Enhancement of rider comfort by magnetorheological elastomer based damping treatment at strategic locations of an electric two wheeler.

The vibrations generated in the two-wheeled vehicles like motorcycles due to road irregularities such as cracks, potholes, and bumps on the road cause discomfort for the rider as well as the pillion. These vibrations are reported to cause lower back pains, musculoskeletal effects, fatigue, and long-term health issues. Particularly, electric two-wheelers are more susceptible to these vibrations caused by the road and need attention.

Bilateral Acute Proptosis With Papilledema and Sub-retinal Fluid As Initial Manifestations of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in a Child.

A five-year-old boy presented with bilateral acute proptosis, papilledema, and sub-retinal fluid. Notably, choroidal thickening exceeded 600 microns. These ocular findings were the initial manifestations of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Computational fluid dynamics study of respiratory mask for neonatal resuscitation.

Face cups form a vital component of breathing, assisting with devices that aid in artificial breathing for neonates. This study aims to evaluate the flow parameters in the nasal cavity for two different types of face cups. The neonatal nasal cavity model was developed from CT scans using MIMICS 21.

Whole body vibration and rider comfort determination of an electric two-wheeler test rig.

Background: Two-wheeled vehicles are the major mode of transportation in India. Such vehicles are exposed to excessive vibration on the road when compared to four-wheeled vehicles. However, the research on the reduction of whole body vibration in the case of two-wheelers is not explored in detail.

Fungal diversity associated with Goa's tarballs: Insights from ITS region amplicon sequencing.

This study explores the fungal diversity associated with tarballs, weathered crude oil deposits, on Goa's tourist beaches. Despite tarball pollution being a longstanding issue in Goa state in India, comprehensive studies on associated fungi are scarce. Our research based on amplicon sequence analysis of fungal ITS region fills this gap, revealing a dominance of Aspergillus, particularly Aspergillus penicillioides, associated with tarballs from Vagator and Morjim beaches.
