 Abstract

The daily rainfall data for the period of 39 years (1980-2018) were collected from the National Data Center (NDC), India Meteorological Department (IMD), Pune, India for Hisar (Haryana) situated in semi-arid zone of North India. Every year, the region faces adverse effects of moisture deficiency. Generally, potential evapotranspiration requirements exceed the rainfall during eight months in a year except the monsoon season (June-September). The data were processed and analyzed to establish the long term averages of rainfall and variability on weekly, monthly, seasonal and annual basis. Different descriptive statistics techniques like mean, standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) were carried out. During the study period, the rainfall data showed that the annual daily rainfall received ranged between 257.5 mm (minimum) in 1997 to 691.6 mm (maximum) in 1988 indicating a very large range of fluctuation. The normal annual rainfall at Hisar was 411.1 mm with SD of 114.8 and CV of 27.9 %. The normal annual rainy day and crop day was 28 and 20.2 days with SD of 5 and 4.4 and CV of 17.8 and 20.2 %. July received maximum normal rainfall of 109.5 mm followed by August (90.2 mm). The stable rainfall period was of 16 weeks, which spread over 24th to 39th standard meteorological weeks (SMW). During South West (SW) monsoon season (June to September), seasonal normal rainfall was 275 mm which contributed 75 per cent to the total annual normal rainfall with a coefficient of variation of 44.4 per cent.

 Abstract

Water the major natural resource on earth, Nowadays there are many reasons left for the contamination of water. According to the survey done by UNICEF states that abundance of contaminated water has a disastrous effect on Children. Excessive intake of fluoride (F), mainly through drinking water, is a serious health hazard affecting humans worldwide. There are several methods used for the defluoridation of drinking water. Fluoride in excess of the permissible limits in drinking water causes a number of endemic conditions referred to collectively as fluorosis. Endemic fluorosis remains a challenging national health problem in India. Telangana is the worst affected states in India though a wide range of chemical and physical defluoridation systems were evolved and tried. The primary reason for the diseases like fluorosis, paraplegia, arthritis and many other cardiovascular diseases in rural areas like Nalgonda a district in Telangana , INDIA is the high content of fluorine in their drinking water. For optimal dental health, the World Health Organization recommends a level of fluoride from 0.5 to 1.0 mg/L (milligrams per liter), depending on climate. Fluorosis becomes possible above this recommended dosage. Activated alumina, charcoal, sand defluoridation filter method can be used as it occupies less space, works automatically, can be used for large-scale purification and also consumes less energy

This paper looks at promoting reading habit among secondary school students in Lagos state: the role of Library & ICT. Extensive reading habit is an imperative tool for improving academic performance of students. The important of library and ICT among secondary students reading habit in Lagos cannot be over emphasized. This is because the library and ICT are the backbone of any successful student. Education as we all know is the bedrock of any nation and if the students cannot stand up to their colleagues in other parts of the world, then the main aim of schooling is defeated. This paper presents the roles of teachers, parents, environment and materials on students reading habit. It also highlights the use of ICT resources, factors affecting reading habit and strategies to promote reading habit.

 Abstract

Background: Gingival overgrowth is one of the common presentation of gingival disease often is the consequence of using certain medications, if left untreated could result in severe oral complications, however diagnosis of these entities becomes challenging due to its varied presentations. It is often associated with poor oral hygiene. Aim: To evaluate the knowledge of gingival enlargement among the dental students and to reinforce the importance of these enlargements in clinical practice by giving additional education regarding pathophysiology, presentation and treatment. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted using self-administered questionnaire, through Google forms among 100 dental students across dental colleges in Tamil Nadu, India during COVID-19 pandemic lockdown period. Results and Discussion: On evaluating the knowledge about gingival enlargement only 42% responded for it to be an increase in size of gingiva and 35% were not sure whether gingival enlargement will be reduced after scaling procedure. On assessing the treatment option available for gingival enlargement only 39% participants believe gingival enlargement is treatable among which fewer than one fourth (24%) of total participants considered it as a reversible condition. Majority of the students were unaware of clinical presentation and complications of gingival enlargement. Conclusion: The present study clearly showed a lack of awareness and knowledge among the budding dental students about gingival enlargement during their early academic life. Hence steps have to be taken to incorporate positive knowledge and reinforce the importance of these enlargements in clinical practice by giving additional education towards the outcome of improper treatment.

 Abstract

Purpose of the current study was to determine the relative contribution of the student�s motivation, fluid reasoning and working memory to the prediction of mathematics learning. The study was conducted at Durgapur KC high School in West Bengal. Out of all 5th-8th graded students, only two hundred late childhood students aged 10-13 years were taken as sample by simple random sampling. In the 2019 academic session, three tools named Muthee achievement motivation inventory (Muthee & Thomas, 2009), Raven�s Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM), and Working Memory Index - Digit Span and Letter-Number Sequencing (WISC-IV) were administered to measure students� motivation, fluid reasoning and working memory respectively. The test score for the whole year, including the final exam of the 2019 academic session, were taken as a dependent variable to measure how much students were learning math. The result showed that student�s motivation, fluid reasoning and working memory were predictor of math learning statistically significant. Cognitive abilities such as fluid & crystallized intelligence, working memory and mathematical memory (LTM), intrinsic motivation all work together when solving problems, resulting in math learning.

 Abstract

The maximum number of flows that can be sent from the source to the sink is addressed in Maximum Flow Problem. The algorithm for Edmonds-Karp is a modified version of the algorithm for Ford-Fulkerson. The solution to this has also been demonstrated by the use of the proposed method to justify the utility of the approach proposed. Since certain parts of its protocol are left unspecified, Ford-Fulkerson is often called a process. On the other hand, Edmonds-Karp offers complete specifications. Most notably, it states that during the intermediate phases of the programme, breadth-first search should be used to find the shortest paths. Like Ford-Fulkerson, Edmonds-Karp also deals with max- flow min - cut problems. The maximum flow in Edmonds-Karp algorithm is a highly polynomial time algorithm. This algorithm uses BFS to find augmenting paths.

 Abstract

Measurement systems for early and reliable detection of degenerative diseases, like Alzheimer�s disease (AD), are extremely important in clinical diagnosis. Among these, biochemical assays represent a commonly used method to differentiate patients from healthy population thanks to the sensitive recognition of specific biomarkers in biological fluids. So on beat actual limitations of these techniques in term of cost, standardization, and sensitivity, this study aimed to grasp a low-cost sensitive portable point-of-care (PoC) testing system supported on screen-printed electrochemical sensors. The designed circuit was implemented during a electrical device board and interfaced to a wireless system supported IOT data transmission so on enhance the portability of the proposed solution. Preliminary results were obtained by using controlled concentrations of electrolytic solutions and calibrating the sensors for antibodies and for a documented protein (i.e., interleukin 8) quantified by anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). Findings from ASV measurements showed a sensitivity of 38 �A/(ng/ml) with a tested range from 1.25 ng/ml, with a limit of detection of two ng/ml. Further investigation will includes the validation of this PoC device by testing the concentration of a particular p53 protein isoform, which was recently identified to early correlate to AD development.
