A posterior urethral valve is an obstructing membrane in the posterior part of male urethra leading to renal failure and death occurring in 1:5000 to 8000 male live births. The incidence of intrauterine deaths related to posterior urethral valve is under reported. The cause for the occurrence is unclear. Posterior Urethral Valve syndrome is a syndrome of obstructive uropathy resulting in hypertrophy of bladder, ureters and dysplasia of the kidneys. Prenatal ultrasonography is a gold standard diagnostic tool. The fetal autopsy conducted over the case presented here demonstrates all the classical findings of the obstructive uropathy (renal dysplasia, hydronephrosis, bladder hypertrophy, hydro ureters). The case reiterates the importance of prenatal ultrasonography and meticulous fetal autopsy to determine the cause of intra uterine fetal death.Keywords

Infliction of cut-throat injuries with the intention of homicide or suicide is common in India. The main features that differentiate the homicidal and suicidal cut-throat injuries are the presence of hesitation cuts, depth of the wound, signs of struggle, edges of the wound, etc. Presence of injuries that are contradicting with the classical descriptions provided in the standard literature were found in a couple suffering from psychiatric illness, which is the highlight of this case report.Keywords

The Next Generation Wireless Networks (NGWN) are envisioned to offer abundant services to its users. Quality of Service (QoS) needs varies amongst users as per application requirements and user class. Hence both from the service provider as well as user point of view user differentiation is an important aspect in NGWN. Optimal revenue generation along with guaranteeing the agreed upon QoS to the users’ is a challenging problem for the network service providers. With more number of users in the system more revenue will be generated, but guaranteeing the agreed upon QoS becomes difficult. Call Admission Control (CAC) directly controls the number of users in the system and hence must be carefully designed. This paper proposes a differential access model for CAC mechanism in NGWN based on the users’ QoS needs. The model is based on allocating more number of channels to high priority users as compared to low priority users. The simulation results for call blocking probability of different user classes and the system are presented.Keywords

Nature, an interdisciplinary scientific journal, is one of the world's most reputed journals. It has been ranked the world's most cited scientific journal by the Science Edition of 2014 Journal Citation Reports, and is widely regarded as one of the few remaining academic journals that publish original research across a wide range of scientific fields. Academic Ranking of World Universities considers papers specifically published in Nature as a criterion for its world rankings. In 2009, Nature was named as the 'journal of the century' by the Bio-Medical and Life Sciences Division (DBIO) of the Special Libraries Association (SLA), USA. Needless to say, having a paper published in Nature is considered prestigious. The present study aims to show India's output in this journal.Full Text

Today, electronic journals (e-journals) reign supreme in the scholarly communication landscape. In the print journals era gone by, libraries owned the print journals subscribed by them. Consequently, it is still possible to retrieve an article from the journal held by a library, however distantly located. This is irrespective of a print journal having been discontinued by the publisher or closure of the journal publishing house itself.Full Text

Globally, the use of English language has been continuously increasing and English is reported to be the most widely learned second language. In scholarly communication too, English has become the preferred language although it is well known that many scientific terminologies and words are derived from Latin and Greek. It has been reported that 'science reached the end of its Latin when in 2012 International Code of Botanical Nomenclature declared as no longer obligatory that the Linnaean binomial classification, but also the description of candidates for new species, be in Latin'.Full Text

Optimum selection of machining parameters and its cutting conditions plays a major role in increase of productivity and minimization of total machining time. A significant improvement in process may lead to increase the process efficiency and low cost of manufacturing. In this research, Spindle speed, Feed rate, Depth of cut and End relief angle is considered as an input parameter for facing the A22E Bimetal bearing material using M42 HSS tool material. A second order mathematical model is developed using Design of Experiments (DoE) of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to predict machining time on bimetal bearing material using special Industrial type of CNC lathe. The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to study the performance characteristics in facing operation. The values of Prob>F less than 0.05 indicate model terms are significant. Design Expert software is used to analyze the direct and interaction effects of the machining parameter. The genetic algorithm (GA) is trained and tested using MATLAB 7.0. The GA recommends 1.169 seconds as the best minimum predicted machining time value. The confirmatory test shows the second order regression predicted values and experimental values were very close and good agreement.

Madhu has given a detailed account of a video journal and highlighted the need for developing a similar medium in India. When the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) was launched about a decade ago, there was some skepticism about it. Today, the video journal is not only an accepted format, but many longstanding as well as new journals include videos as supplementary content to the articles. However, the video journal is only one of the many formats of scholarly journals that have emerged since the turn of the 21st century.Full Text

There have been periodic discussions on the state of Indian Science and Technology (S&T) journals. Several reasons have been attributed for the low quality of these journals. Different authors at different points in time have articulated steps and approaches to strengthen the Indian S&T journals. One of the long-held contentions has been that the best of Indian scientists should choose Indian journals over foreign ones to publish their best works. This article traces key discussions of the last 90 years and revisits some of the contentions.Keywords

Studies on gender disparity in science, technology, engineering and medicine (STEM) are gathering considerable attention across the globe. Almost in every field of STEM a male predominance can be noticed. Gender analysis in popular science writing has not been studied so far. The present study was carried out to analyse the gender dimension in popular science writing in India using Science Reporter, India’s leading popular science magazine. All the issues of the monthly magazine published between 2010 and 2020 were analysed. The study supports the hypothesis that gender disparity is evident even in popular science writing. The number of articles contributed by women is considerably lower than men. Women tend to show more interest in collaboration in popular science writingKeywords

Polylactic acid (PLA), also known as polylactide, is a thermoplastic polyester that is commonly used in Fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing and is considered one of the world's far more widely used bio-plastics. PLA is considered biodegradable and environmentally beneficial, unlike petrochemical-based polymers. This is a low-cost product that could be used in a variety of applications, including food packaging, tissue scaffolding, and biomedical devices. This proposed study is primarily concerned with an in-depth investigation of polylactic acid's mechanical strength and its optimization. The L-9 orthogonal array is adopted by utilizing the Taguchi design of experiments, with input characteristics such as Printing speed, Infill density, and Layer height for the fabrication of nine different sets of flexural and compressive specimens as per ASTM standards using FDM. The responses such as compressive strength and flexural strength are optimized using Taguchi Analysis – S/N Ratios and ANOVA. Similarly, this research reveals a statistical link between input elements and responses. According to the current study, the ideal parameter levels for Flexural and Compression strengths have been found and confirmation Tests have also been conducted according to the optimized process parameter levels as obtained in the Taguchi analysis.Keywords
