We report a case of 1-year 7-month-old boy who presented with impacted peanut in the secondary bronchus. An alternative method of dislodging the impacted foreign body was used in this case with concomitant chest percussions during rigid bronchoscopy. This method helped to dislodge the peanut successfully.This article appeared in a journal published

The aim of this paper is to present a hybrid electrical air-cushion tracked vehicle (HETAV) for the operation on swamp peat. Mathematical models are incorporated with accounting kinematics and dynamics behaviors of the vehicle. Sinkage of the HETAV is sensed by an ultrasonic displacement (UD) sensor, in order to operate the air-cushion system. The

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are dynamically self-organized and self-configured, with the nodes in the network automatically establishing an ad hoc network and preserving the mesh connectivity. There are several features which might help to design an efficient routing protocol suitable for wireless mesh networks such as improved performance metric
