Measurement Of Absorbed Outdoor Dose Rate Due To Gamma Radiation In Northern Part Of

Abstract: The health hazard due to background radiation is prime concern now a day. Chittagong has a lot of industry beside the residential area in the city. Except this, naturally radioactive material has a vital role to create health hazard for public. To assess the health hazard outdoor absorbed dose rate is one of the vital parameter. This parameter was measured by using survey meter in northern part of Chittagong City Corporation. The average value of outdoor absorbed dose rate was 0.022 mR/h. The corresponding dose equivalent is 0.22 µSv/h. This value is lower than the danger limit 0.5 µSv/h set by the Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission. In order to prepare a research-data-bank for the radiological thread, the output of this work will be useful

Supervised learning for Human Action Recognition from multiple Kinects

International audienceThe research of Human Action Recognition (HAR) has made a lot of progress in recent years, and the research based on RGB images is the most extensive. However , there are two main shortcomings: the recognition accuracy is insufficient, and the time consumption of the algorithm is too large. In order to improve these issues our project attempts to optimize the algorithm based on the random forest algorithm by extracting the features of the human body 3D, trying to obtain more accurate human behavior recognition results, and can calculate the prediction results at a lower time cost. In this study, we used the 3D spatial coordinate data of multiple Kinect sensors to overcome these problems and make full use of each data feature. Then, we use the data obtained from multiple Kinects to get more accurate recognition results through post processing

Death by 'ice': fatal methamphetamine intoxication of a body packer case detected by postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) and validated by autopsy

Fatal acute methamphetamine (MA) poisoning in cases of internal drug trafficking is rarely described in the literature. This case study reports an MA 'body packer' who died from fatal methamphetamine intoxication due to leaking drug packages in the alimentary tract. The deceased was examined by postmortem computed tomography (PMCT), and the results were correlated to subsequent autopsy and toxicological findings. The deceased was arrested by the police when he was found disoriented in the city of Kuala Lumpur. He was transferred to the emergency department on suspicion of drug abuse. The initial drug screening was reactive for amphetamines. Shortly after admission to the hospital, he died despite rigorous resuscitation attempts. The postmortem plain chest and abdominal radiographs revealed multiple suspicious opacities in the gastrointestinal tract attributable to body packages. An unenhanced whole body PMCT revealed twenty-five drug packages, twenty-four in the stomach and one in the transverse colon. At least two were disintegrating, and therefore leaking. The autopsy findings were consistent with the PMCT results. Toxicology confirmed the diagnosis of fatal methamphetamine intoxication
