Computerised calibration system for radiosonde pressure sensors

A computer bast1d data acquisition system has been designed for the calibration of pressure sensors used in MK III Indian radiosondes. The system can calibrate 64 baroswitchesin one cycle and gives a tabular printout of pressure values at various contact numbers. This replaces the analog type of recording system, which was in use for the last few decades. The present system gives better accuracy and resolution and avoids human judgement and errors.

An indigenous state-of-the-art Digital Automatic Recording System (DARS) for surface meteorological observatories

The existing self recording instruments of India Meteorological Department (IMD) urgently require modernization by considering the demand for its real time interface with the modern now-casting tools like Doppler Weather Radar (DWR), real time weather models etc. Hence IMD has designed and developed a state-of-the-art Digital Automatic Recording System (DARS) for the automatic measurement, storage, display and communication of meteorological parameters like Atmospheric pressure, Wind speed, Wind direction, Air temperature, Relative humidity and Rainfall. The system has its origin from the existing IMD make High Wind Speed Recording (HWSR) System installed at more than 15 coastal observatories in the eastern coast of India, by suitable integration with different types of electronic meteorological sensors available in the global market. Authors have participated at various stages of design, development, installation, and data validation of the system. This paper highlights the design aspects of indigenous system and its data quality with respect to imported AWS and ground truth observations and the proposal for its installation at selected villages in a district to study the spatial variation of Wind and Rainfall during Monsoon period.

Impact of COVID -19 on Gallstones Patients

Background: It is well known that most of the healthcare centers have redistributed their material and human resources to face the health issues associated with COVID-19 pandemic. Aims: In the current study, we aimed to investigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on gall stone patients. Methods: Comparison was conducted in our own center regarding gallstones related activities before, during and after the pandemic. We reviewed also the number of elective laparoscopic cholecystectomies during these periods. Data were obtained from the hospital recording system. Results: We found a significant increase in the number of gall stones related complications during the COVID-19 pandemic when compared with non-pandemic periods. Conclusion: It is recommended that laparoscopic cholecystectomies should be considered whenever possible, taking all relevant measures to avoid contagion of patients and the health team.

Language of Uzbek national dance art movements

This article examines the national-cultural lines of Uzbek dance, the language of subject dances, and their movements. Therefore, along with many other intangible cultural heritage values, it is necessary to pass on to future generations the rich experience accumulated in the art of Uzbek national dance. "Preservation of the art of dance, which embodies national values, customs, and traditions, as an ancient source of our spirituality and culture, the restoration of its disappearing forms and movements, terms, the nature of dance, its structure, performance features, objects, clothing, and jewelry. The scientific study of the role of performance in complement, refinement, and bleaching is one of the urgent tasks facing the executive choreographer, organizer, and researchers working in the field of dance. To this end, one of the important issues facing the scientific community is to improve the textual and video recording system of dance performances, as well as the creation of special terminology.

Zonisamide for the Efficacy of Sleep Abnormality in Parkinson's Disease (ZEAL Study): A Protocol for Randomized Controlled Trials

Background: Sleep disorders are one of the most frequent non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), and the efficacy of dopaminergic agents remains controversial. Clinical randomized control trials for the treatment of sleep disorders in PD are limited. Zonisamide (1,2-benzisoxazole-3-methanesulfonamide) improved motor symptoms and wearing-off in patients with PD. Patients with PD were reported to have dream-enacting behavior that was resolved after treatment with zonisamide. This study aimed to verify the safety and efficacy of zonisamide for sleep disorders and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavioral disorders using a mobile two-channel electroencephalography (EEG)/electrooculography (EOG) recording system.Methods and Analysis: The present study is a randomized placebo-controlled trial to determine the efficacy of zonisamide for sleep disorders in patients with PD. This study was designed to be single-blind, but the subject allocation is randomized by an independent allocation manager via computer-generated block randomization. The subjects in the treatment group took zonisamide (25 mg per day) before bedtime for 28 days. The sleep index is analyzed using a portable EEG/EOG recording system collected on two consecutive nights within 7 days prior to the intervention and reobtained on one night within 2 days after the 28-day administration of zonisamide. The amount of change in sleep efficiency before and after the 28-day administration will be compared between the zonisamide treatment group and placebo group concerning the primary endpoint. As for the secondary endpoint, the change in the ratio of other sleep parameters, including REM sleep without atonia, or sleep architecture will be evaluated.Ethics and Dissemination: The protocol was approved by the Nara Medical University Certified Review Board (CRB5200002). The trial was notified and registered with the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCTs051200160). Written informed consent will be obtained from every participant using informed consent approved by the CRB. The results of this trial will be disseminated through peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Dies Process Performance Improvement Maintenance With e-DMIS Based on Iot Technology

Improvement between departments within the company requires a mutually supportive system so that cooperation occurs between interrelated departments. This requires effort and commitment that needs to be supported by related share holders so that the occurrence of lost time during the production process can be minimized so that the planned time runs effectively and efficiently in increasing productivity. The difficulty in supervising and controlling the production process is the reason for knowing the abnormality in the process of replacing the dies and controlling the process of replacing printing equipment or dies for the Stamping process still using a manual system and the process recording system still using paper that is prone to loss and is engineered irresponsibly . The method used to create an electronic Dies replacement monitoring system by collecting problem data, comparing manual systems with several experiments and testing tools, using IoT in the form of PLC, HDMI as a tool for online communication. The DIMS monitoring system can be used to monitor and provide initial information when there is a request for the Dies replacement process so that replacement requests and needs in the process can be carried out immediately because they can be detected early.

Using the Telemetry System as an Element of the Engine Operation Monitoring System of UAS

The article presents an engineering approach that allows us to collect engine operation characteristics using built-in telemetry mechanisms, filled with the passive recording system. As a result of the development of the solution, the characteristics of the engine operation were obtained under real conditions, and the universal registration tool was built with a wider application than simply the registration of the engine operating parameters. The development of the solution allowed measurements to be obtained in a passive mode using a distributed architecture for engine monitoring and engine operation characteristics, which would be difficult to obtain and archive without logger production, especially during flight tests.
