Perinatal mortality is the number of stillbirths and deaths during the first seven days of life per 1000 live births. Most (98%) of this death occurs in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and is known as the 'silent' ...

West coast of the Indian peninsula is one of the regions which receive very heavy rainfall during the summer monsoon season. Average June-September rainfall over the parts of coastal Karnataka, Konkan and Goa exceed 250 ...

In a tribo-system, the frictional resistance during a sliding process depends on several parameters. These parameters include the interacting materials, their surface topography, contact conditions such as normal load, ...

In the present work, drilling induced damage in multi-directional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (MD-CFRP) laminates has been investigated by experimental and numerical approaches. Exit-ply delamination during drilling ...

Grains and powders are the second most widely used materials in industries and daily life after simple fluids. There are a variety of granular materials such as food grains, detergents, tablets and capsules, fertilizers, ...

High-temperature alloys are technically very important materials that possess higher resistance toward mechanical and chemical degradation at 0.4-0.6 TM for a constant/cyclic load. These attributes make them candidate ...

Human eye gaze estimation research has numerous applications in diverse fields from Human Computer Interaction (HCI) to aviation. Non-intrusive video oculography based methods are classified into two categories based on ...

Innovations in electronics and the rapid developments in communication systems have been unprecedented and made life easier. One such advancement is wireless electronics, where gadgets operate in gigahertz frequencies – ...

The body’s heat exchange mechanisms include sensible heat transfer at the skin surface (also called “Dry Heat exchange”) due to temperature differences (via conduction, convection, and radiation (long-wave and short-wave)), ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) have become materials of choice for applications spanning optoelectronics, atomically thin coatings, and ...
