Electromyogram (EMG) is one among the important biopotential signal reflecting the human skeletal muscle activity. EMG signals can be used for many biomedical applications pertaining to diagnosis and therapy of musculoskeletal and rheumatological problems. EMG signals are complex in nature and require advanced techniques for analysis, such as decomposition, detection, processing, and classification. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose. The musculoskeletal system can be affected by diabetes in a number of ways. The main aim of the paper is to identify the diabetic patient and show the classification performance of the proposed framework. In this paper EMG signal is investigated by feature extraction and are classified into normal and diabetic for comprehension of EMG signal. The primary point of this work is to recognize the diabetes utilizing different elements and to demonstrate the performance of the proposed framework. The obtained results demonstrate that the extracted feature in proposed framework displays better performance for classification the EMG signal contrasted with alternate elements. Based on the impacts of features on the EMG signal classification, different results were obtained through analysis of the SVM Classification. Experimental study shows that the proposed method’s classification accuracy is 98.98%.
This paper assessed the major determinants of consistent condom utilization among female street sex workers in wolaita sodo town of Ethiopia. A cross sectional study design was employed whereby the data collection process was completed from 10 April to 10 may, 2015. Both quantitative and qualitative research approaches were used. Survey and in-depth interview were the data collection instruments. Multivariate logistic regression analysis with crude odds ratio was used. The findings reveled that all respondents have experiences of unsafe sex with clients. Variables such as Age, Educational status, Alcohol and Chat abuse, primary reason to be street sex worker are found to be significantly associated with consistent condom utilization. On top of this, though knowledge of condom and its use seems well known, readiness of their customers to use condom and their interest of prioritizing extra money for sex without condom are also important factors of condom utilization. The fact that almost all of the street sex workers in the town are teen agers, they can be easily deceived to have sex without condom for extra money. Since most join this job because of peer pressure and aspiring good life, they fail to resist offers of extra money for unsafe sex.
The new electrostatic generator that is driven by Asymmetric electrostatic force is a very interesting new idea, because it will continue to generate electricity by an electret without any adding energy. This expectation means that the electric field energy of the electret exists even if the electric energy is changed to a kinetic energy. However, this phenomenon has not yet been confirmed by a real experiment.Therefore, a simple experiment that confirm this phenomenon was performed. As a result, the possibility was recognized by the experiment.

Adolescent must have access to health care, nutrition and education. The physical and psychological changes are taking place in this period. Healthy adolescent means healthy future human resource for any country. The well educated and healthy adolescent always leads to development of country. But adolescent health is critical issue in slums of Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The incidence of severe malnutrition among male and female is found much higher in all suburbs. Such incidence is higher for male as compare to female. The physical and electronic asset holding is more among adolescent. But still incidence of severe malnutrition is higher. We have also found that pulses, vegetables, fruits eaten is more among the adolescent but still we found more incidence of malnutrition. At lower educational level of parents, the incidence of malnutrition is higher among adolescent. At lower per capita income, the body mass index of adolescent is found low. If the per capita income increases then body mass index of adolescent also increases. The logistic regression result shows that malnutrition among female is positively co-related with sex, women water related trips, sewing machine, behavior of health staff and still breastfeeding to child. It is negatively correlated with age, weekly required liter of water, milk and hours of breastfeeding. The malnutrition among male is positively co-related with private health care treatment, purify drinking water, electricity, not known any contraceptive method. It is negatively corelated with sex, age, government water supply, cooker, sewing machine, television, bike, hygiene in public health care. The malnutrition among male and female is positively corelated with fan in house and outside food to child. It is negatively co-related with sex, age and watch television, assistance for delivery, child shown to health professional and child care at work. Therefore the policy such as water supply, the health care access to slums especially adole

The study was carried out to investigate the effect of supplementation of Millitia ferruginea leaf meal on intake, growth performance and carcass characteristics in intact Arsi Bale bucks fed a basal diet of grass hay. Twenty yearling male bucks with an initial body weight of 10.28 ± 0.96 kg (mean ± SE) were assigned to treatments using a completely randomized block design with four treatments i.e.T1 = 0% MLM + wheat bran+ maize and hay adlib,T2=2% MLM + wheat bran+ maize and hay adlib,T3=4% MLM wheat bran+ maize and hay adlib and T4=6% MLM + wheat bran maize and hay adlib One hundred gram concentrate mixture supplement was given twice a day in equal portions. The results indicated that there were no significant differences on feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion efficiency among the bucks receiving different treatments. The results pertaining to the carcass traits indicated differences ( in percentage terms) in un eviscerated carcass weight and dressing percentage with values higher among the bucks reared on T3 ration the weight of the empty gastrointestinal tract was also different between treatments with higher values observed in the bucks reared on T4 diet.
Virtual classroom is an irreplaceable part of distant learning systems and an important direction in the online education research field. A number of research works have been carried out in this area and many of them have been successfully implemented. However, most of them are video tutorial-based learning portal and video streaming classroom. In this paper, a model of real-time interactive virtual classroom has been proposed and implemented that provides real-time interactive classes with the collaboration of teacher and students in a single portal. It allows some responsive and co-operative tools that help teachers and students to interact easily irrespective of their distance. This virtual classroom has been designed to focus on the learners living is remote areas who cannot access the modern amenities of education. One of the main research goals is to provide the effective teaching and learning system where the distance between teacher and students can be reduced. Moreover, this paper makes some analysis and discussion about the testing and effectiveness of virtual classroom and analyzes the learning outcome.
