Root exposure along with inadequate vestibular depth is a common clinical finding. Treatment option includes many techniques to treat such defects for obtaining predictable root coverage. Normally, the vestibular depth is increased first followed by a second surgery for root coverage. The present case report describes a single-stage technique for vestibular extension and root coverage in a single tooth by using the Periosteal Pedicle Flap (PPF). This technique involves no donor site morbidity and allows for reflection of sufficient amount of periosteal flap tissue with its own blood supply at the surgical site, thus increasing the chances of success of root coverage with simultaneous increase in vestibular depth. 1.

Increasing electrical and electronic waste is a matter of grave concern as it leads to a number of health and safety problems. The E-waste disposal, especially in India, is done in a highly unorganized manner. The workers in this sector are not trained and have to work under hazardous conditions without access to proper gear, thereby exposing themselves and the environment to hazardous substances. It is estimated that more than one million workers are engaged in unorganized E-waste disposal sector in India. This paper analyses the current E-waste scenario globally and Indian context, its effects and management.

Because SD-WAN manages the data plane in the networking domains separated by the public Internet, SDWAN provides a distinct environment and challenges from SDN, including greater risks for the security threats injecting control plane communications from attackers residing outside of the SDN domain. We design and build blockchain-coordinating controllers (BCC) to secure control communications of the SD-WAN controller network formed by the distributed controllers spread across multiple domains. BCC provides resiliency against the security threats in the control plane where an attacker compromises controller communications to manipulate the coordination and the operations of the other controllers. More specifically, BCC provides secure control communications even when up to n controllers’ networking credentials are compromised. BCC is also designed for modularity so that it applies generally across the controller implementations. We prototype BCC using Ethereum and smart contract on CloudLab to validate its effectiveness and efficiency. We experiment on geographically separate nodes on CloudLab and show that BCC achieves the distributed consensus at sub-second level for certificate/key distribution and for network-wide control communication synchronization.

Smart grid uses a bidirectional communication model between the consumer and the utility service. The sensing along the communication line is what makes the grid system smart. Linking the smart grid with fog and cloud not only makes the process extra firm but also more secure and reliable. This paper presents a mechanism to reduce the response time in the smart grid architecture so as the system is more responsive. We have introduced a system which reduces the response time in grid system using fog computing.

The present research work is undertaken to study the development, characterization and erosion wear performance of two different categories of fibers when reinforced in polymers. One of the two fiber is well known synthetic fiber i.e. glass fiber which is commercially used by many industries and the other fiber will be a natural fiber i.e. banana fiber which will be the new attempt in the present investigation. In both the above cases matrix material will remain epoxy. From the performed experiments it can be seen that a banana fiber can successfully replace the glass fiber as far as wear performance in concerned, as the study indicates that erosion wear performance of banana fiber based composites is better than that of the glass fiber reinforced composites. Banana fiber is also having a very low specific gravity, so their composites...

The making of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) which is caused due to the stress induced out of these pollutants play a major role in debasement of pollutants in oceanic conditions. This smaller than expected audit is pointed toward anticipating the proficiency of the utilisation of regular biofilm in water treatment coming about because of mining exercises. Additionally, it sums up the idea of mining by briefly expressing the stages engaged with mining and how the toxins delivered during mining can make harmful impacts on amphibian vegetation. Discussion on how the advancement of biodiversity is impacted by the ecological issues resulting from activities of mining was done. Microalgae assume a significant part in the alleviation of the effect of contamination coming about because of mining exercises. The cycle of toxins expulsion in freshwater by miniature green ...

The development of techniques for guided bone regeneration (GBR) has lead to the possibility of placing implants in the areas where earlier it was not possible due to deficient bone. Further, in the recent years LASERs have also emerged as a powerful and efficient treatment tool for carrying out perioplastic and soft tissue corrections surgeries. The present case report describes a case where implant supported prosthesis was delivered in the minimal available bone and further esthetic enhancement was done by correcting the abnormal frenal attachment by doing LASER assisted perioplastic surgery.

