Knowledge among School Teachers on Well-balanced Diet in High School Children at Selected Schools in Bangalore, Karnataka
Abstract: Nutrition is a complex problem influenced by many factors, among other inadequacies of dietary intake and infection. To overcome the problem, in early 1950’s, a slogan named for 4-healthy-5-perfect was introduced to guide people to consumed foods to achieve a better nutritional and health status. As the slogan was considered not providing enough information on the quantity and the balance in relation to health and biological condition, a new guideline …

Speed Estimation of High-Speed Hysteresis Motor Based on Extended Kalman Filter
Abstract: High-speed hysteresis motors are used in special industries such as medical centrifuges and gyroscopes. In spite of that, they are synchronous motors in some situations they may work in asynchronous speed. So, for reliable performance of hysteresis motor, closed loop control strategies are employed. On this way, speed/position of rotor must be known. Due to difficulty of using the speed sensors in high-speed hysteresis motor drives, employing the speed estimation …

Explaining the Cost Performance and Maturity of Transportation Infrastructure in the Developed and Developing World: One Size Fits All?
Abstract: AbstractScholarly text analysing the financial performance of highway projects are evident in the literature, most of which have opined that highway agencies record higher levels of cost overruns compared to other clients of construction and building works. Similar assertions are made about the relatively higher levels of cost overruns recorded on highway projects executed in the developing world. A scant number of seminal works have emerged in the literature, offering …

Influence of Dielectric and Active layer Thickness on MgZnO Thin Film Transistor Electrical Characteristics
Abstract: From last decades, Thin Film Transistors Technology uses low-k dielectric material as an insulator. Insulator thickness plays an important role in device dimension. The insulating layer also known as the gate oxide separates the gate electrode from the channel region of the transistor. If the insulating layer is too thin, there is a greater chance that electrons can tunnel through the oxide layer, leading to leakage current. To mitigate this …
