ABSTRACT- Diabetes mellitus, an impaired blood glucose status is a major cause for loss of valuable human life. The
important risk factors include: High familial aggregation, insulin resistance, lifestyle changes due to rapid urbanization
and obesity specially central one. This study was carried out in diabetics (study group) & non-diabetic (control group)
women of 30-50 years age. They were subjected to anthropometric measurement and body composition assessment by
bioelectrical impedance analysis. This include waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), waist hip ratio (WHR),
body mass index (BMI), body fat % (BF %) and lean body mass % (LBM %). It was found that the BMI of study group
was significantly higher as compared to that of controls. Values of WC and WHR were significantly higher in Type 2 DM
women than control. This shows that there is association of abdominal obesity (WC and WHR) with Type 2 DM. BF %
gives the relative percentage of fat in human body. BF% was significantly high in diabetic women than in control. Mean
value of body fat % in study group was 35.67±3.03% while that of controls was 28.29±2.66%. This shows that Asians
having higher BF % at low BMI values and also individuals with a similar BMI can vary considerably in their abdominal
fat mass. In such a situation, body fat would constitute the only true measure of obesity. Key-words- Body Composition, Bioelectrical impedance, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract
We report a web-based tool for analysis of experiments using indirect calorimetry to measure physiological energy balance. CalR simplifies the process to import raw data files, generate plots, and determine the most appropriate statistical tests for interpretation. Analysis using the generalized linear model (which includes ANOVA and ANCOVA) allows for flexibility in interpreting diverse experimental designs, including those of obesity and thermogenesis. Users also may produce standardized output files for an experiment that can be shared and subsequently re-evaluated using CalR. This framework will provide the transparency necessary to enhance consistency, rigor, and reproducibility. The CalR analysis software will greatly increase the speed and efficiency with which metabolic experiments can be organized, analyzed per accepted norms, and reproduced and has become a standard tool for the field. CalR is accessible at https://CalRapp.org/
The top 4 key questions that our tool can answer:
1. Can I reproducibly and transparently analyze indirect calorimetry experiments in under 10 minutes?
2. How hard is it to use Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to determine whether my groups of animals are significantly different?
3. Is there an automated, reproducible way to exclude “noisy” outlier data from our indirect calorimetry experiments?
4. What are the key factors in determining metabolic rate of mice?

In vivo characterization of breast tissue by non-invasive bio-impedance measu...ijbesjournal
Biological tissues have complex electrical impedance related to the tissue dimension, the internal structure
and the arrangement of the constituent cells. Since different tissues have different conductivities and
permittivities, the electrical impedance can provide useful information based on heterogeneous tissue
structures, physiological states and functions. In vivo bio-impedance breast measurements proved to be a
dependable method where these measurements can be adopted to characterize breast tissue into normal
and abnormal by a developed normalized coefficient of variation (NCV) as a numerical criterion of the bioimpedance
measurements. In this study 26 breasts in 26 women have been scanned with a homemade
Electrical Bio-impedance System (EBS). Characteristic breast conductivity and permittivity measurements
emerged for Mammographically normal and abnormal cases. CV and NCV are calculated for each case,
and the value of NCVs greater than 1.00 corresponds to abnormalities, particularly tumours while NCVs
less than 1.00 correspond to normal cases. The most promising results of (NCV) for permittivity at 1 MHz,
it detects 73% of abnormal cases including 100% tumor cases while it detects 82% of normal cases. The
numerical criterion NCV of in-vivo bio-impedance measurements of the breast appears to be promising in
breast cancer screening.
A Study Of Age At Menarche And Body Composition In School Girls Of Metro citiesijcite
Two thousand and seventeen subjects of various schools from two important metro cities in Maharashtra namely Mumbai and Pune in the age group of 10-14 year were studied to examine association between age at menarche and body composition. Data was collected through General Questionnaire & their body composition was assessed using analyzer (Tanita model no. BC 420 PM A). Out of the total sample, 370 students with mean age 12.35 year ±1.009 had attained menarche (AM) in the recent period of their recruitment whereas 1,646 girls had not attained menarche meaning they were perimenarcheal (PM) at the recruitment with mean age 11.42 year ±1.065. A concerning fact established by our study was that 10% of girls
from our population had attained menarche when they were just 11 yrs and 52.18% girls had attained menarche before they were 12 years of age. Results showed that All the body composition parameter except total body water percentage (TBW %) were higher in AM group compared to PM group. It was observed that fat percentage and fat mass was negatively
correlated with age at menarche which was statistically significant at 0.01 levels. Fat free mass, muscle mass, TBW (kg) were weakly negatively correlated whereas TBW (%) was positively correlated with age at menarche which was statistically significant at 0.01 levels.

