Two Sex model for Horizontal Transmission of STD in a constant
homogeneous mixing population
Umar Malllam Abdulkarim
Abstract :In this paper, we examined the two sex model of
Hsieh4 and Kimbir et
al.,5, and extended these models to study transmission dynamics of
socially transmitted disease,( STD ) in a proportional mixing population with
vital dynamics, and no disease induced death. Our major focus is to reduce the cost
of disease intervention towards eradication of curable STD, like gonorrhea
and others, which is better achieved through preventive measure rather than
treatment, a concept that is cheaper and affordable, in developing economies like ours.
We have proposed a variant of the Kimbir et
al.,5 model of prevention of HIV / AIDS in a varying population to study the transmission dynamics of
STD. Stability of the equilibriums states are discussed via the reproductive ratio of
the infection and the Routh - Hurwitz conditions on the model parameters.
Threshold conditions for eradication and persistent of the disease are derived and
interpretation are discussed.
Key words: Equilibrium states, reproductive ratio, Epidemics
threshold, STD, stability. |

Optimal reserve inventory between two machines under scbz property of interarrival
times between breakdowns
S. Srinivasan*, A. Sulaiman** and
R. Sathiyamoorthi***
Abstract : A system in which there are two machines in series is considered.
The output of the first machine M1 is the input for the second machine
M2. When machine M1 undergoes breakdown, the repair time of the same is taken to be
a random variable. The machine M2 will be forced to be idle if there is no
supply from M1. A reserve inventory between
M1 and M2 is suggested so as to
avoid the idle time of M2. So the determination of optimal reserve inventory
between M1 and M2 has been attempted by several authors, taking the different
associated costs. In this paper the optimal size of reserve inventory is derived under
the assumption that the random variable which denotes interarrival times
between successive breakdowns of M1 satisfies the so called
"Setting the Clock Back to Zero"
(SCBZ) property.
Key words : Series system, Optimal reserve, SCBZ Property. |

P. SINGH and N. P. SINGH
Abstract : In the present paper laminar flow of an incompressible conducting, viscous fluid in an inclined rectangular channel with free surface exposed to
the atmosphere is studied under the influence of uniform magnetic field. The
bottom of the rectangular channel moves in its own plane with a velocity which decreases exponentially with time. The uniform magnetic field acts normal to
the flow. The velocity field of the fluid to obtain using finite Fourier sine
transform and Laplace transform. The results of some earlier authors have been deduced
as particular cases of this study. |

resolution of some initial value problems of ordinary
differential equations. We hereby consider a collocation approach
at the various interpolation points to obtain a set of k-multistep methods which
are then implemented as a block method. Thus requiring no initial starting values
and no predictors are required. The set of methods are of uniform order and
A-stable.

Effect of Vaccination and Population Area Size on the Transmission Dynamics of Bird- Flu Epidemics in a
Proportionate Mixing Population
Umar M. A.
Abstract : We have examined the effect of vaccination, and population area size
on the transmission dynamics of bird flu epidemics in a poultry farm, using
two class of models, an age -structured epidemic model and a homogeneous
epidemics model in which the transmission rate in the case of homogeneous model,
is assumed not age-depended, while it is assumed age-dependent in the
age-structured model. The per capital contact rate and the vital rates are assumed not
age depended. It is observed in both cases, that the area size occupied by the
population influences the rate of transmission of the virus. Wild birds, which are
normally on free range, are observed to be responsible for the spread of the virus
to poultry farms; however the transmission rate may be less than in poultry
birds, due to their free range nature. This is not investigated this work. This is
assumed to has helped to control the concentration of the wild birds population density
in a particular location, where they are found, and less per capital contact
rate. Thus, the disease spread is minimal. Threshold parameters for both models
are examined to determine the stability of the non -trivial steady states.

MHD Free Convection Flow of a Viscous Fluid
with Heat Source in Rotating System
AJAY KUMAR SINGH*, Y. K. SHARMA, M. K. YADAV and N. P. SINGH
Abstract : Free convection effects in unsteady flow of an incompressible,
electrically conducting, viscous liquid in a porous medium past an infinite isothermal, porous vertical plate with constant suction velocity in the presence of a
heat source and transverse uniform magnetic field in a rotating system is studied. It
is observed that an increase in heat source parameter or rotation parameter decreases primary velocity but increases secondary velocity. The effects
of magnetic parameter or Grashof number on these velocities are noted in
reverse order.

