Background: Malaria is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with more than a quarter of the deaths occurring in children under five years in sub-Saharan Africa. Utilization of Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) has reduced malaria infections across countries in sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere. However, limited studies have been carried out on the effective utilization of ITNs and how effective utilization of ITNs influences the hospitalization of children under-five years.

Introduction: The constant controversy between the paediatrician and ENT surgeon regarding management of chronic tonsillitis has been going on for centuries , now the indication for adenotonsillectomy has become more precise and specific , with chronic tonsillitis being one of the most important indication Materials and Methods: The prospective study is carried out on a scientific principle to find out the correct modality of treatment in chronic tonsillitis by comparing the surface and tissue culture for pathogenic bacteria in the tonsils RESULTS: out of 100 patients taken up for study mos

Due to rapid urbanization and vehicular growth most of the cities are congested with traffic flow. To mitigate the traffic congestion effective mass transportation system is necessary in the cities. Urban mass transit system can work efficiently if proper routing and scheduling are implemented. The routing plays a very significant role in public transport system. When the development takes place on the periphery of an urban area then additional trips are generated between this area and CBD.

In this paper we introduce the concept of subdivision number and total subdivision number of a graph G, obtain bounds for these parameters and determine their exact values for several classes of graphs.

The objective of this study was to analyze labor productivity indexes obtained in a Horizontal Housing Complex, in Vitória da Conquista - Bahia, to establish a comparison between the real labor productivity indexes and the productivity indexes of the Price Composition Table for Budgets - TCPO. It was used a quantitative approach, whose services analyzed were: structural masonry; internal coating; internal paving; outer coating; and external paving. Data collection was done through documentary analysis and bibliographic research.

Social networks come in many different facets. Some are strong in a particular geographic location like Orkut in Brazil, VKontakte in Rus¬sia, or Mixi in Japan.

This research presents new data and insights into the relationship between TQM implementation and customer satisfaction. The main purpose of this research is to determine the impact of TQM implementation on customer satisfaction in the context of Indian manufacturing industries.

This study aimed to design a revolving crane, to be deployed in the cutting industry and folds into a manufacturer of road equipment. The implementation of the project aims to increase productivity, significantly reducing the existing idle capacity in this sector, due to waiting for the use of the crane, when there is the need for handling heavy parts. For the development of crane design, all significant requests, scaling all the structural part and the elements necessary for the construction machines were used.

This paper presents an experimental study on the strength properties of plain geopolymer concrete, fibre reinforced geopolymer concrete and hybrid fibre reinforced geopolymer concrete made with low calcium flyash. The strength parameters considered in this study are compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength. The polypropylene fibre incorporation in 8M alkali activated geopolymer was performed by 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% of total volume of concrete.

In this electronic publishing age, academic institutions including universities have increasingly recognized that an institutional digital repository is an essential infrastructure of scholarly dissemination. An IR is a digital research archive consisting of accessible collections of scholarly work that represent the intellectual capital of an institution. Digital repositories are widely used as a mechanism for making scholarly works freely accessible on the web.
