Optimizing Mango Harvest Timing in the Nasik Region (Maharashtra, India) by CNNs (Residual Network 101)
Abstract: The determination of optimal harvest timing is one of the most critical decisions in mango production, directly affecting postharvest quality, market value, transportation resilience, and export readiness. In regions such as Nashik, Maharashtra—one of India’s major fruit- producing belts—the climatic variability, cultivar differences, monsoon patterns, and market- driven pressures make accurate harvest timing essential. Traditional maturity assessment relies on subjective visual inspection, specific gravity, or destructive testing, each of which …

Analysis of Cost and Schedule Performance of Residential Building Projects by EVM Technique
Abstract: Earned value management (EVM) is a project control technique which provides a quantitative measure of work performance by cost and schedule monitoring. It involves a crediting (earning) of budget as scheduled work is performed. The EVM technique is a proven method to evaluate work progress in order to identify schedule slippage and areas of budget overruns. Value earned for a given task is computed as budgeted cost of work performed …

Residual Nonunion in a Case of Two and-a-half Year Old Child Congenital Pseudarthrosis of Ipsilateral Tibia and Fibula Treated by Intramedullary Fixation with K-Wire and Allogenic Cancellous Strut Graft: A Case Report
Abstract: The pseudarthrosis usually develops during the first two years of life; however, there are reports of cases in which fractures developed before birth and reports of late-onset pseudarthrosis. There is a strong association between congenital pseudarthrosis (CPT) and Type I neurofibromatosis. CPT develops in about 5.7% of patients with NF-I and 40% of patients with pseudarthrosis were found to have NF-I. Main pathology is hyperplasia of fibroblasts with the formation …
