Shashtika Shali Pinda Sweda (A Unique Bolus Massage): A Review Article
Abstract: Swedana (sudation), the process of therapeutic sweating is well explained in Ayurveda classical texts. Secondary to Snehana (oleation), it is considered as an important prerequisite to Panchakarma. Specific indications and contraindications should be strictly followed for the Swedana. Swedana can be broadly classified into Sagni Sweda (sweating is induced with the help of fire) and Niragni Sweda (sweating is induced without using fire). There are thirteen types of Sagni Sweda …

Automated Scene Surveillance using Frame Propagation from Massive Sequencization Fusion of Frame Imaging
Abstract: Remote sensing scene surveillance has already become significant contributions to many areas such; as environmental engineering and civil applications. However, these fields are still deprived from completely being automated. Since, decisions based on surveillance and sensing data in these fields strongly depend on the accuracy of these data but yet such data is produced by a measuring device and additionally being deprived from effective models and thus being generally prone …

Analytical Solution to Single Degree of Freedom Bi-Linear Spring Mass Systems Transient Vibration
Abstract: Conventional approach to solution of linear systems under transient vibration has been through Convolution integral or Duhamel integral method which employs the method of superposition of linear solutions to obtain the total solution. Principle of superposition is not possible for non-linear systems and hence transient vibration solution cannot be obtained through classical methods. Nevertheless, the solution to transient vibration for each domain can be obtained as a sum of homogeneous …
