 Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are highly prevalent and pose a significant health burden across all age groups. Accurate and timely diagnosis of UTIs is crucial for effective management and prevention of complications. This case study aims to evaluate the utility of chromogenic agar as a primary culture tool for the isolation and presumptive identification of uropathogens in UTI diagnosis. Conventional diagnostic protocols for UTIs often rely on time-consuming cultural characteristics and biochemical tests, leading to limitations in sensitivity and specificity. Chromogenic media, pioneered by Dr. Alain Rambach, have emerged as a promising alternative by incorporating specific chromogenic substrates that produce distinguishable colors in the presence of bacterial enzymes. This facilitates the identification of uropathogens without the need for further biochemical testing. By examining the existing evidence and insights from clinical practice, this case study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the utility of chromogenic agar in clinical microbiology laboratories for UTI diagnosis. The findings will contribute to enhancing diagnostic strategies and optimizing treatment decisions for patients with UTIs, potentially leading to improved patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.

 Abstract

Satellite have been widely developed for public missions such as national defense and meteorology. The power capacity of satellites continues to increase. Accordingly, the weight and loss of the electrical power system of the satellite must be reduced. As the power capacity of satellites increases, a high bus voltage is strongly required to reduce the weight and power losses. However, most high-power DC/DC converter topologies such as half-bridge and full-bridge DC/DC converters have leg-structures, which violate the heritage design characteristics of the DC/DC converters for satellites. A DC/DC converter topology suitable for a high bus voltage that satisfies the heritage design characteristics of DC/DC converters for satellites is designed using a two-switch forward converter with an integrated buck converter. Since this converter integrates two DC/DC converters, the number of semiconductor devices is reduced. As a result, its cost, weight, and volume can be greatly reduced. Moreover, the zero-voltage switching of the low-side switch can be achieved and the efficiency is improved. Here, two switch forward converter with integrated buck converter is used to produce three outputs from a single input to use in satellite. The simulation is done in MALTLAB. The effectiveness and feasibility of the converter were verified with a prototype of 100 V input and 100 W (40 V/50 V) output.

 Abstract

The population in our countries in metro cities increases rapidly due to which the residential building requirements also increases in metro city to fulfill the basic need of house for peoples .Due to which the building construction growth expands from last 10 years .But the building maintenance management plays key role in functioning of building .There is a building to meet the user's time limit. The special purpose of maintenance is to exaggerate the bad life of the building through Deterioration, decay and failure. Building maintenance management is the complex process of planning, directing, managing and managing resources for the livelihood of a building's functional operation. This research focuses on the most important form of management systems and reveals the state of the art. Seen through case studies, it is promising to make clear decisions due to structural strength monitoring in management systems, which are essential for profit owners struggling with limited resources. Buildings are widely expanded in all over the world. So, its repair and maintenance is necessary for the safety, effective and economy of industrial building and as well as workers who are working in it. Maintenance involves operational and functional checks, servicing, repair and replacing of necessary devices, equipment, machinery, building infrastructure, and supporting utilities in industrial business, governmental and residential installation. In Residential building many defects are occurred such as cracks, vegetation, structural cracks in wall, defective flooring, paint, cracks on internal road, improper drainage, gap in shed, improper cutting, cracks in foundation of machine etc. The early stage damage identification and its remedial action on it will be save the time and cost of user. This conditional evaluation will be evaluated in this project by taking suitable case study in Pune metro city. This study analysis the root cause of damage or repair work which will helpful to avoid the same mistake in future projects. This study will also exanimate the need of effective Maintenance management for residential building.

 Abstract

This study aimed to explore the potential of Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a source of L-asparaginase, an enzyme renowned for its strong antitumor properties and extensively investigated as a therapeutic agent for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children and various neoplasms in animals. Soil samples were collected, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated and confirmed as a reliable producer of L-asparaginase. The production conditions were optimized by varying the concentration of L-asparagine, a crucial substrate for enzyme synthesis. L-asparaginase production was monitored at different time intervals using a spectrophotometer. The results revealed that an optimal concentration of 1.0% L-asparagine after 72 hours yielded the highest L-asparaginase production. These findings provide valuable insights for enhancing enzyme action and contribute to the understanding of L-asparaginase production, with potential applications in cancer treatment and other fields. Future research can build upon these findings to develop improved strategies for L-asparaginase production and utilization in medical and biotechnological applications.

 Abstract

Introduction: Plantar fasciitis is the result of collagen degeneration of the plantar fascia of the foot. It is a common condition and can be unilateral (or) bilateral. It is the most common cause of infra calcaneal pain. The plantar fascia is a thick fibrous band of connective tissue originating from the medial process of calcaneal tuberosity. It results in pain in the heel and bottom of the foot that is usually most severe with the first step of the day (or) following a period of rest. Numbness, tingling, swelling (or) radiating pain, pain on the bottom of the heel, increased pain after exercise, pain in the arch of foot, pain that is worse in the morning (or) when patient / subject stand after sitting for a long time, a swollen heel, pain that continuous for months, a tight Achilles tendon are the symptoms of plantar fasciitis. Wearing high - arched feet (or) flat feet, wearing shoes that don't support the feet, obese persons, athlete, standing for long time these are the causes of plantar fasciitis. The need of the study is to evaluate whether manual therapy in the treatment of plantar fasciitis represents an effective option in reducing pain, disability and to increase range of motion of ankle joint.

 Abstract

Environmental and economic reasons require the revision of present concrete making materials. Fortunately within this scenario a new player has emerged that can help in mitigating the problem and the player is Geopolymer Concrete. This paper provides the details of development of the process of making fly ash-based geopolymer concrete. Due to the lack of knowledge and know-how of making of fly ash based geopolymer concrete in the published literature, this study adopted a rigorous trial and error process to develop the technology of making, and to identify the salient parameters affecting the properties of fresh and hardened concrete. The main parameters affecting the compressive strength of hardened fly ash-based geopolymer concrete are the curing temperature and curing time, the molar H2O-to-Na2O ratio, and mixing time. Fresh fly ash-based geopolymer concrete has been able to remain workable up to at least 120 minutes without any sign of setting and without any degradation in the compressive strength. Providing a rest period for fresh concrete after casting before the start of curing up to five days increased the compressive strength of hardened concrete.
