The main objective of this paper is to use of Genetic Algorithm method for optimization techniques. In recent trends the concept and practice for electricity has been changed due to deregulation of power system. Better utilization of the existing system resources to increase capability with economic cost becomes essential. Genetic algorithm (GA) is an optimization and search technique based on the principles of genetics and natural selection. GAs operates on a population of potential solutions applying the principle of survival of the fittest to produce successively better approximations to a solution. In this paper efficient MATLAB code is generated for the solution of mathematical problem in which minimization of objective function. Real Genetic Algorithm is used and result is presented. ABSTRACT

Background & objectives: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has infected several million individuals in India. Various interventions have been implemented for early detection and prevention of transmission of HIV infection. This has progressively changed the clinical profile of HIV infected individuals and this study documents the clinical presentation of individuals positive for HIV in 2010, in Pune, Maharashtra, India. Methods: This cross-sectional study included subjects who had come to the HIV referral clinic for HIV testing from January to December 2010. c0 hildren as well as individuals with indeterminate HIV result were excluded from the study, and data for 1546 subjects were finally analysed. Results: The HIV positivity rate among all referred cases for the year 2010 was 35 per cent (male 55% and females 45%). The median age (Q1, Q3) was 31 (25.75, 39) yr. The median CD4 cell count for all HIV infected individuals (whose CD4 count was available n= 345) was 241 cells/µl and for asymptomatic HIV infected individuals was 319 cells/µl. There were 673 (43.5%) symptomatic and 873 (56.5%) asymptomatic participants. Fever, breathlessness, cough with expectoration, weight loss, loss of appetite, generalized weakness, pallor and lymphadenopathy (axillary and cervical) were found to be associated ( p0 < 0.001) with HIV positivity. On multivariate analysis, history of h0 erpes zoster [AOR 11.314 (6.111-20.949)] and TB [AOR 11.214 (6.111-20.949)] was associated with HIV positivity. Interpretation & conclusions: Signs and symptoms associated with HIV positivity observed in this study can be used by health care providers to detect HIV infection early. Moreover, similar to HIV testing in patients with tuberculosis, strategies can be developed for considering Herpes zoster as a predictor of HIV infection.

Malrotation of the midgut is generally regarded as paediatric pathology with the majority of patients presenting in childhood. The diagnosis is rare in adults, which sometimes results in delayed diagnosis and treatment. We present the case of a 28-year-old woman who presented with vomiting and mild acute pain in the abdomen. CT scan showed abnormal location of the midgut and abnormal relation of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) and duodenal jejunal flexure, confirming midgut malrotation. Peroperative findings showed the duodenum, small bowel loops located on the right side of the abdomen. The caecum and appendix were located at the midline in the epigastrium with the presence of Ladd's bands. SMA right and anterior to SMV whirled around SMA. Incidentally, the intraoperatively dilated left renal vein was compressed between the SMA and the aorta, which was confirmed retrospectively on CT scan with no symptoms related to the condition.