A cryptographic model with intrusion detection capability
Abayomi Joshua Jegede* and Salami Hamza Onoruoiza**
Abstract :The goal of this study is to develop a hybrid security model
which combines the strengths of encryption with the capabilities of intrusion
detection. The research conducts an exploratory study of the subject of encryption
and intrusion detection. The model proposed here is a program model which
is implemented as a totally decentralized distributed application consisting of
three main systems (or modules): the encryption system, decryption system
and intrusion detection system). These subsystems work together to achieve
the overall objectives of the hybrid cryptosystem. The system flowchart is used to illustrate how each of the
program module functions as well as their interactions in an overall system. Visual
Basic is used as the language of implementation because it is highly interactive and
has extensive support for modularity. The strength of this model is in its
flexibility which provides the means for the security administrator to change
the cryptographic keys as frequently as necessary.
Key words : Cryptography, plaintext, ciphertext, encryption,
decryption, key, intrusion detection. |

Trie-like Structure for Implementation of Porter Stemming Algorithm
K. Thammi Reddy¹, M.
Shashi2 and L. Prathap Reddy³
Abstract : Modern information retrieval is focused on the extraction of key
terms from documents to aid in the accessing and navigation of web pages and
electronic information. These key terms are used to represent a document in the
search space. Relevance of a document for a query is determined in terms of presence
or absence of common key terms. The obvious solution is to test for
absolute matching of the key terms present in the query and the terms in the
documents. However, the key terms may have many morphological variants that share
similar semantic interpretations and it may be beneficial for the information
retrieval system to consider these terms equivalent. The process of Stemming
transforms morphological variants of a word into the root by removing the suffix and re-coding the remaining, if required. The transformation required for stemming
a specific word will be decided based on the suffix of the word. Hence it is
appropriate to accommodate all possible suffices/ending list in a structure that
supports efficient matching of suffices with the ending of a word to be stemmed.
We devised a Trie-like data structure for accommodating the ending list and
appropriately suggesting the transformation procedures. We have implemented the most
widely used stemmer algorithm known as Porter stemmer using the Trie-like
structure and proved its efficiency compared to the standard implementation of
Porter stemmer available for public on www. This paper presents the details of implementation and comparative analysis.

A probabilistic model of resource allocation for
predicting the meantime between deadlocks
*Moses E. EKPENYONG and Udoma J. BASSEY
Abstract : In this paper we predict the meantime between deadlocks by
developing a probabilistic model. With the model, we simulate using Visual Basic, three
sets of meantime inputs: (1,5,10,...,50), (100,150,200,...,500) and
(1000,150,...,5000) secs, days, weeks, months, etc, and obtain results under a 100% deadlock
likelihood. Simulated results show that on the average and at any given time interval,
for resources to perform a number of tasks concurrently, at least a deadlock is
likely to occur at every sixteenth time.

Estimation of Expected Time to Cross the Antigenic
Diversity Threshold of HIV Infected
R. Kannan, K.A. Venkatachalam, R.
Sathiyamoorthi and *G. Malarvizhi
Abstract : In the study of HIV infection and its consequences the seroconversion
of the infected is a vital event. The estimation of the expected time to cross
the antigenic diversity threshold of the HIV infected over the time interval (0,t] is
an important aspect which helps medical intervention. The interarrival times between successive sexual contacts of a non-infected with an infected is
important factor that determines the expected time to seroconversion of the
infected. Sathiyamoorthi and Kannan6 have obtained the expected time to
seroconversion and its variance when interarrival times are i.i.d random variables and also
the case where they are correlated, assuming the threshold distribution as
exponential. In this paper it is assumed that the intercontact times between
successive contacts are correlated random variables and the threshold distribution is
gamma which does not satisfy the LMP property. Shock model with
correlated intercontact time has been studied by
Sathiyamoorthi5. In developing this
model the results of Gurland2 has been used. The mean time to cross the
antigenic diversity threshold and its variance are derived and numerical
illustrations are provided.
Key words: Human Immuno-deficiency Virus, Antigenic diversity threshold, intercontact times, Seroconversion, Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome.

Reddy* and K. Sudhakar Babu1
Abstract : The measurements of total concentration and mass-size distribution
of near-surface aerosols noted using a ten-channel Quartz Crystal Micro
balance (QCM). QCM is operated at hourly intervals for 4-5 days in every month
and the data for the years 2000 & 2001 at dry subhumid and semi-arid zone,
Anantapur (14.62°N;77.65°E) is considered. The data is generally used to study the response of aerosol characteristics to regional mesoscale and synoptic
processes. In this paper, we attempt to introduce dynamic stochasticity through
Markov model and employ a well-known technique of ABC - Analysis generally
known as Pareto Analysis to aerosol mass size distribution data and predict future
state probabilities of aerosol mass size distribution through steady state. To our
knowledge, this is the first time that such a methodology is developed synthesizing
techniques in the theories of Operations Research and Stochastic Processes to probe
into the random phenomenon of aerosol mass-size distributions. The theoretical
results are well supported by empirical work on the aerosol mass sizes.

