This study investigates the statistical relationship between various climatic factors and overall flower and boll production. Also, the relationship between climatic factors and production of flowers and bolls obtained during the development periods of the flowering and boll stage. Further, predicting effects of climatic factors during different convenient intervals (in days) on cotton flower and boll production compared with daily observations. Furthermore, collects information about the nature of the relationship between various climatic factors and cotton boll development and the 15-day period both prior to and after initiation of individual bolls. And, provide information on the effect of various climatic factors and soil moisture status during the development stage on flower and boll production in cotton. Evaporation, sunshine duration, relative humidity, surface soil temperature at 1800 h, and maximum air temperature, are the important climatic factors that significantly affect flower and boll production. The five-day interval was found to be more adequately and sensibly related to yield parameters. Evaporation; minimum humidity and sunshine duration were the most effective climatic factors during preceding and succeeding periods on boll production and retention. There was a negative correlation between flower and boll production and either evaporation or sunshine duration, while that correlation with minimum relative humidity was positive.

The demand of electrical power is increasing day by day for households, agricultural, commercial, industry sectors etc. This paper is developed in order to maintain that electrical power required by these sectors, as in an electrical system, due to line to ground (L-G), line to line fault (L-L), three lines (LLL) various fault occurs. In this paper it has been discussed how to overcome this problem and for this a system is built, which has an auto reclosing mechanism of disconnecting the supply to avoid large scale damage to the control gears, load or manpower in the grid sub-stations. In this way a tripping mechanism is made in order to curb temporary and permanent faults.

The study was conducted on Characterization of Indigenous Goats Type Using Morphological Characters and Body Measurements in Sinana district, Bale zone, South East Ethiopia, with objectives of on-farm characterization of Indigenous Goats type using linear body measurement and qualitative physical characteristics and investigating the prediction of live weight using body measurement for Indigenous Goats type. For this study, purposive sampling and simple random sampling methods were used for selection of kebeles and experimental goats, respectively. About 120 animals were sampled for body measurements and qualitative characters. Statistical analysis system software was applied for analyzing of data. Goats type in the study area were characterized as red dominant coat color (35.83%), concave head profile (37.5%), no wattle (100%), have no toggles (86.67%), have no ruff (75%),horned (100%) of about (75%) were straight horn shape. The strong correlation between body weight and linear body measurement is observed between body weight and chest girth with correlation coefficient of (r=0.78). Overall mean of body weight, body length, chest girth, height at wither, rump height, rump length, head length, and ear length were 25 kg, 59.02 cm, 74.99 cm, 61.64 cm, 66.65 cm, 14.72 cm, 11.20 cm 12.72 cm and 25.08 cm, respectively. Body weight of goats were easily estimated from heart girth with equation of BW= -3.36+0.38HG as under field condition addition of more variable in the model is not economical.

Recreational use of inland and marine waters is increasing in many countries. It is estimated that foreign and local tourists together spend many days annually at coastal recreational resorts. Swimming is considered to be a healthy leisure activity for both the young and old. Swimming is even advised as the most appropriate sport for asthmatic children, mainly on the grounds that inhaling moist air is less conducive to triggering exercise-induced asthma. Swimming pools may be supplied with fresh, marine or thermal water. Swimming pools may be located indoors, outdoors or both; they may be heated or unheated. Swimming pools can be categorized as public, semi-public, and residential pools. A quality of swimming water takes into account physical, chemical and microbiological quality information and shall be maintained these water quality standards at all times. Pool water clarity must be maintained in a clean, clear condition so that a 150 mm diameter matt contrasts with the color of the bottom of the swimming pool, is clearly visible when viewed through the pool water at the deepest part of the swimming pool. There must have a minimum chemical criterion by which a swimming pool should be operated to minimize health risks to bathers to acceptable levels. The microbiological quality of water must not present risk to the health of bathers. A variety of microorganisms can be found in swimming pools, which may be introduced in the pool water in a number of ways. In many cases, the risk of illness or infection has been linked to fecal contamination of the water, due to feces released by bathers or contaminated source water or, in outdoor pools, may be the result of direct animal contamination. If swimming pool is not managed properly, bathers acquire bacterial, viral, parasitological and fungal infection. To minimize/avoid these risks of infection a variety of disinfection techniques are used. Disinfection methods include filtration to remove pollutants, disinfection to kil

Introduction: Pellet gunshot injuries occur quite frequently, especially among teenagers. Although conservative approaches to treatment are broadly accepted, such measures should account for any potential ramifications for the surrounding organs or other structures. Migration, infection, and limitation of proper functioning are hazards that should be weighed when evaluating the need for further steps. Case presentation: We report the case of a 25-year-old male, presented to our emergency department a few hours after incurring an airgun shot in the region of his right knee. Clinical examinations and a radiological assessment revealed the pellet to have struck in an extra-articular location, and indicated that the patient would be able to tolerate the injury with mild painkillers. However, after a few weeks the patient was experiencing limitations in joint movement, though the location of the pellet had not changed. This prompted major concern about the correct clinical pathway to follow in such cases – especially for patients who are athletes. Conclusion: Injury management for small pellet gunshots should not be as generalised as it is in the conservative approach. More individualised decision-making is required.

