Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Women Towards Exclusive Breastfeeding in Jimma Health Center, Jimma Town, Southwest Ethiopia
Abstract: Background: Breastfeeding is a natural gift that is very important for the fulfillment of natural necessity of newborn. However, now a days, the practice of breastfeeding especially exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) up to six months is decreasing all over the world including the developing countries like Ethiopia despite its numerous advantages. Maternal parity, age, educational level and total family income are some of the reasons incremented for the decline in breastfeeding. …

Pulmonary Function Status in Underweight Adults: A Literature Review
Abstract: Pulmonary functions are generally determined by respiratory muscle strength, compliance of the lung, thoracic cavity, airway resistance and elastic recoil of the lungs. Vital capacity depends on age, sex, height, mass, activity status and ethnicity. Underweight status represents depleted body fat and lean tissue stores. Recent researches, meta analysis and clinical oriented literatures were taken in the study to establish evidence-based efficacy of pulmonary function status in underweight young adults. …

Artificial Neural Network Modelling to Optimize Micro-Drilling Parameters of ECDM of Developed Novel Zn/(Ag+Fe)-MMC
Abstract: Several engineering fields have increased their use of metal matrix composites (MMCs) in the past few years. Due to the increase in composites, the demand for accurate machining has also become important. Specifically, pertaining to biomaterial applications, accuracy factor with desired surface finish is critical. While the near-net shape manufacturing process has advanced, MMCs frequently require post-mould machining to achieve surface quality, and dimensional tolerances. In the present study, a …

Role of Cement and Fly Ash in Soil Stabilization
Abstract: Soil stabilization changes the engineering properties of soil and produces strength and stability. Use of industrial wastes and manufactured materials in soil stabilization can be cost effective and environmental friendly. As there is a growth of habitations surrounding the PSIT campus, therefore, soil samples collected from this area were analyzed for its plasticity index properties. It was found that soils of this area come under low plastic category. Hence, the …
