Novel Technique Combining Tissue and Mesh Repair for Umbilical Hernia in Adults
(Scientific Research, 2014-09)Introduction: Umbilical hernia in adults poses a challenge to the surgeon. Understanding the anatomical and pathological intricacies of the hernia is pivotal in evolving a good repair. A multitude of repairs have been ... -
A Novel Technique for Determination of Flow Characteristics of Blast Furnace Slag
(Scientific Research, 2012-06)A study of flow characteristics of blast furnace slag helps determine its softening and flow (liquid-mobility) temperatures. The slag with a narrow difference between the two temperatures is termed a “Short Slag”. Its ... -
A Novel Ultra-Wideband Monopole Antenna with Band-Stop Characteristic
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-10)In this letter, a simple monopole antenna with variable band-notched characteristic for ultra wide band (UWB) function is proposed. Two L-shaped quarter-waveguide resonators coupled to the ground plane with two shorting ... -
Numerical Investigation of Flow Structure Interaction Coupling Effects in Hard Disk Drives
(2012-02)This paper studies the flow structural interaction (FSI) within a hard disk drive (HDD) through the use of a novel coupling method. The interaction studied was the fluid induced vibration in the HDD. A two step coupling ... -
Nurse Staffing and Workload Drivers in Small Rural Hospitals: An Imperative for Evidence
(2016)Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore staffing issues and the workload drivers influencing nursing activities in designated small rural hospitals of Western Australia. A problem for small rural hospitals is an ... -
Nutritional assessment of compost by SMC method for white button mushroom cultivation in Maharashtra
(African Journal of Biological Sciences, 2020-04-06)Like human beings and animals, White Button Mushroom (WBM) also require food, for growth and development of its fruit body. This fruit body is composed of certain chemical elements frequently referred to as plant nutrients ... -
Nutritional status of Rohingya under-5 children in Jamtoly Rohingya camp
(African Science Publications, 2020-07-09)Introduction: About one million Rohingya people had fled to Cox’s Bazar Bangladesh after experiencing massive atrocities in their homeland Rakhine state of Myanmar. Rohingya people deprived of adequate food supply, education, ... -
N–nitrosodiethylamine cytochrome P450 induction and cytotoxicity evaluation in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-07)The primary routes of potential human exposure to N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) are ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. Air, diet and smoking contribute to potential human exposure at levels of a few µg of NDEA/day. ... -
Oil a Blessing or Curse: A Comparative Assessment of Nigeria, Norway and the United Arab Emirates
(2018-04)Oil booms have brought unprecedented wealth and development to some countries while in others this has not been the case. The latter is attributed to the resource curse phenomenon which has been explained by the Dutch ... -
On the Design of Circular Fractal Antenna with U-Shape Slot in CPW-Feed
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-10)new ultawideband circular fractal antenna with notched-band characteristics is presented. A notched-band characteristic is achieved by employing a U-shape slot in 50 Ω feed lines. The ultra-wideband impedance matching and ... -
On the Economic Premium Principle
(Scientific Research, 2018-02)In this study, we propose an equilibrium pricing rule to capture a characteristic observed in the practical option market. The market has observed that the implied volatility derived from the Black-Scholes formula is ... -
