Abstract In recent years, numerous researchers examined and analyzed several different types of uncertainty in shortest path (SP) problems. However, those SP problems which the costs arcs are expressed terms mixed interval-valued fuzzy numbers less addressed. Here, for solving such uncertain problems, first a new procedure is extended to approximate summation using alpha cuts. Then, an distance...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of maternal vitamin A supplementation from preconception through postpartum on cognitive and motor development of children at 10-13 years of age in rural Nepal. DESIGN Follow-up assessment of children born to women randomly assigned by a village to receive either supplemental vitamin A (7000 µg retinol equivalents) or placebo weekly during a continuous 3.5-y...

The Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2) is a functional test for identifying deficits in the motor performance of children. The test contains a ball-catching task that requires the children to catch a self-thrown ball with one hand. As the task can be executed with a variety of different catching strategies, it is assumed that the task success can also vary considerably. Even thou...

Shoot fly (Atherigona soccata L. Moench) is a serious pest in sorghum production. Management of shoot fly using insecticides is expensive and environmentally un-safe. Developing host-plant resistance is the best method to manage shoot fly infestation. Number of component traits contribute for imparting shoot fly resistance in sorghum and molecular markers have been reported which were closely l...

CONTEXT Infants who are very preterm (born < or = 32 weeks of gestation) and very low birth weight (VLBW) (weighing < or = 1500 g) are at risk for poor developmental outcomes. There is increasing evidence that very preterm birth and VLBW have a considerable effect on motor development, although findings are inconsistent. OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between very preterm birth and...

Past examinations uncover that the prescient control of developments is weakened in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), most likely connected shortfall within inner modelling movements. The aim present study was to investigate effect a motor skills training program Disorder. done at four kindergartens Khorezm region Uzbekistan for duration 10 weeks. All 27 DCD who taken par...

The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a biomimetic optimization based on the intelligent foraging behavior of colony. It has obvious advantages in dealing with complex nonlinear problems. However, random neighborhood search leads to ABC being good at exploration but neglected exploitation. Therefore, modified (MABC) proposed this paper. applied thinned large multiple concentric circular ...

OBJECTIVE to compare the motor coordination, cognitive, and functional development of preterm and term children at the age of 4 years. METHODS this was a cross-sectional study of 124 four-year-old children, distributed in two different groups, according to gestational age and birth weight, paired by gender, age, and socioeconomic level. All children were evaluated by the Movement Assessment B...
