Unicode font is used in coding system that assign a unique code to every symbol of scripts irrespective of their platform, and language. The Greek Unicoder receives 16-bit hexadecimal code of alphabet. The device has been designed to convert Greek language into different languages that our people could understand. This Unicode reader code has been implemented on 28nm FPGA platform called Kintex-7 FPGA. In this paper we are using frequency scaling technique and Design goal. In this paper power analysis is our main concern and we have studied about the power analysis at different frequencies keeping the temperature constant at 25 degree Celsius and maintaining the constant air flow.

Rahul K. Verma,Yuki Ogihara,Toshihiko Kuwabara,Kwansoo Chung 한국소성가공학회 2011 기타자료 Vol.2011 No.8

In this work, as non-proportional/non-monotonous deformation experiments, two-stage and tension-compression-tension uniaxial tests were performed, respectively, for a cold rolled ultra high strength dual phase steel sheet: DP780. Deformation behaviors under such deformation paths were found different than those of the ultra low carbon single phase steels observed by Verma et al. (Int. J. Plast. 2011, 82-101). To model the newly observed deformation behaviors, the combined type constitutive law previously proposed by Verma et al. (Int. J. Plast. 2011, 82-101) was successfully applied here. Permanent softening observed during reverse loading was properly characterized into the isotropic and kinematic hardening parts of the hardening law using tension-compression-tension test data. The cross effect observed in two-stage tests was also effectively incorporated into the constitutive law.

Purpose: The present study was aimed to investigate the variation of soft palate morphology in different age and gender groups. The correlations of radiographic velar length (VL), velar width (VW), pharyngeal depth (PD), and Need's ratio with soft palate variants were also studied in the North Indian subpopulation. Materials and Methods: The study sample consisted of 300 subjects aged between 15 and 45 (mean: 31.32) years. The velar morphology on lateral cephalograms was examined and grouped into six types. The results obtained were subjected to a statistical analysis to find the correlation between variants of the soft palate with gender and different age groups. Results: The most frequent type of soft palate was leaf shaped (48.7%), and the least common was crook shaped (3.0%) among both the genders and various age groups, showing a significant correlation. The mean VL, VW, and PD values were significantly higher in males and significantly correlated with the types of soft palate. A significant correlation was observed between the mean VL, VW, PD, and Need's ratio with various age groups, showing an inconsistent pattern with an increase in age. The types of soft palate, gender, and Need's ratio were also significantly correlated, with an overall higher mean value of the Need's ratio among female subjects and the S-shaped soft palate. Conclusion: The knowledge of a varied spectrum of velar morphology and the variants of the soft palate help in a better understanding of the velopharyngeal closure and craniofacial anomalies.

Jayeeta Verma,Sidharth Verma,Sumanthini V Margasahayam 대한치과마취과학회 2022 Journal of Dental Anesthesia and Pain Medicine Vol.22 No.5

Background: Postoperative endodontic pain is an enigma for the dentist. This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic effect of 300 mg gabapentin or 75 mg pregabalin in reducing postoperative endodontic pain compared with a placebo. Methods: Ninety patients who needed root canal treatment with an initial numerical rating scale (NRS) pain score of > 4 (T0) were randomly divided into three groups (n=30). Patients were then administered either 300 mg gabapentin (group A), 75 mg pregabalin (group B), or a placebo (group C) 30 min prior to the start of endodontic treatment. A single operator performed single-visit endodontics, and pain was evaluated immediately after endodontic treatment (T1) and at 4 h (T2), 8 h (T3), 12 h (T4), 24 h (T5), 48 h (T6), and 72 h (T7) using the NRS. Ibuprofen/paracetamol (400 mg/325 mg) was administered as a rescue dose if needed. Results: Pregabalin performed significantly better when compared with gabapentin at all time points except at 72 h after treatment (P=0.170). The placebo group showed significantly higher pain scores than the other two groups. The percentage of pain relief was maximum for pregabalin (92.1%), followed by gabapentin (87.6%) and placebo (69.1%) at 72 h after treatment completion. Conclusion: This study showed that pretreatment with a single dose of pregabalin and gabapentin both had greater analgesic effects than a placebo. They can be effectively used to reduce postoperative endodontic pain.

Material Modeling and Springback Prediction of Ultra Thin Austenitic Stainless Steel Sheet

Rahul K. Verma,Satoko Murakoso,Kwansoo Chung,Toshihiko Kuwabara 한국소성가공학회 2010 기타자료 Vol.2010 No.6

The constitutive model with combined isotropic-kinematic hardening along with hardening stagnation (or permanent softening) [Verma, Kuwabara, Chung, Haldar: Int. J. Plasticity (submitted)] was used here for modeling the tension-compression behaviors of a 0.1 mm thick austenitic stainless steel sheet (SUS304), which was observed in a recent work [Kuwabara and Murakoso: Proc. CIRP 2010 Conf. (submitted)]. Springback was also experimentally measured for a shallow drawn rectangular cup here and it was verified using the above model. It was found that this model can successfully predict the Bauschinger effect and hardening stagnation. As for springback, it was found that in this particular case it depends on, other than the material model, factors like boundary conditions, in the finite element analysis (FEA), during unloading. It was also observed that incorporation of the Bauschinger effect and permanent softening is a key for accurate springback prediction and, therefore, the present model performs better than the one which is based only on isotropic hardening without any hardening stagnation.

