Palakkad: (KVARTHA) A team of researchers from NSS Engineering College in Palakkad has been granted a patent for a groundbreaking method to assess muscle composition. This innovative approach aims to help athletes choose the sports that best suit their unique muscle structures. Led by Professor G. Venugopal from the Instrumentation and Control Engineering department, the research also involved Professor S. Ramakrishnan from IIT Madras and scholars Remya R. Nair and Divya Sasidharan. Traditionally, determining muscle composition has relied on invasive methods like muscle biopsies, which involve extracting tissue samples. These procedures are expensive, time-consuming, and impractical for widespread use. The new method, however, offers a significant advancement by analyzing electrical signals received from the skin surface to identify variations in muscle composition. This non-invasive approach is both cost-effective and more accessible. This innovation holds immense potential across var...
Delhi : Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has stirred up a storm with his recent allegations in the Delhi Assembly, claiming that Gujarat has become the epicentre of India's drug trade.
