Recently Cell Free massive multiple input multiple output (M-MIMO), comprising of large number of distributed access points (APs) is a promising technology in order to provide high data rate, spectral efficiency (SE), and energy efficiency (EE). In order to achieve optimality in the performance of the cell free M-MIMO, a suitable selection technique of AP is performed among large number of AP. In this work, zero-forcing (ZF) and minimum means square error (MMSE) linear precoding are used since it is free from self-interference hence, improving the system sum-rate. The present work proposes a maximum channel gain-based Access Point Selection (APS) algorithm for access point (AP) selection in the Cell free M-MIMO network in order to enhance the system data-rate. Using APS algorithm, it is proposed to select those APs whose channel gain is highest therefore it automatically improves the rate of the system. The same number of users is scheduled using a simple semi-orthogonal user scheduling (SUS) algorithm. We also used a user clustering algorithm for grouping the users around the AP to schedule the best users. It is observed from the results that the APS and SUS algorithm jointly improve the system rate significantly in cell free massive MIMO systems.

The aim of this study was to prepare novel Sodium Alginate (SA) - Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)\nnanofibrous mats of Forskolin (FSK) for ocular delivery to treat the glaucoma. Nanofibers of SA: PVA\n(1:0.25) load with β- cyclodextrin- FSK solid dispersion were successfully prepared by an electrospinning\ntechnique. Prepared nanofibrous mats were evaluated for drug content, scanning electron microscopy,\ndegree of swelling, drug release and In Vivo Intra ocular pressure (IOP) reduction studies. The\nmorphological studies revealed that average diameter of prepare nanofibers was decreased for\nformulations with low polymer concentration. Less diameter and uniform surface was observed for\nformulations F4 and F8 which are prepared under applied voltage 20kV, Capillary tip-to- Collector\ndistance 15cm conditions. From the degree of swelling studies, it was observed that thinner the nanofiber\nmats, the greater the degree of swelling. The burst release within one hour was seen for F1 to F4\nformulations whereas up to 90 min for F5 to F8 formulations. Release kinetic studies revealed that release\nof drug from the Nanofibrous mats have followed zero order kinetics. The results of in vivo IOP reduction\nstudies suggested that FSK loaded Nanofibrous mats formulation (F4) produced a significant and\ncontrolled reduction in IOP throughout 45 h.

Cystic Hygroma is a congenital lymphangiomatous tumour. Cystic hygroma of the tongue may lead to, exclusive nasal breathing, airway obstruction, a dry⁄cracked tongue with ulcerating secondary infections. In this letter, we present a rare case with extensive tongue involvement having a terrifying look

This paper presents a fuzzy controller for direct power control of photovoltaic inverter DC link. This controller capable controls active and reactive powers between the grid and PV instantaneously. This controller has advantages such as simplicity and no need to use complex mathematical equations. To evaluate the performance of the controller, it is compared to conventional PI controller. To evaluate the operation of the controller, a typical 3-phase PV inverter is simulated with MATLAB SIMULINK software and both conventional PI controller and fuzzy controller are implemented. Finally, the effectiveness of fuzzy controller is compared with PI controller using simulation results.

This study estimates gravity model to show the effects of food safety (melamine) issue on dairy sector in China. Results indicate that melamine issue affected milk production, number of livestock, and dairy exports. However, ban on dairy products insignificantly affected exports, because ban was mostly imposed by countries who accounted for a meager share of China’s dairy exports. Per capita economic size, common official language, common border and regional trade arrangements significantly positively affected dairy exports. Exports significantly decrease with increase in dairy production in importing country and if the trading partner is a land locked country.

In this study, the prediction of mineral, physical and mechanical properties of stones was investigated by non-destructive tests using a remote sensing method. Thus, spectral properties of natural stones were examined in a laboratory environment at different wavelengths without giving harm to samples and by isolating them from the external environment, and changes in spectral reflection graphs were compared with changes in physical and mechanical properties of the mineral content. It was observed that there are significant relationships between mechanical and physical properties and reflectance values of samples, and those relationships can be explained with reflectance values between 95%–99%. Reflectance values, which can be explained with different wavelengths according to the mineral content of natural stones, were also measured. Mineral densities as well as mineral contents in natural stones are features used for the classification of natural stones. In consideration of all this information, spectral signatures of natural stones can be used for the prediction of stones that have similar features. Meanwhile, mineral content and significant relationships at different wavelengths can be used as supplementary information for improving predictions.

Pigmented purpuric dermatoses (PPD) are a group of disorders which have histopathologically similar but morphologically different appearance. Purpura annularis telangiectodes of Majocchi (PATM) is a very rare clinical subtype of PPD. \nA 52-years-old man presented with asymptomatic annular and purpuric lesions on the upper legs and inguinal area that had been present for two months. The patient had a history of diclofenac sodium intake ten days before the lesions appeared. The laboratory investigations were within normal limits except hepatitis B antigen positivity. The skin biopsy suggested a diagnosis of PPD. Together with clinical and histopathological appearance, diagnosis of PATM was made. The drug was discontinued and topical corticosteroid was started as a treatment. Partial healing was obtained after 2 weeks of therapy. Because of the possible drug etiology of diclofenac sodium in this rare form of PPD, we intended to represent this case.

Squalene is the precursor of Phytosterols production, and consumption of staple foods rich in Phytosterols is the best strategy to avoid heart diseases. In current investigation seven organically grown staple food crops have been evaluated for production of Squalene on the basis of transcriptional analysis of Squalene Synthase (SS) genes (i.e. SSA, SS1, SS2 and SS3). Results revealed that Malt had the maximum transcription of SS genes, whereas Millet had the least. All the four tested genes were not equally expressed in any crop species. Expression of each gene was also variable in different crop plants. Millet showed the expression of two SS genes simultaneously. Rice and Wheat had three, while Chickpea Black, Chickpea White, Corn and Malt had four SS genes, being transcribed at one time. SSA plays the maximum role in producing Squalene and Phytosterols, while SS1 plays the least. This investigation recommends Malt as the best staple food crop to avoid hyperlipidemia. It also recommends strategies to improve health of human population.
