Paraplegia happens whilst there may be damage underneath the neck. The maximum common motive is trauma, such as sports injury or vehicle accident. other causes are stroke, spine tumors, together with cancers. This paper provides a novel design to enhance the conversation of paralysis sufferers. The device is a clever glove that is used to seize hand gestures and convert them into verbal commands. The glove is geared up with sensors and processors that discover the hand gestures and convert them into indicators. The tool is designed to be simple and user-friendly, allowing patients to quickly adapt to its use. The tool is likewise designed to be low-cost and handy, permitting more paralysis patients to use it. The device is tested and evaluated for its performance, and the outcomes display that it may accurately capture and interpret the hand gestures of the sufferers. In most cases paralyzed affected person (like Monoplegia, Hemiplegia, Paraplegia) aren’t capable of interact or communicate with others or their caretaker. This net of factors primarily based clever glove facilitates the affected person to convey their needs to the caretakers. It measures pulse, temperature, blood pressure and gyro. In gyroscope sensor there is a message, based at the route or motion in which it can be conveyed thru show and audio. it is able to screen thru internet and smart telephones. but it can not be used for tetraplegia patient. It is concluded that in quadriplegia as patients can not move their body, if in future we can able to read the neuron signals of the patients through sensor or any device and then we can able to understand what they need or what they want. Consequently the system can be able to display or hear through audio which can be used according to the need, updating into neuro reading sensors which are economically viable.","PeriodicalId":9156,"journal":{"name":"Bioscience Biotechnology Research Communications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42473947","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}

Bacteriological assessments have been used to outline the wide varieties of heterotrophic bacteria, overall coliform and faecal coliform. The chloride content, pH, temperature, conductivity, flouride content, total hardness and suspended particles have been additionally investigated. The coliform count ranged from 0 to 1000 coliform/100ml of the sample while the heterotrophic bacterial count ranged from 0 to 118 cfu/ml. In the bottled water samples, there was no faecal coliform and fluoride contents. The pH, temperature, conductivity, Chloride content, total hardness, and total suspended particles were all within acceptable limits between 6.50 and 8.30, 19.8 and 21.00C, 63.10 and 86.92µS/cm, 3.58 and 4.64 mg/l, 1 and 86 mg/l and 1.0 x 10-3 to 3.0 x 10-3 g/100ml, respectively.

All-in-focus images are instructive and valuable for visual perception. Maintaining shift-invariant and directional selectivity in a fused image is crucial. Traditional wavelet-based fusion methods are hindered their performance due to a lack of invariant shift and reduced directionality. In this paper, a classical multifocus hybrid wavelet-based approach with principal component analysis (PCA) is proposed. At the first level of decomposition, stationary wavelet transformation (SWT) is used to perform the fusion process with the given source images. In the next level, approximation coefficients of source images are selected for decomposition as well as fusion using dual-tree complex wavelet transformation (DTCWT) and finally, PCA is applied to generate a final fused image. Analysis of the proposed method has been accomplished by evaluating various objective parameters.","PeriodicalId":9156,"journal":{"name":"Bioscience Biotechnology Research Communications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46917067","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 reveals that the 96h median lethal concentration (LC50) value of cartap hydrochloride is 20.7 µg/l. Besides, the exposed fish also exhibited erratic behavioral responses at the acute level. The effects of cartap hydrochloride at the sublethal concentration (30% of 96h LC50 value) after 15d and 30d exposure induces alterations in biochemical parameters of freshwater fish Oreochromis mossambicus. Moreover, the modulatory effects of Ocimum sanctum powder (20 gm/kg feed) on the toxicity of cartap hydrochloride were investigated. The investigation demonstrated that sublethal concentrations of cartap hydrochloride increased the levels of liver catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione S-transferase (GST), malondialdehyde (MDA), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Additionally, the exposed fish treated with dietary Ocimum sanctum abridged the toxic effects of the pesticide. Moreover by using integrated biomarker response (IBR) and biomarker response index (BRI) the change in the health status of pesticide exposed fish upon addition of Ocimum sanctum supplemented diet over control diet was determined. These results indicate that cartap hydrochloride alters the survivability and behavioral responses of Oreochromis mossambicus at the acute level and changes the biochemical parameters at the sublethal level which was modulated by the additament of Ocimum sanctum.","PeriodicalId":9156,"journal":{"name":"Bioscience Biotechnology Research Communications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42685124","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}
