Background: Suppurative keratitis is a common ophthalmic condition mostly caused by fungi. Apart from fungal culture, wet preparation using 10% Potassium hydroxide (KOH) for microscopic detection of fungal elements is a rapid and accurate method of laboratory diagnosis. Purpose: This prospective and cross sectional study was undertaken in order to

Security is the most tedious problem in highly sensitive communications. Quantum security is the key issue in solving the problem. A key distribution protocol based on the use of hash functions is proposed. The essential part of the protocol depends on sending a string of random characters from sender to receiver. Then, a selected hash or a cascade

This paper aims to analyse the case of Donoghue v. Stevenson from the perspective of consumer protection law with special emphasis on liability for defective product which was the main ratio of the case. Although the principle of manufacturer’s liability for defective product as laid down in Donoghue v. Stevenson may be regarded as the source of

Common Electricity meters, which are currently used in houses, shops and some factories are bulky expensive and inaccurate. Such features are incompatible with modern technological trends of miniaturization accuracy and neat devices. This project presents the design and the model of a low cost digital energy meter to overcome the short comings of t

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that results from defects in insulin secretion and insulin receptor kinase. Investigation of novel small active molecule that can potentiate insulin action or having a similar action as insulin is important in the treatment of diabetes. World ethnobotanical information on medicinal plants repo

This paper investigates the performance of exponential/proportional fair (EXP/PF) and maximum-largest weighted delay first (M-LWDF) scheduling algorithms in the third generation partnership project long term evolution (3GPP LTE) providing packet-switched multimedia services. It, then, identifies a suitable packet scheduling algorithm on a basis of

A sequential optimization based on statistical design and one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method was employed to optimize the media constituents for the improvement of citric acid production from oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) through solid state bioconversion using Aspergillus niger IBO-103MNB. The results obtained from the Plackett–Burman desig

An investigation was carried out to evaluate the effect of different particle size of oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) and their distribution as new substrate for the production of citric acid through solid state bioconversion (SSB) in laboratory scale by Aspergillus niger. The experiment was carried out to observe the productivity of citric acid

Experimental investigations have been conducted on the chips and common types of discreteness in the form of serrated saw teeth (primary or secondary) have been identified. It has been observed that the chip formation process has a discrete nature, associated with the periodic shearing process of the chip during machining of stainless steel. Mechan

Solid polymer electrolytes comprising of various weight ratios of poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) and lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) salt were prepared via solution casting technique using N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) as the solvent. The conductivity values of the electrolytes were determined utilizing Solatron 1260. The highest conductivity obtained
