OBJECTIVE To assess the magnitude, geographical distribution and trends of the prevalence of nutritional anemia among preschoolers and to identify risk groups in the state of Paraiba, Brazil. METHODS A cross-sectional survey with multistage random sampling procedure was conducted in 8 urban municipalities of three mid-regions (Zona da Mata, Agreste and Sertão) in the state of Paraíba in 1992....

In this study, the radial distribution and gravimetric storage capacities of hydrogen on coronene (C24H12) and its Si substituted forms, C24H12, C24-nSinH12 (n= 4-24), have been investigated at 298 K and 0.1 MPa (standard situation) using (N,V,T) Monte Carlo simulation by Lennard-Jones (LJ) 12-6 potential. The results show that the increase of number of silicon substitution doesn’t have any eff...

A theoretical relation is presented between the seismological Fourier amplitude spectrumand the mean squared value of the elastic response, which is defined by Gaussian distribution. Byshifting a general process to its mean value, spectrum of the mean squared value of the displacementis computed from the Fourier amplitude spectrum and the real part of the relative displacementtransfer function ...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my primary advisor Dr. Andrew V. Newman for providing his excellent guidance and scientific insight throughout the study. I am thankful to Dr. for their thoughtful advice and suggestions. I am grateful to Dr. Tapas Bhattacharyya for the stimulating discussions and his support. I would also like to thank numerous prior and recent earthquake analysts, includ...

Short Title: Angular momentum in human walking Summary In this study we examine the relative size of whole-body spin angular momentum in human walking, and the dimensionality and distribution of intersegment angular momentum. Using a 16-segment human model and kinetic and kinematic gait data, we examine whole-body rotational dynamics for ten study participants walking at self-selected speeds. A...

We present an analysis of survey observations targeting the leading L4 Jupiter Trojan cloud near opposition using the wide-field Suprime-Cam CCD camera on the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope. The survey covered about 38 deg of sky and imaged 147 fields spread across a wide region of the L4 cloud. Each field was imaged in both the g′ and the i′ band, allowing for the measurement of g − i color. We detect...
