Early Postoperative Outcome of Primary Closure versus T-Tube Drainage of Common Bile Duct after Open Choledocholithotomy
Abstract: Background: Choledocholithiasis is the formation of stones in the common bile duct (CBD). These stones are removed by performing CBD exploration and the closure can be done over T-tube or primarily without T-tube. The method of T-tube drainage comes with many complications and hence, nowadays, there is tendency to close CBD primarily to avoid the tube-related complications. Aims: To compare the early postoperative outcome of primary closure versus T-tube drainage …

Comparative Analysis of Distance Metrics using Face Recognition
Abstract: Researchers are using various distance metric standards in evaluation of face recognition methods. In past decades, the Eigenfaces and Fisherfaces face recognition methods were generally evaluated using the Euclidean distance (ED) metric that have shown better performance in cooperative environments, but poorly performed in non-cooperative environments. This paper presents a comparative analysis of distance metrics through face recognition methods i.e., Eigenfaces and Fisherfaces in both cooperative environments and non-cooperative environments. …

Role of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) on Survival of Free Ranging Birds: A Review
Abstract: The PCB contaminant levels reported in tissues individuals are not likely to have an impact on the demographic performance of the birds as a whole. However, the residues may reach levels causing decreased reproduction or survival in some years, particularly when combined with other non-anthropogenic stressors such as food scarcity. In addition, the birds normally would have more exposure to the contaminants due to their position in the food chain. …

Use of Nitrates and Sulphates as Hydrogen Sink in Reducing Enteric Methane Production
Abstract: AbstractMethane (CH4) and other gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), are green house gases (GHGs) that aggravates the effects of solar and thermal radiation on surface and atmospheric temperature. CH4 is the second largest GHG having 21 times more heat generation potential than CO2. Global livestock agriculture was responsible for 18% of the anthropogenic GHG emissions annually. CH4 production in the rumen accounts for 2–12 % loss of …

Effect of Quercetin against MES and PTZ-Induced Convulsions in Wistar Rats
Abstract: Besides its anti-oxidative effect, quercetin has shown to exert wide range of pharmacological effects. However, there is no experimental study on antiepileptic potential of quercetin. Hence, in the current study, the possible antiepileptic effect of quercetin has been evaluated against maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and PTZ-induced convulsions. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures are induced by applying current (150 mA, 0.2 s) through corneal electrodes using electroconvulsiometer. Absence seizures were induced by a …

Experimental Analysis of the Effect of Fine Milled Husk of Rice as a Novel Filtration Control Agent for Water Based Drilling Fluid System
Abstract: Drilling operation is a complex process that requires integration of various engineering systems. As the drilling continues, the formation encountered offers challenges to wellbore integrity as pressure increases with depth. The influx of formation fluid is contained by the overbalance provided by weighted drilling fluid column. Another critical function of the mud is to restrict the filtration fluid lost to the formation by forming a suitable mud-cake around the wellbore. …
