A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, SEDENTARY BEHAVIOR, AND SLEEP AMONG UNDER-FIVE CHILDREN IN SLUM AREAS OF BURDWAN MUNICIPALITY, WEST BENGAL

Introduction: Less time in physical activity, increase in sedentary time, and screen time have various negative health consequences and are a matter of concern for childhood health PENCIL SHARPENER now-a-days.The study was to find out the prevalence of adequate physical activity and sleep, the status of sedentary behaviour and screen time among und

We report the isolation, characterization, and development of a robust genetic system for a halophilic, Fe(II)-oxidizing bacterium isolated from a vertical borehole originating 714 m below the surface located in the Soudan Iron Mine in northern Minnesota, USA.Sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene places the isolate in the genus Marinobacter of the

Irrigation pumping is a major expense of agricultural operations, especially in arid/semi-arid areas that extract large amounts of water from deep groundwater resources.Studying and improving pumping efficiencies can have direct impacts on farm net profits and on the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted LUNG from pumping plants.In this study, t

In this study, experiments were performed to measure the inception and breakdown voltages of SF6/CO2 mixed Respirators gases with varying mixing ratios at two different pressures (1 and 2 bar).Using the preliminary data obtained from the experiments, a 3D particle model was used to investigate positive streamer initiation in SF6/CO2 with field ioni

The forecasting literature on intraday electricity markets is scarce and restricted to the analysis of volume-weighted average prices.These only admit a highly aggregated representation of the market.Instead, we propose to forecast the entire volume-weighted price distribution.We approximate this distribution in a non-parametric way using a dense g
