Design of Lowpass Filter with Improved Roll Off Factor using Coin Shape Fractal DGS
Abstract: This paper presents the design of lowpass planar filter with improved roll of factor. To improve the performance figures of filter such as return loss, roll off factor, compactness, etc. coin shape fractal defected ground structure (DGS) has been embedded in the ground plane of the filter. The proposed filter gives improvement of roll off factor about 5 times as compared to traditional filter design technique. Laboratory prototypes of all …

Machine Learning Based Smart Aquaponics Farming System
Abstract: For many years, researchers have been studying nutrient management in aquaponic systems. Most have concentrated on adequate nutrition control in an aquaponic setup, but there has been relatively little study on commercial scale applications. For plant growth, it is necessary to measure the level of nutrients present in the soil mixture. In our model, the input data was sourced on some interval of time basis from three commercial aquaponic farms. …

A Silver flickering in Infinity Power of Invisible Particle
Abstract: A charged particle, in a medium, which is at below detectable level has a capacity to react with another particle resulting in the formation of measurable particle. Thus, the reaction results in conversion of invisible particle to measurable visible particle. The experiment was carried out using easily reactive and water-soluble particles of silver nitrate and sodium chloride. The findings reveal the ability of invisible charged particles in nature to transform …

Significant Prolongation of QTc-Interval in Overweight-Obese Hypertensive Patients Does Not Relate to the Obesity as a Risk Factor
Abstract: The duration of QT interval in the electrocardiograph record represents the ventricular repolarization. It is prolonged in women, ageing and using certain medications. In hypertensive patients, prolongation of QT interval is associated with cardiac risk factors and/or the complications of hypertension. This study aimed to measure the uncorrected (QT) and corrected (QTc) intervals using different formulas in overweight-obese patients with chronic hypertension. A total number of 25 healthy subjects and …

Effect of Nutritional Counselling on Risk Level of Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) of Middle-aged Non-insulin Dependent Diabetics
Abstract: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a prolonged period of time. As the average amount of plasma glucose increases, the fraction of glycosylated hemoglobin increases in a predictable way. This serves as a marker for average blood glucose levels over the previous months prior to the measurement. Present study was conducted on diabetic patients who were …
