Phase Transition and Molecular Orientational Studies on Nematic Dimmer and Cholesteric Materials
Abstract: The binary mixture of nematic dimmer and cholesteric compounds viz., cholesteryl nonanoate (CN) and 1,7-bis-4-(4′-cyanobiphenyl) heptane (CB7CB) exhibits very interesting liquid crystalline phase’s at large range of concentrations and temperature. The concentrations with lower/higher percentage of CB7CB exhibit cholesteric and reentrant smectic-A phases sequentially when the specimen is cooled from its isotropic phase. The molecular tilt and birefringence have been discussed in the region of smetic-A and smectic-C phases, respectively …

Image Preprocessing and Analysis on Eye Fundus Images Segmentation by Using Density Clustering Methods
Abstract: In order to do an automated evaluation of various retinal illnesses such as Diabetic retinopathy, Glaucoma, and Macular Edema, fundus images must be pre-processed first. For many reasons, it's difficult to accurately detect the optic disc. Many blood vessels cross the optic disc, making it difficult to discern the disc's boundaries in fundus images. Lesion regions in diabetic retinopathy look very much like an optic disc's colour and texture, so …

Boundary Localization of Optic Disc using Pixel Level Deviation in Retinal Fundus Image
Abstract: In automated computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) approach for Diabetic retinopathy (DR) detection and monitoring, optic disc (OD) localization is the first and fundamental task for further processing of retinal fundus image. Identification of OD area is complex, as it attains the similar pathological blood vessels characteristics such as intensity variations and texture pattern. This paper presents a simple approach for the outer boundary localization of OD based on pixel level variations, …

Extraction of Retinal Features in Fundus Images for Glaucoma Diagnosis
Abstract: Glaucoma is a major cause for blindness, identified early by the structural changes of optic nerve head in the retina. Retinal image analysis is emerging as an important screening tool for prior detection of eye diseases. Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease in which damage to the optic nerve leads to progressive, irreversible vision loss and it is considered as second leading cause for blindness worldwide. In this research work, …

Refining Retinal Layer Segmentation in OCT Imaging with Advanced Techniques and Clinical Applications
Abstract: Segmenting retinal layers from Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) pictures entails locating and separating different retinal layers to offer comprehensive anatomical and pathological information. Age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma are among the retinal illnesses for which this procedure is crucial for diagnosis and follow-up. By utilizing preprocessing techniques to improve image quality and applying advanced algorithms—such as intensity-based, gradient-based, and texture-based methods—alongside deep learning approaches, clinicians can accurately measure …

Tactile Sensing Technologies in Robotics: A Review of Sensors, Materials, and Applications
Abstract: Tactile sensing, which closely resembles the human sense of touch, is an essential capability in modern robotics. It enables robots to detect and interpret physical interactions with objects, surfaces, and living beings, thereby allowing them to operate more intelligently and adaptively in complex environments. Unlike visual or auditory sensors, tactile sensors provide direct feedback about contact, pressure, texture, force, temperature, and even vibration. These sensory cues are vital for improving …
