Cloud cost management: An empirical view

Cloud computing provides a mechanism to access, store and retrieve the applications and data online. The word cloud refers to a network or the internet. Nowadays, many IT Companies are adopting Cloud Computing. In Cloud, computing resources are made available to the users easily, quickly and on a pay-per usage basis. In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyze the cost involved in accessing the paid services of cloud and show how the service broker policy of retrieving data from the closest datacenter and retrieving data after optimized response time of the datacenters. After a close analysis, we find that retrieving data from the nearest datacenter is more cost effective than optimized response time data retrieval of data from datacenters.

Therapeutic strategies for vaginal and sexual health promotion in cervical cancer survivors: An overview of practice at the Tertiary Cancer Hospital in Mumbai

Cervical cancer survivors treated with radiotherapy alone or as a part of combined therapy have reported higher occurrence of vaginal morbidity. Vaginal stenosis and dryness are the common vaginal symptoms which tend to persist following radiotherapy treatment. Vaginal dilation with dilator and sexual counselling is routine practice to preserve vaginal patency and to facilitate sexual functioning and gynaecological surveillance. A retrospective review of case files of cervical cancer patients referred for vaginal dilation to Occupational therapy during 2002-2010 was carried out with the aim to understand the therapeutic strategies practiced for improving vaginal and sexual health following pelvic radiotherapy at the tertiary cancer hospital in Mumbai. Data of 183 cervical cancer patients which met the study criteria, was collected with reference to the stage of the disease, treatment received, details about vaginal dilation following radiotherapy, and sexual status and side effects related to dilation. Review found that vaginal dilation with dilator was routinely recommended to cervical cancer patients following completion of radiotherapy. Resumption of sexual intercourse and sexual counselling was provided to married patients for prevention of vaginal stenosis and preserving sexual functions. Documentation on the content of sexual counselling and the time spent on counselling was found absent. This review of case files found vaginal dilation with dilator post pelvic radiotherapy is effective in preventing vaginal stenosis and sexual intercourse cannot be used as a sole medium of dilation. Dilation with dilator improved vaginal length from 8.02 cm+ 2.9 to 9.96+ 2.89cm with the p value <0.001. ords.

Smart steering in automobiles for safe driving

Automobiles have been an integral part of the modernization and development of civilization. Right from the beginning of the industrial revolution, there were a huge number of automobiles manufactured. This called in for the need for safety measures to be implemented into the vehicle for protection of the passenger in case of accidents. Various safety measures were implemented in this domain, such as functions like Seat belt, Anti-lock Braking System, Safety Airbag System and many more. The accident toll continued to increase over the years despite these safety measures. These accidents were caused by human negligence such as drunken driving, drowsiness, unhealthy condition and a lot more. This paper, hence, proposes a system in which the driver cannot drive under the influence of alcohol and also a basic level health condition test to check if the driver is fit to drive. It also has a system that can sense if the driver is sleepy and alerts the driver back to his senses if found sleeping. This can ensure the complete safety of the passenger while driving and can reduce the accidents to almost zero values that are caused by the above mentioned human faults. To add to the safety in case of any accident the system houses a crash detector and flame detector along with GPS and GSM modules to alert the nearby authorities to get to the rescue. As a whole, the system can provide unimaginable safety assurance against fatal accidents and hence save precious life's.

A novel approach for designing smart cane for visually impaired

Usually, visually impaired people use a white cane as their mobility aid along with dogs as their guide. Using technologies to make smart walking cane which will assure safe mobility of the visually impaired person and reduce the energy spent on detecting an obstacle . In this paper, the smart cane is designed which will help a visually impaired person to walk confidently. The proposed project aims at the development of an Android-based Application for smartphones in which customers can connect to a cane. The camera on the cane sends real-time images of the current surroundings and the android application works on each frame to detect upcoming obstacles. The Convolution Neural network models help in the detection of objects using TensorFlow and stores the name of the object in a text file. Later the text in the text file is converted to voice using Google TTS (Text to Speech conversion). Thus using advanced technologies for better living.

Performance assessment of electrode materials in the treatment of leachate by using electrocoagulation process

Leachate is wastewater generated during the decomposition of organic waste that can contaminate soil and groundwater if it is not handled properly. Contamination by leachate can be prevented by reducing the concentration of a pollutant in leachate before the wastewater reaches the ground. Researchers reduce the contamination level by the various method and electrocoagulation is one of the efficient methods for this application. This experimental work was planned to determine the effective pair of the electrode and optimizing the factors which affect the efficiency of electrocoagulation. From the first study, it may be concluded that Iron and Stainless steel pair show higher percentage removal of all the analyzed parameter than the copper and stainless steel pair. Then optimization was carried out with Iron and Stainless steel electrode to analyze the effect of current density, pH, inter-electrode distance, the concentration of electrolyte, electrolysis time and agitation on electrocoagulation. The optimized current density was determined as 60A/m2, electrolysis time was determined as 45 minutes, the inter-electrode distance was determined as 1.5 cm, pH was determined as 7.4, agitation speed was determined as 300 rpm, electrolyte solution was determined as 25% dilution.

VHDL implementation of acquisition sensor for optical communication terminal

This paper presents the development of the Acquisition sensor which is a part of overall Acquisition, Tracking and Pointing (ATP) mechanism for maintaining the line of sight (LOS) between two Optical Communication Terminals (OCT). The ATP mechanism is basically used to align the transmitting and the receiving optical communication terminals which in turn can continuously transmit the data between them. The Acquisition sensor is designed to acquire the LASER image falling on it which is being transmitted by the transmitter terminal and to process this image to calculate the 2-axis angular error. This error is then used to re-position the terminal to maintain the LoS if it is out from the Field of View (FOV) of the transmitter by feeding this data to Tracking and Pointing modules of ATP mechanism.
