It aims at keeping both the individual and the society healthy and happy by preservation and promotion of physical and mental health and prevention of diseases. These measures are described in detail in the form of dina carya, rtu carya and ratri carya. For a common man, these practices are prescribed in the form of...

In 2010–2012, the hydrogeological model (HM) of Latvia LAMO was established by scientists of Riga Technical University (RTU). The commercial program Groundwater Vistas (GV) is used for running LAMO. Efficient methods have been used for creating geometry of HM, the arrangement of various boundary conditions (digital terrain map, hydrographical network, infiltration flow, conditions on the HM she...

We describe a framework for providing quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees within the endsystem for networked multimedia applications. There are four components in this framework namely|QoS speciication, QoS mapping, QoS enforcement, and protocol implementation. QoS speciications are at a high level, and use a small number of parameters to allow applications greater ease in specifying their requ...

The survival and growth of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (ATCC 43888 and NCTC 12900) and Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 19114 and NCTC 11994) during storage (4 and 88C) on ready-to-use (RTU) packaged vegetables ( lettuce, swedes (rutabaga) , dry coleslaw mix, soybean sprouts) were studied. The vegetables were sealed within oriented polypropylene packaging film, and modified atmospheres developed in pa...

During the last decade several Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) hardware accelerators have been proposed. The accelerators perform operating system functionality traditionally implemented in software. While their effects on predictability and speedups have been studied, their impact on system energy consumption is still unknown. As a first step towards comparison of energy efficiency between H...

In today's competitive electric market, utilities are expected to provide highly reliable power supplies at the lowest possible cost. Distribution automation and remote control are recognized as ways for intelligently using appropriate technology to increase the reliability at reduced system operation cost, automated operations and service restoration can eliminate the need to send out the pers...

AIMS To evaluate the effectiveness of two spray-based decontamination methods for surface contamination reduction and to determine the potential for contamination spread by these methods. METHODS AND RESULTS Material coupons (treated plywood and concrete) were contaminated with c. 1 × 10(7) spores of Bacillus atrophaeus by aerosol deposition. Decontaminants (pH-adjusted bleach or Spor-Klenz(®...

While buildings served by multiple rooftop units (RTUs) are widely prevalent in retail and food industries, optimal coordination among RTUs has received little attention. Currently, most buildings utilize plain feedback or heuristic strategies to determine RTU operations. In this paper, we present a switched dynamic programming based approach for optimal scheduling of rooftop unit operations. U...

The availability of inexpensive, lightweight, portable ultrasound machines will greatly facilitate the use of reproductive imaging in the female pig and may prove useful in making management decisions based on an accurate diagnosis of the reproductive status of the sow or gilt at any point in time. Real-time ultrasonography (RTU) using 3.5 and 5.0 MHz transducers transabdominally or 5.0 and 7.5...
