Determinants of Informal Recycling Behavior among Urban Dwellers in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal
Recycling is an important tool to cope with and sustainably manage rapidly increasing waste generation, and promoting local practices such as informal recycling is vital in developing countries. is study identies determinants of informal recycling that residents of Kathmandu Valley, Nepal practice by selling the recyclable waste to scrap dealers. e data comes
from a households survey conducted with around 1200 households in the Valley in 2012. Informal recycling is important because it complements inecient and expensive waste collection services, diverts waste from the landll site, and helps the city to develop sustainably. We found that people who compost are 11.8 to 12.8 percent more likely to recycle in comp
Entomological Observations on a Decomposing Pig (Sus scrofa) in Nebraska: Late Spring to Early Summer
The determination of the postmortem interval (PMI) towards assisting in medicolegal investigations is a frequent requirement in any developed jurisdiction. Each of the latter has prevailing peculiarities, especially with many operating variables
that include seasonal changes. There is a dearth of information about the decompositional pattern and progress of cadavers
deposited on the ground in Nebraska, a jurisdiction lying within the Central Great Plains of North America. The present
study, using an experimental pig was designed to consider the entomological peculiarities within a geographical area exhibiting taphonomic characteristics, and during a defined season.
Effects of High-Intensity Circuit Training on Body Composition and Selected Cardiovascular Parameters in Overweight and Obese Children Aged 9-12

Explorations of the Combined Effects of Surface Energy, Initial Stress and Nonlocality on the Dynamic Behaviour of Carbon Nanotubes Conveying Fluid Resting on Elastic Foundations in a Thermo-Magnetic Environment
The vibrations of carbon nanotubes under the influences of various internal and external forces have been subjects of interests
for some years. These researches have not really considered the effects of surface energy and initial stress which are very
important from both material and mechanical aspects of views. Therefore, the current study presents the simultaneous
impacts of surface energy, initial stress and nonlocality and other various parameters on the nonlinear vibration of carbon
nanotube hot fluid-conveying resting on elastic foundations in a magnetic environment. The derived equations governing the
behaviours are solved using Galerkin’s decomposition-Adomian decomposition method is adopted to explore the concurrent
impacts of surface elasticity, initial stress, residual surface tension and nonlocality on the nonlinear vibration of singlewalled carbon conveying nanotube resting on linear and nonlinear elastic foundation and operating in a thermo-magnetic
environment
Temporomandibular Disorders: Assessment of the Knowledge and Current Practices of Senegalese Dentists
Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) is a generic term encompassing a group of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders. The aim of our study was to assess the evolution of knowledge and current practices of Senegalese
dentists regarding temporomandibular disorders, and to measure any disparities in diagnostic and treatment methods.
The Therapeutic Use of Low Intensity Laser in Temporomandibular Disorders: Literature Review
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a group of disorders that damage the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the
muscles of mastication. They are commonly associated with parafunctional habits and clinical symptoms, such as: headache,
clicking, limitation of lateral movement, protrusion and mouth opening, discomfort in the TMJ region and vertigo.
These conditions can be caused by a combination of various factors, including trauma, natural wear and tear, dental malocclusion,
emotional stress, or musculoskeletal problems.
Carbon Nanocomposites Deposition under Laser Breakdown from Liquid Toluene
Carbon nanocomposites deposition under toluene irradiation through transparent glass by nanosecond infrared laser radiation at ambient conditions was experimentally investigated. The dependence of deposited coatings thickness on the laser
pulse duration and absorbed energy amount is revealed. The atomic force microscope, scanning electron microscope and
modulation interference microscope are employed to definition deposited films morphology. The average nanocomposites
thickness on a glass substrate increases with the number of laser pulses. Raman spectroscopy was used to determine allotropic modification of synthesized nanocomposites. Raman spectra analysis confirms the presence of significant amount sp3
fraction and some sp2 fraction.
Central Obesity, Physical Activity, Basal Metabolism, and Body Composition in Adults: A Systematic Review
: Obesity is a global epidemic with serious consequences for countries.
Objective: This work aims to systematically review the available evidence on the relationship between basal metabolism (BM), body composition, and physical activity (PA) with central obesity.
Methodology: The search strategy was carried out using Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, and SciELO following
the PRISMA guidelines. The STROBE checklist and the Jadad scale were also used for quality assessment.

Studying the Infrared Spectroscopy and Structural Properties of Compounds Fluoride that Blotched by in
In doped calcium fluoride transparent conducting powder were prepared by solid-state reaction method. Structural properties of the samples were investigated as a function of various In-doping levels (x=0.00-0.01-0.02-0.03). The results of x-ray diffraction have shown that the samples are polycrystalline structure in cubic phase and show presence (111), (220), (311), (400) planes in pure CaF2 sample and the preferred orientation is (220) for pure CaF2 and we have peaks correspond (101), (112), (200), (202) for In for all samples and the preferred orientation is (112) for In for all samples. The average of crystallite size is within the range [2.976-0.845nm] for all samples. The relative intensities, distance between crystalline planes (d), crystallite size (D) and lattice parameters (a) were determined. Measuring the infrared spectrum of pure Calcium fluoride, it is found that there are six vibratory frequencies, namely: (3444.52 - 1517.59 - 1138.40 - 876.40 - 639.93 - 436.29) cm- 1 and six vibratory frequencies for indium doped calcium fluoride at 3wt%. (3441.94 - 1516.77 - 1138.44 - 876.55 - 642.09 -436.44) cm- 1 The study showed that the absorbance values, the absorption coefficient, the refractive index and the optical length were in the indium doped sample by 3wt% greater than that of the pure Calcium fluoride compound and are respectively: α=14.163 cm-1 n=1.767.

Electronic-nose Applications in Forensic Science and for Analysis of Volatile Biomarkers in the Human Breath
The application of electronic-nose (E-nose) technologies in forensic science is a recent new development following a long history of progress in the development of diverse applications in the related biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. Data from forensic analyses must satisfy the needs and requirements of both the scientific and legal communities. The type of data collected from electronic-nose devices provides a means of identifying specific types of information about the chemical nature of evidentiary objects and samples under investigation using aroma signature profiles of complex gaseous mixtures containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from manufactured products and parts of the human body. E-nose analyses also provide useful qualitative information about the physicochemical characteristics and metabolic conditions of human subjects without the need for time-consuming analyses to identify all chemical components in human-derived volatile mixtures.
