A number of energy-aware routing protocols were proposed to seek the energy efficiency of routes in multihop wireless networks. Among them, several geographical localized routing protocols were proposed to help making smarter routing decision using only local information and reduce the routing overhead. Previous localized routing protocols are not energy efficient, i.e., the total energy consumed by their route could be very large compared with the optimal. However, all proposed localized routing methods cannot guarantee the energy efficiency of their routes. In this paper, we first give a simple localized routing algorithm, called Localized Energy-Aware Restricted Neighborhood routing (L.E.A.R.N), which can guarantee the energy efficiency of its route if it can find the route successfully. We then theoretically study its critical transmission radius in random networks which can guarantee that LEARN routing finds a route for any source and destination pairs asymptotically almost surely. We also extend the proposed routing into three-dimensional (3.D) networks and derive its critical transmission radius in 3.D random networks. Simulations results confirm our theoretical analysis of L.E.A.R.N routing and demonstrate its energy efficiency in large scale random networks.Keywords

Background: India has about 440 million children. About 27 million children are born every year in India but 2 million of them do not attend the age of 5. The world bank estimates that India is one of the highest ranking countries in the world for the number of children suffering from malnutrition.
Objective: The objective of the study was to identify the factors associated with malnutrition among under-five children.
Design: Descriptive cross sectional study. 100 under-five children were selected for the study by complete enumeration. The data was collected by structured interview schedule.
Results: 38% of underfive children were normal, 24% had grade I/Mild Malnutrition,25% had grade II/ Moderate Malnutrition and 13% had grade III/Severe Malnutrition. Overall 62% under-five children were malnourished. 28% had mild wasting, 24% had moderate wasting and 41% had severe wasting, 26% had mild stunting, 11% had moderate stunting, 9%were had severe stunting. A Significant association was found between nutritional status of the child and factors : weight of mother ,Birth weight of child, Socio economic status of the family, immunization status of child, timing of weaning, abnormality's at birth and type of diet. A significant association was found between the nutritional status of children and socio-demographic variable: gender of the child, education of mother, family monthly income, and number of children in the family.
Conclusions: This study indicated weight of mother, time of weaning, Birth weight of child, socio economic status, immunization status of the child were associated with malnutrition among under-five children.

In this paper we have designed flipped class room strategy for Heat Transfer course. As a first step towards flipping the class room three lessons are selected in the course. By delivering lecture content of selected topics before coming to class through videos and other media, class time is actively engaged in higher order thinking. The first step attempted is creating required Educational materials to transfer the delivery of content regarding the topics to an out of class environment. The second step is designing of active learning strategies Problem Solving, JIGSAW methods for the in class activity. Currently, limited research exists on the impact of the flipped classroom model in Engineering. A course such as Heat Transfer that involves design aspects and problem solving, requires time to teach concepts in an efficient and effective manner and can be best taught through flipped class approach. This paper would be definitely useful for all Mechanical&Chemical Engineering faculty members.Keywords

Menopause is a unique stage of female reproductive life cycle, a transition from reproductive to non-reproductive stage. Menopause may be smooth experience for some women with only symptom of cessation of menstrual flow while others face one or more of the menopausal symptoms. The presence and severity of symptoms vary tremendously from woman to woman and can last from months to years during this transitional period. This study was conducted to assess the sociopersonal and health related data and menopause related problems among women. The findings show that the women are affected by menopause related problems of varying degree. Appropriate health care measure with special emphasis to life style interventions need to be initiated to enable women to live healthy and productive life at midlife.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a serious health care- associated infection, resulting in high morbidity and mortality. Nurse’s awareness, education and understanding the preventive measures for ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) are necessary component in NICU / PICU settings. The aim of the present study was to assess the knowledge on paediatric ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) among nursing students, at selected college, Tirupati. Objectives: To assess the nursing students knowledge on Paediatric Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP), to find out the association between level of knowledge with selected socio demographic variables, to provide information booklet on Paediatric Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Methodology: The research approach used for the study was descriptive research design. One Stage Cluster sampling technique was adopted; College of Nursing, SVIMS, Tirupati was considered as one cluster, by random sampling technique all 3rd Year B.Sc Nursing Students of College of Nursing, SVIMS, Tirupati were selected. Data was collected with questionnaire on Paediatric Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Results: The major findings of the study was, Out of 96 B.Sc nursing students 30.2% (29) had inadequate knowledge, 26% (25) had moderate knowledge and 43.8% (42) had adequate knowledge regarding Paediatric Ventilator Associated Pneumonia. Level of knowledge regarding practices to prevent Paediatric Ventilator Associated Pneumonia majority 36.5% (35) students had inadequate knowledge, 28.1% (27) students had moderate knowledge, 35.4% (34) students adequate knowledge. There no significant association between level of knowledge and knowledge on practices to prevent on paediatric ventilator associated pneumonia with selected socio demographic variables. Conclusion: The study shows that B.Sc Nursing students have moderate knowledge on Paediatric Ventilator Associated Pneumonia. Based on the findings information booklet was given to all the students (subjects), to improve the level of knowledge.Keywords
