An Unusual/Rare Case of Toothbrush Impalement Injury in Floor of Mouth.

Foreign bodies of the aero-digestive tract are commonly seen emergencies in ENT practice. Young children often present with accidental ingestion of foreign bodies like coins and battery cells. However penetrative foreign bodies of the oral cavity and the aerodigestive tract are relatively rare.

Clinico-Etiological Evaluation of Epistaxis.

Epistaxis or bleeding from nose, a commonly confronted condition in the department of otorhinolaryngology can be a disquietening experience and sometimes a life threatening emergency for the patient. The aim of this study is to study the clinical profile and aetiology in epistaxis patients. An observational prospective study carried out over a period of 12 months in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Swami Rama Himalayan University, Swami Ram Nagar, Dehradun, Uttarakhand.

Machine Learning approach to Predict net radiation over crop surfaces from global solar radiation and canopy temperature data.

As the ground-based instruments for measuring net radiation are costly and need to be handled skillfully, the net radiation data at spatial and temporal scales over Indian subcontinent are scanty. Sometimes, it is necessary to use other meteorological parameters to estimate the value of net radiation, although the prediction may vary based on season, ground cover and estimation method. In this context, artificial intelligence can be used as a powerful tool for predicting the data considering past observed data.

A Review on the Development of Earthquake Warning System Using Low-Cost Sensors in Taiwan.

Seismic instrumentation for earthquake early warnings (EEWs) has improved significantly in the last few years, considering the station coverage, data quality, and the related applications. The official EEW system in Taiwan is operated by the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) and is responsible for issuing the regional warning for moderate-to-large earthquakes occurring in and around Taiwan. The low-cost micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS)-based P-Alert EEW system is operational in Taiwan for on-site warnings and for producing shakemaps.

A new clustering method for the diagnosis of CoVID19 using medical images.

With the spread of COVID-19, there is an urgent need for a fast and reliable diagnostic aid. For the same, literature has witnessed that medical imaging plays a vital role, and tools using supervised methods have promising results. However, the limited size of medical images for diagnosis of CoVID19 may impact the generalization of such supervised methods.

A comprehensive survey of image segmentation: clustering methods, performance parameters, and benchmark datasets.

Image segmentation is an essential phase of computer vision in which useful information is extracted from an image that can range from finding objects while moving across a room to detect abnormalities in a medical image. As image pixels are generally unlabelled, the commonly used approach for the same is clustering. This paper reviews various existing clustering based image segmentation methods.

Real-Time Production of PGA, PGV, Intensity, and Sa Shakemaps Using Dense MEMS-Based Sensors in Taiwan.

Using low-cost sensors to build a seismic network for earthquake early warning (EEW) and to generate shakemaps is a cost-effective way in the field of seismology. National Taiwan University (NTU) network employing 748 P-Alert sensors based on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology is operational for almost the last 10 years. This instrumentation is capable of recording the strong ground motions of up to ± 2g and is dense enough to record the near-field ground motion.

Atypical Facial Chondroid Syringoma, A Rare Clinical Entity: Case Report with Review of Literature.

Chondroid syringoma (CS) is a rare mixed tumor of sweat gland origin with a reported incidence of less than 0.1%. The tumor is mostly benign and usually seen in males.

Influenza aerosols in UK hospitals during the H1N1 (2009) pandemic--the risk of aerosol generation during medical procedures.

Background: Nosocomial infection of health-care workers (HCWs) during outbreaks of respiratory infections (e.g. Influenza A H1N1 (2009)) is a significant concern for public health policy makers.
