 Abstract

A series of novel imidazolidinone derivatives have been obtained starting from 2,4-dinitro phenyl hydrazine and aldehyde. These were converted to corresponding Schiff bases using THF. The resulting Schiff base was treated with ?-amino acids to obtain corresponding imidazolidinone derivatives. The newly synthesized compounds showed high antimicrobial activities against some bacterial and fungal strains and anticancer activity.

 Abstract

High blood pressure, also referred as, hypertension could be a silent killer which increases the danger of diseases like heart attack, kidney disease, metabolic syndrome and blindness. It can also cause premature death. It's necessary to monitor the blood pressure continuously, so as to stop diseases and death. The normal method of pressure measurement uses sphygmomanometer with cuff which is not an effective method to monitor the blood pressure continuously. This paper involves a different method to estimate the pressure continuously and non-invasively. We employ a technique of determining pulse transit time (PTT) parameter from obtaining the Electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmogram (PPG). The PTT is time taken by the blood pressure waves to move from one point to another point of arteries. The PTT helps to estimate the blood pressure in unremitting manner. We implement this method through low cost and reliable embedded systems design to simultaneously measure the ECG and PPG signal. Those signals are further processed to determine the PTT by applying peak detection algorithms. The PTT is further used to estimate the blood pressure. The IoT helps to monitor blood pressure and heart rate through the android/web applications.

 Abstract

Education plays a very important part in everyone�s life. But the factors associated with it (exams, assignments, competition, etc.) place great amount of stress among students (Martin, 2007). It has been observed that the overall prevalence rates of stress have significantly increased over time (Jain & Singhai, 2018). In particular academic stress, which has become a part of students� academic life, poses a great threat to their psychological and physical well-being.Coping is a dynamic situation-specific reaction to stress. It is a set of concrete response to stressful situations or events that are intended to resolve the problem and reduce the stress. The objective of the study was to find the difference in coping among Day Scholar and Hostellers. A quantitative research approach was used using comparative study Design, there were 36 students who were divided into Day Scholars and Hostellers (n1=18) (n2=18). Coping scale by hamby, Grych, & Banyard was used. Results reveal that the mean score varied between the two variable. Mean of Day Scholar are 31.52, Mean of Hostelers are 31.83. As there is a very little difference in the mean score of Hostellers as compared to Day scholars, we can say that students who are Day Scholars are a bit high on coping as compared to student who are hostellers, as there can be many reasons behind it like Home, Emotional support provided by parents, better health condition and many other factors. Hence the study confirmed that students who are Day Scholars are cope easily from stressful situation as compared to student who are Hostellers. Through this research we have found out that that those who are staying at home have more ability to cope as compared to hostellers.

Abstract Present study was designed to investigate the impact of socio-economic status on mental health and also to search the relationship between socio-economic status and mental health. As a sample 100 respondents were classified considering their levels of socio-economic status into high and low category into two equal groups. Product moment correlation was used to search the relationship between levels of socio-economic status with mental health. Comparison between high and low socio-economic status respondent was made using �t� Test of significance. For measuring mental health, questionnaire developed by Dr. R. D. Helode was used, and for measuring socio-economic status, scale constructed by Ranbir Singh & Satih Kumar was used. Findings of the study revealed positive significant relationship between levels of socio-economic status and mental health. However, significant variation exist between high and low socio-economic status respondents on mental health, where high socio-economic status respondent found superior over low socioeconomic status subjects.

 Abstract

These days well being is a significant worry for everybody so right conference is significant. There are extremely less answers for that so as good as ever arrangement ought to be created. This framework predicts the infection of the user(patient) by the side effects gave by the user(patient) and furthermore gives medicine checked by the specialist himself. There are frameworks like these which are recently actualized yet a large portion of them simply offer reference to the specialist's which are identified with the specific malady and every one of them center around a significant illness like kidney, heart or liver infection. Proposed framework defeats the downsides of other existing frameworks as in, this framework gives medicine confirmed by the specialist and it generally centers around a fundamental sickness like dengue, intestinal sickness, cold, fever, and so on which are for the most part not featured by different frameworks. The proposed framework is better as in this framework has a specialist module which checks the remedy. This proposed framework has three kinds of side effects classes which are (essential, typical, basic) which is helpful as though the patient is basic, he/she will be legitimately given the calling subtleties of the specialist rather than framework recommending them. The proposed framework includes a forecast framework where a patient can see different specialists for their medical problem. This framework will likewise give a rundown of different master specialists accessible for a specific clinical issue. In the clinical area, choices normally have exceptionally high hazard and to maintain a strategic distance from that outcome ought to be exact with check from specialists.

 Abstract

In this review paper, we have studied different methods of SUH which can be used for the ungauged catchments for this we have studied few traditional methods i.e. Snyder method, Taylor and Schwarz model, Soil Conservation Service method. Geomorphological models in which we have studied GIUH model, Width Function Based GIUH model, GIUH Based 2PGD Nash model. We studied probability distribution function- based SUH method i.e. Transmutation method. We have also studied the traditional method from Akshay Thorvat research paper. During our study, we found that calculation by using of Traditional methods gives us the same results as we can expect from other methods. Traditional methods can be used by the students for their calculation purpose which can give same results same as by other methods. The other methods need study of conceptual models as well as need of the study of GIS Software for the GIUH model study which is not needed for the traditional methods if the topographic features which required for the catchment area are known to the hydrologist.

 Abstract

Packaging of products is an eminent feature of marketing communication, especially in this fast-paced and dynamic day and age. Packaging cues create interest in the minds of consumers, which ultimately may result in a purchase decision. Consumers� perceived quality of a product is important in determining the brand�s longevity. Positive perceived quality and packaging cues of products are important antecedents to the purchase decision of an aware consumer. The aim of this article is to study the importance of quality perception and packaging cues in the purchase intention of consumers. This research paper examines the consumers� purchase intention with regard to the products of �JOOT Foods� which are natural, have no added preservatives and do not contain artificial substances. A quantitative research was conducted by distributing one hundred and fifty sets of questionnaires to consumers in Chennai through Google Forms. Results show that packaging cues and quality perception have a direct and positive relationship with the purchase intention of consumers. This research with its analysis can be beneficial to JOOT Foods by aiding them in maintaining and enhancing their existing product packaging and quality to further stimulate consumers� interest and create a niche for the products in the market.

 Abstract

The accident rate due to negligence of observing traffic signs and not obeying traffic rules has been increasing drastically. By utilization of synthesized training data, which are created from road traffic sign images allows us to overcome the problems of traffic sign detection databases, which vary for countries and regions. This method is used for the generation of a database which consists of synthesized pictures to detect traffic signs under different view-light conditions. With this data set and a perfect Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), we can develop a data driven, traffic sign recognition and detection system which has high detection accuracy and also has high performance ability in training and recognition processes. This ensures less occurrence of accidents and also helps the driver to concentrate on driving rather than observing each and every traffic sign. The purpose of this paper is to provide an efficient method for detection and recognition of traffic signs in India. We proposed methods like neural network and feature extraction which overcome the limitations of existing methods and improve the efficiency in detecting traffic signs and also reduce the road accidents.