Enhanced somatic embryogenesis, plant regeneration and total phenolic content estimation in Lycium barbarum L.: a highly nutritive and medicinal plant

Verma Sandeep Kumar,Gantait Saikat,Mukherjee Epsita,Gurel Ekrem 한국작물학회 2022 Journal of crop science and biotechnology Vol.25 No.5

Lycium barbarum (Solanaceae), commonly known as Goji (or wolfberry), is popular for its nutritive and medicinal properties and is called a “super fruit” or “super food”. Considering the importance of the economic utility, the potential of different explants (hypocotyl, leaf and root) of L. barbarumfor plant regeneration and somatic embryogenesis has been evaluated in the present study. Two sets of experiments were carried out; the first compared Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium suplemented with different concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), N6- benzylaminopurine (BAP), thidiazuron (TDZ), kinetin, and zeatin alone, while the second set tested the combinations of TDZ with 2,4-D to inducecallus and subsequent shoot or embryo formation, respectively. For callus and subsequent shoot induction (for the first set of experiment), 2,4-D was the most effective for callus induction (100%), while TDZ at 1 mg/L produced a mean of 5 shoots per callus. For the second set of experiment spontaneous induction of somatic embryos as well as subsequent maximum shoot regeneration was recorded as 0.25 mg/L 2,4-D and 1 mg/L TDZ supplemented medium. Hypocotyl explant proved to be the most responsive organ that induced as many as 6 somatic embryos and subsequent 9regenerated shoots per callus. Later, the plantlets were successfully acclimatized (100%) and finally transferred to the greenhouse. Total phenolic content was measured from shoot, brown callus and white callus of L. barbarum L. grown in MS medium supplemented with auxin alone (for callus) and auxin-cytokinin (for shoots). The highest amount of total phenolic content (640 mg GAE/g DW) was obtained in shoot. The described protocol provides a simple way to regenerate plants through direct and indirect organogenesis as well as somatic embryogenesis, which would be useful for mass propagation, large-scale production of secondary metabolites, germplasm conservation, and genetic transformation studies in this medicinally important species.

An Overview of Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 Polymorphism and Gastric Cancer Risk

Verma, Sugreev,Kesh, Kousik,Gupta, Arnab,Swarnakar, Snehasikta Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2015 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.16 No.17

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 9, a key member of multifunctional family of zinc dependent endopeptidases has been found to be upregulated during inflammation and in some cancers. MMPs cleave extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and play critical roles in cellular apoptosis, angiogenesis, tumor growth and metastasis. Several genetic polymorphisms have been identified that show allele specific effects on MMP9 regulation and are associated with gastric cancer, the fourth most common malignancy in the world. Besides Helicobacter pylori infection, genetic predisposition is another documented risk factor for gastric carcinoma. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at position -1562C/T of MMP9 results in the modulation for binding of transcription factors to the MMP9 gene promoter and thereby causes differences in protein expression and enzymatic activity. MMP9 transcriptional regulation during gastric cancer development remains poorly known although several studies have demonstrated associations between MMP9 -1562 C/T polymorphism with different diseases. Knowledge on mechanisms of MMP9 upregulation during gastric cancer may provide new paradigm in diagnostics and therapeutics.

Wind induced vibrations of long electrical overhead transmission line spans: a modified approach

Verma, Himanshu,Hagedorn, Peter Techno-Press 2005 Wind and Structures, An International Journal (WAS Vol.8 No.2

For estimating the vortex excited vibrations of overhead transmission lines, the Energy Balance Principle (EBP) is well established for spans damped near the ends. Although it involves radical simplifications, the method is known to give useful estimates of the maximum vibration levels. For very long spans, there often is the need for a large number of in-span fittings, such as in-span Stockbridge dampers, aircraft warning spheres etc. This adds complexity to the problem and makes the energy balance principle in its original form unsuitable. In this paper, a modified version of EBP is described taking into account in-span damping and in particular also aircraft warning spheres. In the first step the complex transcendental eigenvalue problem is solved for the conductor with in-span fittings. With the thus determined complex eigenvalues and eigenfunctions a modified energy balance principle is then used for scaling the amplitudes of vibrations at each resonance frequency. Bending strains are then estimated at the critical points of the conductor. The approach has been used by the authors for studying the influence of in-span Stockbridge dampers and aircraft warning spheres; and for optimizing their positions in the span. The modeling of the aircraft warning sphere is also described in some detail.
