Estimation of peak flood discharge (PFD) for a
given return period is of utmost importance for planning and design of
hydraulic structures in the project site. The peak value of a flood discharge
having a pre-defined average return period is determined by frequency analysis,
known as flood frequency analysis (FFA). The paper compares the eight probability
distributions used for estimation of PFD for Malakkara and Neeleswaram. Maximum
likelihood method is used for determination of parameters of t...

Statistical
report of the Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health for the years 2006/7 shows
that the number of health professionals in the country is insignificant
compared to the demand of the population. The objective of this study is
assessing the factors which reduce the commitment of the professional health
workers and force them to flee away to other places. For that, a cross-sectional
design with multi-stage stratified sampling technique on a total of 660 health
workers was employed. Follow...

Hepatic lipidosis (HL) is common in birds fed all seed, high caloric or
high-fat diets, especially psittacine birds. The most common cause of avian HL
is obesity related to over feeding. This case report describes the clinical and
pathological features of 10 Common Myna ( Acridotheres tristis) fed by
commercial broiler diet and were presented for depression and anorexia, with
severe hepatopathy associated hepatic lipidosis (HL). The patients died 4 days
after presentation, and severe hepat...

In the present study, Acutodesmus obliquus strain PSV2 was
isolated from a textile and dyeing industrial site and investigated as a cost
effective and potential adsorbent for Acid red 66 dye. Batch kinetic
experiments were carried out as a function of pH (1.0 - 6.0), contact time (0 -
180 min) and initial dye concentration (10 - 50 mg/L) to determine the
decolorization efficiency of microalgae. The maximum adsorption of dye was
observed at pH 2.0 ...

Silt soil cannot satisfy the requirements of
highway construction because of its low strength. A new stabilizer from waste
aluminum industry is developed (aluminum chops (AC) and wires (AW)) to evaluate
the effect of reinforcing the subgrade with low-cost by-product materials on
its mechanical and durability characteristics. Laboratory tests, including
modified proctor compaction, compressive strength, splitting tensile
strength, and CBR are developed to evaluate the mechanical properties. The
d...

Fossil fuels have become the most
important part of our lives and they play a very important role in our daily
life. Because of increasing population and very high demands of fossil fuels,
there will be shortage of these energy resources and there is a fear of
depletion of these natural resources. The life is very much dependent of
petrol, diesel and other fossil fuels which are being used in our daily
activities and the shortage of fossil fuels is makin ...

a mountain called Qaf and find the great king of birds called Simurgh or Thirty
Birds. The new enlightenment resonated with the Conference of the Birds,
captures the idea of why and how leader and followers should connect their
consciousness to each other to achiev ...

Objective: This study determined risk factors associated
with MDR-TB among MDR TB/HIV co- infected
cases and TB/HIV co-infected controls attending ART clinics in Addis Ababa.
Methods: A health facility based 1:3 matched case-control study was conducted
from January to February 2013. Study subjects were selected using multistage
probability sampling. Cases were matched to controls using age, sex and HIV
sero-positive status. Bivariate and multivariate conditional logistic
regression models ...