Alteration of iron stores in women of reproductive age with HIV in Abidjan (C...Open Access Research Paper
The aim of this study is to evaluate and to characterize the iron metabolism in women of reproductive age infected by VIH in Abidjan. In order to review the iron stores in women of reproductive age, 180 women were recruited in a specialized center for treatment of HIV (ICBRA) based on the criteria for inclusion and exclusion. The mean age of women was 34.7 ± 0.5 years with extremes of 18 and 45 years. These women were classified into two groups of subjects namely 120 HIV positive women and 60 HIV negative as control women. Blood samples were taken from each of the selected women. Assays of various biological indicators (haematological and biochemical parameters) assessment of iron status were performed by different kits adequate for the automatic COBAS INTEGRA 400 Plus. The results of our investigations have demonstrated that all the searched biological has been degraded in enrolled women. Indeed our study found that for all subjects 79.4 % of women reported an abnormal iron status namely 71.7 % and 83.3 % respectively in control women and women with HIV. Abnormal iron status consisted of iron deficiency, iron deficiency anaemia, inflammatory anaemia and inflammatory anaemia associated with iron deficiency. Among the observed various components of iron status, inflammatory anaemia revealed the high prevalence rates in both groups of subjects (46.7 % vs 67.5 %). Our findings have then indicated that HIV infection has dramatically altered iron stores in women of reproductive especially those living with HIV/AIDS.
ABSTRACT- Background: Declining trend in semen quality is receiving attention worldwide. The aim of the study to investigate the role of lifestyle factors with respect to semen quality.
Methods: Semen samples were collected from 351 male partners attending OPD of Obstetrics and Gynecology at civil hospital and IKD hospital, Ahmedabad, India. They were subjected to assess the quality of semen according to WHO criteria and semen quality were analyzed with respect to self reported history of tobacco smoking and/or chewing and alcohol consumption as lifestyle factors.
Results: The result revealed that sperm count was lower in subjects with habit of tobacco smoking, chewing and alcohol consumption as compared to subjects without such habits and decline was found statistically significant among smokers. Total progressive motility and normal morphology percentage was significantly decreased in tobacco chewers compared to non-chewers. Further analysis of data with respect to alcohol consumption indicated non-significantly lower total progressive motility and normal sperm morphology percentage as compared to subjects with no such habit.
Conclusion: The data obtained suggested, the role of lifestyle factors especially tobacco smoking and chewing in declining semen quality.

Predicting volume of distribution for drug compounds using decision treesNithyakalyani Chinnaiah
The project is about improving the prediction accuracy of numerical value of volume of
distribution (VD), which is a proportionality constant for drug compounds. While there have been many approaches using regression with decision trees to predict VD, very few research studies have been carried out using classification scheme. This project proposes a method where the two approaches are combined with the addition of a classification confidence measure. The two stage classification-regression approach is studied with six different data divisions. In the proposed approach, a test drug’s class is predicted using molecular structures as attributes and if the prediction confidence is higher than a predetermined threshold, the log VD value is obtained using regression decision tree built for the particular class. If the classification prediction is not high, then the approach resorts to standard regression to obtain log VD value. This two stage approach seems to be promising as the cross validated performances are improved as compared to standard regression approach for two of the studied data divisions (one third and one fifth divisions) that gave geometric mean fold errors (GMFE) of 2.1502 and 2.2013 as compared to the standard regression GMFE of 2.2373 and 2.2356, respectively.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

Methods: Data of reference (1) included vital information about body composition of 60 Indian females such
as age, TBW, FFM, height, weight, impedance and phase at 5KHz., 50KHz., 100KHz. and 200 KHz.. This data
was then used to calculate the impedance index i.e. ( height2
/impedance) at the respective frequencies. This
method uses multiple regression analysis to drive prediction equation of Indian females at frequencies of
5KHz.,50KHz.,100KHz.,200KHz., As we Know that in multiple regression analysis wherein the main aim is to
predict dependent variable from the no. of independent variables that are known which is called dependent
variable from 1 or more independent variable also called as predictor variable. One more theme in developing
prediction equation of Here in this study we used TBW and FFM as dependent variable and Weight of females
and Impedance index i.e.(height2
/impedance) as independent variable at different frequencies of 5
KHz.,50KHz.,100KHz.,200KHz respectively. Data was fed then into R software, an integrated suite of software
facilities used for data manipulation, calculation and graphical display. It is used for effective data handling and
storage facility. The main use of R software is for regression analysis, which was then used to generate the
prediction equation. The prediction developed here is through multiple regression analysis. In multiple
regression analysis the equation is of the form given below;
Y=m1x1+ m2x2+ m3x3+...........+mnxn+ c; where c is intercept and m1,m2,m3…..mn are the weight’s assigned to
each of the predictor variables by the regression solution.
