Abstract:
The disclosure relates generally to the field of medical devices for accessing body lumens. In an embodiment, a catheter may comprise a shaft comprising a proximal end, a distal end, an actuating portion proximal to the distal end, and a first lumen extending along a length of the shaft between the proximal and distal ends. A plurality of slots may be disposed and spaced-apart from each other along the actuating portion. The plurality of slots may extend radially into the first lumen.

Abstract:
Stubble burning and its resultant pollutants have adversely affected the environment and posed serious health hazards. It is very important to understand the situation from farmer's perspective and from the perspective of conserving environment. In the present study, a critical analysis of stubble burning and its effects on the neighboring city of Delhi has been done with the help of satellite imagery and simultaneously analyzing the air quality index. The effect of pollutant dispersion on neighboring areas has been studied at the time point when stubble burning takes place and over similar following time intervals in the adjoining area. Furthermore, this study conducts an economic analysis of biogas plant establishment, biogas generation and sale. Thus, this study provides an opportunity analysis on how the stubble can be put into better use to produce utilizable cooking gas and fertilizers, which can directly benefit farmers, besides being economically and environmentally rewarding. The paper concludes with policy related suggestions.
