Air-oil separator is used to recover oil from the air leaving the compressor. The air-oil separator design is based on the minimum diameter of capturing oil droplet and the separation efficiency of the separator. The available air-oil separators are Cyclone, Labyrinth, wire and oil filter. In this work cyclone separator is proposed due to its higher separation efficiency for wide range of droplet size. The proposed model C1 to C6 is analysed using CFD tool and maximum separation efficiency is obtained for C4 model and minimum residence time and static pressure is obtained for C3 model. It is concluded that C3 model is finalized model due to least residence time and back pressure with acceptable separation efficiency.

The Sangha literatures realistically recorded the living conditions of the Palandamis. These are divided into internal and external by prioritizing male and female love and highlighting individual personality. Also in the Sangha literature, it was divided into four parts, namely, time, soil and life. They are Kurinji, Mullai, Marutham, Neithal etc. Each department is set up with a defined lifestyle and culture. Among these are weavings that record coastal life. The region has also been the origin of coastal trade. The research summary of this article is to reveal the biographical records of the people who lived in this land.

Literature is a mirror of time, and ‘time’ refers to the ‘biography’ of the people who comprise it. A great literary artist uses literature for such social developmental purposes. He articulates the people and events he sees in the society in which he lives, along with his thinking. There is no other literary genre that can take human life as it is, like the short story that satisfies the artist's thoughts. Thus the earthly land of Nanjil was born in the affluent part of the country and the life of the mothers seemed to be like a paradise. This article's a summary of the study's exploration of how the biological patterns of life are situated for the people of the land of Karisal, and the optimal solution to the problems posed by socio-economic change and upheaval.

Children with medical complexity (CMC) have extremely high health care needs. Given their chronic complex diagnoses and involvement of multiple care providers, they are often over medicalized and seen as a list of diagnoses rather than as a child. Parents of CMC are extraordinary caregivers and advocates for their children. Parental values and perspectives are critical drivers of medical decision making, therefore highlighting the importance of collaboration between all members of the medical team. For health care providers (HCPs) to holistically guide and support families, an all encompassing, big picture understanding of CMC and their family is needed, and care maps are one such vehicle to provide this insight. Care maps are a parent-created tool that can be used to provide a holistic view of the child and demonstrate the complexity of life and interrelatedness of services for CMC. Previous research has shown that care maps have been used as a resource to promote parental reflection and identify parental priorities of care. Promotion of care maps by HCPs as a valuable tool in understanding the child and family’s goals may help improve holistic understanding and promote collaborative care.

Background and objective:Ventricular premature complexes (VPCs) are the most common arrhythmia encountered in cardiology OPD. Patients with frequent VPCs are often symptomatic. Our study aims to identify the ECG predictors of symptoms in patients with idiopathic VPCs in 24 hours Holter monitoring. Subjects and methods: This study was conducted on 102 patients with VPCs during the period of February 2019 to December 2019 in cardiology OPD of our centre.All the patients were screened with transthoracic echocardiography.24 hours Holter monitoring was done, the measured parameters were QRS width (Both in sinus beat & VPC), coupling interval (CI),CI ratio (CL/sinus cycle length) and VPC burden (Number and percentage of VPCs per day). Results:Both group had similar categorical age group and gender.ORS width of both sinus beat (P = 0.389) and VPCs (P = 0.035), VPC CI (P=0.487) and VPC burden (P = 0.458) did not correlate with symptoms but VPC CI ratio were significantly higher in Group B(symptomatic) than in group A (P = 0.004) Conclusion:There is a relationship between VPC related symptoms and VPC CI ratio.

