The heart rate is one of the significant physiological parameters of the human cardiovascular system. Heart rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute. Heart rate data reflects various physiological states such as biological workload,stress at work and concentration on tasks, drowsiness and the active state of the autonomic nervous system. Human cardiac dynamics are driven by the complex nonlinear interactions of two competing forces: sympathetic regulation increases and parasympathetic regulation decreases the heart rate. Thus,monitoring of heart rate plays a significant role in providing the status of cardiovascular system and clinically correlated information to medical professionals. Heart rate measurement is also regarded as an essential parameter in patient care monitoring system. Heart rate can be measured either by the ECG waveform or by sensing the pulse - the rhythmic expansion and contraction of an artery as blood is forced through it by the regular contractions of the heart. The pulse can be felt from those areas where the artery is close to the skin. This paper highlights on the design of a microcontroller (PIC series) based heart rate counter that is able to capture the pulse from finger tip by sensing the change in blood volume. The heart rates of fifteen healthy normal subjects (students of age 21-22 yrs.) both in relaxed and excited states were measured using the designed device and a standard heart rate measuring device. The outputs of the measured device were satisfactory. Also, the designed device,being noninvasive one, can easily find its place in health care monitoring system.
India's economic growth, the need to scale up technological education, the roles of skill, knowledge, attitude and innovation in the nation's economic path. India is emerging as an innovator, and the present situation offers opportunities for the country to take the lead in demonstrating how growth can be achieved in a sustainable method. Strategic planning holds great promise for multifaceted organizations like universities and colleges and other educational organization, but carelessness to critical stages of the process leads too many plans to end up sitting on a shelf rather than truly managing the organization to its goals. The process of strategic planning must originate with a clear visualization of the motivation for planning. Strategic planning is a continuing and unending process of evaluation, reflection, and improvement that helps the institute set priorities and urgencies, manage various resources, define performance expectations, and confirm and approve integrated actions. Its goal is to enhance the institute's ability to carry out its mission and core values. This paper gives overview of importance of strategic plan in improvement quality of education.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
