Understanding Problems to Calculate Non-Trivial Homotopy Groups of Spheres []


One of the fundamental problems of Algebraic topology is to calculate Homotopy groups of spheres that is concerned as a goal of 21st century. Trivial homotopy groups of spheres have been calculated convincingly. But computation of non-trivial homotopy groups of spheres is found very complex and difficult. To understand the complexity, we have reviewed computation of the trivial homotopy groups and then looked at the complexity again to draw some meaningful insights. We found that homotopy groups have not been defined properly yet for non-trivial cases and have no useful classification of it. Some proofs have been rewritten to ensure their mathematical foundations.

Kinetics of Kapalbhati: A mathematical interpretation of force, pressure, centre of gravity and centre of mass []


This article introduces the theoretical study of kinetics of kapalbhati, how mathematical parameters correlated to each other. Kapalbhati is high frequency yoga breathing (exhalation breathing rate up to 2 Hz) literally means shining forehead (kapala = cranium or forehead, bhati = shining or even knowledge in Sanskrit). It is known widely for its positive effects on abdominal muscles and overall health. Kapalbhati plays an important role to enhance the abdominal muscle strength and its muscle tone as well. The purpose of this theoretical study is to analyze or investigate the effects of pressure and forces at various sitting anatomical positions during kapalbhati and also to find the exact location of centre of mass, centre of gravity at different positions of sitting postures. This article helps the practitioner to provide deep understanding and analysis for the mechanics of kapalbhati as well as to reduce errors during practice. In this study a standard mathematical approach is adopted to find the relation between the force, angle and pressure. The study shows that the force which is exerted on the abdominal area during kapalbhati pranayama is a mathematical function and how pressure changes as direction of force changes. This implies that as angle of sitting changes, it leads to increase force and it results to increase pressure ultimately and vice versa. There are significant changes in the outcome of the practice at different sitting body posture that leads to change in work of breath, heart rate and oxygen consumption. From the mathematical interpretation, we can conclude that practice of kapalbhati pranayama at proper position gives a positive impact on the overall health. Index Terms— Centre of gravity, Centre of mass, Force, Kapalbhati, Kinetics, Pressure, Yoga

Informal Used Lead Acid Battery Recycling: Assessment of Topsoil Contamination from their Operational Activities []


The recycling of used lead-acid batteries (ULAB) has caused numerous health and environmental problems in developing countries. Soil pollution from ULAB recycling activities has been associated with elevated lead concentrations in human blood. We measured lead concentrations at 25 different smelter sites. Lead concentration was determined using an iCE 3000 series atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The average lead concentrations at the smelter site, 20 meters, and 40 meters from the smelter site were 39,800 mg/kg, 6,310 mg/kg, and 4,720 mg/kg, respectively. All samples at the smelter site exceeded the U.S. residential limit (EPA) of 400 mg/kg and the U.S. bare soil limit (EPA) of 1,200 mg/kg. The highest concentrations of lead in soil were found in the smelter or collection site. Soil lead concentrations decreased significantly with distance along the road from the ULAB recycling facility. The result shows that the topsoil is highly contaminated where informal ULAB recycling is conducted, which poses a potential health hazard to the surrounding communities.

MULTI-CELL LINEAR PRECODERS FOR MASSIVE MIMO WITH MATRIX NORMALIZATION []


Massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) is one of the major key enabling technology for future generation networks, which has large number of antennas at both base stations (BSs) and the user equipments (UEs) to provide high throughput using signal processing techniques. In this research work, we studied downlink (DL) sum throughput of mMIMO networks using multi-cell basic linear precoding techniques. The multi-cell zero-forcing (M-ZF), multi-cell regularized zero-forcing (M-RZF), single-cell minimum mean squared error (S-MMSE), and multi-cell minimum mean squared error (M-MMSE) precoding techniques are utilized in the DL. The closed bound expressions of spectrum efficiency (SE) of these linear precoders were derived and analytically expressed. Monte-Carlo simulations were performed with channel-estimators such as minimum mean squared error (MMSE) and element-wise MMSE (EW-MMSE) estimates. The numerical analysis shows that the M-MMSE tends to out-perform S-MMSE, M- RZF, and M-ZF by having the highest average sum throughput at any number of antennas with different UEs in the two-channel estimators. Finally, there is an average sum throughput performance gain of using the M-MMSE over other basic linear precoding techniques.

Treatment of severe acute malnutrition with home-based therapeutic nutrition: A critical appraisal of efficacy and safety []


Child malnutrition is a major public health problem since it is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability across the globe. This review looked at the evidence surrounding the effectiveness of ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF), ready-to-use supplemental foods (RUSF), prophylactic antibiotic utilization, & vitamin A dietary supplements for the treatment of severe and moderate acute malnutrition (SAM) according to the current World Health Organization (WHO) guideline using facility- and community-based techniques. Following a thorough examination of relevant digital archives, we collated the resulting data. Inconclusive evidence suggests that SAM and MAM recovery rates may be increased with integrated community-based screening, identification, and management. Screening and treatment in a facility for basic SAM did not affect recovery or fatality rates, although therapeutic milk F100 used to treat SAM had effects comparable to RUTF. Recovery time as well as weight gain for MAM are similar with whey and local food RUSF compared to regular RUSF, but CSB receives greater advantages from normal RUSF. When antibiotics are given before a case of simple SAM, the patient has a better chance of making a full recovery, gaining more weight, and even living longer. Data on the effects of high-dose vit A supplements on weight growth and mortality in children with SAM are few, but they seem to be equivalent to those of low-dose vitamin A supplementation.
