The Effect of the Baby

The poor complementary breastfeeding is a risk factor directly related to the stunting. This study was aimed to know the effect of providing information to the bab

Resistance distance, information centrality, node vulnerability and vibrations in complex networks

We discuss three seemingly unrelated quantities that have been introduced in different fields of science for complex networks. The three quantities are the resistance distance, the information centrality and the node displacement. We first prove various relations among them. Then we focus on the node displacement, showing its usefulness as an index of node vulnerability.We argue that the node displacement has a better resolution as a measure of node vulnerability than the degree and the information centrality

Comparison and Implementation of a Rigid and a Flexible Multibody Planetary Gearbox Model

We propose algorithms for developing (1) a rigid (constrained) and (2) a flexible planetary gearbox model. The two methods are compared against each other and advantages/disadvantages of each method are discussed. The rigid model (1) has gear tooth reaction forces expressed by Lagrange multipliers. The flexible approach (2) is being compared with the gear tooth forces from the rigid approach, first without damping and second the influence of damping is examined. Variable stiffness as a function of base circle arc length is implemented in the flexible approach such that it handles the realistic switch between one and two gear teeth in mesh. The final results are from modelling the planetary gearbox in a 500 kW wind turbine which we also described in Jørgensen et.al (2013)

INDUCTION OF LABOUR USING LOW AND HIGH DOSE REGIMENS OF PROSTAGLANDIN E2 VAGINAL TABLETS

ABSTRACTObjective: To compare the efficacy of low dose prostaglandin E2 vaginal tablets withthat of high dose in induction of labour.Design: A retrospective study.Setting: Abha Maternity Hospital, a teaching hospital in the southern region of SaudiaArabia.Patients: The outcome of induction of labour in 73 women induced with 1.5 mgprostaglandin E2 vaginal tablets was compared with those in 168 women induced with3 mg vaginal tablets.Results: There were no statistical significant differences in the success rate, inductiondeliveryinterval, caesarean section rate and Apgar scores between the two groups. Therewere two incidences of uterine hyperstimulation and two of uterine rupture in the highdose group. These were not statistically significant. Logistic regression analysis showedthat the success rate of induction of labour was dependent only on maternal age(P=0.0025) and Bishop score (P=0.0403) and not on parity, gestational age, birthweightor dose of prostaglandin.Conclusion: The low dose regimen of 1.5 mg is as efficacious as the high dose regimenof 3mg. prostaglandin E2 vaginal tablets in inducing labour. This implies that usingthe low dose regimen reduces the cost of induction of labour effectively. Largerprospective randomized studies are needed to confirm this finding

Analysis of the anomalous electromagnetic moments of the tau lepton in γ p collisions at the LHC

In this study, we investigate the potential of the process pp?p??p?p??¯?q?X at the LHC to examine the anomalous electromagnetic moments of the tau lepton. We obtain 95% confidence level bounds on the anomalous coupling parameters with various values of the integrated luminosity and center-of-mass energy. The improved bounds have been obtained on the anomalous coupling parameters of electric and magnetic moments of the tau lepton a? and |d?| compared to the current experimental sensitivity bounds. The ?p mode of photon reactions at the LHC have shown that it has great potential for the electromagnetic dipole moments studies of the tau lepton. © 2018 The Authors115F136This work has been supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) in the framework of Project No. 115F136
