BACKGROUND Snake bite is an important occupational and rural hazard because India has always been a land of Exotic snakes. In Maharashtra, common poisonous snakes are Cobra, Russell's Viper, Saw Scaled Viper, and Krait. It is a fact that inspite of heavy morbidity and mortality, very little attention is paid by the clinicians to this occupational hazard. AIMS To study the prevalence of poison...

Snake bites occur commonly in the rural areas of South Africa. Hospitals where snake bites are uncommon should always have protocols on standby in the event of such cases presenting. This is the first reported case documenting the effect of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on snake bite in South African children.A case report and review of relevant information about the case was undertaken.We...

A one year retrospective study of snake bite cases admitted in a tertiary care hospital of western maharashtra. Original Article Aim: To determine the demographic characteristics & determinants of the outcome of Snake bite cases. METHODOLOGY: A Hospital record based retrospective study (Dec. 2010 to Nov.2011) was carried out & information regarding demographic characteristics & determinants of ...

This paper studies the target tracking control strategy of a snake robot and proposes an adaptive sliding mode method. The ensures follows path by controlling joint angle through feedback, pushing to reach position gait function. In order achieve tracking, kinematic model was first established in this paper. Then, we used double-sine serpentine solve problem low steering efficiency caused regul...

Snake robots are highly articulated mechanisms that can perform a variety of motions that conventional robots cannot. Despite many demonstrated successes of snake robots, these mechanisms have not been able to achieve the agility displayed by their biological counterparts. We suggest that studying how biological snakes coordinate whole-body motion to achieve agile behaviors can help improve the...

Nowadays, there have substantive research on road extraction automatically form RS images, restricted by low understanding level of images, the automatically extracting method is not robust, and a great many errors existed. The LSB-Snake model is an effective method to extract linear object semi-automatically, but needs manual input of road character for extraction, and not robust while the ini...

We establish braided tensor equivalences among module categories over the twisted quantum double of a finite group defined by an extension of a group G by an abelian group, with 3-cocycle inflated from a 3-cocycle on G. We also prove that the canonical ribbon structure of the module category of any twisted quantum double of a finite group is preserved by braided tensor equivalences. We give two...