Air riding seals have emerged as potential candidates to deal effectively with the high pressure discharge air from the compressor. The simplest types of air-riding seals are those with an axial gap. Radial gap seals can provide another level of advantage in terms of their applicability and the total axial travel that needs to be accommodated. This paper provides an overview on a preliminary design effort in modelling and designing a radial gap air riding seal having a continuous ring structure. It investigates a key issue regarding these seals: developing a positive radial stiffness in the air-film to drive the sealing ring to accommodate for any radial shaft movement while maintaining a minimum clearance from the shaft to avoid any contact (in effect, having sort of a bearing-li...

Here we have designed four different types of antennas––E-shaped patch antenna using the substrate Rogers RT/Duroid whose resonating frequency is 2.5 GHz and bandwidth is 500 MHz. Secondly, we have designed a U-shaped patch antenna using the substrate RT/Duroid (2.2) whose resonating frequency is 2.4 GHz and bandwidth is 150 MHz. These two types of antenna are single band antennas and we have an octagonal–rectangular patch antenna using the substrate FR4_epoxy(4.4) which operates at two resonating frequency 8.5 GHz and 15.5 GHz and bandwidth is 550 MHz and 650 MHz, respectively. A dual-band U-shaped patch antenna is designed in succession of single-band U-shaped antenna Then we have compared the parameters like bandwidth, return loss and resonating frequency of 4 types of antenna to find out the best among all and their different applications.

In a typical multi-SP market with variable pricing and heterogeneous resource demands of VMs, resource allocation/placement is particularly challenging. To maximize the social welfare of the multi-SP markets, in this paper, we propose a resource allocation technique called MatchCloud formulated as a one-to-many matching game. Owing to the in-applicability of the classical deferred acceptance algorithm (DAA) due to size heterogeneity, we adopt a modified version of the algorithm. Moreover, preference generation is crucial for matching markets. Hence, we also present a simple yet efficient technique to assign preferences to two different stakeholders, i.e., VMs and SPs. Simulation results show that VM proposing RDA performs better compared to when SPs propose.

In this project, we’re trying to build some sort of a search engine where a person can feed their genomic data and, in the background we could detect the CTCs(circulatory tumor cells) in that and be able to present to the user, the possible types of Cancer he may be prone to have. Currently, we’re in the first phase of training the deep learning neural network autoencoder model using h20 framework and are able to satisfactorily detect the CTCs.

Blood is an unstable product with uncertainties in both supply and demand and bloodstock management is, therefore, a judicious balance between shortage and wastage. The website eases the easy access to the blood of different blood groups as per the need of the particular person. The website also tells us about the bloodstock details, blood Issue details and it is regularly updated by the authorized person in the respective blood banks. Improvement of a blood supply chain is a hard process. To improve this, the web-based blood bank management system is accessible.

We show by inherent structure (IS) analysis that this sharp composition dependent breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation can be attributed to the non-monotonic variation in the average inherent structure energy of these mixtures. Further IS analysis reveals the existence of a unique ground state, stabilized by both the formation of an optimum number of H-bonds and a favorable hydrophobic interaction at this composition. The surprisingly sharp turnaround behavior observed in the effective hydrodynamic radius also owes its origin to the same combination of these two factors. Interestingly, the temperature dependence of isothermal compressibility shows a minimum at the particular composition. Extensive studies on water-dimethyl sulfoxide and water-ethanol mixtures using two different force-fields of water reveal many features that are nearly universal. A justification of this quasi-universal behavior is provided in terms of a mode-coupling theory (MCT) of viscosity, which can serve as the starting point of a remarkable correlation observed with the nearest neighbor structure, as captured by the first peaks of the radial distribution function, and the slowdown in the intermediate scattering function at intermediate wavenumbers. Therefore, the formation of the local structure captured through IS analysis can be correlated with the MCT.