Passenger lymphocyte syndrome (PLS) is a less known etiology of acute onset anemia following ABO-compatible (ABO-c) liver transplantation (LT). Available literature on PLS after pediatric LT is limited. Therefore, we evaluated the prevalence, clinical course, and risk factors of PLS in children following ABO-c LT.A single-center retrospective review of all children who underwent LT between 2000 and 2017 was performed. PLS was defined as a drop-in hemoglobin20 g/L within 30 days of LT, with positive direct antiglobulin test and 1 laboratory test confirming hemolysis. Chi square and student t tests compared variables between subjects with and without PLS.Amongst 333 pediatric LT performed, 51 children received an ABO-c graft. PLS was diagnosed in 7 (14%) subjects at a median of 10 days after LT. There were no significant differences in patient demographics, graft type, or immunosuppression between those who did and did not develop PLS. Recipient blood group A+ receiving a donor O+ graft was a risk factor for PLS (P = 0.015). All PLS subjects recovered with blood transfusions (median 2), and no additional interventions. Three subjects initially received recipient (instead of donor) blood group red cells.We report a 14% prevalence of PLS following pediatric ABO-c LT. Recipient blood group A+ receiving a donor O+ graft is a risk factor for PLS. Recognition of PLS as a cause of early acute anemia in pediatric ABO-c LT enables timely transfusion with donor (rather than recipient) blood group red cells.

In the present study Silver nanoparticles were synthesized from aqueous seaweed extract of seaweeds such as of green Halimeda macroloba, brown Turbinaria conoides, and red Spyridia filamentosa and characterized by UV-Vis, FTIR, EDX, XRD and SEM. Characterization by the above said instrument analysis confirmed the presence,size and stability of silver nanoparticles.After characterization, the silver nanoparticles were tested at 25μg-ml,50μg-ml,75μg-ml and 100μg-ml concentrations to check the bactericidal activity against selected two poultry bacterial pathogens. We observed that, if the concentration of seaweed nanoparticle increases, the zone of inhibition also get increased in all the tested two bacterial pathogens against streptomycin as control and result suggested the potential use of seaweed synthesized silver nanoparticles against other pathogens.

Background: Childhood TB constitutes 10-20% of all TB cases in high burden countries like India and accounting for 8-20% of TB related deaths. Diagnosis of TB in children is difficult. One test, CBNAAT which was recently endorsed by WHO has the potential to lead a revolution in diagnosis of active TB disease.Methods: A cross sectional study in SCB MCH and SVPPGIP, Cuttack in all the suspected TB patients admitted during the period from January 2016 to October 2017.Results: A total of 100 suspicious patients admitted to the Department of Pediatrics in SCB MCH and SVPPGIP during the study period. Of these 45 were diagnosed TB and rest others were diagnosed otherwise than TB. Diagnosis of TB was established on basis of Microscopy, CBNAAT, culture, biochemistry, cytology, clinical findings, neuroimaging, FNAC/biopsy, USG abdomen. Out of 45 TB patients 30 were CBNAAT positive taking the body fluid samples other than blood, urine and stool with a sensitivity of 66.7% and specificity of 100%. Out of 45 TB patients 14 were having ZN Smear positive taking the same fluid sample with a sensitivity of 31.1% and specificity of 100%. Whereas out of these 45 TB patients 32 were MGIT culture positive taking the same sample with a sensitivity of 71.1% and specificity of 100%. When diagnostic performances of CBNAAT and MGIT culture were compared, it was found to be statistically insignificant with a P value 0.54.Conclusions: The CBNAAT is able to confirm a diagnosis of TB with 66.7% sensitivity and 100% specificity within 2 hours. We can use CBNAAT as a diagnostic method as it provides rapid result and simultaneous better sensitive result, it can be helpful in starting ATT in sick patients and also in outdoor patients.

This paper describes some noise reduction techniques and EMI control for a high frequency telecommunication system which operates on an internal clock frequency between 20 MHz and 100 MHz. Various power distribution techniques, signal and clock distribution and grounding structures were tried. Methods giving better results are described. These if implemented in the early design stage save substantial design time and effort. The authors discuss an SDH optical fibre based synchronous multiplexer in particular.
