The term “Adolescence” represents a hyper anabolic phase of growth, mediated by normal factors and characterized by peck velocities of growth (Gopalan, 1989). Adolescents are more vulnerable to malnutrition. The aim of this study is to assess the nutritional status of adolescent girls of an urban slum area of Jaipur. This is a cross sectional study design using multistage random sampling method...

The present work aims to investigate the mental health (depression and hopelessness) among suicide attempters and the control group (both male and female). Purposive random sampling technique was employed for collection of data. The sample comprised of n=100 suicide attempters (experimental group) and n=50 non-suicide attempter (control group) in the age group of 20 to 30 years. Experimental gr...

This retrospective review contains 127 paediatric burns up to 14 years of age admitted to the Burn Unit of the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery, SMS. Medical College, Jaipur over a period of 1 year from January 1990. Epidemiological data include age, sex, seasonal variation, place of burn, family size, economic status, period of time between the accident and admission to hospital. The ca...

This study proposed a the new cost effective design of diesel exhaust waste heat recovery system (WHRS) for Bus rapid transport System (BRTS, Jaipur) and Stationary System and proposes a cost effective robust design that meets the principle design constraints for WHRS. In order to address various design constraints for WHRS while achieving the required performance of the system, numerical analy...

Water and nutrient availability for crop production are critical issues in (semi)arid regions. Unsaturated-zone Cl tracer data and nutrient (NO3 and PO4) concentrations were used to quantify recharge rates using the Cl mass balance approach and nutrient availability in the Thar Desert, Rajasthan, India. Soil cores were collected in dune/interdune settings in the arid Thar Desert (near Jaisalmer...

A rtificial bee Colony algorithm (ABC) is a population based heuristic search technique used for optimization problems. ABC is a very effective optimization technique for continuous optimization problem. Crossover operators have a better exploration property so crossover operators are added to the ABC. This paper presents ABC with different types of real coded crossover operator and its applica...

The Jaipur prosthetic foot was developed in India in response to specific socio-cultural needs of Indian amputees. It is being used extensively in India and several other developing countries. Its claim of being a cheaper and satisfactory alternative to other prosthetic feet has not been investigated biomechanically. The present study was undertaken to compare its biomechanical properties with ...
