objective: regardless of three decades of implementation of family planning program in nepal, need of family planning services is largely unmet. systematic studies, evaluating the impact of family program on several ethnic groups of nepal has not been carried out in large scale. this study sheds light on the investigation of, whether the use of contraceptives varies among different ethnic group...

‎a $(p‎,‎q)$ graph $g$ is said to have a $k$-odd mean‎ ‎labeling $(k ge 1)$ if there exists an injection $f‎ : ‎v‎ ‎to {0‎, ‎1‎, ‎2‎, ‎ldots‎, ‎2k‎ + ‎2q‎ - ‎3}$ such that the‎ ‎induced map $f^*$ defined on $e$ by $f^*(uv) =‎ ‎leftlceil frac{f(u)+f(v)}{2}rightrceil$ is a‎ ‎bijection from $e$ to ${2k - ‎‎‎1‎, ‎2k‎ + ‎1‎, ‎2k‎ + ‎3‎, ‎ldots‎, ‎2‎ ‎k‎ + ‎2q‎ - ‎3}$‎. ‎a graph that admits $k$...

traumatic injuries are leading causes of spinal cord damage. the purpose of this study was to evaluate whether wrestling induced cervical spondylosis amongst professional wrestlers or not. to test this assumption, two groups of athletes, 72 wrestlers versus 76 non-wrestlers 15-55 years of age were studied. radiographic findings and clinical assessment were compared in both groups. significant d...

A detailed discussion of the point in polygon problem for arbitrary polygons is given. Two concepts for solving this problem are known in literature: the even-odd rule and the winding number, the former leading to ray-crossing, the latter to angle summation algorithms. First we show by mathematical means that both concepts are very closely related, thereby developing a first version of an algor...

let g(v,e) be a graph with p vertices and q edges. a graph g is said to have an odd mean labeling if there exists a function f : v (g) → {0, 1, 2,...,2q - 1} satisfying f is 1 - 1 and the induced map f* : e(g) → {1, 3, 5,...,2q - 1} defined by f*(uv) = (f(u) + f(v))/2 if f(u) + f(v) is evenf*(uv) = (f(u) + f(v) + 1)/2 if f(u) + f(v) is odd is a bijection. a graph that admits an odd mean lab...
