with the advent of digitalization, information and communications technology facilities have become an indispensable part of education especially at the universities. this study has been undertaken with dual purposes - to find the existing scenario of information and communications technology facilities and to gauge the perception of the students onthe quality of those facilities - at the unive...

With the leakage-thermal dependency, the increasing on-chip temperature in 3D designs has serious impact on IR drop due to the increased wire resistance and increased leakage current. Therefore, it is necessary to consider Power/Ground network design with thermal effects in 3D designs. Though Power/ Ground (P/G) TSV can help to relieve the IR drop violation by vertically connecting on-chip P/G ...

Based on the traditional trip attraction model, a new method of operation condition evaluation and supply scale forecasting for public parking facilities is proposed. It begins with the operation condition investigation of existing parking facilities, and then analyzes qualitatively the existing parking facilities supply scale by four indexes. Finally, it can calculate the supply scale in predi...

The Egyptian government's national Gold Star programme to improve the quality and usage of family planning was conducted from 1995 to 2000. Data from the 2004 Egypt Service Provision Assessment survey were used to assess whether the certified Gold Star facilities had sustained higher quality services than non-Gold Star facilities 4 years after conclusion of the programme. A nationally represent...

This paper proposes a tractable model for the design of a rapid transit system. Travel cost is minimized and traffic capture is maximized. The problem is modeled on an undirected graph and cast as an integer linear program. The idea is to build segments within broad corridors to connect some vertex sets. These segments can then be assembled into lines, at a later stage. The model is solved by b...

OBJECTIVE To determine the availability and quality of family planning services within health facilities throughout the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). METHODS Data were collected for the cross-sectional study from April 2014 to June 2014 by the Ministry of Public Health. A total of 1,568 health facilities that reported data to the National Health Information System were selected by m...
