    A new approach is proposed to analyze the live crowd and to provide an alert at the time of congestion, over-crowding and sudden gathering of pedestrians in a particular region. This paper proposes a completely software-oriented approach using MATLAB where it uses object detection and object tracking using Faster R- CNN (Region Based Convolutional Neural Network) algorithm where inception model of Google is used as CNN model which is pre-trained. This proposed method gives significant result on proposed dataset and the crowd congestion using Faster R-CNN approach which gives an accuracy of 93.503% at the rate 28 frames per second and the crowd detected video frames are uploaded to cloud storage

    Obstructive sleep apnea is a common sleep related breathing disorder. The demand for sleep medicine services has increased exponentially since the recognition of sleep apnea as a disease in the 1960s. The involvement of dentists in the treatment of sleep apnea has increased. It is important that dentists are aware of the problem of sleep disorders and the potential they have to help in their management

    Managing Class II Malocclusion Using Twin Block Therapy in a Young Adolescent male: A Case report

    Get PDF
    Patients with untapped development potential benefit greatly from twin block therapy. However, a variety of patient-related characteristics, including age, gender, patient compliance, and other arbitrary criteria, complicate its effective application. Orthopaedics and growth modification can use the right forces to repair the malocclusion if given the proper care in a timely manner. When a patient has a retruded mandible and is presenting with a positive visual treatment objective, the appliance is quite effective. In this work, a successful skeletal alteration is described in the instance of a male patient, age 11, who had the typical twin block appliance indication

     A prototype model of automated flower string machine is proposed to knot the flowers. In India’s rich culture flower garlands play a vital role. They are used for decorations and adorations of Gods, men and women. Garlanding of flower is a monotonous and time- consuming job. The flower string machine is conceptualized based on the working principle of sewing machine and added multiple kinematic mechanisms to drive the flower feeding and stringing. The flowers will be placed on the conveyor belt and based on process control technique; an innovative knotting mechanism will be used to string the flowers. It is also a customized machine for armless and loss of fingers community. Flower tying machine ensures perfect garlanding in an affordable cost. By this technique, the manual work can be reduced and flower vendors can utilize their time effectively

    Aim: Green tea is healthy beverage and is a part of our day to day life. Similarly, chamomile tea is known for its aspirin like properties. Beneficial effects of these tea includes protection against dental caries, periodontal disease and tooth loss and found that can a decrease in streptococcus mutans count as well as increase in pH. Hence the present study was to compare the pH of saliva and plaque, before and after the intake of green tea and to evaluate the role of green tea and chamomile tea on growth of s.mutans in culture using saliva. Material and Methods: Salivary samples were collected from 30 healthy individuals aged 20-30 years with certain criteria. The pH of saliva was determined by collecting samples before, immediately after and 15 min, 30 min after drinking tea using pH meter. Similarly the microbial colonies were also counted. The Data obtained were analyzed using Wilcoxon’s, Friedman's and Mann Whitney test. Results: There was statistically no significant difference between salivary streptococcus mutans count before and after (p 0.001) intake of green tea and chamomile tea. Conclusion: The result of the present study has proved that consumption of green tea and chamomile tea inhibit salivary Streptococcus mutans count and cause reduction of pH in saliva. So, it is advisable to encourage the regular consumption of this widely available, tasty and inexpensive beverage as an interesting alternative to other drinks
