With the development of cloud computing, an increasing number of users are using cloud-based personal health record (PHR) systems. The PHR is closely tied to patient privacy, and thus existing studies suggest encrypting PHRs before outsourcing. Comparison-based encryption (CBE) was the first to implement time comparison in an attribute-based access policy by means of the forward and backward de...

BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a powerful enhancer of vascular permeability and inflammatory response; however its significance in chronic urticaria is poorly recognised. AIM To compare free circulating levels of VEGF and its soluble receptors (sVEGFR1 and VEGFR2) in patients with different forms of chronic urticaria. METHODS The concentrations of VEGF and its recep...

Black gram, one of the important species of Asian Vigna group of grain legumes, is widely grown in South Asia and is an important source of dietary protein. The two main biological constraints particularly Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus(MYMIV) and powdery mildew pose a major threat to black gram production in India. Several reports on mapping mungbean yellow mosaic virus disease and powdery...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of different freehand exercises on the electromyographic (EMG) activity of Triceps Brachii (TB) and Pectoralis Major (PM) muscles. Ten healthy men (21.25 ± 2.09 years) performed 1 repetition of four different freehand exercises. The maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) was recorded with the help of biograph infinity software (EMG). Surface ElectroMyoGr...

Sir, Blastocystis hominis is one of the most common human intestinal protozoans in the world, especially in developing countries. Nevertheless, current knowledge about this parasite is incomplete and, despite recent progresses, several issues are still controversial and much debated, such as the clinical relevance and pathogenicity (1–4). B. hominis has been found in patients with gastrointesti...

Objective: To evaluate the optimization level of a dairy production unit (DPU) through mathematical programming model (MP). It is expected that by maximizing net income at least 10%, DPU will be more profitable than without optimized management. Design/Methodology/Approach: The analysis was carried out under economic approach agricultural production, taking into consideration 11 decision variab...

Computation in several real-world applications like probabilistic machine learning, sparse linear algebra, and robotic navigation, can be modeled as irregular directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). The data dependencies DAGs pose challenges to parallel execution on general-purpose CPUs GPUs, resulting severe under-utilization of the hardware. This paper proposes DPU, a specialized processor designed f...

six-sigma has some measures which measure performance characteristics related to a process. in most of the traditional methods, exact estimation is used to assess these measures and to utilize them in practice. in this paper, to estimate some of these measures, including defects per million opportunities (dpmo), defects per opportunity (dpo), defects per unit (dpu) and yield, a new algorithm ba...

Distributed control systems in power plants are the latest trends to optimize and control performance. Reliability prediction of input-output components of distributed control systems have a key role to play in the power plant scenario. Triple modular redundancy is a means of increasing reliability of systems. Triple modular redundancy of three modules each containing m cards is studied in this...
