Effects of Sub Chronic Dermal Exposure of Gasoline Blended with Varying Concentration of Benzene on Hepatic Mixed Function Oxidases in Rats
Abstract: Interaction of chemicals in a mixture, their biotransformation and adverse impact, if any, on environment and workroom atmosphere needs to be evaluated to identify the nature of potential toxic effects elicited by constituent chemical(s) in a mixture. The nature of chemical interaction(s) through which an individual chemical in a mixture undergoes metabolism and/or biotransformation in the target tissue could be helpful in evaluation of its toxic potential. Gasoline is a …

Biochemical Analysis of Cadaveric Synovial Fluid for Determination of Death Interval
Abstract: Estimation of post-mortem interval or time since a death has always remained an important requirement in medico-legal autopsies. Since the 1850s, scientists have been working on different methods to determine post-mortem interval but none of the methods is either or collectively reliable in measuring exact death interval because of environmental factors. Hence in this study, synovial fluid sodium concentration was investigated to predict post-mortem interval. Total 100 samples of the …

JATAYU: A Stereo Vision–Based UAV for Autonomous Navigation and Human Following in GPS-Denied Environments
Abstract: Traditional unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems primarily rely on Global Positioning System (GPS)-based navigation and conventional computer vision techniques. However, these approaches face significant challenges in GPS-denied environments, such as dense urban areas, indoor spaces, and disaster-affected regions where GPS signals may be weak, unavailable, or unreliable. In addition, limitations in real-time processing, object detection accuracy, and environmental perception can reduce UAV effectiveness in dynamic and unpredictable situations. This paper …