Indian roads in medium size cities have witnessed large number of two wheeler users in the recent years. It is observed that their volume varies according to the prevailing weather conditions. Although efficient mode selection in inclement weather conditions is an important issue for the convenience of commuters, their socioeconomic condition is a major governing factor for modal shift. The study aims to understand the relationship of socioeconomic status with mode change in inclement weather conditions with respect to work trips of two wheeler users. It also tries to understand the importance of affordability, comfort, trip duration, reliability and maneuverability across different socioeconomic classes.

This paper investigates the feasibility of multiuser parallel transmission by sub-array beamforming using millimeter wave bands in which the Line-of-Sight (LoS) dominant channel environment is expected. Focusing on high beamforming gain provided by the massive antenna array, each sub-array conducts first eigenmode transmission and thus one stream is allocated per user without null steering. This paper also proposes 1-tap time domain beamforming (TDBF) as the same weight is applied to all frequency components. It reduces computation complexity as well as suppressing the effect of additive noise on weight derivation. Computer simulation results show that increasing the subarray spacing stably improves signal-to-interference power ratio (SIR) performance and that the proposed 1-tap TDBF can match the performance of the frequency domain first eigenmode transmission as a rigorous solution.

A case of ESRD on HD who is referred for placement of tunnel hemodialysis catheter insertion because his arterialvenous fistula is still immature to be used for HD. He had had 3 TDC placed in the right IJ on previous occasions. His angiogram revealed stenosis of the internal jugular vein at its junction with subclavian vein. After 3 failed attempts at right internal jugular vein cannulation the Supraclavicular approach of the SCV cannulation was achieved with ease overcoming the stenosis in the right internal jugular vein. The case is 68 years Caucasian male with end stage renal disease secondary to renal cell carcinoma and hypertension. He had three tunnel hemodialysis catheters (TDC) placed in the right internal jugular vein and failed radialcephalic arterial-venous fistula in the left forearm. He had recently placed brachial-cephalic AVF in the left arm which was not matured to be used in HD. He was referred to the Dialysis Access Center of Pittsburgh, PA for placement of right internal jugular vein tunneled hemodialysis catheter. Three attempts were made to place TDC in the right IJ vein were without avail due to stenosis in the origin of the right IJ at its junction with the sub-clavian vein as illustrated in the angiogram. A decision was made to place the TDC using the supra-clavicular approach as described below to overcome the stenosis in the right IJ. The procedure was accomplished without difficulty using the ultra-sound- guided cannulation of the subclavian vein and the supra-clavicular approach. Supraclavicular placement of tunnel dialysis catheter is easy and safe method to overcome stenosis in the internal jugular vein.

Volumetric changes in the active drilling fluid system during drilling operation are commonly termed borehole ballooning or breathing. One of the borehole ballooning contributors is the elastic deformation of an open borehole wall. When the elastic deformation of the open borehole wall occurs, it causes a volumetric change in the active drilling fluid volume in the system; the change in volume will be variable depending on the well in question and occurs frequently. Prediction of the volumetric change is highly complex, simply because huge number of complicated equations involved. Therefore, the use of the computer is necessary to reduce the process time and improve the prediction accuracy. Hence, Standalone software has been developed (built on Matlab) in order to estimate and quantify the volumetric change of the active drilling fluid system. The main objective of the presented Standalone software is to utilize the existing in situ principal stresses gradients, pore pressure gradient and rock geomechanical properties in order to compute the change in borehole volume for different flow rates. Moreover, it indicates any possible changes might occur to the equivalent circulating density within the referred system. The core of the presented Standalone software are two analytical formulas, which initially are used to estimate the radial elastic displacement for any point along the open borehole wall, which in turn will be utilized to quantify the volumetric change of the drilling fluid system for the entire open borehole section. The complete governing equations of the developed software are provided and described in detail. In order to examine the functionality of the software, two case studies have been performed using the developed software, several scenarios were assumed for both cases. The base scenario was defined to use the actual well
