The earlier type of fire fighter robot has four wheels attached to its chassis in which the front two control direction body chassis. And robots usually a fixed water hose is able extinguish only certain distance. objective our project operate for detecting with 360 degree rotatable wheel helps reaching out fired place minimal time duration and prevents spread less than usual splashing hose.

The circular economy (CE) is a promising model in industrial waste management, offering viable long-term resource sustainability. rising costs of the oil and gas industry make circularity reliable approach for saving materials, money, energy. In recent years, attention has risen to need apply CE within produced water (PW) treatment. most common treatment practice PW based on mechanical treatmen...

As an abundant natural resource in Asia, bamboo is receiving increased attention as an engineering material due to its renewability and excellent strength. The parallel-to-grain compression and shearing properties of moso bamboo culm were examined. The growth characteristics (bamboo age, nodes, and location along the culm), as well as treatments for practical applications (hole punching and hoo...

Robust network design refers to a class of optimization problems that occur when designing networks to efficiently handle variable demands. The notion of “hierarchical hubbing” was introduced (in the narrow context of a specific robust network design question), by Olver and Shepherd [14]. Hierarchical hubbing allows for routings with a multiplicity of “hubs” which are connected to the terminals...

We report the death of a young male attributed to chloroform poisoning during autoerotic asphyxia. He was found lying on the floor of his apartment, prone on a piece of foam and a towel. His eyes were bound with a towel, his lower face and nose were almost entirely covered with duct tape surrounding a rubber hose in his mouth. The other end of the hose was loosely sitting inside an open bottle ...

This paper proposes both the design concept and the driving mechanism of a flexible robot with multiple degrees of freedom to dive into debris. Up to now, several kinds pneumatic robots with flexibility have been developed, however, they couldn’t perform multiple degrees of freedom with high bending moment. Then a new type of robot, called “Active Hose,” is proposed here, which has multiple deg...

The annual American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ “Plastic Surgery: The Meeting” is always filled with great educational events and endeavors, and the 2015 gathering in Boston was truly exceptional. Perhaps the most memorable and most rewarding panel that we had the honor and pleasure to be a part of was the Medical Student Session, moderated by one of the first Plastic and Reconstructive Surger...

Background A literature review did not reveal any study investigating the prevalence of depression among plastic surgery residents. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional mail survey and included all Saudi Plastic Surgery residents in our local program in Saudi Arabia. The Beck Depression Inventory II was used. Results The inventory showed that mild, moderate, and severe depressive symptoms...
