Developing an intuitionistic fuzzy rough new correlation coefficient approach for enhancing robotic vacuum cleaner.

An intuitionistic fuzzy rough model is a powerful tool for dealing with complex uncertainty and imprecision in graph-based models, combining the strengths of intuitionistic fuzzy sets and rough sets. In this research, a correlation coefficient is an established tool for finding the strength of the relationship between two intuitionistic fuzzy rough graphs since correlation coefficients are very capable of processing and interpreting data. Furthermore, an intuitionistic fuzzy rough environment is integrated with attribute decision-making based on correlation coefficients.

Correlating the Dipolar Interactions Induced Magneto-Viscoelasticity and Thermal Conductivity Enhancements in Nanomagnetic Fluids.

The effective thermal management of electronic system holds the key to maximize their performance. The recent miniaturization trends require a cooling system with high heat flux capacity, localized cooling, and active control. Nanomagnetic fluids (NMFs) based cooling systems have the ability to meet the current demand of the cooling system for the miniaturized electronic system.

Effect of high fat diet on maternal behavior, brain-derived neurotrophic factor and neural stem cell proliferation in mice expressing human placental lactogen during pregnancy.

Maternal obesity is a serious health concern because it increases risks of neurological disorders, including anxiety and peripartum depression. In mice, a high fat diet (HFD) in pregnancy can negatively affect placental structure and function as well as maternal behavior reflected by impaired nest building and pup-retrieval. In humans, maternal obesity in pregnancy is associated with reduced placental lactogen (PL) gene expression, which has been linked to a higher risk of depression.

Microwave-assisted Synthesis, Characterization, Photocatalytic Degradation of Antibiotics, and Fluorometric Selective Sensing Activity of g-CN Supported CuO Composites.

Herein, we have designed for the fabrication of a series of g-CN/CuO composite by using one-step microwave-assisted synthesis for the degradation of antibiotics and detection of nano-molar range of toxic heavy metal ions. The synthesized g-CN/CuO composites were analyzed and characterized to know the structure, phase, surface area, absorption region, bandgap, and size of the composites. From the observation of TEM and XRD measurements, g-CN/CuO composites have hexagonal shape with average diameter of the particles is 25 ± 5 nm.

Neurogenesis in the Maternal Rodent Brain: Impacts of Gestation-Related Hormonal Regulation, Stress, and Obesity.

In order to maintain maternal behavior, it is important that the maternal rodent brain promotes neurogenesis. Maternal neurogenesis is altered by the dynamic shifts in reproductive hormone levels during pregnancy. Thus, lifestyle events such as gestational stress and obesity that can affect hormone production will affect neuroendocrine control of maternal neurogenesis.

Optimal time management on linear accelerator: A logical model to reduce patient waiting time.

Introdction: Optimal time management is of utmost importance in the radiotherapy department. Inappropriate allocation of time slots leads to prolonged waiting times and decreased patient satisfaction during external beam radiotherapy. The present study tests a logical model to improve the waiting time for the patients.

Obesity and regulation of human placental lactogen production in pregnancy.

The four genes coding for placental members of the human (h) growth hormone (GH) family include two that code independently for placental lactogen (PL), also known as chorionic somatomammotrophin hormone, one that codes for placental growth hormone (PGH) and a pseudogene for which RNA but no protein product is reported. These genes are expressed preferentially in the villus syncytiotrophoblast of the placenta in pregnancy. In higher primates, the placental members, including hPL and PGH, are the result of multiple duplication events of the GH gene.

Oral Health Status and Treatment Needs among Hemophilic Children in Hyderabad, Telangana, India.

Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the dental caries stratus and treatment needs of hemophilic children with that of healthy and normal children.

Materials And Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 60 subjects with age ranging from 7-16 years attending and registering their names, residential address, parental occupation, and other criteria in Hemophilic Society at the Telangana state. The oral hygiene status was recorded by using oral hygiene index-simplified (OHI-S).

An electronic travel guide for visually impaired - vehicle board recognition system through computer vision techniques.

In the context of assistive technology, mobility takes the meaning of "moving safely, gracefully, and comfortably".The aim of this article is to provide a system which will be a convenient means of navigation for the Visually Impaired people, in the public transport system. A blind regular commuter who travels by public transport facility finds difficulty in identifying the vehicle that is nearing the stop.

A bio metric based approach for using captcha - to enhance accessibility for the visually impaired.

To propose a system for convenience in using CAPTCHA by the Visually Impaired person. To make this access secure CAPTCHA ("Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") was invented. This form of CAPTCHA requires that the user type the letters of a distorted image, sometimes with the addition of an obscured sequence of letters or digits that appears on the screen.

Immobilization versus no immobilization for pelvic external beam radiotherapy.

Aim: To identify the most reproducible technique of patient positioning and immobilization during pelvic radiotherapy.

Background: Radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of pelvic malignancies. Errors in positioning of patient are an integral component of treatment.

Phytochemical and biological assessments on Lipidium meyenii (maca) and Epimidium sagittatum (horny goat weed).

The effects of Lipidium meyenii (maca, LM) and Epimidium sagittatum (horny goat weed, ES) have been investigated due to their involvement in fertilization. Both of the drugs showed good results before, during and after fertilization in male and female mice. The results revealed that the crude extract of Lipidium meyenii caused a significant decrease in the no.

Effect of partial atomic charges on the calculated free energy of solvation of poly(vinyl alcohol) in selected solvents.

It is well-known that properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in the pure and solution states depend largely on the hydrogen bonding networks formed. In the context of molecular simulation, such networks are handled through the Coulombic interactions. Therefore, a good set of partial atom charges (PACs) for simulations involving PVA is highly desirable.

In vivo evaluation of taste masking for developed chewable and orodispersible tablets in humans and rats.

Rats have inherent licking behavior and responses to good and aversive tasting stimuli, which are comparable to humans. Taste masking of chewable and orodispersible tablets of an iron EDTA complex salt was evaluated using rat behavioral avoidance model, brief access test. Taste-masked chewable and orodispersible tablets of iron EDTA complex were prepared using various flavors and sweeteners as taste-masking agents.

CeO(2) catalysts catalyze the reaction of methanol with low pressure CO(2) to form dimethyl carbonate and the reaction was promoted by the combination with acetonitrile hydration over CeO(2).

Physiologically clotted fibrin-calcined bone composite--a possible bone graft substitute.

Fibrin plays a major role in blood clotting and is important in wound healing. In the present study, physiologically clotted fibrin (PF) and calcined bone (CB) both of bovine origin were used in the preparation of a bone graft material with chitosan (C) as a binder. This bone graft (PF-CB) was characterized by stress-strain analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and FTIR spectroscopy.
