Aim of the study: to determine the effectiveness of Swedish massage therapy on blood pressure among patients with hypertension in experimental group. Background: High blood pressure (BP) is a major public health problem in India and its prevalence is rapidly increasing among both urban and rural populations. In fact, hypertension is the most prevalent chronic disease in India. The higher the pressure in blood vessels the harder the heart has to work in order to pump blood.

Classroom management has been a primary concern for teachers since there have been teachers in the classroom. A lack of classroom management affects both the teacher and the students. This study explores classroom management tactics to help improve the academic achievement of elementary school students. Studies show that some form of intervention makes a positive impact on teachers, students, and the whole school climate. Teachers need to personally connect with each student in the classroom in order to make students feel comfortable and welcome.

Endophytic microorganisms asymptomatically colonize healthy plant tissues and may be related to the plant's resistance to attack by pathogens or even to the synthesis of secondary metabolites. The present study was aimed at isolating and characterizing endophytic strains from the leaves, stems and roots (aerial and non aerial parts) of Mentha piperita (Lamiaceae). Coarse and fine leaves, stems and root fragments after surface sterilization with internal procedures were collected to isolate endophytes.

This paper presents a view about the HMM-DNN hybrid approach for speech recognition. Speech recognition is becoming an active research area in the field of computer science. Many researchers have developed a good deal of methods and techniques for speech recognition. A new trend is to use hybrid approaches for this particular task. One of this hybrid approaches is to use a combination of HMM-DNN and the result is found to be quiet successful. From study it has been found that the above approach outperforms the other traditional methods like GMM-HMM.

The present paper examines the current status of ayurvedic medical college libraries in Gulbarga division, and also discusses the various aspects of the libraries such as Library staff, Budget allocation, Library collection, ICT facilities, and services in the library, under study are presented.

To fulfill the need of higher bandwidth, increased number of users, increased speed of communication of current users, the WDM and fiber optic concept was developed. WDM stands for wavelength division multiplexing where many input signals are combined together and transfers as a single input. Multiplexing and de-multiplexing concepts are used in WDM. WDM system consist of amplifiers that are used to increase the performance of the optical fiber system. This study give information about the working of Hybrid amplifiers i.e.

This paper shows a mechanism for hydrogen combustion, an important submechanism in hydrocarbon oxidation and biofuels. Once exposed the equations derived from the chemical kinetics and concentration rates of each species involved, the complete mechanism of hydrogen oxidation is displayed. The strategy for obtaining a reduced mechanism with two reactions consists of four steps. This method involves the use of assumptions of steady-state for species and partial equilibrium for reactions.

The goal of this study was to quantify memory utilization under varying work load for plain text file systems to database system with customization of existing deadline I/O scheduler. The investigation identified possibility of performance enhancement by modifying existing deadline I/O scheduler by optimizing rearrangement of blocks numbers from kernel to device drivers where the sequence of block numbers undergoes clustering via k-means clustering and later re-arranged so the disk's head movement is minimized.

The main objective of this paper was to apply the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) through Geographical Information System (GIS) in the Cubatão do Norte watershed, in Joinville and Garuva municipalities of Santa Catarina State. The map of annual estimated soil loss by water erosion showed minimum erosion rates of 429.28, average of 854.61 and maximum of 1,579.49 t/ha/year. Soil loss due to water erosion in the Cubatão do Norte watershed can be considered low, since 97.58% of the basin area presented none or slight annual average soil loss, ranging from 0 to 10 t/ha/year.

In this paper we present an analytical solution for advection-diffusion equation, which models the problem of contaminant dispersion in rivers and canals. Therefore, are considered the two-dimensional vertical and three-dimensional models in steady state. The models are valid for variables velocity profiles and turbulent diffusivities. The approach for the resolution of models is the GILTT method. We also present numerical simulations.
