Response to Comments on Uranium Content Anomalies in Groundwaters of Fazilka District of Punjab (India) for the Assessment of Excess Cancer Risk
Abstract: Excess cancer risk from the ingestion of natural Uranium from the drinking water has been calculated according to the standard method given by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). There is as yet no final conclusion regarding absorbed dose delivered to population over extended time periods. Most of the authors in India and abroad have used the Model calculations based on Linear No Threshold (LNT) for evaluating excess cancer …

Uranium Content Anomalies in Groundwater of Moga District of Malwa Belt of Punjab (India) for the Assessment of Excess Cancer Risk
Abstract: Inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICPMS) has been used to measure the Uranium (U) content of the ground water samples of Moga district of Malwa belt of Punjab, India. Out of the total number of habitations covered under this survey, 203 were having U content more than 30 ppb (WHO safe limit). Out of 203 habitations, we sorted out 56 with U concentration of more than 100 ppb in groundwater. …

Giant Primary Hydatid Cyst of Spleen—A Rare Clinical Entity
Abstract: Hydatid cyst (echinococcosis) is a zoonotic disease, caused by infestation of larval form of parasite of tapeworm, Echinococcus granulosus (eg). Humans are infected through faeco-oral route by the ingestion of food and milk, contaminated by dog faeces containing the ova of parasite or by direct contact with dog. Liver is the commonly involved organ (57.8%) followed by the lungs (26.4%). The kidneys, spleen, brain, soft tissues of neck, appendix and …

Review on Arsenic Toxicity: Its Treatment And Prevention
Abstract: Arsenic, a metalloid is distributed throughout the surface of the earth. It has various oxidation states, most common being +3 and +5. It is a highly toxic element and is often found in groundwater and contaminated drinking water and can enter the body through various routes like ingestion, absorption and inhalation. Arsenic toxicity can be both acute as well as chronic and can lead to several diseases of the human …

Digital Twin Assisted Intelligent Prediction of Polymer Composite Degradation Under Environmental Exposure
Abstract: Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) deployed in aerospace, marine, automotive, and renewable-energy structures are continuously subjected to coupled environmental stressors — ultraviolet (UV) radiation, moisture ingress, thermal cycling, and mechanical loading — that progressively degrade their mechanical performance. Conventional accelerated ageing tests and empirical lifetime models are time-consuming, destructive, and poorly suited to in-service, asset-specific degradation forecasting. This paper proposes a Digital Twin (DT) assisted intelligent prediction framework that fuses a …
