Evaluation of Peak Expiratory Flow Rate and Forced Expiratory Volume in Indian Children with Suspected Asthma
The study was aimed to compare FEV1 &PEFR measurements in suspected asthmatic patient, to determine whether PEFR is also sensitive enough for challenge test in children with suspected asthma, and to study FEV1 or PEFR or both will be helpful in diagnosing asthma. Study was performed on 50 suspected childhood asthmatic (H/o episodic cough & wheeze)referred from paedriatic OPD ; aged 5-14 yr both male and female through Simple Random sampling .Test procedure was explained ,consent taken, performance of FEV1 and PEFR through PFT and peak flow master recorded. Subjects with FEV1 >80% predicted with no increase in symptoms (n=50) directly underwent exercise challenge test in form of spot jogging double the pulse rate, FEV1<80% predicted with increased symptoms (n=0) were given salbutamol inhalation before exercise challenge test. Post test spirometry and peak flow master values recorded. Statistical Software EPI INFO, version 3.4.3, paired “t” test, unpaired “t” test were with 0.05 as level of significance used, there was a good correlation found between FEV1 Pretest vs. PEFR Pretest, FEV1 Post test vs. PEFR Post test, Pretest PEFR (master) vs. Pretest PEFR (PFT), Post test PEFR (master) vs. Post test PEFR (PFT).Comparing PEFR measurement obtained through spirometer and peak flow meter was 0.04 which is significant. Hence concluded that PEFR is sensitive to air flow, PEFR master can be a tool in measuring lung function. PEFR master could be alternatively used in place where spirometer cannot be carried

Water Scarcity and Rain Harvesting Method- A Case Study of Diphu Town, Assam India
Water is the basic need for the all the living things in different ways including the ecosystem in which we are all part of. The importance of water is well known. Water is our most precious natural resources. Its uses are innumerable and its importance cannot be underestimated. Its role ranges from domestic uses, agricultural and industry to religious, recreation, landscape decoration and even therapy. Water is basic to life. Due to the growing population over the decades, millions of people worldwide suffer from the lack of water especially in the urban areas where population concentration is very high. Because of this the demand of water is very high with overuse of ground water resulted in a drop in water table levels and have made the cost of water is high. It is found that rain harvesting, the collection of rain water from surfaces upon which it falls, is a long standing practice of many countries still use as a means for dealing with water problems of today. Rain is harvested in many ways and it is vital supplementary source of water. Diphu is the hilly town, the district headquarter of Karbi Anglong district, Assam, in the north eastern state part of India. The largest administrative district with over population of 61000. Located at an altitude of 186 m (610 ft) has suffered acute water problems, the mismanagement of the town committee, lack of proper knowledge on ground water potential areas has led the people suffered silently , pay a huge sum of money to buy a tank of water. This paper tries to attempt to understand the water scarcity problem’s as well the reason and the rainwater harvesting method practice by the local people. Keywords: water, scarcity, rain harvesting, population increase;

One Time Password Generation from Retinal Images
Authentication is process in which right user will be given access to resource. Authentication protects resource to access from unauthorised user. There various traditional techniques are available for authentication. But these techniques have disadvantages. To overcome this disadvantages multi-factor authentication is used for authentication. In multi-factor authentication more than one authentication method is combined to perform authentication. One form of authentication that is mostly used with other forms of authentication for multifactor authentication is one time password (OTP). One time password is valid for one login session. In this paper we conduct survey of existing one time password generation methods.

Association of Lower Extremity Biomechanical Factors with Pain Severity in Individuals with Patello-Femoral Pain Syndrome
There is a significant risk of pain when undertaking physical activities. Abnormal biomechanics of the lower limb has been implicated as a causative factor for pain. Although there have been a large number of studies in this field, many lack consistency of definitions and methodology. A large number of these studies have been retrospective, and it is often impossible to identify the baseline population. The evidence suggests that limitation of range of ankle dorsiflexion, limitation of range of hip eversion, excessive joint laxity, leg length discrepancy, an excessively supinated or pronated foot, excessively high or low arches of the foot and a large Q-angle are risk factors for pain. On the other hand, there is little convincing evidence that an abnormal range of ankle plantar flexion, genu varum or valgum or undue muscle tightness may be potential risk factors. All of these biomechanical abnormalities need further evaluation as potential risk factors for pain. Any trials undertaken must endeavour to define and describe their methods fully, and ensure that their results are reproducible.

A Conceptual View to Empower Medical Gadgets by Harvesting Energy using TEG
A 16-bit MSP430 controller version with an android app is uniquely intended for an incessant E-diagnosis system for remote patients, from their home to corresponding doctors and care takers. Existing framework running on GSM and wired link to exchange data between patients and doctor have its own particular confinement, for instance consistent upkeep, transportation, and dedicated care taker, which is costing more to the family members of the patient. It will be implemented by building up a framework which gets power from TEG module attached to patient and stores that same into battery banks with low bandwidth, which must play all the procedure without human interference and must carry out the work which current system is doing. Put away power will be utilized by controller to screen heart rate, temperature, and blood pressure and transmit SoS information utilizing Wi-Fi with CoAp architecture uncommonly intended for low bandwidth link. Essential block comprises of control unit, sensory, communication, power generation and conversion for adaptable and unending operation

