The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence alcohol consumption, tobacco use and risky sexual behaviour among adolescents, evaluate socioeconomic factors potentially influencing these behaviours.This cross-sectional conducted from January April 2011 376 adolescents (15-19 years old) studying in different schools colleges Udupi, India. Youth Risk Behavior Survey questionnaire guidelines were followed for data collection. Participants' smoking habits patterns explored. Univariate...
The present research details the remote sensing, geotechnical and seismic aspects of hill slopes in Lower Tons river valley, Garhwal Himalaya, India. region is a part Lesser Himalaya holds religious strategic importance. studied span has been site slope failures past. sensing investigation was used to characterize geomorphological hydrological attributes area. This information delineate vulnerable locations. Along road stretch about 80 km, tests were conducted ascertain soil particle...
Abstract Warming-induced expansion in vegetation coverage and activity can accelerate the montane hydrological regimes. However, climate impacts on ecohydrology of forested valleys Himalaya are uncertain. In this study, utilizing results about three centuries cellulose isotope chronologies ( δ 13 C 18 O) dominant tree species, geo-chronological proxies, bio-geophysical dataset simulations including satellite observations, we show an activation ecophysiological processes evapotranspiration...
Adolescence is a crucial stage of life. The development and practice various risk behaviors predisposes the getting injured consequences in later life.This cross-sectional study was conducted among 381 adolescents (15-19 years) studying different schools colleges Udupi. Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), Center for Disease Control (CDC) Questionnaire Atlanta Guidelines adopted data collection. Behaviors such as poor obeying traffic rules while driving, violence at school premises, suicidal...
Abstract The present study assesses trends in rainfall Madhya Pradesh, Central India, over the long (1871–2016) as well short (1987–2016) temporal scales. region is home to disadvantageous groups of population including vulnerable tribals who depend on rainfall-based agriculture and forest products. Therefore, any disruption due climate change needs be documented for better planning. This focuses two meteorological subdivisions, East West which receive a major portion through Bay Bengal...
Abstract The Saraswati River used to flow from the glaciated peaks of Himalaya Arabian sea, covering a distance about 1800 km. It possibly sustained Harappan civilization in Indian subcontinent. This river has been studied as part Ghaggar–Satluj–Hakra–Nara channel system India and Pakistan. study investigated its independent existence evolution Himalayan foothill terrain proximal alluvial plains. Use satellite imagery, shuttle radar topography mission data, accelerator mass spectrometry 14 C...
Thermokarst (Thaw) lakes are landforms found in topographic depressions created by thawing ground ice permafrost zones. They play an important role the regulation of climatic functions. These a manifestation warming surface temperatures that accelerates ice-rich to degrade creating marshy hollows/ponds. In current global scenario, thermokarst high mountain regions (Himalaya) expected grow further. This accelerate which will affect carbon cycle, hydrology and local ecosystems. phenomenon has...
A watershed is the result of several geomorphic processes such as weathering, erosion, degradation and aggradation which are influenced by factors viz. tectonics, lithology, climate, landslides mass wasting etc. In a tropical watersheds contribute significant amount eroded material reflecting impact precipitation, relief anthropogenic activities. Himalayan region besides heterogeneity in stratigraphy, structure it observed that variability exhibited climatic conditions over small region....
Accelerated glacier mass loss is primarily attributed to greenhouse-induced global warming. Land–climate interactions have increasingly been recognized as an important forcing at the regional-local scale, but related effects on Himalayan glaciers are less explored and thought be factor regulating spatial heterogeneity. The aim of present study a multi-decadal approximation glacier—hydroclimate interaction over western region central Himalaya (WCH). Multi-species, highly coherent, tree-ring...
Abstract. Accelerated glacier mass loss is primarily attributed to greenhouse-induced warming, but land–climate interaction has increasingly been recognized as an important forcing at the regional-local scale. However, related effects on Himalayan glaciers are less explored believed be factor regulating spatial heterogeneity. This study aims present a multi-decadal approximation hydroclimate and over western central Himalaya (WCH). Three highly coherent, multi-species, tree-ring δ18O...
Abstract Remote sensing is processing platform originated devices. Air borne allocation plat sensors at airplanes while space born allocate satellites. Since satellites are in queue circulation morphological, therefore as a portion whole clump constructive almost by only. No whelm powered sensor or active origins ever procure power transmission systems. Same case of high-altitude platforms (HAPs) analogized out from super jet stream liner concord consume to make stable positioning arena...
Lipomas are very common benign tumours of mesenchymal origin. occur with an estimated prevalence rate 2.1 per 1000 amongst all that can involve in the human body. There have been only 5 cases giant lipomas published to date.1-5 This case report describes a unique lipoma located upper back 30 x cm measurement and weighing 3800 grams.
