This paper presents a comparative study on the important parameter of the ionosphere critical frequency of F2 layer (foF2) retrieved by means of ground based ionosonde radars and predicted by International Reference Ionosphere extended till plasma sphere (IRIPLAS-2011) model at two different locations including Northern Sumatra (Geographic Lat. 2.311°N,Geographic Long. 93.063°E) and Fox Island, Alaska (Geographic Lat. 52.008°N, Geographic Long.171.859°W) in the low and mid latitude during the earthquakes occurred in the years 2012 and 2011, respectively. A running median of the fof2 and linked inter quartile range (IQR), upper bound (UB) and lower bound (LB) are utilized as a reference for identifying abnormal signals during the earthquakes. The results show anomalous reductions and enhancements in the fof2 within 7 days before and after the earthquakes. A comparative study between ionosonde retrieved and IRIPLAS-2011 model derived foF2 values reveals that the ionosonde retrieved values exhibit better anomalies during both the events. The analysis during extreme quiet geophysical conditions is shown to be a useful indicator of a forthcoming earthquake.

The invasion of the orbit with metastatic tumors is rare. In addition, some cases of unilateral metastatic disease have been reported but more often it is bilateral involvement. Moreover, it frequently attends locoregional invasion of the orbit by tumors adjacent structures including intraocular tumors in children. In adults, the orbital metastases are mostly of epithelial origin and they are considered a full metastatic site [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. In the literature, many cases of orbital metastases have been reported, such as esophageal cancer metastasis [7], breast [8], pancreatic [9] as well as lung [10]. Today, metastatic carcinoma of the orbit are 2.3 to 7% of orbital tumors [11, 12]. Cancer of the prostate is the most common cancer in humans outside of skin cancer, and it often leads to bone and visceral metastases. [13] However, the orbital metastases appear at an advanced stage of the disease [3, 4]. The purpose of this article is to report the case of a bet diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the prostate revealed a metastatic orbital tumor.

The hydatid cyst of the spleen is a rare affection. The location splenic comes in 3rd position after the liver and lungs. In the absence of really effective medical treatment, splenic hydatid disease often leads to surgery. We report the case of a patient with calcified splenic hydatid cyst discovered incidentally and in whom the therapeutic decision was abstention and monitoring.

The purpose of this review paper is to discuss the lean implementation and its quantified benefits for the textile industry. Both current and future state maps of the organization’s shop floor scenarios are discussed using lean techniques in order to highlight improvement areas and to bridge the gap between the existing state and the future state of shop floor of the textile industry. After an exhaustive review it is being found that lean implementation has many benefits at organizational and operational level. It has been concluded that, still many of the Indian textile industry have not adopted lean and it may be beneficial for them.

A rough set, first described by Zdzis?aw I. Pawlak, is a formal approximation of a crisp set in terms of a pair of sets which give the lower and the upper approximation of the original set. Soft set theory is a generalization of fuzzy set theory, was proposed by Molodtsov to deal with uncertainties. In this paper, we present concepts of soft rough neutrosophic Sets and neutrosophic soft rough Sets, and investigate some of its properties. Furthermore, we develop a decision making approach to neutrosophic Soft Rough Sets and a numerical example is illustrated.
