Word count: 3720. An investigation into the use of cord treatments on the new-borns umbilical cord and the reduction of infection. A Literature Review. INTRODUCTION. The purpose of this literature review is to examine the evidence surrounding umbilical cord care in the new-born and what part the use of topical treatments play (if any) in the reduction of infection to the new-born infant. The umbilical cord is a unique tissue consisting of two arteries and one vein. Wharton’s jelly surrounds the vessels. During pregnancy the umbilical cord assists the placenta by transporting nutrients and waste products to and from the fetus. (Fraser, M. et al 2009). Following delivery of the neonate the cord goes through a process were it dries out, hardens and turns black. The area goes through a process of colonization due to non-pathogenic organisms that pass from mum to baby via skin to skin contact following delivery. The umbilical vessels remain patent for several days following birth and are a susceptible site for infection. Potentially harmful organisms can be spread by cross infection, often caused by poor hand washing techniques of Healthcare workers and the infant’s carers. (Davies, S. 2008). The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports each year one third of neonatal...

...direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). A standard procedure and specimen had been used in the present study to find the wear behavior. Using Taguchi’s experimental technique, an orthogonal array of modified L8 had been developed. Sliding wear testing using pin-on-disk machine was carried out and analysis of variance (ANOVA) technique was used to investigate the effect of process parameters and to identify the main process parameter that influences the properties of wear behavior on the DMLS components. It has been found that part orientation, one of the selected process parameter had more influence on wear as compared to other selected process parameters. Keywords—ANOVA, DMLS, Taguchi, Wear. I. INTRODUCTION The major advantage of this process is it can use wide range of metal powders such as direct steel, bronze based powder etc. the Cu-based metal powders are also being used for purity and better surface finishing [2]. The major drawback for this process is the surface finish [3] and the wear [4] of the material. An experimental study on the sliding wear behavior of in situ Cu-TiB2 nano-composites fabricated by the reaction of pure titanium and copper-boron on a pin-on-disk wear tester under dry sliding conditions, rubbing against medium carbon steel disk at sliding speed ranging from 0.089 to 0.445 m/s and at loads between 20 N and 140 N. From the experiment it was found that the hardness, yield strength and wear resistance...

It is celebrated by throwing aromatic colours powders and fragrances at each other. In early times, Colours for Holi were prepared from various parts of trees such as flowers, leaves, fruits and many more. Some of them are Indian coral tree (Parijat), flame of forest (Kesu), marigold, turmeric (Haldi), henna, and beetroot. In modern time, with the arrival of dry compound colours, people stopped taking pence for extracting the flowers colours and the use of chemical colours in Holi is increasing day by day. These chemical colours are not only extremely hazardous to skin but also are unsafe for the environment. This festival of Holi is being notable till today in many countries of the world. INTRODUCTION Holi is a sacred spring festival renowned by Hindus. Holi is celebrated in countries such as India, Nepal, and countries with huge Indian populations of Hinduism, such as in Malaysia, Guyana, South Africa, Trinidad, United Kingdom, United States of...

...Polymorphism: Its application in the development of pharmaceutical dosage form Polymorphism comes from the Greek words, Polus = many and morph = shape. Polymorphism means existence of substance in more than one form. Many pharmaceutical solids can exist in different physical forms. Polymorphism is often characterized as the ability of a drug substance to exist as two or more crystalline phases that have different arrangements and/or conformations of the molecules in the crystal lattice. However, they share one common form once they are in solution form. Polymorphism is very important in those areas of chemical research where full characterization of a material has a pivotal role in determining its ultimate use e.g. in pharmaceutical, pigment, agrochemical, explosive and fine chemical industries. When polymorphism exists as a result of difference in crystal packing, it is called packing polymorphism. Polymorphism can also result from the existence of different conformers of the same molecule in conformational polymorphism. In pseudo polymorphism the different crystal types are the result of hydration or solvation. The types of different polymorphic forms are shown below: Fig: Types of different polymorphic forms Polymorphs seem to be more common for compounds with: * Low solubility in water * Organic salts * Formation of hydrates for larger molecules * Organic solvates –neutral compounds with larger molecular weights. * Compounds with molecular...

...opportunity to develop their existing formats which could enable them to offer a superior value for its customers. Moreover, more adaptive companies are entering the market with new concepts that are more responsive for the consumer’s changing preferences (Esquivias et. al., 2010). The construction industry is also highly connected with innovations in terms of achieving efficiency and cost effectiveness (NRC, 2013). This report will be based on the innovative concrete products, particularly analyzing Ultra-High Performance Concrete. Furthermore, other existing modern trends and issues of concrete industry are also will be examined in brief. Concrete industry According to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (2012), concrete plays a significant role in the modern world. Being used for construction of the majority hospitals, residential and commercial buildings, schools, bridges, runways, roads it actually shapes the built environment around us (WBCSD, 2012). Moreover, with global annual concrete production of almost 3 tons per every human in the world, it is become the most used man made material in the world. Additionally, comparing to the other building materials such as steel, plastic, wood and aluminium the amount of concrete used globally is twice as much than all of them together (WBCSD, 2012). The modern construction industry trends are closely linked with innovations of new materials, improvement of construction techniques and research is done continuously...

This evidence would then be sent to be analysed by more forensic scientists in different subdivisions to help led a path to a final suspect, thus leading the police to a quick and successful conviction of a criminal and bring justice to their crimes. Overall this revolution of the police force saw the birth of a new era of fighting crime throughout the whole of the country, as well as throughout the rest of the world. How the evolution of different forensic techniques changed the way other countries conducted forensic investigations more effectively. On the other hand, the revolutionised police force, and how forensic science came into play, did not have a dramatic affect in the early stages of its first use due to a number of reasons. However this history of how forensic science became a beneficial...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 THE DAIRY INDUSTRY India is the world’s largest producer of dairy products by volume and it also has the world’s largest dairy herd with 194mn cows and 155mn buffaloes. The country accounts for more than 13% of world’s total milk production and is also the world’s largest consumer of dairy products, consuming almost all of its own milk production. Milk production in India has developed significantly in the past few decades from a low volume of 17 million tons in 1951 to 127.3 million tonnes in 2012. Currently, the Indian dairy market is growing at an annual rate of 7%. Dairying has helped in alleviating poverty and providing employment opportunities to many people in the rural areas. From being milk deficient country in the 1950’s it has now been able to increase the milk production in spite of the population growth. The main objective of the Indian Dairy Industry is to manage the national resources in a manner to enhance milk production and upgrade milk processing using innovative technologies. Many dairy co-operatives have come up nowadays which have helped India in boosting up the dairy production in India. India has also been facing a lot of trade problems in dairy industry, because of the unorganised nature of this sector. However with the initiatives of milk cooperatives coming up this problem is now being intervened. This industry has a lot of potential for export of dairy products because it is located near the milk deficient...
