Authors: Parthiban Harini , Lakshmi Suman J. , Somasundaram Elangovanz , Kumar Senthil B 
Published: September 2022

Context:
Idiopathic osteosclerosis may be congenital or developmental in origin and are asymptomatic. It usually manifests as an incidentaloma and hence it can be encountered in the panoramic radiograph during routine radiographic examination.

Aim:
This study aims to determine the prevalence of idiopathic osteosclerosis in the Indian population using digital panoramic radiographs.

Methods and Material:
A cross-sectional study was carried out with a total of 2000 digital panoramic radiographs for the presence of idiopathic osteosclerosis in the Indian sub-population. The area that appeared as an obvious bony island, either round, oval, or irregular shape with a definite internal structure, was selected as a criterion for diagnosis and categorized into five types based on location: inter radicular, inter radicular and separate, apical and inter radicular, apical, and separate. After evaluation, it was correlated based on age, gender, type, and location.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson's Chi-square test.

Results:
A total of 90 areas of osteosclerosis were found, and a prevalence rate of 4.5% was obtained. The separate type of osteosclerosis showed the highest rate of occurrence. The prevalence rate was identified to be higher in female subjects, and the majority of the lesions occurred among the age group of 12-21 years.

Conclusions:
This study showed the prevalence of 4.5% on digital panoramic radiographs and found a significant value (p-value 0.042) between the types of idiopathic osteosclerosis and its location.

Published: September 2022

Introduction:
Workforce planning is a relatively new approach to identify the supply and demand of labor. The goal of workforce planning is to identify talent surpluses and shortages, project future needs, and facilitate matching training decisions.

Methods:
An online survey was sent to otolaryngologists with a high volume of rhinology practice.

Results:
Twenty-nine surgeons participated in the survey. All respondents had completed a rhinology fellowship and 20% practiced exclusively rhinology. The majority of surgeons reported <5 days of access to the operative room. More than 50% of surgeons reported having access to image-guided surgery. According to 65% of respondents, the number of surgeons practicing rhinology in Saudi Arabia is adequate. Overall, 62% of respondents were satisfied with their careers.

Conclusion:
The outcomes from this survey provided the necessary information required for rhinology physicians workforce modeling and allow us to begin strategically planning for Saudi Arabia's future rhinology needs and local fellowship requirements.

Published: September 2022

Some concerns had been expressed over the success rate of the De-feathering machine (DM) in Nigeria. Therefore, it is imperative to evaluate DM in selected poultry farms in Ekiti State, Nigeria, and consider the factors that inhibit their viability. This study seeks to verify the success rate and identify factors that pose challenges to DM and provide a solution to their intercorrelations. Kendall Coefficient of Concordance (KCC) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was the design framework used to investigate the identified factors that influence DM. The KCC was used to analyse the data matrix generated by 12 Judges who ranked the twenty-eight identified factors that influenced DM in ascending order, upon which basis an index of concordance in ranking among the judges was computed as w = 0.70. PCA was used to further analysed questionnaires crafted with the twenty-eight well-ordered factors, purposively selected, using statistisXL version 2021.2 software. Also, the result obtained by PCA indicates that factor reduction was achieved from twenty-eight variables to seven clusters using a scree plot graph. Furthermore, Cost of Material cluster 5 (consisting of dual factors; ‘stainless steel’ and ‘material selection’) wielded the highest factors loading of 0.847 and 0.779 respectively. This study has helped to justify unsatisfactory DM operating costs among poultry farmers in Nigeria and clarify challenges associated with the high cost of material selection in DM design.

Published: September 2022

Milliohm Meter is an instrument for measuring very small amount of resistance in a conductor, electric motor and transformer windings and in many other current sensing applications that cannot be measured with standard digital ohmmeters. The cost of commercially available milliohm meter is relatively high, making it unaffordable for hobbyists. In this work, a low-cost microcontroller based digital milliohm meter having three measurement sub-ranges was designed, constructed, tested and calibrated. The instrument, based on the PIC16f877A 8-bit microcontroller, used the lock-in detection technique to improve the measurement signal-to-noise ratio without requiring high current for measurement. The milliohm meter’s firmware was written with MicroC software by Mikroelektronika® and was simulated using Proteus® software by Labcenter Electronics. After construction and calibration, it was found to have resolutions of 82.9320 counts/mΩ, 9.1394 counts/mΩ, and 0.9221 counts/mΩ for the measurement ranges of 0 – 10mΩ, 0- 100mΩ and 0 – 1000mΩ respectively. Thus, the instrument is capable of measuring resistance value between 0Ω to 1Ω with good resolution values without requiring the computing power and display capabilities of a digital computer.

