In this paper, the inversion formula and the continuity of the continuous Bessel wavelet transform of distributions in D L 2 ′ - type space are investigated. For the uniqueness of the inversion formula, the Bessel wavelet kernel of nonvanishing moments is considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The inversion formula of the continuous Bessel wavelet transform of distributions is investigated by exploiting the theory of the Hankel transform. Some auxiliary results related to the inversion formula are also obtained in this paper. Using the theory of inversion formula of continuous Bessel wavelet transform of distributions, the Calderón reproducing formula is developed. The continuous Bessel wavelet transform of distributions through heat equation is discussed and its inversion formula is considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Multiple myeloma (MM) is usually a disease of the elderly and only less than 1% are young individuals below 35 years of age. Central nervous system (CNS) manifestations of MM are even rarer, the most common being leptomeningeal involvement. We report a case of a 35-year-old male who presented with a fever of 3 weeks duration associated with slurring of speech, nasal regurgitation, hearing loss, and decreased urine output. CNS examination showed IX, X, and XII cranial nerve palsies with right otitis media and bilateral mastoiditis with conductive hearing loss. Renal biopsy showed cast nephropathy. The kappa--lambda ratio was 18, with β2 microglobulin measuring 12 mg/L. Bone marrow showed 90% plasma cells, and skeletal survey had bony lytic lesions. He responded well to dexamethasone, bortezomib, and thalidomide. His renal functions returned to normal, and palsies have improved completely. This report shows that MM should be suspected even in young patients with classical features of myeloma and CNS involvement is very rare in MM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Genital wart is one of the most commonly found human mucosal viral infection caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Genital warts can present as papules, plaques or blisters that look like a pink, brown cauliflower, or flesh-coloured mass. The treatment modalities for genital warts that are currently available are focused on eliminating the genital warts growth instead of addressing and controlling the underlying HPV infection. A little evidence has been provided regarding the existing treatment modalities in terms of their effectiveness in eliminating genital warts in the long term or that they have a key role in the prevention and development of malignant genital warts. Moreover, the treatment modalities that are currently used are different in terms of price, side effects, dosing regimen, treatment duration, and efficiency for managing genital warts. However, it is important to consider that the treatment modalities are often tailored to each patient depending on the level of HPV spread, areas that have been infected, and other comorbid chronic diseases.

The present paper highlighted constraints in management practices being perceived by Tharparker cattle rearers in Western Rajasthan where the large herds of Tharparkar breed are found. The study was conducted in four tehsils of Jaisalmer and Jodhpur districts of Western Rajasthan. A total of 320 Tharparkar cattle rearers were selected from four tehsils for the present study. The study revealed that the first and foremost constraint in management practices of Tharparkar cattle rearing was illiteracy of the Tharparkar cattle rearers on pooled RBQ basis having value 62.42 followed by problem of quack practicing, repeat breeding, farmer's negligence in vaccinating the animals were most serious constraints with RBQ values 62.12, 60.87 and 60.33, respectively. Study further revealed that lack of knowledge about deworming practices, lack of knowledge about milk replacer feeding and high cost of veterinary aid were less serious constraints with RBQ values 54.58, 52.43 and 52.13, respectively in the study area.

In this paper, we define a continuous wavelet transform of a Schwartz tempered distribution f ∈ S ′ (R n) with wavelet kernel ψ ∈ S (R n) and derive the corresponding wavelet inversion formula interpreting convergence in the weak topology of S ′ (R n) . It turns out that the wavelet transform of a constant distribution is zero and our wavelet inversion formula is not true for constant distribution, but it is true for a non-constant distribution which is not equal to the sum of a non-constant distribution with a non-zero constant distribution.

The present investigation was conducted to find out the socio-economic status and various calf rearing management practices adopted by cattle keepers of Western Rajasthan. 320 respondents from Barmer and Jalore districts of Western Rajasthan were selected. It was found that only 54.69 per cent of respondents were literate.69.06 per cent of the respondents had small herd size while 60 per cent of respondents had small land holding.Regarding calf management practices, 89.06 per cent of the respondents cleaned and trimmed hooves of the calf after birth. Majority of the respondents did not cut naval cord of calf. It was found that 53.13 per cent of the respondents allowed suckling calf up to 6 month and 95 per cent of cattle keepers were not performing de-worming of calves.It was concluded that cattle keepers of Western Rajasthan were not well aware about importance of improved calf-rearing management practices.

Particulate matter concentrations were measured in an industrial region in the Ganjam district of Odisha. The average levels of suspended particulate matter (SPM) were measured to be 142 ± 8 and PM10of particulate matter with a size of less than 10 micrometers (PM10) to be 50 ± 15 μg m−3. Out of the 14 elements determined, Ca, Na, Mg, Fe, and K contributed more than 95% of the total weight. In enrichment factors, the trace elements, i.e., Zn, Pb, Cd, and Hg were observed to be highly enriched in the SPM and PM10. Factor analysis indicates that more than 75% of the variance was due to five component factors, which have eigenvalues greater than 1. Intake of elements through inhalation route to adults has been estimated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Novel ruthenium complexes [Ru(L1)(NO)Cl2] (1), [Ru(L2)(PPh3)Cl2] (2), [Ru(L2)(PPh3)(NO2)Cl] (3) and [Ru(L2)(PPh3)(NO)Cl](ClO4)2 (4) (where L1H = N′-phenyl-N′-(pyridin-2-yl)picolinohydrazide and L2 = (1-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-2-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)hydrazine) were synthesized. These complexes were characterized by using IR, UV-Vis, elemental analysis, electrochemical and NMR spectral studies. The molecular structures of nitrosyl complexes 1 and 4 were determined by X-ray crystallographic studies. Complexes 1 and 4 readily released NO under visible and ultraviolet light and free NO was transferred to reduced myoglobin. The amount of photoreleased NO was estimated using Griess reagent assay. During photolysis of NO, the generation of reactive nitrogen or/and reactive oxygen species was determined by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazine) radical quenching studies under aerobic conditions. A paramagnetic complex [Ru(L2)(PPh3)(NO)Cl](NO3)3 (5) was synthesized via chemical oxidation of 4 with an excess of ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) in acetonitrile. Complex 5 was characterized by UV-Vis, IR, elemental analysis and EPR spectral studies which authenticated the presence of the {RuNO}5 moiety in 5. Theoretical investigation by DFT calculation supported the oxidation of complex 4 having {RuNO}6 species and the formation of 5 containing {RuNO}5. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
