SUMMARY The purpose of this study was to assess the role of primary health services in improving general health of children in chat rood villages, Kerman, Iran, by comparing growth and nutritional status of 0-5 year children in 1980 and 1984. Nutritional status was assessed, using anthropometric methods; in 1980, 1981, 1982, and 1984. The results were as follows; 1)between 1980 and 1982, t...

an experimental database is compiled in order to fingerprint the scales formed over the hot surfaces of heat exchangers, in cooling water systems or other systems with similar chemistry. to collect these data, a dynamic simulating pilot plant was designed with considerable application flexibility among which simultaneous flow of water with different velocity and heat fluxes to three simulating ...

this paper proposes an alternative approach for efficiency analysis when a set of dmus uses interval scale variables in the productive process. to test the influence of these variables, we present a general approach of deriving dea models to deal with the variables. we investigate a number of performance measures with unrestricted-in-sign interval and/or interval scale variables.

Background: From the 1950s to the mid-1970s, United Nations (UN) agencies were focused on protein malnutrition as the major worldwide nutritional problem. The goal of this review is to examine this era of protein malnutrition, the reasons for its demise, and the aftermath. Summary: The UN Protein Advisory Group was established in 1955. International conferences were largely concerned about prot...

Protein deficiency was reported to cause normocytic normochromic anaemia in rhesus monkeys (Sood et al., 1965). Adams et al., (1967) were impressed by the similarity between the anaemia in protein deficient rhesus monkeys and anaemia in kwashiorkor. Ghitis et al., {1963) and Allen & Dean {1965) were also of the opinion that protein deficiency was an important cause of anaemia in kwashiorkor. Th...
