Radio climatology of Rajasthan

Based on 30-year averages of the values of atmospheric pressure, temperature and vapour pressure near the ground surface, value's of radio refractive indices for 18 stations of Rajasthan State and adjoining area near and within international border line, have been computed. Using these data, monthly and annual distributions of radio refractive indices over the area for both morning and evening have been describe-d and discussed which may be useful in radiowave propagation in the area.

GIS-MULTI CRITERIA DECISION ANALYSIS FOR LAND ALLOCATION IN CONFLICTING PURPOSE Case Study: Adjoining Area of D’Aguilar National Park, Brisbane, Australia

<p>While there are much research has been conducted to apply the Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) and Geographic Information System (GIS) method to determine the suitability area for a particular purpose, only limited research has tried to examine the different approach to apply this method for the conflicting purpose. One area that has the potential to experience land use conflict in the future is the adjoining area of D’Aguilar National Park, Brisbane, Australia, due to the presence of biodiversity landscape value that needs to be protected. The objective of this paper is to allocate an area for each both residential development and conservation area in the adjoining area of D’Aguilar National Park. This research covers the method of GIS in processing the MCDA to develop the model which has many factors to support the decision making, including for the conflicting purpose. Moreover, the method also used GIS-fuzzy MCDA or widely known as GIS-Fuzzy MCDA (GIS-FMCDA). The result of this research shows that allocating the conflicting land area is quite different from the non-conflicting one. Applying MCDA for the conflicting purpose requires different decision making to show which area would be optimal to allocate.</p>

A prospective clinical study on homologous autoinoculation in anogenital wart

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Ano-genital wart, an infection of the anal and genital mucosa with their adjoining area is caused by human papilloma virus. Genital warts pose a bigger challenge, because of the lack of cell mediated immunity and its propensity to relapse and the reluctance of patients to consult a physician. The main aim of our study is to determine whether autoinoculation is effective in treatment of ano-genital warts.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> 25 cases of anogenital warts of either sex, who attended RTI/STI clinic in Chengalpattu Medical College from September 2017 to September 2018. The study design was prospective. A detailed history taking, thorough clinical examination and appropriate relevant investigations were done for all the patients who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Autoinoculation was done for those patients. They were assessed periodically for clinical outcome.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> A sample size of 25 patients (20 men and 5 women) was included in the study. After 3 months of therapy 8 (32%) patients recovered completely and more than 75% improvement occurred in another 7 (28%) patients. At 6 months 15 (60%) patients showed complete resolution. No significant complication was documented.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Autoinoculation is a single time minimal invasive procedure effective in management of anogenital wart. It also reduces the recurrence of lesions.</p>
