The geometrical properties of a planar harmonic mapping are stronglyinfluenced by the holomorphic part of the harmonic mapping in the open unitdisc D. The properties of the operator ψ[f](z) = f(z)+f′(z) − 1 for normalisedholomorphic functions in D are studied in this article. We calculate radius offully starlikeness and fully convexity of order α are related to ψ[f](z). We also study closure of certain subclasses of Harmonic functions under convexcombinations.

In the present investigation the coriander plant volatiles for the tritrophic interactions on the egg parasitoid Trichogramma chilonis Ishii is evaluated. The GCMS profile study of the foliage extract of coriander in both hexane and dichloromethane showed presence of 2-Dodecenal-(E), (E)-Tetradec-2-enal, Octadecane, Nonacosane, Hexadecane, Pentadecane and Heneicosane, which are of biologically active fractions in insects. In laboratory study the maximum parasitization was recorded in hexane extract treated Corcyra card (31.04 eggs/card) compared to 28.16 eggs per card observed in untreated control. The data gathered on number of parasitized eggs hatched into adult indicated that in hexane extract treated Corcyra card had 91.19 per cent while parasitoid emergence was 29.30 eggs per card followed by 87.76 per cent in untreated control 24.90 eggs per card. The GCMS profile study of the foliage extract of coriander in both hexane and dichloromethane showed presence of 2-Dodecenal-(E), (E)-Tetradec-2-enal, Octadecane, Nonacosane, Hexadecane, Pentadecane and Heneicosane, which are of biologically active fractions in insects. The above findings reveal the possible role of such active chemicals in parasitoid compatibility of the intercrop.

Every year 1.86 billion metric tons of steel produced and the construction industry accounts to half of its consumption. Steel is an extremely versatile material that is not only easily available, cheap and easy to work with but also 100 % recyclable. This property of steel makes it a very viable solution to the ongoing environmental problems and even a better alternative to the conventional building materials. There are various types of steel available in the industry. It includes hot rolled steel sections that are already manufactured at certain pre-determined sizes. The properties of the hot rolled sections are already studied and readily available as tables. The other type of steel section is cold form steel which is differentiated by the process of production. The last and most commonly used type of steel section is the structural steel. Structural steel is prefabricated according to the design requirements of the project.Pre-Engineered Steel Building System is broadly accepted across the world as a competent alternative to conventional steel buildings. Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB) are a type of steel structures that can be constructed easily and quickly. Pre-Engineered Buildings are nothing but steel buildings in which surplus steel is evaded by tapering the sections as per the necessity of bending moment. Though it has many advantages, it is not widely used in India due to the lack of awareness. In Conventional steel structures, both the time and cost will be more, thus making it uneconomical. Thus, in pre-engineered buildings, the complete design is done and the detailed drawings are sent to the factories, and where the elements and members are pre-fabricated and then transported to the construction site. As they are already pre-fabricated according to the design the erection process will only take 2 to 6 weeks depending on the immensity of the project. Pre-Engineered Buildings have bolted connections and later can also be reused after dismantling. It is the most affordable and flexible building system ideal for any low or high rise industrial, institutional or commercial applications. The other advantages include low cost, environment friendly, easy erection, aesthetic appeal, flexibility and high durability. All these advantages make it the most suited after construction practice in the world. In India, Pre-Engineered & Pre-Fabricated building industry is growing swiftly. The paper involves analysis of the Pre-Engineered Building with different types of bracing and finding the most economical bracing. It also includes achieving economy by tapering the sections based on the bending moments.

Technology has an important role to play in the field of Rehabilitation, improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. However, existing approaches lack clinical validation, robustness and ease of use. We propose Tele-EvalNet, a novel system consisting of two components: a live feedback model and an overall performance evaluation model. The live feedback model demonstrates feedback on exercise correctness with easy to understand instructions highlighted using color markers. The overall performance evaluation model learns a mapping of joint data to scores, given to the performance by clinicians. The model does this by extracting clinically approved features from joint data. Further, these features are encoded to a lower dimensional space with an autoencoder. A novel multi-scale CNN-LSTM network is proposed to learn a mapping of performance data to the scores by leveraging features extracted at multiple scales. The proposed system shows a high degree of improvement in score predictions and outperforms the state-of-the-art rehabilitation models.

Introduction: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome is a rare fibrovascular dysplasia that makes vascular walls vulnerable to trauma, rupture causing skin and mucosal bleeding. It is an autosomal dominant inheritance characterized by recurrent epistaxis and telangiectasia on the face, hands and oral cavity; visceral arteriovenous malformations and positive family history. We report a case of Osler Weber Rendu syndrome in a 50 year old male. Keywords: Osler weber rendu, Epistaxis, Telengiectasia. Introduction Osler weber rendu syndrome also known as hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, is characterized by small tuft of dilated capillaries scattered over the skin and mucous membranes. It is an autosomal dominant disorder. The clinical triad of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia consists of recurrent epistaxis, telangiectasias and positive family history. Recurrent epistaxis is the most frequent symptom which is usually of childhood onset. Telangiectasia presents as punctate, linear or spider like appearance involving skin, tongue, ears, palms, soles, finger tips, nail beds, oral and nasal mucous membranes. The mucosal lesions usually blanch on pressure and they are more vulnareble to spontaneous rupture and leads to bleeding. These are often associated with Arterio venous malformations affecting lung, liver and/ or brain. These patients have an abnormal plasma concentrations of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-?) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secondary to mutations in ENG, ACVRL1 and MADH4. Iron deficiency and associated anemia are frequent complications of the disease due to recurrent epistaxis and/or gastrointestinal bleeding. Case Report A 50 yr old male presented with telengiectasias on the tongue for past 6 months. He has been suffering from frequent episodes of mild to severe nasal bleeding since childhood. Blood transfusions were given twice for correction of anaem

Recent Communication and Internet technologies are making impact in every corner of life. Manufacturing is also no exception. The key idea of Concurrent Engineering (CE) is exchange of knowledge among various personnel from different enterprise of different expertise in designing a component. Even though the manufacturing community has already started realising CE in many ways, conventional CE tools lack main ingredient of CE, i.e., on-line sharing of manufacturing knowledge and data. This paper proposes an agent based architecture for sharing manufacturing data among applications, experts and enterprises

In the present study, a pot culture experiment was conducted to estimate the effect on NaCl stressed Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) the plant belongs to family Fabaceae, is a sub tropical crop, grown world wide particularly in south Asia for edible and fodder purposes, while little is known about its salinity tolerance. The seed were sown in plastic pots from 30 days after sowing (DAS), the plants were treated with 25mM, 50mM, 75mM and 100mM sodium chloride on 20th, 30th and 40th DAS. The plants samples were collected from 30th, 40th and 50th DAS. The leaf were collected for estimating pigment and biochemical content. The sodium chloride treatment decreased the chlorophyll-a, b, total chlorophyll and protein content. Similarly the amino acid and proline content were increased with increasing concentration of NaCl to a larger extent when compared to control in all the treatment day.
