An investigation on anti-depressant activity of fresh fruit juice of Malus domestica in experimental animal models

Objective: To evaluate the anti-depressant effect of acute and chronic administration of fresh fruit juice of Malus domestica in experimental animal models. Methods: Anti-depressant activity of fresh fruit juice of Malus domestica was investigated in experimental animal models. Two doses 0.5ml and 1ml of FFJMD (oral route) was subjected for the evaluation as acute (1day) and chronic treatment (10days). Imipramine (10mg/kg oral) was used as standard in all the models of animals and parameters estimated includes estimation of biochemical parameter (mono amino oxidase). Results: Both the lower (0.5ml) and higher dose (1ml) of Malus domestica fresh fruit juice showed dose dependent significant decrease in depression. In acute and chronic forced swim test as well as acute tail suspension test, duration of immobility was significantly reduced in the FFJMD 1 ml and 0.5 ml treated group but the effectiveness was found more in FFJMD 1 ml. In hole board test there is increase in activity with FFJMD 0.5 ml and 1 ml treated groups and increase in biochemical parameter such as mono amino oxidase when compared with depressive control. The antidepressant activity of 1 ml was comparable to that of Imipramine 10 mg/kg. Conclusion:The present study suggests that fresh fruit juice of Malus domestica has antidepressant activity in both the doses but more beneficial effect was found in chronic administration at 1 ml. It would be advisable to encourage consumption of Malus domestica extract in patients with depression because of its nutritional and functional properties.

Face detection method using OpenCV

Currently, the OpenCV function library is being used and becoming more common and used in digital images Processing to solve some image processing problems which can improve image processing efficiency. it is a computer vision method that helps to find and visualize the faces in digital images view. This method is a special use in the case for object detection methods that process instances of semantic objects that detect certain classes (for example, people, buildings, or cars, etc.) in digital images and video. this technology plays an important role in Improve the recognition rate of face recognition systems in noise environment and curse Communicate with others. In this research paper, we discussed the use of face detection method in classrooms for attendance as well as for safety, security reasons and method of the detection faces which can adopt the relative positions of every specific face present in the classroom. The experiments show that this method can quickly and efficiently extract the face region, and improve the face segmentation precisely.

Comparative study of multi-storey multi-span buildings by PEB and CSB concept

Pre Engineered Buildings (PEB) are steel structures which are prefabricated and build in a very short period of time.PEB has its origin in the 1960s, but these are widely in practice in almost all parts of the world during recent years. Construction of steel buildings and the steel industries are rapidly growing in India as well as other parts of the world. For the construction of the industrial shed, residential buildings and commercial complex, Conventional steel building concept are commonly in practice. PEB concept is also simple and can be easily adopted and used extensively for the construction of Industrial, Residential and Commercial Buildings. The adoptability of PEB in the place of CSB design concept resulted in many advantages, including light weight structures, economical and easier fabrication process. For the construction of CSB, hot rolled sections are used which have uniform cross-section throughout the length, whereas in the construction of PEB steel sections, which are tailored and profiled based on the required loading effects are used. The concept includes the technique of providing the best possible section according to the optimum requirement. Due to lack of awareness and confidence in the design and execution of PEB buildings, still, it is not the first choice of owner and designer in India. The present work involves the comparative study of PEB and CSB Concept for a multi-story building. This is achieved by analyzing and designing G+4, G+2 and G+1 commercial building with length 140m, width 40m, eave height 18m,12m, and 9m respectively R slope 1/10 using STADD PRO and IS 800-2007 Design code, by both concepts.

Review Paper

Role of management representatives in academic and administrative audit

The management which is primarily responsible for the proper governance and efficient leadership can ultimately bring quality enhancement in the field of Higher Education. Academic and Administrative Audit is one step further in this regard. Academic and Administrative Audit is not only going to make an internal and external assessment of the institution but also is bound to work over the weaknesses and limitations of the institution. The academic, administrative, curricular and extra-curricular activities carried out by the faculty need to be assessed by an internal committee as well as by the external academicians so as to provide valuable suggestions to boost the confidence of the faculty. The purpose of Academic and Administrative Audit is to evaluate the performance of the institutional departments, appreciate their achievements and give valuable suggestions for enhancing the quality of teaching, research, administration, extra-curricular activities, etc.

Optimization of input factors of EDM using Taguchi ANOVA and genetic algorithm for machining of Aluminum 6061 Alloy

Abstract EDM is an electro-thermal method, where electrical energy is used to produce electrical spark & volume loss chiefly take place as a result of thermal energy of spark. Objective of current work is to investigate impact of input factors such as peak-current (IP), pulse-on-time(Ton) and pulse-off-time (Toff ) on die-sinking EDM responses such as material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR) and surface roughness(Ra) on aluminum 6061 alloy hole drilling process with copper electrode and kerosene dielectric fluid. Selected orthogonal-array was L9 in three levels. The employed methodology was Taguchi-method, analysis-of-variance for single-objective optimization by Minitab software and genetic algorithm for multi-objective optimization using Mat-lab software with varies population size. Influence of peak-current was the most significant factor to MRR, TWR, and Ra of Aluminum 6061 machining. The optimum value for single-objective and multi-objective-optimization was selected.

Language learning strategies employed by successful year 4 primary schools pupils in Shah Alam

Research on language learning strategies has been conducted in Malaysia as well. However, these studies did not include the language learning strategies employed by the successful primary school pupils in Shah Alam. The aim of the study is to identify language learning strategies employed by successful Year 4 primary school pupils in Shah Alam. A total of 30 Year 4 pupils who are 10 years old were chosen from a primary school located in the industrial area in Shah Alam, Selangor by using the purposive sampling method. Data was collected using a quantitative method approach. The instrument used in this study is a questionnaire with 35 items which is adapted from the Language Strategy Use Survey by Oxford and Chi, 2004 and also Gursoy, 2003. Collected data were analyzed using the descriptive approach. The findings portrayed that vocabulary enhancement strategy is employed mostly by the pupils compared to other learning strategies. The implication of this study may benefit ESL teachers, learners, and other researchers to enhance the effectiveness of English language teaching.
