Quality Analysis of Fruit Samples by Non-invasive Method
Abstract: AbstractFruit quality is an important food manufacturing requirement, because food consumers are susceptible to any form of contamination that may occur during the manufacturing process. This includes external factors as appearance (size, shape, colour, gloss, and consistency), texture, and flavor ; factors such as federal grade standards (e.g. Apple) and internal (chemical, physical, microbial). In this experiment, the dielectric constant of free space (of air) is measured using a parallel …

Effect of Burnishing on the Surface Quality and Hardness of ABS Plastic Samples Fabricated with Fused Deposition Modeling
Abstract: Quality of surface is one of the important factors to decide the performance of a manufactured product. Fused deposition modeling has been used to fabricate the stepped cylindrical samples for surface roughness evaluation. The axis of the stepped cylinder was oriented as horizontal to minimize the time of fabrication. Evidently the surface quality was not satisfactory due to the staircase effect. Using burnishing process, an attempt was made to improve …

Application of Compressive Sensing for Sampling and Reconstruction of MRI Images
Abstract: In recent years, a new theory of compressive sensing has evolved which asserts that super resolved signals and images can be recovered with far fewer samples than that demanded by the Nyquist sampling theorem. It is required that the signal being sensed has a low information-rate meaning that it is sparse in original or some transform domain. Former approaches capture the complete signal and process it to extract the information. …

Graphical Representation and Interpretation of Data of Height/Weight of a Sample of 100 Humans in Relation to their Age and Sex
Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents recommendations for the analysis and presentation of height and weight data from surveillance or surveys involving age and sex in 100 human samples of variable ages. These recommendations are only for the analysis of data collected on a cross-sectional basis. The basic indices recommended are height for age and weight for height, each considered either in terms of centiles or in a cross-classification scheme using standard deviation …

Evaluation of Lippu Ointment and Market Sample for Skin Hydration and Emolliency
Abstract: Skin hydration and emolliency levels are the two important aspects of skin. The balance of these shows the skin integrity. The water and oil level present in skin i.e., in stratum corneum determines the hydration and Emolliency. There are various methods present to measure moisture and emollient levels. Measuring oil and moisture level of skin is simple and reliable method to understand the variations in the skin when treated with …

Antibiotic Resistance Studies in Streptococcus mutans Isolated from Dental Plaque Samples
Abstract: Dental plaque is an archetypical biofilm composed of a complex microbial community. It is the etiological agent for major dental diseases such as dental caries and periodontal disease. Streptococcus mutans has been heavily implicated in dental plaque formation. The control of plaque can be achieved by mechanical oral hygiene procedures. However, in many cases, that is not enough to completely get rid of the biofilm. The addition of antiplaque or …

Role of Ahara and Aushadha Mentioned in “Prameha Chikitsa Adhyaya” of Charak Samhita in Management of Agni with Special Reference to Kaphaja Prameha
Abstract: In Ayurveda health is dependent mainly on Equilibrium of Dosha, Agni, Dhatu and Proper function of Mala. Agni is the only factor in life, and when it disappears, it causes death. Keeping Agni in good condition promotes long life. Jatharagni is divided into four separate states. Sama (well-maintained and regular), Manda (weak or less powered), Teekshna (intenese), and Vishama (irregular) states. Samagni is the only one of Agni's four states …
