Abstract Introduction: The large increase in the number of transnasal endoscopic skull base surgeries is a consequence of greater knowledge of the anatomic region, the development of specific materials and instruments, and especially the use of the nasoseptal flap as a barrier between the sinus tract (contaminated cavity) and the subarachnoid space
CFD approach to modelling, hydrodynamic analysis and motion characteristics of a laboratory underwater glider with experimental results
Underwater gliders are buoyancy propelled vehicle which make use of buoyancy for vertical poise pads in bulk movement and wings to propel the glider in forward direction.Autonomous underwater gliders are a patented technology and are manufactured and marketed by corporations.In this study, we validate the experimental lift and drag characteristics
Combination of fingerprint and chemometric analytical approaches to identify the geographical origin of Qinghai-Tibet plateau rapeseed oil
Verification of the geographical origin of rapeseed oil is essential to protect consumers from fraudulent products.A puffy spa headband prospective study was conducted on 45 samples from three rapeseed oil-producing areas in Qinghai Province, which were analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS.To assess the accuracy of the prediction of origin, classification
Prospective study to assess the treatment modalities and fever defervescence in patients with scrub typhus from a tertiary care centre in South India
Background and objectives: Fever defervescence in scrub typhus, a zoonotic bacterial infection is used as a surrogate marker of disease resolution.Failure of fever defervescence prompts clinicians to suspect alternate diagnoses and treatment.In this observational study, various treatment regimens were correlated with clinical outcomes.Methods: All
Dynamics of a Small Unmanned Aircraft Parachute System
Parachute Systems (PS) can be readily used by small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for risk mitigation and aircraft recovery.To date there has been limited research into the fundamental dynamics of parachutes at low Reynolds numbers,with existing studies dea eyewear focusing on larger parachutes.An understanding of the dynamics is needed to establ