How Can Machine Learning Determine Whether a Women's Tennis Player Will Make it to Top 100?
Authors: Deshpande Saina , Klotzman Vanessa 
Published: September 2022

There are a lot of speculations within and outside of the tennis community about whether factors like height, age, and nationality play a role in the success of a tennis player. For this study, ‘success’ is defined as making it to the Top 100 ranked list. There have been studies in the past associating height of a tennis player with success, but this has primarily been done for men’s tennis players. In this study, we not only establish the relation between height and success of women tennis players but also consider two additional factors: age and nationality. We also mathematically conclude using Pearson’s correlation coefficient whether there is any statistical correlation between these three factors and success. Once we establish the relationship, we develop an AI model to predict future successful players based on historical tennis data. Since some of the earlier studies have already considered height as one of the success factors, our machine learning model uses Naïve Bayes’ to determine the probability of success using all three factors to predict success with an accuracy of 0.67 for dataset used. The individual Pearson correlation coefficients for height and age with success, demonstrating the applicability of factors in identifying a player’s potential for success are 0.23 and 0.19 respectively. Further research can be conducted by using more factors or larger dataset and could foster greater understanding of female success in tennis.

Further Exploration of Deep Aggregation for Shadow Detection
Authors: Islam Md Jahidul  , Faruq Omar 
Published: September 2022

Shadow detection is a fundamental challenge in the field of computer vision. It requires the network to understand the global semantics and local details of the image. All existing methods depend on the aggregation of the features of a multi-stage pre-trained convolution neural network but in comparison to high-level capabilities, low-level capabilities provide less to the detection performance. Using low-level features not only increases the complex difficulty of the network but also reduces the time efficiency. In this article, we propose a new shadow detector, which only uses high-level features and explores the complementary information between adjacent feature layers. Experiments show that the technique in this paper can accurately detect shadows and perform well compared with the most advanced methods. The detailed experiments performed in three public shadow detection datasets SUB, UCF, and ISTD demonstrate that the suggested method is efficient and stable.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the antioxidant potential of Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis) paste in chicken meatballs and its effect on physicochemical and sensory properties. Chicken meatballs were prepared with the inclusion of Indian gooseberry paste (GBP) at 0, 12%, 15%, and 18% levels. The emulsion pH, product pH, emulsion stability, and product yield were determined. DPPH Scavenging Activity (%) was studied to establish the antioxidant potential of the GBP in the product. Sensory properties were evaluated using 8 points hedonic scale. Emulsion pH and Product pH decreased significantly (P<0.05) with the addition of GBP. Product yield decreased significantly (P<0.05) with the addition of GBP for 15% and 18% levels. DPPH scavenging activity significantly (P<0.01) increased with an increase in the GBP inclusion level, where 18% treatment had the highest antioxidant potential followed by 15% and 12% treatments. The sensory scores for control and 12% treatment were comparable and significantly (P<0.05) lower for 15% and 18% treatments. From this study, it was observed that Indian gooseberry paste could be added as a potential antioxidant in the chicken meatballs, up to a level of 12% without affecting the sensory qualities of the product.

Introduction and Aim: Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) have emerged at an alarming rate. Multi locus sequence typing (MLST) is an important parameter for identifying drug resistant organisms. The present study was carried out for elucidating the mechanisms of CRE and MLSTs associated with CRE.
Materials and Methods: CRE (n=14) were obtained from various clinical samples and subjected to Rapidec Carba NP (CNP) test and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) and five isolates proceeded for whole genome sequencing (WGS). ?-lactamase (bla) genes were analysed using Resfinder and CARD tool. Bioinformatics tools: mlplasmids, plasmid finder, mobile element finder, and Center for Genomic Epidemiology (CGE) toolbox were used.
Results: All isolates (n=14) were positive for CNP and bla genes using M-PCR. Isolates (J21, J22, J23, J27) were identified as Escherichia coli while (J34) was Enterobacter hormaechei. MLST showed E. coli isolates (J21& J22) as ST648; E. coli (J23) was ST940; E. coli (J27) was ST 2851, and E. hormaechei (J34) was closest to ST1325. Genes blaTEM, blaNDM & blaampC were found to be present in all isolates; blaCTX-M was present in all E. coli isolates but not in E. hormaechei. blaOXA was present in E. coli (J23) and in E. hormaechei (J34); while ESBL blaSFO-1 in E. hormaechei (J34).
Conclusion: ESBLs (blaTEM & blaCTXM) and metallo beta-lactamase -MBL (blaNDM) cause carbapenem resistance in rare sequence types of E. coli while; ESBL (blaSFO-1) and MBL (blaNDM) cause carbapenem resistance in E. hormaechei.
