A Quasi-Experimental Investigation of The Effects of Two Different Negative Pressure Levels During Open Endotracheal Tube Suctioning on Physiological Parameters in Mechanically Ventilated Patients in The PCCM ICU At Pt. B.D. Sharma P.G.I.M.S., Rohtak
Abstract: Introduction: Patients who are intubated often have difficulty clearing secretions through coughing. As a result, endotracheal suctioning is essential to minimize the risk of consolidation and atelectasis, which could impair ventilation. However, suctioning can pose several risks and complications, including bleeding, infection, atelectasis, hypoxemia, cardiovascular instability, increased intracranial pressure, and potential damage to the tracheal mucosa. The level of negative pressure applied during suctioning plays a crucial role in the …

Improving Highway Surface Course Properties of Asphalt Concrete for Heavy Traffic Loading using Mineral Fillers
Abstract: Failure signs seen on both rigid and flexible pavement as distresses is most often instigated by mix properties of the surface due to many factors. Traffic loading, Stripping or raveling is another possible cause of such effects. Stripping occurs when poor adhesion between asphalt cement and aggregate allows the aggregate at the surface to dislodge. As a result, mineral fillers in hot-mix asphalt concrete to obtain certain desirable properties has …

An Aggregate-Breakage Percolation Model and ANN-Based Internal Validation for Curvature-Dependent Electrical Conductivity of MWCNT/TPU Nanocomposites
Abstract: Strain-dependent percolation models are mostly built and tested for uniaxial tension, yet many flexible sensors and stretchable devices work mainly in bending, where the outer fibre is stretched, the inner fibre is compressed and the strain changes with thickness. This study extends an aggregate-breakage percolation model, originally formulated for uniaxial strain, to through-thickness bending of a multi-walled carbon nanotube/thermoplastic polyurethane (MWCNT/TPU) nanocomposite. The local strain is taken as ε(y) = …

A Threshold Based Scheme to Detect Black Hole Attack in DTN
Abstract: Security in DTN is a challenging task. Numbers of misbehaving attacks are present in the network. In this paper we focus on Black Hole attack with the problem of misbehaving and propose a solution based on the concept of threshold and validation. Each node maintains a local value called status of node. A node “status” is the delivery probability of nodes so doing, a misbehaving node is not chosen even …

The Evaluation of the Light Parameters and Pleural Fluid Cholesterol to Determine the Differences Between Exudative and Transudative Pleural Discharge
Abstract: Background: Pleural effusion occurs when an imbalance between pleural fluid production and absorption leads to the accumulation of excess fluid in the pleural cavity. Pleural effusions are commonly classified into two types: transudative or exudative, depending on the underlying mechanism of fluid formation. While transudates typically result from systemic factors like heart failure or liver cirrhosis, exudates are usually caused by local factors such as infection, malignancy, or inflammation. Differentiating …

A Threshold-Weighted Mathematical Fusion Model for Epidemic Outbreak Prediction Using SEIR Residual Dynamics and Cloud-Based Machine Learning
Abstract: Accurate prediction of epidemic outbreaks is critical for effective public health management, resource planning, early warning generation, and timely intervention by municipal authorities. Traditional compartmental models such as Susceptible–Exposed–Infectious–Recovered (SEIR) offer valuable epidemiological insights and mathematical interpretability; however, they may not adequately capture the complex nonlinear relationships present in real-world urban health systems. Conversely, data-driven machine learning techniques can identify hidden patterns in large datasets but often lack epidemiological structure …
