AIDS is only the last stage in the wide spectrum of clinical features in HIV infection. HIV/AIDS is still largely a disease of MSMs that refers to as men who have sex with men and male injection drug users, but it is spreading most rapidly among women and adolescents. The virus is transmitted primarily from person to person, most frequently through sexual activity, blood contacts and from an infected mother to her foetus, through the placenta or to her infant during delivery or by breast feeding. Person infected with HIV Virus, death is a certainty but certain measures can be taken to slow down the process of infection. HIV virus thrives in certain ecological conditions. AIDS can be called our modern pandemic, affecting both industrialized and developing countries. In this paper an attempt has been made to study the common modes of transmission, prophylaxis and post-exposure prophylaxis of AIDS.","PeriodicalId":20688,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 6th International Conference on Innovation in Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73639897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report the expedient production of N-benzylaniline (NBA) which undoubtedly demonstrates its extreme importance to manufacture several drugs for respiratory diseases (e.g. asthma, chronic, lung cancers, tuberculosis, etc.). Presently, the production of NBA is a complicated and costly process. The synthesis of NBA is dependent upon a number of raw materials and involves many steps, which adversely affects the price of the end product. Therefore, the potential gains that can be attained by developing novel materials that minimise the complexity and expense of NBA are worthy of pursuit. Therefore, the present study involves the development of novel Pd catalyst to obtain NBA in single step process. Various simple and substituted aromatic, heterocyclic and aliphatic amines were reacted with benzyl alcohol to produce their corresponding N-benzylated amines in good to excellent yields (up to 95% Yield of NBA). Noteworthy, obtained Pd-catalyst preparation has been up-scaled to kilogram scale and catalysts prepared in both small (mg and grams) and large-scale (kilograms) exhibited similar structural features and activity.","PeriodicalId":20688,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 6th International Conference on Innovation in Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80785256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This device recognizes the in-depth intelligence of the holes on the surface of the road, and the electronic control unit controls the ready and leveling operators. The main chassis is a platform with components on top of it, such as the rear-trailer, with a diesel engine. The surface height sensors located at the beginning of the chassis scan the hole information. The data processing unit calculates the depth, and volume of the hole, and adjusts the location of all cutting, blasting, special slurry, Bitumen asphalt, and flattener and roller operators to suit the location of the holes. Then ECU sends the data information to the operators in sequence. To adjust the time of injection and the amount of motion of each operator, a certain algorithm is tailored to the dimensions of the hole by the processing unit. Once the track of the asphalt road is determining by this intelligent system, the paths are detected and recorded, and all of the holes will be restored with asphalt. Using this device reduces the time, costs, number and error of operator in roads maintenance.

In this paper, a theoretical development has been performed of the diffraction phenomenon of a laser beam by a frequency modulated (FM) ultrasonic wave. The obtained results show that each diffracted order position oscillates periodically around a central position, in the rhythm of the modulating wave signal. Moreover, the scanning frequency of the diffraction order increases linearly according to the frequency of the modulating signal, in addition the increase in the frequency excursion leads to the increase of the angular excursion. All the theoretical results are experimentally confirmed. Furthermore, the frequency modulation index has been easily obtained with good precision using experimental measurements of a diffracted order angular excursion.","PeriodicalId":20688,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 6th International Conference on Innovation in Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89048787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was conducted using in vitro models to assess the viability of dietary interventions on the removal of excess iron in the body through the incorporation of dietary iron chelators to diets as a cheap and feasible alternative treatment for control of iron overload. The fifteen (15) diet plans were formulated based on four ingredients containing natural chelators namely, red rice, fresh milk, turmeric and black tea against a control diet. The designed diets were subjected to in vitro digestion and their effect of iron chelation was assessed through ferrozine assay. The diet plan containing turmeric showed the highest iron chelation ability (94.47±0.47%) closely followed by the diet plan containing turmeric, fresh milk and black tea (92.58 ±0.89%). Thus, the study concluded that the incorporation of natural iron chelators significant increase the in vitro iron chelation ability (p value<0.05) and that turmeric alone or combinations of turmeric, fresh milk and black tea could be used for possible dietary intervention to control iron overload related complications.","PeriodicalId":20688,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 6th International Conference on Innovation in Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83908498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