Result: Data used in commercial software provided 8 BIA equations; 4 for TBW and 4 for FFM at frequencies
of 5 KHz, 50KHz, 100 KHZ and 200 KHz. And so 8 sets of dependent variable were there, This data included
other statistical data such as mean, standard deviation and correlation of Total Body Water (TBW) and Fat Free
Mass(FFM) with Impedance index and Weight. Besides this scatter matrix plot for Total Body Water (TBW)
and Fat free Mass (FFM) ,Normal distribution of standardised residuals showing the relationship between TBW
ABSTRACT
Background: The Bioelectrical Impedance analysis is an easy, applicable method for assessing Total
Body water and Fat Free Mass of various groups of people. It has many advantages over other
methods and is safe, rapid, portable, easy to perform and require minimum operator training. It has
been used extensively for developing specific prediction equation for different ethnicity, age, gender,
level of body fatness and physical activity. Regression equations play great role to estimate the body
density and fatness specific to the owing to methodological and biological factors.
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the utility of multi-frequency BIA for the
estimation of TBW and FFM of Indian females at different frequencies. Earlier scientists have
measured various parameters of body composition of Indian population using MALTRON-II. However,
literature shows that prediction equations have not been developed for Indian females which could
develop the heathy prediction equation for Indian females (unhealthy eating habits). It has been found
in the study that women particularly Indian womens have unhealthy eating habits owing to the fact that
they concentrate only on 1 aspect was their food cooked good enough to eat, but they don’t understand
the meaning of healthy food. In the present research paper, an attempt has been made to develop BIA
equations using data taken from PhD thesis (1). This data was taken from my senior Dr. Goswami, who
collected the data in the college in which he was teaching. Some of the data that my supervisor, co-
supervisor and myself has taken in DRDO have already been utilized in building multi-compartmental
model, developing generalized age and sex specific prediction equation and developing REE of Indian
subjects.

Multiple regression analysis was carried out on clinical data through R 2.9 software. The BIA prediction
equation for Total Body water and Fat Free mass was developed at different frequencies of 5 KHz. and 50 KHz.
respectively. The data was taken for Indian females lying in a limited age span of 17-22 years.
I. INTRODUCTION:
Developing prediction equation for Indian females for evaluating and monitoring growth and nutritional status is
an important area of research. Assessing the body composition through isotope dilution, hydro densitometry, dual X-ray
absorbtiometry (DXA),air displacement plethysmography, magnetic resonance imaging, are sometimes used for body
composition analysis, but these equipments are not easily available and is expensive to maintain, so their use in clinical and
field studies is limited. One of the most popular methods for body composition analysis is through Bioelectrical Impedance
Analysis. One of the main advantages of using BIA method is that it does not require high technician skill, it is generally
more comfortable and does not intrude much on client’s privacy. Traditional BIA method which is still most frequently used
involves the measurement of impedance at single frequency generally at 50KHz. Although single frequency BIA is most
used in clinical practices, this device could not predict Total Body Water accurately. MF-BIA seems to give a better
estimation of hydration than SF-BIA because the principle of measuring the flow of current through the body (impedance) is
dependent on the frequency applied. At low frequencies, the current cannot bridge the cellular membrane and will pass
predominantly through the extracellular space. At higher frequencies penetration of the cell membrane occurs and the current
is conducted by both the extra-cellular water (ECW) and intra-cellular water (ICW).
In India when it comes to general health of people there is a large disparity between urban elite class and rural
class. Obesity is becoming a factor in many nations around the world. According to latest obesity statistics, sponsored by
International Day of Evaluation of Abdominal Obesity;75 percent of Indian women and 58 percent of Indian men are obese.
