mean diff between 1week to 4th week is 5.26 and t value is 6.69, the mean diff between 2nd week to 3rd week is 2.03 and t value is 4.92, the mean diff between 2nd week to 4th week is 2.40 and t value is 3.35, all above p<0.001means this is highly significant but the mean diff between 3rd week to 4th week is 0.367 and t value is 0.609,p<0.545 which is not highly significant. Conclusion: We concluded that the long-term effect of modified sleeper stretch showed improvement in IR ROM of the shoulder in the dominant side which is beneficial for athletes regular rehabilitation to prevent the injuries. The immediate effect of Kinesiology taping is better than long-term effect.

Effect on strength of concrete by partial replacement of natural aggregates with recycled aggregates
India is surging ahead with a renewed focus on urbanization & industrialization to maintain a sustainable growth & development. However, with the ever-increasing population, rapid urbanization & industrialization the waste generation, as a result, natural resource consumption is also rising at the equal pace. The construction industry has gained fast growth in the recent decade due to above-mentioned sectors, which is directly proportional to Increase in demand for construction materials are huge for the construction activities which results in the generation of huge amount of construction waste. The production of waste due to the demolition of the structures is 10 times more than construction waste generated. So, there is a need for management of construction and demolition waste, as it is distinct from municipal solid waste. Construction and demolition waste to be considered as high volume, high risk since lakes, open lands, dumping yards, rivers and roads are being encroached. That waste can be considered as a resource, either for reuse in its original form or recycling or energy recovery and public concerns about the environment, it is desirable to recycle materials from building demolition. Building material account for about half of the solid waste generated they have an environmental impact at every step of the building process. Despite this, most Construction and Demolition waste end up in Prodigious landfills happening in India. So, this study/survey limited to know strength of mixes in which natural aggregates are partially replaced with recycled aggregates in 0% , 20% 35% ,50% and 100%, cement and concrete consumed by Hyderabad, present methodology of handling construction and demolition waste and amount of c&d waste generated in Hyderabad.

Retina based E-voting system using fuzzy logic and hamming distance
Online E-Voting system is a convenient process to poll their votes easily for users. An online voting system is a very popular method but it has a lot of security issues. The major issue of this process is considered a user authentication and data storage. There are many secured passwords based securities are available in the last decades, but such kind of securities are not safe for user authentication it is easily hacked by the attackers. Hence, Biometric based E-voting system provide reliable security for the confidential E-voting system. The retina based E-voting has provided more reliable security for user authentication. In this work, the feature extraction process is done by the fuzzy logic and the matching process is done by the hamming distance and Manhattan distance to match frequent patterns in similarity measures between the retinal images and identifies detection probabilities in retina layers. Angular and radial partitioning techniques are used to detect the similarities of the blood vessels. This mechanism provides maximum security and achieves optimal results for the E-voting system.

The effect of caffeine and nicotine on different plants growth
This study was carried out to show the effect of nicotine on different plants. For this experiment, we use two plants Trigonellafoenum-graecum & Mustard Brassica.juncea as they are fast growing plants. The source of nicotine was BEEDI (local cigarette) & KK ( pan masala). Three -three pots taken for each plants Trigonellafoenum-graecum & mustard Brassica. juncea. Trigonellafoenum-graecum for taken 3 pots one for normal, one for kk, one for beedi same is taken for mustard Brassica juncea. An equal amount of water is given on a daily basis & equal environmental condition was provided. It shows that beedi & kk enhance the growth of plants as compared with normal plants. The purpose of this experiment is to see whether coffee and cigarette can make a plant grow taller within 10 days. This experiment was done by using mung bean (Vigna.radiata L) plants and watering them daily with normal water, water mixed with caffeine and with a coffee mixture. The height of the plant was measured as a daily parameter to check the effect on growth. On the fifteenth day of germination, the plant was removed to evaluate dry weight and spectrophotometric measurement for chlorophyll content. The result of the experiment found that caffeine with low amount gives best results which can be reconfirmed by height, chl a, b, carotenoid estimation. The result indicates that mung bean grows faster in soil with caffeine. The effect of nicotine on plant growth (fenugreek seeds) by using cigarette and chewing tobacco. Nicotine is an addictive drug that is found mostly in cigarettes, cigar, chewing snuff. Cigarette and chewing tobacco contain thousands of chemical compound but nicotine is a major constituent of cigarette and tobacco, kills insect pests and used in many organic insecticides to protect plants. Our study investigated the impact of pure tobacco(chewing) and a cigarette on seed germination of fenugreek. The result showed that if we use a cigarette, the plant will grow taller” as compared to the normal plant. But there was a significant decrease in germination rate or growth at pure tobacco or at high concentration of tobacco Qualitative test perform to check the presence of carbohydrate and protein which gives a positive result. Different concentration of bidi and kk used to check their effect on plant growth. Concentration like 1% ,2% &3%. Kk shows the highest growth at 3% then 1%&least on 2%.In nicotine shows the highest growth at 3%then 2%&1%.
