Study of Dimensions of Soil Pollution by Pesticides in Crop fields of Saran, Chapra, Bihar[ ]


The worldwide impel for sustainable agriculture systems involve optimizing agriculture resources to gratify human needs and simultaneously maintaining the quality of the environment and uphold natural resources. India being a developing country is facing constraints in agriculture such as land area and immense use of expensive chemical fertilizers & pesticides, such constraints diminish crop yield that is unbearable for the low-income farmers. Due to all these factors the production of crop is inadequate to stay pace with increasing population (Hafeez et al., 2002).

MIMO-OTFS in High-Doppler Fading Channels: Signal Detection and Channel Estimation[ ]


Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation is a recently introduced multiplexing technique designed in the 2-dimensional (2D) delay-Doppler domain suited for high- Doppler fading channels. OTFS converts a doubly-dispersive channel into an almost non-fading channel in the delay-Doppler domain through a series of 2D transformations. In this paper, we focus on MIMO-OTFS which brings in the high spectral and energy efficiency benefits of MIMO and the robustness of OTFS in high-Doppler fading channels.

Application of Mathematical Principles in Analysis of Impact Energy as a Basis of Crush Severity in Vehicle Accidents[ ]


Vehice speed and mass play crucial role on energy transferred during vehicle accidents. This energy is exhibited as kinetic energy (K.E) and is significant in determining the crush severity (vehicle damage) during accident reconstruction analysis. However, conventional road vehicle safety systems play little role in regulation of ths energy. Thereby leaving a gap when road safety and impact energy are mentioned with regards to changes in vehicle structures and road safety. Understanding the role of K.E in relation to vehicle damage will help come up with effective measures towards the generation, transfer and controlling effects of impact energy during vehicle road accidents.

Malaria Parasite Classification based on Severity level: A Comparative Evaluation of Sigmoid and Radial Basis Function[ ]


Malaria, one of the commonest life-threatening diseases in Africa, is caused by a single-celled parasite from the genus plasmodium. Once an individual gets infected by this parasite, the liver is first infected then the red blood cells. Malaria parasite if not properly diagnosed and treated in early stages might lead to severe conditions and even death. Detecting the levels of the malaria parasite from a thin blood smear becomes challenging when a lot of symptoms are present, and the inadequate approach is used.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Hepatitis B among Pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in Abuja Nigeria[ ]


Nigeria is one of the countries considered as a highly endemic country for hepatitis B, mainly due to perinatal transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV). The prevalence of HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) carriage in pregnant women is a relevant marker for the risk of mother-to-child HBV transmission. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Hepatitis B virus infection among pregnant women visiting antenatal clinics in Abuja Nigeria. A total of 350 pregnant women were screened for hepatitis B virus surface and core antibodies. Out of the screened women, 34(9.7%) were positive for HBsAg while 10(2.9%) were positive for HBsAb.
