Structural health monitoring of aircraft through prediction of delamination using machine learning.

Background: Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a regular procedure of monitoring and recognizing changes in the material and geometric qualities of aircraft structures, bridges, buildings, and so on. The structural health of an airplane is more important in aerospace manufacturing and design. Inadequate structural health monitoring causes catastrophic breakdowns, and the resulting damage is costly.

Cardiopulmonary and Metabolic Effects of Yoga in Healthy Volunteers.

Background: Yoga the spiritual union of mind with the divine intelligence of the universe aims to liberate a human being from conflicts of body-mind duality. Beneficial cardiovascular and pulmonary effects of yoga are in par with aerobic exercise, even amounting to replace the exercise model. We conducted an interventional study in healthy volunteers, to analyze the impact of short-term yoga training on cardiovascular, pulmonary, autonomic function tests, lipid profile, and thyroid function tests.

Biochemical assessment of cholelithiasis.

Bile and serum were analysed in 45 cases of cholelithiasis and 25 control subjects for cholesterol, phospholipids, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase and LCAT activity. Serum phospholipids were found to be elevated in sixty percent of cases, whereas phospholipids in bile were found to be decreased. Serum alkaline phosphatase and alanine aminotransferase were normal.