Caste, Class and Migration
Caste, class, and Migration Dr.Om Prakash Manjhi PhD in sociology (IGNOU) Email:manjhisoc@gmail.com Mobile No. 9911123484, 8800321680 Abstract India has the multicultural country. Diversity is the identity of this country, the social structure of Indian society different from other countries. Hindu, Muslim, Sikhs, Christian, Parsi community have lived there. Every society in India has classified into caste and class, both places rural and urban areas. The case of affirmative action for the untouchable or Dalits, in India, can be made both on account of historical deprivations as well as on grounds of persistent disparity and continuining discrimination . Affirmative action can be and is, viewed as a program of compensation for historical injustice and very few would argue with the contention that historically, Dalits suffered deep injustice, disparity, deprivation and discrimination .However, the case of affirmative action on grounds of contemporary disparities and discrimination is highly contentious. The case for caste based affirmative action in India caste based discrimination in labor, land, capital and consumer goods markets continued both urban and rural areas .Dr B. R. Ambedkar, an outstanding theoretician and one of the most important leaders of the Dalit movement drafted the constitution of India .Making affirmative for SC and ST as part of the constitution a move largely due to Ambedkar, ensured that it is mandatory and can not be questioned in theory. The recent upsurge in the cases of atrocities on scheduled castes and incidents of caste violence has per turned the entire socio-political ambience of the Indian society. The figure of atrocity on scheduled caste over the years has shown upward trend. They have suffered not only from economic exploitation but also from social discrimination. The situation has become worse than before because of the migration of population under economic pressure. This paper uses field study data from sample of migrants living area explore changes rural –urban continuum related to caste, class issue. Migration being an important contributory factor. It is also concern with issue raise from the caste and class conflicts. Caste and class violence in rural area. In addition to these causes, wide spread unemployment, underdevelopment, poverty the continuing feudal order and growing cases of corruption among local politicians and bureaucrats combined with socio-political and economic disparities among the upper, middle and scheduled caste have added new dimensions of the problem of naxal violence. The core question of this paper is that’’ Is government making affirmative action being implemented now and through this social changes has been seen in our society?’’ Key words: Affirmative action, Discrimination, Atrocity, Migration, Rural-urban continuum, Dalit movement,

Emerging Issues and Challenges in Banking and Financial Services on Indian Economy- Post Demonetization
The Government of India announced the demonetization of all Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 paper money of the Mahatma Gandhi Series On 8 November 2016,. The government claim that the action would stop the shadow (process of people making, selling, and buying things) and crack down on the use of illegal and (make fake money or goods) cash to fund illegal activity and terrorism. The sudden nature of the announcement and the lengthy cash shortages in the weeks that followed has created noteworthy disruption throughout the (process of people making, selling, and buying things), threatening money-based output. The move was heavily criticized as poorly planned and unfair, and was met with protests, lawsuits, and strikes. The purpose of this paper is to describe the changes that are happening in Indian Banking and related to managing money part/area as a hit/effect of demonetization. In trying to (ask lots of questions about/try to find the truth about) factors which may account for never-before-seen change, this study raises the pro's and con's of currency demonetization in different (related to managing money) Banking parts/areas. Data were collected through surveys that were mailed out to no. of people (who were part of a study, etc.) in Hyderabad. People (who were part of a study, etc.) in the study completed the survey (without revealing his/her name) and filled out a separate permission-related form. People who responded have appointments in a variety of departments, including Banking, Finance, Capital markets and Insurance parts/areas. People who responded were from variety of (related to managing money) Institutions from both private and public institutions, the majority being research oriented. To protect the (not knowing or telling someone's name) of the people who responded, we are not capable to list the institutions here or to further identify them. Secondary Data is collected from Internet and Newspapers. With the centre's decision to throw out/cancel old currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 on November 8, 2016, the (related to managing money) part/area is now supporting structure itself to deal with the move's hit/effect. Experts say that it is a good move as it will bring more formal money in the (related to managing money) part/area.

Modified Solar Thermal Cavity Receivers for Parabolic Concentrating Collector : Review
In India, we receive almost 80% of continuous solar radiation yearly. In order to make maximum use of this solar insolation, there are various solar thermal technologies of which one is concentrating solar power (CSP). Solar cavity receivers are more efficient technology as compared to solar trough technology. However, due to the complex design and losses in heat transfer in the form of convection, solar cavity systems have fallen behind in the world of alternative energy systems. In order to make cavity receiver technology more efficient various energy losses are to be considered and efforts should be made to minimize them. The parabolic concentrator reflects the direct incident solar radiation onto a receiver mounted above the dish at its focal point. The conversion of concentrated solar radiation to heat takes place in receiver. The heat transfer characteristics of the receiver changes during the rotation of the receiver which affects thermal performance. A heat transfer and flow simulation is performed for different solar cavity receiver’s viz.: cylindrical, cubical, conical, dome and spherical receivers at various receiver inclinations at constant temperature. The receivers are designed such that they have same surface area and aperture. It is observed that convective heat loss decreases as the inclination changes from 0° to 90°. Among these receivers, the convective heat loss for different geometries & different angle of inclinations are studied.
