Abstract The present study was carried out with an aim to emphasis on the effects of radio-frequency electromagnetic radiations from cell towers on human beings. Questionnaire based survey was conducted by means of interviews and general discussions with a population size of 181 inhabitants residing in five different localities (viz., Gangondahalli, Nagarabhavi, Moodalpalya, Chandra layout, Guddadahalli) of Bangalore south taluk. The participants themselves filled the self-administered questionnaire by entering their response data on the health effects faced due to establishment of mobile towers. Exposure assessment was based on the distances from base stations (less than 10 m, 10-50 m, 50-100 m, 100-200 m, 200-300 m, > 300 m) and their location in relation to the antennas (facing, beside, behind, beneath in the case of antennas placed on rooftops). Based on results congregated, it was evident that headache, irritability, nausea, appetite loss, discomfort, sleep disturbance, depression, memory loss difficulty in concentration and dizziness, etc., are more frequently observed symptoms of ill-health in the exposed groups. It is concluded that the cell phones and cell phone tower radiation are a strong risk factor for all the adverse health effects.

The objective of the present investigation is to analyze the radiation and mass transfer effects on an unsteady two-dimensional laminar convective boundary layer flow of a viscous, incompressible, chemically reacting and dissipative fluid along a semi-infinite vertical plate with suction. The equations of continuity, linear momentum, energy and diffusion, which govern the flow field are solved by using a regular perturbation method. The behavior of the velocity, temperature, concentration has been discussed numerically and graphically for variations in the governing parameters.

Glibenclamide, a sulfonylurea derivative is widely used as hypoglycaemic agent. Glibenclamide is a highly permeable class II drug. Hence, rate of oral absorption is often controlled by the dissolution rate in the gastrointestinal (GI)tract. Therefore, the Liquisolid compact of Glibenclamide has been prepared for the enhancement of dissolution of Glibenclamide. Neusilin US2 was selected as carrier material and Aerosil 200 was selected as coating material. A Central composite factorial design was applied to optimize the drug release profile systematically. The amounts of drug (%) in PEG 400 (X1) and Excipient ratio, R (X2) were selected as independent variables. Angle of repose (Y1), Hardness (Y2) and CPR at 10 min (Y3) were seleced as dependent variables. All the batches of Liquisolid compacts showed significance improvement in dissolution of Glibenclamide. Various dissolution parameters like DP10min, %DE10min and MDT of optimized batch and direct conventional tablet were compared. DSC and XRD analysis of pure Glibenclamide, physical mixture and final formulation indicated that the drug was solubilized in non-volatile vehicle and solubilization of Glibenclamide was the main cause of enhancement of solubility of Glibenclamide. Storage of the prepared formulations at 45°C for one month showed no any chemical incompatibility. It was concluded that, Liquisolid compact technique can be a simple and effective to enhance the dissolution of poorly water soluble drug.

This research work proposes a novel technique for Automatic face recognition (AFR) system using cascaded structures and clustering network. Human beings at a very early age are capable of recognizing the varying facial features, due to the Human Visual System (HVS). But it’s difficult to depict the human visual system using computer vision system. The basic idea used in this proposed work is to use divide and conquer method, where we design a particular approach for each processing stage and then embedding the entire strategy for AFR system. In this proposed work, two important factors namely cost efficiency and applied technology for varying characteristics of input image are considered respectively, irrespective of the traditional factors such as accuracy, retrieving rate etc. For facial detection, a heterogeneous cascaded detector based on various features is designed to increase the processing capability and detecting efficiency respectively. For facial feature extraction, sparse graph, component based direct fitting and component based texture fitting methods are used to extract the various features at different orientations.

