Human Age and Gender Determination Using Fingerprints
Abstract: We present a review of technologies to determine human age and gender using fingerprints. Broadly two methodologies are reviewed i.e. Ridge based human age and gender determination and Image based human age and gender determination. Ridge based techniques uses ridge information with its variant statistics measures for classification of a human fingerprint into different classes of age groups and male/female distinction. These methods do not involve separate classifiers for classification …

Two New, Useful and Facile Stability-Indicating UV Spectrophotometric Methods for the Determination of Rosiglitazone in Pharmaceuticals
Abstract: Rosiglitazone (ROS) is an antidiabetic drug belonging to the thiozolidine class. Two simple, rapid, sensitive, accurate and reproducible UV-spectrophotometric methods were developed and subsequently validated for the determination of ROS in bulk and tablet form. The methods are based on the measurement of the absorbance of the drug solution either in 0.1 M NaOH (NaOH method) or in 0.1 M HCl (HCl method) at 316 nm in both instances. The …

Social Determinant in Health : Epidemiological study of communicable diseases, Demography and Mortality rate.
Abstract: Introduction: Social Determinants of Health (SDH) significantly influence the spread and prevalence of communicable diseases. Factors such as poverty, income inequality, healthcare access, education, employment, location, and social connections shape disease transmission within populations. Additional factors like age, gender, migration, and urbanization further explain the relationship between SDH and public health. Mortality rates, including life expectancy, infant mortality, and access to clean water and sanitation, are deeply affected by these …

Psychological Determinants of Farmers’ Adoption of Sustainable Practices: A Behavioural Approach to Agricultural Extension
Abstract: Sustainable agriculture has emerged as a global priority to balance productivity with environmental conservation. Yet, adoption of sustainable practices by farmers remains uneven, shaped not only by economic incentives but by underlying psychological and behavioural factors. This review explores the psychological determinants influencing farmers’ willingness to adopt sustainable agricultural practices across traditional and modern contexts. Drawing upon behavioural theories such as the Theory of Planned Behaviour and the Diffusion of …

Determinants of Forage and Forage Seed Production in Silte and Gurage Zones and, Yem Special Woreda, SNNPR, Ethiopia
Abstract: Poor feed and nutrition are major constraints of livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. Crop residues are becoming the major livestock feed resources in Ethiopia. Crop residues are nutritionally characterized as containing a high proportion of cell wall and deficient in energy, protein and micronutrients. The country has developed several feed production and utilization technologies. However, production of these technologies has so far been under expected. So, identification of the major …

Application of Statistical Method to Determine Lithium Battery Capacity for Electric Vehicles
Abstract: In this paper, an empirical method, based on statistical analysis, is proposed to determine correction factor for Li-Po battery capacity calculation. The method uses statistical analysis for the estimation of the battery capacity, using a capacity correction factor previously determined. The method takes into account the effects that the discharge current has on (the) battery capacity. The method has been tested in two types of lithium batteries, Li-ion and LiPo …

A methodology for the determination of bearing capacity of granular soils with plate loading tests
Abstract: In granular soils, due to the inability to collect undisturbed samples of soil for geotechnical laboratory tests or the impracticality of carrying out dynamic penetration tests, highlights the necessity to find a useful approach in the engineering geological practice for the determination of bearing capacity. In these soils the determination of bearing capacity can be evaluated with several formula that necessary require the estimation of the friction angle: this leads …

A Study of Flow Analysis Within a Tractor Cabin with the Goal of Determining the Best Vent Location and Glazing
Abstract: This study aims to improve the thermal comfort inside a tractor cabin by determining the position of the air conditioner vent location. This is obtained by maintaining the cold air flow inside the cabin by means of the air conditioning vents and proper HVAC systems. The concept of glazing on windows with different materials was also used to improve the thermal comfort of the tractor cabin by reducing the thermal …
