The Ministry of Social Welfare, Government of India, launched in October, 1975 a total of 33 Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Projects (19 rural, 10 tribal and 4 urban) with the specific objectives of improving the nutritional and health status of children in the age group of 0-5+ years, reducing the incidence of mortality, morbidity, mal-nutrition and school drop-out and enhancing ...

Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) therapy has revolutionized the management of many forms of anal incontinence, with an expanded use and a medium-term efficacy of 75% overall. This review discusses the technique of SNM therapy, along with its complications and troubleshooting and a discussion of the early data pertaining to peripheral posterior tibial nerve stimulation in incontinent patients. Futur...

Tissue function depends on hierarchical structures extending from single cells (B10 lm) to functional subunits (100 lm– 1 mm) that coordinate organ functions. Conventional cell culture disperses tissues into single cells while neglecting higher-order processes. The application of semiconductordriven microtechnology in the biomedical arena now allows fabrication of microscale tissue subunits tha...

ABSTRACT As a fresh food, sweet potatoes are highlighted for their taste and appearance. In the industry, they valued starch sugar content. both scenarios, much attention has been given to composition of bioactive compounds. The application abiotic stresses seems induce an overproduction these compounds in some vegetables. objective was examine influence harvest time on synthesis accumulation v...

To test whether atypical number development may affect other types of quantity processing, we investigated temporal discrimination in adults with developmental dyscalculia (DD). This also allowed us to test whether number and time may be sub-served by a common quantity system or decision mechanisms: if they do, both should be impaired in dyscalculia, but if number and time are distinct they sho...

For thousands of years engineers have dreamed of building machines with vision capabilities that match their own. However most image processing algorithms are computationally intensive making real-time implementation di cult, expensive and not usually possible with microprocessor based hardware. In this project a computationally intensive image-processing algorithm is implemented, analysed, and...

abstract background: the radiographic image accuracy depends on the x-ray film information visibility. good visibility is found by good contrast. radiation exposure parameters (kvp, mas) and film processing conditions have impact on contrast. in dentistry radiography machines, exposure time and processing procedure are set by radiographer. no optimized exposure time and processing conditions ma...
