There is deficiency of data on knowledge, attitudes, perceptions and practices towards modern contraceptives, sexual and reproductive health especially among the young female students. Methods and Materials: A survey was conducted onfemales of Meerut region, Uttar Pradesh during February 2019-May 2019. Questionnaire was prepared including knowledge, attitude and perception-based questions and data was collected from females who provided data on socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, perceptions, attitudes and use of contraceptives, as well as other sexual and reproductive health practices. Results and Discussion: A total of 83 females responded to the survey; median (IQR) age was 20-25 years, 51.8% in firstyear of study, and nearly three quarters (79.5%) were of Hindu’s faith. Knowledge of any contraceptives was almost universal (99.6 %) but on...

Perceptions of mental health can encapsulate a person’s ability to enjoy life and find a balance between health activities and efforts to achieve mental resilience. Mental health is a symptom of emotions and shows effective adaptation to a host of needs. From this perspective, this study was conducted to find ways and means of maintaining mental health among urban youth. The major objectives to conduct this study were to identify the means through which urban adolescents achieve their good mental health and to identify the impact of adolescent’s mental health on quality of life and school performance. Students of 11, 12 and first year bachelors’ were taken as sample. Descriptive method was conducted to find out the results and SPSS technique was used to analyze data. It was seen that many adolescents show common traits os stress and apply common means and strategies to cope their anxiety.

A Redactor is a system which takes in any electronic document as an input from the user and identifies sensitive information, mainly nouns, such as: Person name, country name, gender, credit card information, phone numbers, email id, any confidential information that is to be not shown to the end user who the document is to be sent to . Initially, the user inputs a document, probably an image. This image is then pre-processed and put into the OCR which extracts the text out of the image. Hence, to be able to identify the sensitive information the very first step is to extract the information. A major application of an OCR is Redaction. Reading of information present in the documents can be read with the help of an OCR Machine.

Research paper thumbnail of Simple high-performance thermal management of chip-scale GaN FETs

2021 IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC), 2021

The huge FOM improvements require revisiting many design assumptions, including thermal management. The latter has been raised as a difficult challenge due to increased power density, especially with chip-scale-packaging (CSP). This paper shows that CSP GaN power FETs have excellent thermal performance when mounted on standard printed circuit boards (PCBs) with simple methods for attaching heat sinks. It is shown that a CSP GaN FET with 4 mm2 footprint on a standard 4-layer PCB can achieve junction-to-heatsink thermal resistance values of 6.2 K/W with < 70 μl of low-cost, medium performance thermal paste, and 5 K/W with the same amount of high-performance thermal putty, while maintaining electrical isolation. Analysis, FEM simulation, and experimental verification are provided. Pathways to further improvement are discussed.

Advergaming is the process in which advertising message, logo of company or other information about the brand is incorporated with online games or videos games. The Indian gaming industry is valued at INR 10.0 billion and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 31 percent to INR 38.3 billion by 2015. These games are typically played by users for about 5-10 minutes, and this level of engagement is expected to be more impactful than a 10 second advertisement on television/radio. Advergaming have attracted the attention of academician, researchers and industrialist but very few research have yet conducted in this field might be it is new emerging topic. The Objectives of this research paper are to formulate the conceptual framework of advergaming by covering various aspects, to conduct SWOT Analysis of Advergaming in Indian Market and to study the effectiveness of advergaming in brand awareness and brand recall. Observational and creative and critical writing is adopted to formulate domine, types and SWOT analysis of Advergaming. In order to verify the effectiveness of adverdgaming on brand awareness, self administrated questionnaire is filled by 150 respondents, convenient sampling is adopted. The respondents were graduates college students and professionals within age of 20-35 years, located in Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore region. Percentage Method is implemented for analysis. Advergaming technique helps in enhancing brand recall and awareness. It motivate customer to think for purchase of product but before actual purchase customer search for more information from other sources too. Research concludes that primary objective of adverdgaming should be amusement and gratification and secondary should be brand recall or sales in order to holds the interests of customers. This research paper formulates domain of Advergaming, its type, scope and SWOT analysis for Indian Market.
