Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) with two different average diameters were purified with the nitric acid (MWCNT-HNO3) treatment process. The N2 (adsorption/desorption) measurement showed an increase in surface area from the raw material to the MWCNT 4 normal (4N) acid (HNO3) treatment material, and a decrease in surface area from the MWCNT-4N acid treatment material to the MWCNT-8N acid treatment material. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis implies that some amorphous carbons have been removed from the treated samples and defects on the sidewalls were observed.

In This paper, a Bidirectional DC-DC converter also known as dual active bridge (DAB) dc–dc converter is presented. A Z-source with bidirectional dc–dc converter by reducing the switching count by adding passive elements has improved the output voltage level, when compared with the traditional bidirectional dc–dc converter. The proposed converter has a wider regulation range of voltage.

This review paper means of electronic health records in addition to their advantages and disadvantages from different perspectives and viewpoints. The main aim of this paper is concluded in reviewing the adoption of electronic health records in different countries in the Middle East in order to trace out the current status of adopting this technology worldwide. Through this paper, some concentration will be done on the adoption of electronic health records at this countries and toward to building electronic health records system in Iraq.

Objective: Eosinophilia is commonly reported to occur in hookworm infection. Hence adetailed study was doneto highlight the importance of eosinophilia as an important indicator of hookworm infection diagnosed by doing upper gastro intestinal endoscopy.

A study on the determination of the use of Effective Microorganisms (EM) was carried out. EM was purchased from the office of ‘Ecopro’ Auroville, Auroshilpam, Tamilnadu, India. The waste water was collected from STET Women’s College, Sundarakkottai, Mannargudi, Thiruvarur Dt. The parameters that indicate the waste water treatment process such as odour, pH, DO, BOD, COD, TDS, TS, TSS, Nitrate and Phosphate were determined before and after the treatment of wastewater, to observe the efficiency of selected process. There was an appreciable reduction in the above mentioning values.

Muslims are religious minority in India. Their population is about 201319 and the rate of population growth is about stable over last 10 years. Hazaribag district of Jharkhand state of India have a rural population of approximately 73 % and out of which 13.7% is of Muslim Community. As a matter of fact they have failed to match pace of development with majority community. Although various governmental schemes are available so that they can develop socioeconomically at par to other people, but the result so far found is not satisfactory.

The study was conducted to assess the impact of chemical immobilization and anaesthesia on certain haematological and biochemical parameters in Asiatic lions intended for diagnostic and surgical procedure. The impact of anaesthetic and ancillary drugs was studied in 8 Asiatic and hybrid lions (Panthera leo persica) in 12 trials.

The purpose of the study was to find out the impact of simplified kundalini yoga practices among the mental health of the teachers. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences on the mental health due to the effect of simplified kundalini yoga practices among the teacher. For the present study the 20 female teachers from Coimbatore district, Tamilnadu were selected at random and their age ranged from 38 to 55 years. The subjects of all 20 underwent simplified kundalini yoga practices.

Objective: To compare the effects of the three manual techniques in patient with shoulder impingement syndrome. 
Research design: Pre test and post test structured, comparative study design. 
Participants: 30 subjects were taken from outpatient physiotherapy department of SVNIRTAR and sub-centers. 
Outcome measures: Pain intensity by VAS, shoulder range of motion and shoulder pain and disability index.
