The differences of stunting through socio-economic and productive indicators in high Andean community of Peru were evaluated ((11°42′58.16′′ S, 75°37′31.13′′ W, altitude 3470 m). Cross-sectional study in 52 mothers with children under 5 years old was carried. A validated nutritional survey was applied. Z-scores height for age and nutritional status were determined using anthropometric methods…

Vegetable oils are often proved to be promising for industrial lubrication applications among which soybean oil found to be better due to its attractive and desirable thermo physical properties for machining compared to other vegetable oils. However, already it was established that influenced desirable thermophysical properties necessary for a vegetable oil through which better machining…

Most buildings are equipped with various types of sensors to detect smoke in the event of a fire, though most are located internally. Practically, smoke has to reach the sensor in order for the sensor to react. The limitations of these sensors are their inability to respond in the early stages of a fire, and…
