Death certification of "suicide by cop" is controversial among some medical examiners and coroners. We present five such deaths that were certified as suicides and discuss the medico-legal issues involved with these certifications. To certify such a death as a suicide, certain criteria should be met. Suicide by cop is a circumstance that involves competing intentional acts that may result in di...

Constrictive bronchiolitis is a bronchiolar airway disease that surrounds the lumen with fibrotic concentric narrowing and obliteration. The mosaic pattern seen on the expiratory high-resolution chest CT scan is diagnostic in an individual with shortness of breath, early inspiratory crackles, and irreversible airflow obstruction. Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome is no longer considered a congenital...

Safety Health and Environment Code of Practice (SHE COP) was developed to help road transportation operators to manage its operation in a systematic and safe manner. A study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of SHE COP implementation during non-OPS period. The objective of the study is to evaluate the implementations of SHE COP among bus operators during wee hour operations. The data...

This paper presents a cost-effective method to increase the COP and utility of a domestic refrigerator using R-134a refrigerant. A cabin was installed on the top of a domestic refrigerator with condenser coils of refrigerator serving as heating coils inside the cabin. Known quantity of water was heated by the condenser coils (due to convection currents) thereby increasing the overall COP of the...

BACKGROUND Stability during standing is achieved by a complex process which involves the performance of various systems. Using a force plate for analysing the stability for a period of one minute has been reported exclusively by many investigators. Most of people stand for a long period of time when chatting with somebody, doing a job and when waiting in a queue. However nobody has analysed the...

Cops and Robbers is a vertex-pursuit game played on graphs which has received much recent attention. Graphs where one cop has a winning strategy, so-called cop-win graphs, were discovered in the early 1980’s by Nowakowski and Winkler and independently by Quilliot. Since their introduction, the structure of cop-win graphs has been relatively well-understood. Cop-win graphs possess a vertex elimi...
