In present day applications the approach of data mining and associated privacy preservation plays a significant role for ensuring optimal mining function. The approach of privacy preserving data mining (PPDM) emphasizes on ensuring security of private information of the participants. On the contrary majority of present mining applications employ the vertically partitioned data for mining utilities. In such scenario when the overall rule is divided among participants, some of the parties remain with fewer rules sets and thus the classification accuracy achieved by them always remain questionable. On the other hand, the consideration of private information associated with any part will violate the approach of PPDM. Therefore, in order to eliminate such situations and to provide a facility of rule regeneration in this paper, a highly robust and efficient rule regeneration scheme has been proposed ensures optimal classification accuracy without using any critical user information for rule generation. The proposed system developed a rule generation function called cumulative dot product (P2DM-RGCD) rule regeneration scheme. The developed algorithm generates two possible optimal rule generation and update functions based on cumulative updates and dot product. The proposed system has exhibited optimal response in terms of higher classification accuracy, minimum information loss and optimal training efficiency.

Introduction: Hearing loss (HL), one of the commonest sensory disorders, can be caused by a variety of environmental and genetic factors 1. Genetic HL of nonsyndromic form can be caused by mutations in both nuclear and mitochondrial genes 3. Mitochondrial mutation (m.1555A>G) in the MTRNR1 gene is related to HL. The aim of this study is to describe the m.1555A>G genetic mutation in the MTRNR1 gene and its relationship with hearing loss plus medical literature review. Methods: A retrospective study of medical records of a patient who was diagnosed with profound hearing loss and m.1555A>G mutation. The medical literature review was performed using the MeshTerms: genetic hearing loss; non-syndromic hearing loss and m.1555A>G.

In geladas, sociality and population structure are unusual because they establish highly differentiated bonds with other group members. Such bonds are particularly pronounced among female geladas, with female philopatry and male dispersal. In the present study, gelada band size and population structures varied between wet and dry seasons. The mean number of females per harem varied from 4.5 to 7.1. In addition, the mean harem, or reproductive female size in all study bands is not statistically significant within season, or between seasons (P > 0.05). The sex ratio did not also show any significant differences between seasons. However, the adult sex ratio and the mean number of reproductive females within the units were statistically significant (t10= -5.6, P < 0.05). Gelada population growth rate is relatively high (mean = 17.1 % per annum) in Guassa Community Protected Area, and it could be deduced by the differences in number of birth and death at a given period of time within the natural population. Ratio of females per male was relatively lower in the study bands of geladas in present study area, and it doesn’t show a true relationship annual growth rate of gelada population. However, the number of births per female/year has brought a significant change on gelada population.

Introduction: For renal diseases, renal biopsy is considered gold standard to reach a diagnosis. The present study was undertaken to understand and analyze clinical symptoms, lab findings and final histological diagnosis for clinico-pathological correlation. Material and Methods: The present prospective study comprised of 127 patients who underwent per-cutaneous renal biopsies over a period of three years. Before undertaking renal biopsies the clinical findings along with biochemical and urinary investigations were done.

Pathfinding has been one of major research areas in video games for many years. It is a key problem that most of the video games are confronted with. Search algorithms such as the A* algorithm and the Dijkstra’s algorithm representing such regular grid, visibility graphs also have significant impact on the performance. This paper reviews the current widely used solutions for pathfinding and proposes a new method which is expected to generate a higher quality path using less time and memory than other existing solutions. The deployment of the methodologies and techniques is described in detail. The significance of the proposed method in future video games is addressed and the conclusion is given at the end.

Grafting can be defined as the natural or deliberate fusion of plant parts so that vascular continuity is established between them and the resulting genetically composite organism functions as a single plant. Grafting used for a long time ago to increase uniformity, vigour and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses of vegetatively propagated plants (i.e. fruit and ornamental trees and shrubs). The technique also applied in vegetable production to tackle biotic and abiotic stresses. Grafting of vegetables is a common practice in different parts of the world, but not in Ethiopia. However, there is no review attempt made so far pertinent to the issues of vegetable grafting in Ethiopia. Therefore, this paper aimed to review the importance of grafting on selected fruit vegetables yield, quality, disease resistant and stress tolerant.

Literature mirrors society and literary artists reflect the realities of lives in their various societies through their literary works. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh is one of the Nigerian writers who use their literary works to advance political goals all geared and targeted towards a more humane and prosperous society. Utopia as a concept is coined from the two Greek words: outopia which means ‘no place’ and eutopia which means ‘the good place’ and both words combined together to mean “the good place in no place”. This is the idea of a perfect world that obviously conflicts with our real world of reality. Utopian novels, therefore, are the type of novels where the writers create a perfect and beautiful world; a world where everything is good and ideal, a paradise where people and society thrive in harmony and human development and achievements flower at their peaks. This world is far from our world of reality, our world of flesh and blood but writers create them perhaps to show a picture of an ideal world and also to see if we can through constant effort and quest strive to model our world to a greater extent in the form of the ideal world. This paper adopted the utopian perspective in literary works as the framework for this study. The paper is interested in determining the real life social – political and economic realities that obviously gave rise to the issues in the novel under discourse.

The transmission of electrical power is an essential stage in the delivery of electricity to end users, in that; it serves as the link between the generating stations and the final consumers. However, a significant amount of the generated power is lost in the transmission process. These losses often result in reduced transmitted power, increased operational costs and subsequent penalties in the tune of millions of Cedis, which is paid monthly to these generating stations by Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo). This paper therefore investigated the causes of these high transmission technical losses being experienced on the GRIDCo network. We used literature survey and field interactions with GridCo Engineers to validate our conclusions. The Power System Simulation for Engineering (PSS/E) software package was used to simulate the entire grid to identify areas on the grid violating system pre-set parameters and hence, contributing to the technical losses on the network. Results from the simulations conducted showed that, most areas in the northern network section of the grid were experiencing low voltages, which were in violation of system parameters. Subsequently, Reactive Power – Voltage (QV) curve analysis and optimal capacitor allocation technique was implemented for critical buses in these areas to determine the ideal amount of compensation needed to be installed at these buses. Voltage profiles in the critical areas improved immensely, after the needed compensation was injected. This also reduced the losses being experienced on the grid network tremendously. It is therefore recommended that, studies on reactive power requirement, optimal capacitor allocation techniques as well as distributed generation (DG) technologies, be deployed to reduce the network system losses as well as improve the network system voltage profiles. Another option would be replacing the radial scheme in the northern network section with ring within rings main scheme or interconnected sch

World War II has brought many ethnic groups together through migrations inherent in the said war. This is the case of white Mexicans and Indians who have formed a hybrid American society. Has this creation been desired for better results? This article highlights the profitability of the cultural differences between the two peoples in the novel Ceremony (1977) by Marmon Silko. The emphasis is on the use of a bastard to confirm his identity and the Indian contribution to the national culture of the United States. The failure of American and Vietnamese medicine has led to the promotion of traditional Indian methods and the empowerment of Indian subjects.
