Designing bulbous bows for ships remains a challenging task. Their impact on different design attributes as well their change in performance when operating off intended condition renders this multidimensional problem. This paper explores the application of machine learning techniques to sample in-service vessel data develop preliminary tool. The ships' was analysed together with bow generate mo...

The tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome (TRPS) type I is a rare genetic disorder related to the TRPS1 gene mutation in chromosome 8, characterized by craniofacial abnormalities and disturbances in formation and maturation of bone matrix. The hallmarks are sparse and brittle hair, tendency to premature baldness, bulbous nose called pear-shaped, long and flat filter and low ear implantation. The mos...

Ring chromosomes are rare chromosomal anomalies and usually not stable in nature. Patients carrying ring chromosome have various phenotypes depending on the degree of structural rearrangement. A 1-year-old boy, presenting with hypotonia, blepharophimosis, ptosis, a bulbous nose, mild psychomotor retardation, and epilepsy, was found to have mosaicism of chromosome ring 14 and monosomy 14. His ka...

A very short, microcephalic, and mentally retarded 2 year old girl showed minor anomalies including prominent occiput, delayed closure of the anterior fontanelle, high frontal hairline, prominent ears, upward slanting palpebral fissures, a small nose with bulbous tip, delayed tooth eruption and bone maturation, and short and tapering fingers and toes. She did not have a white forelock. Cytogene...

A new isopod genus is described from the Canada Basin, Nymphodora gen. nov. The type species of the genus, Nymphodora fletcheri (Paul & George, 1975) comb. nov., was first described as Desmosomatidae in the genus Mirabilicoxa and then later assigned to Chelibranchus by Kussakin (1999). However, the species bears characters with a greater affinity to Nannoniscidae, such as a bulbous terminal art...

Male urethral diverticula are rare and can be congenital or acquired. We report a case of acquired urethral diverticulum presenting as a scrotal mass in a paraplegic male. On physical examination, the scrotal mass mimicked a primary intrascrotal lesion. However, on retrograde urethrography, the correct diagnosis was made. The patient had a small incontinent spastic bladder with a history of pro...
