A new mathematical modelling based shape extraction technique for Forensic Odontology.

Forensic Odontology is a specific means for identifying a person in which deceased, and particularly in fatality incidents. The algorithm can be proposed to identify a person by comparing both postmortem (PM) and antemortem (AM) dental radiographs and photographs. This work aims to introduce a new mathematical algorithm for photographs in addition with radiographs.

Prevalence of chronic periodontitis and its risk determinants among female patients in the Aseer Region of KSA.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of chronic periodontitis and its determinants among patients in the Aseer Region of KSA.

Methods: A total of 1000 consecutive new female patients between 25- to 75-years of age were screened for the presence of any periodontal disease. The various demographic characteristics of the study participants included age, educational level, occupation, presence of diabetes mellitus, family history of periodontal disease, and oral hygiene practices per subject were recorded.

In silico analysis of aqueous root extract of Rotula aquatica Lour for docking analysis of the compound 3-O-acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid contents.

Molecular docking is a bioinformatics tool used to study and analyse ligand receptor interactions. This helps in identifying the receptors (molecular targets) for different ligands. Using these technologies, compound isolation and drug discovery from herbals is achieved.

A study on the effect of few eco-friendly manures on the growth attributes of carrot (Daucus carota L.).

A pot culture study was carried out at Avinashilingam Deemed University, Coimbatore to assess the effect of few organic manures (herbal microfertilizer, humic acid, farm yard manure (FYM), biofertilizer) and NPK on the growth attributes of carrot. Among the parameters observed, the germination percentage was highest in FYM treated pots on 7 DAS (Days After Sowing) and in NPK treated pots on 21, 28 and 30 DAS. The parameters, such as root length, crown length and vigour index, were studied on 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAS.

Performance analysis of various techniques applied in human identification using dental X-rays.

This paper proposes a novel approach for automating the analysis of identifying the person based on their ante mortem and postmortem reports. This approach involves three techniques (i.e.
