New Delhi, Oct 27: Indian researchers have developed a new technique to assess fracture recovery. This technique, based on an artificial intelligence (AI) simulation model, could be helpful in predicting the improvement in fractures of the thigh bone after surgery. In addition, this technique can also help the surgeon choose the right implant or procedure before the surgery required for fracture healing. The researchers say this technique may be used to assess the healing outcomes of various fracture fixation strategies. This allows the optimal approach to be selected based on the patient's specific anatomical build and fracture type.

New Delhi, Jul 02: Bio-derived fuels are gaining widespread attention among the scientific community across the world. The work on biofuels is in response to the global call for reducing carbon emissions associated with the use of fossil fuels. In India too, biofuels have caught the imagination of researchers. For instance, researchers of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad have started using computational methods to understand the factors and impediments in incorporating biofuels into the fuel sector in India. A unique feature of this work is that the framework considers revenue generation not only as an outcome of sales of the biofuel but also in terms of carbon credits via greenhouse gas emission savings throughout the project lifecycle.
