BACKGROUND To achieve a child mortality reduction according to millennium development goal 4, it is necessary to considerably reduce neonatal mortality. We report stillbirth and early neonatal mortality risks as well as determinants of perinatal mortality in Eastern Uganda. METHODS A community-based prospective cohort study was conducted between 2006 and 2008. A total of 835 pregnant women we...

the effect of tillage (conventional and zero tillage), crop establishment (raised-bed and flat-bed), and weed management practices (herbicide alone and integrated approach) was studied on productivity, profitability, nutrient uptake and physico-chemical properties of soil in soybean–wheat cropping system, at new delhi during 2010–2012. sixteen treatment combinations consisting of four tillage a...

It is almost impossible for a majority of the students to create the same environment at home that they have at school to prepare and review. To solve this problem, the authors have developed and tested a Live CD to distribute to students so they can do their work away from the school. Moreover, we developed some application software for children because of availably for not only the university...

OBJECTIVES Our aim was to evaluate Korea's Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan. METHODS We conducted a sensitivity analysis on the expected number of outpatients and hospital bed occupancy, with 1,000,000 parameter combinations, in a situation of pandemic influenza, using the mathematical simulation program InfluSim. RESULTS Given the available resources in Korea, antiviral treatment and s...

the excellent performance of fluidized bed heat exchangers is due to the interaction between particles and heat transfer surface and to the mixing effects in the viscous sublayer. in this paper, the results of experimental investigations on heat transfer for a wide range of newtonian and non-newtonian (shear-thinning power law) fluids are presented. new design equations have been developed for ...
