No two projects are alike in converting a technical innovation to a market facing solution. Hence the road map for a given invention has to be custom designed. Yet basic concepts are common and we can learn to build the road map through case studies. One such study on urethral strictures is presented here.
This meta-analysis evaluates the reliability of published evidence on regenerative endodontic procedures. It summarizes clinical and radiographic findings from studies on treating non-vital immature permanent teeth using regenerative techniques. The analysis finds good success rates for tooth survival and pathology resolution, but variable results for outcomes like apex closure and root development. Regenerative procedures are improving but factors important for success remain unclear, indicating more research is needed.

An Assessment of Problems and Preferences in Medical Imaging of Pediatric Pat...ijtsrd
Medical Imaging is extremely valuable as a diagnostic tool in the pediatric population, but it comes with a number of distinct challenges as compared to the imaging of adults. This is because of the following: It requires dedicated imaging protocols to acquire the images, there is need for sedation or general anesthesia for longer procedures such as MRI, specific training is required for the healthcare personnel involved, thorough knowledge and expertise should be applied for evaluating the images, and most importantly, it requires consideration for radiation exposure if ionizing radiation is being used. One of the challenges for clinical care personnel is to gain the childs trust and co-operation before and throughout the duration of an examination, which can prove to be difficult in children who may be ill and have pain. This is important to acquire quality images and prevent repeat examinations. Even with a quality examination, the accurate interpretation of images requires a thorough knowledge of the intricate and dynamic face of anatomy and specific pathological presentations in children. The increased radiation sensitivity of growing organs and childrens longer expected life spans make them more susceptible to the harmful effects of radiation. Imaging pediatric patients in a dedicated pediatric imaging department with dedicated pediatric CT technologists may result in greater compliance with pediatric protocols and significantly reduced patient dose. In order to prevent the harmful effects of ionizing radiation, As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle should be strictly followed.

Intelligent and Smart Systems define the cutting edge of information technology now. They are invisible yet ubiquitous. From identifying individual student’s lack of attention to suggesting remedial measures, from predicting financial failures to preventing future fraud, and from assisting noninvasive surgery to guiding missiles to moving targets, the Artificial Intelligence based applications are stepping into every domain.
Numerous concerns have emerged in parallel. Should they be permitted to run a completely human less system? Can they be assigned all cognitive non routine tasks that humans are good at? Are they effective communicators and consensus builders? What role should they play in decision making? How good are they in picking up data compared to human senses? These and many other questions have surfaced in many fora.
Data used in model building adds another dimension. How unbiased are the data sets used in training? Can a data set be ever unbiased? What are the consequences of data bias in models and algorithms?

An abridged version of this article was published in "Report: IITMAA Sangam 2019 - Reimagining India in 2030"
This document summarizes a presentation on disruptive digital innovations for responsive and sustainable global supply chain management. The presentation discusses four disruptive models: inventory information sharing systems between competitors to reduce stockouts; smart systems that allow product customization and remote upgrades; demand sensing using machine learning to improve short-term forecasts; and digital twins to continuously evaluate and optimize supply chain networks through simulation. The models aim to help supply chains sense demand shifts quickly and fulfill needs through altered processes, improving responsiveness in volatile markets.
Graduating students are endowed with two Oars to navigate their way through the ocean of life. First one is about learning to learn. Second oar is the attitude and belief they carry. Through numerous examples from my life and from that of well known people I convey the thought that they need to use these two oars to move through turbulent waters. The students are also advised to grab the career opportunities through technologies known as SMAC and embark on a journey of self discovery.
The document proposes modeling the global financial crisis using a supply chain management approach. It outlines a four-layer model to show flows between countries, industries, firms, and customer segments. The model would explore flows of obligations and commitments in addition to goods, funds, and information. This would help analyze how vulnerabilities spread from the subprime mortgage crisis to the broader financial system and global economy.
Information sharing is a major challenge in SCM due to the geographical spread of partners and monumental paper work involved across countries and regions. Digitisation impacts the flow of goods, funds and information. It is at the threshold of introducing the Smart Factory where all flows are automated. How relevant are these technologies for India? What can be the Smart Approach for India in sequencing the adoption of these technologies? We present a suggested approach here.
Supply Chain Management has evolved over time with frequent inputs from strategic innovations, technology changes and connectivity paradigms. It will continue to be so in coming decades when IIoT, Machine Learning , 3D Printing and Blockchain technologies mature. As the market place moves towards mass customising SCM professionals need to adopt more and more of Gray thinking rather than the conventional black or white approach.
AI and its allied technolgies present an exciting scenario of job changes in coming decades. So are the concerns about loss of traditional jobs. What would be the net impact? We explore the economic models and concepts that allay unfound fears; yet warn us to be ready for constant changes and need for continuous skill rebuilding.
Soft skills such as Empathy, Assertiveness,Proactiveness, Passion and Ability to construct win win solutions play a critical role in career development. They need to be cascaded on top of the technical expertise that one has to build. These are illustrated with many role play examples for effective teaching in a class room environment.
Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, IIoT and Blockchain are threatening to take away millions of conventional jobs over the next three decades. They have the potential to create even more jobs for he future. But the structural changes in job markets would be painful and would vary from country to country. This presentation suggests a macro model for India to be ready to face the challenges.
The career opportunities emerging, due to technology, in coming decades, is amazing. So do entrepreneurial opportunites. Every student has to be either an entrepreneur or intrapreneur to stay employed.
Both the industry and academia are keen to derive synergy from their relationship; in particular in research partnership. Yet many a time they fall short in what can be achieved. We present a collaboration framework that can enhance the effectiveness.
Sampling is a powerful tool to obtain valuable information about a population quickly and at a fraction of the cost. But the sample size and sampling plan have to be proper to yield scientifically valid and acceptable conclusions. We describe this challenge in understandable terms for all and back it up with sufficient statistical concepts for the benefit of students.
The Indian IT services industry has grown significantly over the past few decades due to globalization. Factors like low costs and a skilled workforce gave India an initial advantage, but investments in skills, quality processes, and partnerships with global technology companies helped the industry develop and access international markets. As the industry matured, Indian firms offered high-quality outsourcing services to clients and grew rapidly, especially during periods like the Y2K transition. Continued success depends on constantly upgrading skills, focusing on employees, balancing quality and cost, managing global supply chains effectively, and innovating vendor relationships.
Numerous new financial products are created by bundling mortgages, credit card dues etc. They are tranched to create sub products with varying risks and rewards. The financial crisis of 2007-08 owes its origin to these products.
IT Service Firms employ hundreds of thousands of technical staff. At any given time more than 25000 sit on bench in large firms. The decision to keep them on bench,versus train them on new skills or let go can be modeled using mathematical programming to arrive at the best decision.
