Gesture Recognition using Sensors for Physically Disabled Patients[ ]


In Today’s world many people are suffering from Physical disabilities and most of the physically disabled patients dependent on care takers. A physical disability is a limitation on a person’s physical functioning, mobility or stamina. In extreme cases, the patient may be speech impaired which makes it difficult for him to communicate with others and to express his needs. Providing solution to these inabilities is the prime motive of this proposed work. The physically disabled persons require special assistance from care takers or other persons to lead their normal life and even at home it is not convenient for them to control the home appliances according to their wish. Apart from this, it is also difficult to continuously monitor the health of the patient.

Surgical Correction of Congenital Macrostomia in Cattle Calf[ ]


Congenital macrostomia is a very rare deformity of the mouth, and it is still rarer to see cases of isolated unilateral (right) macrostomia. The condition has not been reported in cattle calves so far. Although the creation of a symmetric neo-commissure is imperative, this presents a technical challenge. A review of the literature for surgical solutions revealed various techniques. This report presents the case of a 15 days old non-descript male cattle calf with isolated right unilateral macrostomia for whom straight line closure was performed. After one-month follow-up, the oral commissures are symmetric and no lateral migration of neo commissure seen.

Bilingual Education and the Factors of Success in South Africa and Australia[ ]


Bilingual education is an academic setting where the curriculum is taught in two different languages. This implies the idea that students are taught in one language half of the time and another language half the time. However, this is not always the norm and in fact there are more situations along the lines of this: the students are taught in their native language and their textbooks are in their native language. The teachers will write on the board in a second language and make their students copy the notes down into their notebooks.