Besides this, numerous studies indicate that malnutrition is another serious health concern that Indian women face
(Chatterjee, 1990; Desai, 1994; The World Bank, 1996). It threatens their survival as well as that of their children. The
negative effects of malnutrition among women are compounded by heavy work demands, by poverty, by childbearing and
rearing, and by special nutritional needs of women, resulting in increased susceptibility to illness and consequent higher
mortality. Attention, must therefore be paid to determine the body composition of females so that appropriate measures can
be taken if women in India are facing abnormality in their health due to their abnormal nutritional status.
The purpose of the current study was to use the female body composition database to develop and predict TBW
and FFM at the frequencies of 5KHz, 50KHz, 100KHz, 200KHz so that, a general idea about the health status of Indian
female can be observed and for that purpose multiple regression analysis is done.
Subjects and Methods: Data of 60 Indian females from reference(1) was used to develop and predict TBW and FFM at
5KHz,50KHz,100KHz,200KHz which was then used for the descriptive analysis of Indian females which included their
age, weight, height, Total Body Water(TBW), Fat Free Mass (FFM), and Impedance at these frequencies. These data were
then used to calculate the body stature. i.e. (height2
/impedance) of females. In this paper, a powerful statistical program R
(version 2.9.2); basically used for statistical analysis is used. Here we have used this software to develop linear model for
Total Body Water(TBW) and Fat Free Mass(FFM) at different frequency and form a prediction equation using weight and
Impedance index i.e. (height2
/impedance) of females at these frequencies as independent variables and TBW and FFM as
dependent variables. The obtained equations are of the form:
TBW(f1,f2,f3,f4)=a0Wt.+a1ZI(f1,f2,f3,f4) +C1(f1,f2,f3,f4)………………………………………………..(1)
FFM(f1,f2,f3,f4)=b0Wt.+b1ZI(f1,f2,f3,f4) +C2(f1,f2,f3,f4)……………………………………………….(2)
Where TBW(f1,f2,f3,f4) and FFM(f1,f2,f3,f4) is Total Body Water and Fat Free Mass at frequencies
f1=5KHz.,f2=50KHz.,f3=100KHz.,f4=200KHz. and ZI(f1,f2,f3,f4) is the calculated Impedance index i.e. (height2
/impedance) of
females at these frequencies. C1(f1,f2,f3,f4) and C2(f1,f2,f3,f4) are intercepts of equation (1) and (2) respectively and a0, b0 are
coefficients multiplied by weight variable of equation(1) and(2) respectively and a1, b1 are coefficients multiplied by
Impedance index variable of equation(1) and(2) respectively. The flowchart showing the sequence of operations of
algorithm used in R 2.9 software to develop and predict linear model of TBW, FFM at these multiple frequencies is also
shown in Figure(1)

The prediction equations developed for Fat Free Mass at 5 KHz, 50 KHz, 100 KHz and 200 KHz. are as shown
below:
FFMBIA= (0.12496)×ZI5k + (0.56707)×Body weight + 15.91914 ………………(5)
FFMBIA= (0.11924)×ZI50k + (0.50014)×Body weight + 16.70689 ………………(6)
FFMBIA= (0.13920)×ZI100k + (0.42686)×Body weight + 17.20722 ………………(7)
FFMBIA= (0.21844)×ZI200k + (0.34863)×Body weight + 15.78796 ………………(8)
Where FFMBIA is Total body water in Kg, ZI5k ZI50k, ZI100k, ZI200k is Impedance indexes of the body at 5KHz, 50
KHz, 100KHz, 200 KHz respectively in (cm2
/Ω). Body weight is the weight of the body in Kg. The other
statistical analysis such as Standard Error of Estimate (S.E.E.) for Intercept, Impedance index at 5KHz, 50KHz,
100KHz and 200 KHz, Residual Standard Error (R.S.E.), Multiple R squared, mean standard deviation of
predictor variable i.e. Impedance index and weight and dependent variable i.e. TBW and FFM at 5KHz, 50KHz,
100KHz and 200 KHz are given in Table 3.
A comparative study of TBW and FFM at frequencies of 5 KHz, 50 KHz, 100 KHz and 200 KHz
is shown in Table 4. From the results obtained it is seen that predicted values are very close to measured values.
However, predicted values of TBW and FFM at 50 KHz, 100 KHz and 200 KHz are much closer to measured
values then the predicted values at 5 KHz. This is due to the fact that at low frequencies, the current cannot
bridge the cellular membrane and will pass predominantly through the extracellular space. At higher frequencies
penetration of the cell membrane occurs and the current is conducted by both the extra-cellular water (ECW)
and intra-cellular water (ICW).
