OBJECTIVE To demonstrate that use of lower doses of anti-snake venom is as effective as high doses and is associated with less complications and lower mortality especially in the wake of rising cost of medical treatment, the people most affected by snakebites being the poor farmers. METHODOLOGY A prospective descriptive study consisting of 54 snakebite patients fulfilling the inclusion criter...

this article presents an implementation of a reinforcement learning (rl) method for a snake like robot navigation. the paper starts with developing kinematics and dynamics model of a snake robot in serpentine locomotion followed by performing simulation and finishes with actual experimentation. first, gibbs-appell's method is used to obtain the robot dynamics. the robot is also modeled in simme...

This writing deals with an analysis of Pantun Kelakar written by Tenas Effendy focusing on 4 ( four) them and the animate metaphors animal metaphors) used in these four pantuns exploring how those reflects leaders’ characters. study is descriptive where this aims to describe existing phenomena. In case, describes effendy which satire leaders. The found are; crocodile, monkey, lion snake, animal...

neutralization effects of acorus calamus and withania somnifera root extracts were tested against echis carinatus venom. both plant extracts were effectively neutralized the various pharmacological activities induced by echis carinatus venom. about 0.14 mg of acorus calamus and 0.16 mg of withania somnifera root extracts were able to completely neutralize the lethal activity of 2ld 50 of echis ...

snake robots are hyper-redundant robots that are connected with one or two dof joints. they offer a number of potential advantages beyond the capabilities of most wheeled and legged robots. in this paper, kinematics and dynamics of a planar multi-link snake robot in worm-like locomotion on an inclined surface is investigated. in this locomotion, snake robot is able to move in the vertical plane...

Snake bite injuries and death are socio-medical problems of considerable magnitude. In India a large number of people suffer and die every year due to snake venom poisoning. Snake venom, though greatly feared, is a natural biological resource, containing several components that could be of potential therapeutic value. Use of snake venom in different pathophysiological conditions has been mentio...