Sexual violence is a global problem and also a public health concern (Beidel and Turner, 2007; Gutman, Herman-Giddens and McKinney, 1993), it takes different forms, this includes rape, sexual abuse, harassment or any form of sexual exploitation, child tricking and pornography (United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), 2012). Kenya is faced with a problem of girls’ abuse because of cultural beliefs that supports the act of sexual intercourse with girls as a cure for HIV, this, however leads to unwanted pregnancy, serious mental health, gynaecological complications, high risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Children experience sexual abuse in their homes, schools, institution, workplace and within their community. Sexual violence towards children is an illegal violation of children's human right. Cases of child sexual abuse have continued to increase for many year which brings a serious focus on establishing the true scope of the problems and a genuine concern for policymakers, and professionals (Finkelhor 1986; Hall and Lloyd, 1993). Considering the legal rights a child has, it is important that any form of abuse should have serious penalties, although, there are laws towards child protection in Kenya, they are not effective. At the same time, ethical principles have supported every human being on how they are being treated in the society which now draws the attention of the government in Kenya and international organisation to support and protect children that were abused. Therefore, this report will major on the sexual abuse experienced by young girls, although young boys are also faced with sexual abuse, but on rare cases. It is written to address the prevalence which results from the cultural beliefs in Kenya; the ethical and legal issues relating to this child sexual abuse will be examined, protocol and recommendation to avoid future occurrence will also be discussed.

To evaluate the performance of ion exchange HPLC method using Bio-Rad D10 analyser and compare with Immunoturbidimentric method (IT) of Beckman Coulter (BC)for the measurement of HbA1c in human blood. 100 patients blood samples referred for HbA1c test by the diabetic clinic, both Males and Females with a wide range of age groups were used for this study. Blood samples for HbA1c was collected as per standard protocols. Measurement of HbA1c was carried out using both methods. Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) protocols for the evaluation of a new method was followed in this study. The intra and inter assay precision obtained were 1.0 % and 1.41 % and the intra and inter accuracy were 1.5 % & 1.3 % for HPLC method and the figures for IT method was 1.5 % and 2.0 % for Intra & Inter assay precision and 1.5 % & 0.8 % for intra and inter accuracy. All statistical parameters obtained in this study are well within those recommended by International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) & World Health Organization (WHO). The linearity obtained for both the methods are similar (4.2 to 16 %). HPLC method using Bio-Rad D10 analyser is comparable to the method based on IT of Beckman Coulter in terms of precision and accuracy. Hence the laboratory confidently switched over to this method for measuring HbA1c.

The corrosion inhibition and adsorption processes of L - METHIONINE SULFONE (LMS) on mild steel in 2 HCl was studied by means of chemical (weight loss), electrochemical and quantum chemical techniques. The inhibition efficiency increases with decreasing temperature and increasing concentration of inhibitor. It has been determined that the adsorption of LMS on mild steel obeys the Temkin adsorption isotherm at all studied temperatures with negative values of ?Goads, suggesting a stable and a spontaneous inhibition process. In potentiodynamic polarization, the curves shifted towards lower current density in the presence of LMS with well-defined Tafel regions suggesting that the inhibitor retard the corrosion process without changing the mechanism of the corrosion process; and exhibit cathodic and anodic polarization (mixed type inhibitors) because the change in Ecorr is less than 85 vM/SCE with respect to the blank. Corrosion current density was calculated by extrapolation of the linear parts of these curves to the corresponding corrosion potential; and corrosion potential (Ecorr), corrosion current densities (icorr), anodic Tafel slope (?a), cathodic Tafel slope (?b) were determined with maximum value of inhibition efficiency for 5 x 10-4 M concentration of the inhibitor at 303 K is 75.1%. From Nyquist plots of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, value of polarization resistance (Rp) increased with increasing inhibitor concentration whereas double layer capacitance (Cdl) decreased indicating a decrease in local dielectric constant or an increase in thickness of electric double layer suggesting that the inhibitors function by forming a protective layer at the metal surface. Inhibition efficiency value (? %) is 55.9%. Quantum chemical calculations were performed using Density Functional Theory (DFT) with the help of complete geometry optimization for theoretical calculations of EHOMO, ELUMO, and energy gap (?E). Inhibition efficiency increases with increasing EHOMO indicating that the molecule has tendency to donate electrons to the appropriate acceptor molecule with low energy empty molecular orbital; whereas low value of ELUMO suggests that the molecule easily accepts electrons from donor molecules.
