Improving the Mechanical and Interfacial Properties of Bhendi Fiber via Chemical Surface Treatments
Abstract: Because of its primary benefits—moderate strength and stiffness, low cost, and being a renewable, degradable, and ecologically friendly material—natural fibers are believed to have potential use as reinforcing agents in polymer composite materials. Due to their inherent hydrophilicity, they have a tendency to retain moisture, which can impair or soften the fibers' adhesion to the surrounding matrix. This can have an impact on the performance of composite materials used in …

Review on CBIR Image Based on Colour, Texture and Shape Features of Biomedical Image Applications
Abstract: This study seeks to understand how different image enhancing methods affect the sensitivity of contrast-based textural measures and morphological traits derived from high-resolution satellite data (three-band SPOT-5). The built-up/non-built-up detection framework is the backbone of every biomedical application. Using supervised learning while working with a low-resolution reference layer reduces uncertainty and boosts the reference layer's quality in a roundabout way. The image's histogram is recalculated based on contrast in order …

Can Screw-only fixations of ACPHT acetabular fractures enhance stability as the standard buttress plate fixation provides?
Abstract: Background: Of acetabular fractures, anterior column posterior hemi-transverse(ACPHT) fractures commonly occur after a fall onto the hip in elderly population. When displaced in these fractures, open reduction and internal fixation using plate and screws is usually required to achieve good functional outcomes. The open procedures, however, involve high complication rates due to surgical invasion; therefore, percutaneous techniques by screw-only constructs have been advocated to minimize these complications. The purpose of …