A Study of an Integral Transform and Fractional Integral Operator involving Generalized
Mellin-Barnes Type Contour Integral
KANTESH GUPTA and VANDANA AGRAWAL
Abstract : In the present paper, we first define an integral transform whose
kernel is generalized Mellin Barnes type contour integral which is popularly known
in the literature as
-function. Further, we define a fractional integral operator
of general arguments and having
-function as its kernel. Next, we establish
an interesting theorem involving the image of our earlier defined integral
transform in the fractional integral operator of our study. Then, we establish three
new corollaries of our main theorem involving functions that are of interest by
themselves. The importance of the present study lies in the fact that all our findings
are unified and general in nature. Several new results can be obtained from our
main theorem and corollaries as their special cases. We give here exact reference to
two known results.

Planning and Selection of Field Operations through
Decision Support System
P.K. Butey and Karan Singh*
Abstract : The power and machinery is the single largest cost
component constituting about 60% of the total investment cost on mechanized
farm. Thus, the profit of a farm depends, to a great extent, on the appropriate
mechanization and planning of the farm. The main constraint in the planning of
farm mechanization has been due to the complexity of available machinery systems
and their diversity with respect to type, size, number and operational
characteristics. The complexity and importance of agricultural operations
management has also increased as agriculture have adapted capital-intensive
production systems stimulating the development of more formal planning and
monitoring techniques. Planning being adapted include decision support systems
aimed at achieving better production control. Specifically, this project
addresses operational planning or scheduling of field operations. The planning
procedure involves the allocation of time and resources to activities
considering inherent uncertainty and risks. The method used is applied decision
analysis together with the principles of Bayesian networks. |

Some new identites of the Rogers-Ramanujan type-I
P. Rajkhowa and Shaikh Fokor Uddin Ali Ahmed*
Abstract : In this paper, we derive some new identities of the Rogers -
Ramanujan type related to modulo 17,19,51 and 57 using multiple summations.
Historical development : The following two identities, for |q|<l, namely
and
are the celebrated Rogers- Ramanujan identities. These two identities have
motivated extensive research over the past 100 years. These identities were first
discovered and proved by L.J. Rogers in 1894. In 1913, Srinivasa Ramanujan, unaware
of Rogers' work, obtained the results independently. In 1917, I.J. Schur of
Germany, again discovered these identities independently.
In the ensuing decades, Ramanujan, Rogeres, G.N. Watson, W.N.
Bailey, L.J. Slater and others discovered several other identities of different
moduli. More recently the work of G.E. Andrews needs special mention. A. Verma
and V.K. Jain have done some good work.
There are two aspects of these identities : the analytical aspect and
the combinatorial aspect. In these paper we study only the analytical
aspect.

DESHMUKH2
Abstract : In recent years, advances in molecular genetics technologies such as
DNA microarrays allow for the first time to obtain a "global" view of the cell.
Researchers can now routinely investigate the biological molecular state of a cell
measuring the simultaneous expression of tens of thousands of genes using DNA
microarrays. In the present work, the datamining for such a DNA microarray data has been
focused in greater details. To fulfill this need datamining technique has
been developed based on the analysis of literature profiles generated by extracting
the frequencies of certain terms from thousands of abstracts stored in the
Medline literature database. The 'cell slide images' have been processed to
calculate different gene values in the particular slide which in turn maintain the
database for cluster analysis and visualization which helps to compare database of
DNA sample images for disease diagnosis . The diseases taken into consideration in
the present work are cancer, hepatatis and diabetis.

Flow in a rotating porous annulus of variable
permeability due to suction and injection
K. Jayarami Reddy1, G. Venkata Ramana
Reddy2 and N. BhaskaR Reddy3
Abstract : We consider a highly porous material occupying the annular region between two coaxial infinitely long cylinders. A viscous incompressible
fluid fills the porous medium and is initially in a state of rigid rotation together
with the medium. The porous annulus is partly of constant permeability (up to
some radius) and the rest is of variable permeability, in such a way that the
permeability is a continuous function of radius in the entire annulus. The flow has
been disturbed by imposing suction/ injection at the outer/ inner cylindrical
boundary respectively. The rate of injection at the inner cylinder is equal to the rate
of suction at the outer cylinder. The Brinkman's law has been used to represent
the motion in the porous medium. We consider the steady flow corresponding to
this problem. An exact analytical solution is obtained in terms of
Bessel functions. The manner in which the steady boundary layer gets modified by
the presence of a variable permeability has been examined. It has been
established that by a careful choice of variable permeability of the medium, the flow can
be regulated so as to make the velocity nearly constant in the entire channel
except in the boundary layer on the source and the sink. The results are compared
with the already existing theories in the case of constant permeability.
