To compare the effectiveness of the dry needling Versus instrumented assisted soft tisse mobilization Technique on scapular dyskinesia in college students with trapezitis – a comparative study
Abstract: Background: Scapular dyskinesis, a term denoting dysfunctional movement of the scapula, often involves the upper trapezius (UT) muscle, which is frequently affected by myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). Common symptoms associated with MTrPs in the UT muscle include tense and painful muscles, tension headaches, neck pain, dizziness or vertigo, and restricted range of motion in the neck and shoulder. Dry needling, a technique used to address MTrPs, targets localized hypersensitive spots …

Improved Unified Power Quality Conditioner Design and Numerical Simulation for Power Quality Improvement
Abstract: Harmonic currents can distort the waveform voltage, resulting in a weak signal. There is also an increase in the number of loads requiring enough sinus tension to function properly. As electronic devices become more power-sensitive, people are becoming increasingly interested in power conditioning solutions. Therefore, if the amount of electricity being generated falls below a certain threshold, some type of compensation must be provided. Unified Power Quality Controller (UPQC) is …

Human Age and Gender Determination Using Fingerprints
Abstract: We present a review of technologies to determine human age and gender using fingerprints. Broadly two methodologies are reviewed i.e. Ridge based human age and gender determination and Image based human age and gender determination. Ridge based techniques uses ridge information with its variant statistics measures for classification of a human fingerprint into different classes of age groups and male/female distinction. These methods do not involve separate classifiers for classification …

Investigation of Electro-optical Characteristic and Structure Optimization of PMMA: Bepq2/BCP/Tpbi Blue Highly Efficient OLED Device
Abstract: In this Investigation, the energy level structure of the Spiro-MeOTAD/PMMA: Bepq2/BCP/Tpbi/LiF OLED has been investigated to explain the method of electron-hole charge carrier pair recombination and the light generation. The Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics model was applied to optimize the structure to reduce the band gap between conductive layers. We found the simulated results J–V, J-Illumination flux, and Current Efficiency (CE) characteristics when we applied forward bias. Inconclusive results determined the threshold …

Design and Simulation of Low-power, High-speed Effective Area Mux Based One-bit Full Adder Using CMOS Technology
Abstract: Our findings reveal a novel kind of circuit capable of performing both XOR and XNOR operations in parallel. Power dissipation and delay are both greatly reduced in the proposed circuits due to their low output capacitance as well as minimal short-circuit power dissipation. We show six new hybrid 1-bit full-adder (FA) circuits that take use of the XOR-XNOR or XOR/XNOR gates' special full-swing function. Each potential circuit layout has both …
