ABSTRACT Malnutrition remains a factor, directly or indirectly, in 60% of 11 million deaths of children aged less than five years globally each year. Hence, proper nutrition during infancy and early childhood is fundamental to the development of a child’s potential for normal growth, development, and survival of infants and children, particularly in developing. This study intent was to examine feeding patterns, practices and factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding and complementary...
The novel approach of unraveling the potential of bypassed hydrocarbon reservoir a thinly laminated geology by comparing the petrophysical parameters and computed Stock Oil Initial-in-Place (STOIIP) obtained from conventional log response to that obtainable in high resolution image data sets was carefully initiated. Archie's equation was adopted in the estimation of water saturation. The net-to-gross was estimated directly from the logs. TECHLOG 2.7 Version was used to estimate the pefrophys...
Density functional theory has been used to study mechanisms of the reactions involving [1,7]-sigmatropic hydrogen shift in Z,Z-1,3,5-heptatriene systems, esterification of acetyl chloride with methanol and acid-catalyzed esterification of carboxylic acids with methanol. The calculations employed the B3LYP functional, with 6-31+G(d) basis sets. Mechanism routes were computed, with complete optimization of all intermediates and transition states. The effect of electron-donating and electron...
Abstract: The study was conducted on Gondola Mountain forest in Melka Bello Woreda, East Harerghe Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia, to determine the floristic composition, vegetation structure, species diversity, species richness, dominance and regeneration status of woody species. Vegetation data were gathered from 50 quadrats of 20 m x 20 m (400 m2) laid systematically along 5 transects. In each quadrat, live woody species were recorded with their number counted and DBH measured for t...

ABSTRACT Screening of pooled urine specimen was suggested during the Second World War as a method for reducing the cost of detecting syphilis in U.S. soldiers. Recently, pooling has been used in epidemiological studies for screening of human immunodeficiency virus HIV/AIDS antibody to help curb the spread of the virus. Pooling reduces the cost but also – and more importantly – offers a feasible way to lower the misclassifications associated with labeling specimens when imperfect tests are...

ABSTRACT To determine the soil's primary potentials and constraints, soil characterization and pedological classification are crucial. However, much of Ethiopia’s documented soil information is scanty and inadequate relative to the large size of the country and the wide diversity of soils and landscapes. The aim of this work was to characterize and classify the morphological, physical, and chemical attributes of soils in Aregedif watershed, Northwestern Ethiopia. Samples were collected fro...
