Several kinds of invariant quasi and pseudo monotone maps are introduced. Some examples are given which show that every quasi and pseudo monotone maps are invariant quasi and pseudo monotone maps. Relationships between generalized invariant quasi and pseudo monotonicity and generalized invexity are established.
Our results are generalizations of those presented by X.M. Yang, X.Q Yang and K.L.Teo.

Respiratory distress (RD) is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in neonates. The prospective study was conducted in all neonates with RD, admitted to the neonatal unit over a period of two years. The clinical profile, aetiology and outcome were studied and relevant investigations were conducted in all the cases. Out of 269 neonates admitted with RD, 59.85% had pneumonia. The overall mortality was 23.05%. The outcome was correlated with the aetiology, clinical presentation, oxygen requirements and ventilator support. A higher A-ADO2, a lower pH, early age of onset of respiratory distress, higher initial FiO2 required to keep SpO2 > 90% and a high respiratory index were all significant predictors of mortality.Keywords

Objectives: The present study is designed to evaluate the different symptomatology of snake bites so as to institute proper timely treatment and reduction of mortality and morbidity due to it.
Methods: A prospective study was done among all the children admitted to the referral hospital with suspected snake bite from January 2010 to April 2012. The different signs and symptoms were evaluated and correlated with treatment modalities and outcome.
Results: The mainstay of the treatment was the polyvalent antivenin which should be administered preferably within one hour of the snake bite. The earlier the administration the more is the effect of ASV. Clot quality test is very simple, low cost, and easy bed side test which can help in the diagnosis of Viper envenomation and also helps in monitoring of the ASV treatment. Thereby reducing the mortality and morbidity particularly renal failures to a great extent.
Conclusion: Early diagnosis of a suspected snake bite and timely institution of the proper antivenins and other supportive measures can reduce the mortality and morbidity to great extent.

The present study highlights on the application of an Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) tool, Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) system model for hydrologic simulation of Mahanadi river basin in India. A monthly time step hydrologic model was developed using rainfall-runoff method incorporated in WEAP with an aim to address the challenge of water resources estimation in Mahanadi basin. The model was set-up without taking into account effects of development and it was calibrated against measured flow data available at six gauging stations. A good agreement was observed between simulated and measured flow after calibration. Crop coefficient (Kc) and effective precipitation are the parameters changed during calibration. The range of calibrated parameters was found as ± 5 % and ± 1 % for Kc and effective precipitation respectively for different catchments. The simulation of stream flow using calibrated values revealed that, in most cases, the variation between measured and simulated stream flow values is less than 10%. This shows the good agreement with measured data by using calibrated parameters. The calibrated and validated model can be applied for runoff simulations in other basins with similar hydro-meteorological conditions. The results of the study demonstrate the potential of using WEAP model for water resource management and assessment of future resource development in the basin.Keywords
