Satellite imagery-based tropical cyclone impact assessment on LULC and vegetation: a case study of cyclone Biparjoy.

Cyclones pose significant threats to coastal regions, triggering widespread ecological and hydrological changes. This study presents an impact assessment of cyclone Biparjoy, which originated in the Arabian Sea and made landfall on the Gujarat coast of India on June 16, 2023. The research encompasses flood delineation and vegetation impact assessment in the Kachchh and Devbhoomi Dwarka districts of Gujarat, India.

Comparative Evaluation of Cutting Efficiency of Three File Systems-Kedo-SH Manual, Pedoflex Rotary, and Manual K File: An Study.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to comparatively evaluate the cutting efficiency of Pedoflex rotary, Kedo SH manual file, and manual K file systems used in root canal instrumentation while performing pulp therapy of deciduous teeth with a stereomicroscope.

Materials And Methods: Forty-five extracted primary human root canals were chosen, and following the removal of pulp tissue, the canals were dyed with Indian ink and left to dry for 2 h. The samples were randomly divided into three groups, Group A: Kedo SH manual file system ( = 15), Group B: Pedoflex rotary file system ( = 15), and Group C: Manual K files ( = 15).

A multi-layer perceptron-Markov chain based LULC change analysis and prediction using remote sensing data in Prayagraj district, India.

Land use land cover (LULC) mapping and temporal observations are indispensable drivers for sustainable development. This research showed the growth trends and land use transition for the Prayagraj district in the last three decades. Supervised classification of Landsat images was performed on 5-year temporal intervals using a maximum likelihood classifier.

Overlooked contributions of Ayurveda literature to the history of physiology of digestion and metabolism.

Ayurveda is a traditional system of healthcare that is native to India and has a rich documented literature of its own. Most of the historians agree that the documentation of core Ayurveda literature took place approximately in between 400 BCE and 200 CE, while acknowledging that the roots of its theoretical framework can be traced back to a much earlier period. For multiple reasons many significant contributions of Ayurveda literature to various streams of biological and medical sciences have remained under-recognized while recounting the historical milestones of development.

An evaluation of primary schools and its accessibility using GIS techniques: a case study of Prayagraj district, India.

The spatial analysis of primary schools is needed to ensure that they meet standards set by the Government of India. Therefore, mapping of Prayagraj district primary schools is carried out in this research work. The spatial analysis of schools is performed using various parameters that include: literacy rate, student gender ratio, teacher taught ratio, and students' toilets ratio.

Comparison of GIS-based AHP and fuzzy AHP methods for hospital site selection: a case study for Prayagraj City, India.

Identification of hospital sites and their ranking is important for the planning and development of any country's health infrastructure. The site selection problem is a typical multi-criteria decision making problem involving multiple stakeholders and their interests. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) is a promising approach to solve a location-based problem due to the constitution of various criteria involved in decision making.

Rare but not Abdicated: Status of Haemophilia in foothills of Himalaya, Uttarakhand: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Haemophilia is one of the bleeding disorders, which is inherited, in an xlinked recessive pattern. The diagnosis is by estimation of factor levels of 8 and 9. Timebound treatment for people living with Haemophilia (PWH) is factor replacement during bleeding manifestation.

Synergetic interaction between spatial land cover dynamics and expanding urban heat islands.

Inherent statistics of the surface temperature pattern were used to categorize urban heat islands (UHIs) for a tropical mega city and its satellite towns. Application of flexible threshold values for UHI zoning made this procedure independent of seasonal or locational influences. UHI zones for the years 1999, 2009, and 2019 were mapped from Landsat thermal bands by applying the mono-window algorithm.

Pulmonary Embolism in Children: A Case Series.

Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening event with a mortality of ~10%. It is relatively uncommon in children and literature regarding the condition is sparse. In adults, the classical clinical presentation is with pleuritic chest pain, hemoptysis, and dyspnea, whereas in children, the presentation is often nonspecific.

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Children With Developmental Delay: Time to Look Beyond Conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Developmental delay (DD) is an important long-term neuromorbidity owing to various insults to the developing brain and neuroimaging plays a key role in evaluating these children. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is the only noninvasive method to determine the levels of various metabolites in the brain which aids in delineating the underlying abnormalities. A total of 48 children aged between 6 months to 6 years with developmental delay were included and evaluated with neuroimaging in our study.

Explication on tissue nutrition in prenatal and postnatal life: An Ayurveda perspective.

Tissue nutrition is the continuous process which is established just after the conception and persists throughout the life. Ayurveda scholars have mentioned that the manner of tissue nutrition is not same in all phases of life. In prenatal life embryo gets nutrition by Upasneha (filtration) and Upasweda (percolation/secretion) and fetus by Garbhanabhinadi (umbilical cord) which is attached with the heart of mother via Rasavahanadi (blood vessels).
