Forecasting electricity consumption is a very important issue for governments and electricity related foundations of public sector.Recently, Grey Modelling (GM (1,1)) has been used to forecast electricity demand successfully.GM (1,1) is useful when the observed data is limited, and it does not require any preliminary information about the data dist
A tower of hidden sectors: a general treatment and physics implications
Abstract An analysis of a tower of hidden sectors coupled to each other, with one of these hidden sectors coupled to the visible sector, is given and the implications of such couplings on physics in the visible sector are investigated.Thus the analysis considers n number of hidden sectors where the visible sector couples Canvas only to hidden secto
Comparison of efficacy and safety of intramuscular magnesium sulphate with low dose intravenous regimen in treatment of eclampsia
INTRODUCTION: Eclampsia contributes to maternal mortality in developing, underdeveloped world.Various drugs have been tried to treat eclampsia.Magnesium sulphate has become the drug of choice due to various advantages and is associated with adverse outcome for both mother and fetus if not used correctly.OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and safety
Demonstration of active neutron interrogation of special nuclear materials using a high-intensity short-pulse-laser-driven neutron source
Abstract Detecting shielded special nuclear material, such as nuclear explosives, is a difficult challenge pursued by non-proliferation, anti-terrorism, and nuclear security programs worldwide.Interrogation with intense fast-neutron pulses is a promising method to characterize concealed nuclear material rapidly but is limited by suitable source ava
A qualitative study on barriers and enablers to uptake of diabetic retinopathy screening by people with diabetes in the Western Province of Sri Lanka
Abstract Background Blindness and visual impairment from diabetic retinopathy (DR) are avoidable through early detection and timely treatment.The Western Province of Sri Lanka has the highest prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) (18.6%) in the country.A situational analysis identified a significant gap in DR screening services (DRSS) uptake in this
