Anemia and iron deficiency are major public health issues worldwide particularly in Africa. Reliable information about their prevalence associated factors is required to allow for effective actions. In this study, we used data from recent (2006-2012) large population surveys, carried out 11 French-speaking African countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Congo Brazzaville, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal). Hemoglobin (Hb) was assessed...
Introduction Child stunting has a complex aetiology, especially in the first 1000 days of life. Nutrition interventions alone have not produced expected impacts reducing/preventing child stunting, indicating importance understanding interplay between environmental, physiological and psychological factors influencing nutritional status. This study will investigate maternal nutrition, health well-being status associated through assessment of: (1) anthropometry, (2) biomarkers nutrition status,...
The effect of particle size on the densification mechanism as atomised copper powder during spark plasma sintering was investigated. In temperature range 600–700°C and pressure 20–30 MPa, consolidation powders is given by rearrangement, deformation, neck formation minimal growth. Deformation are enhanced an increase in size, since current flow contact areas increases with size. actual area, instead, does not change extremely high localised points between particles leads to melting, giving...
Graphite–aluminium (Gr–Al) composites are being used for diverse engineering applications because of their light weight, good electrical conductivity and thermal properties. However, limited by high coefficient expansion low microhardness values which can be enhanced adding cheap efficient fillers. This paper reports the effect addition eggshell (ES) particles on properties sintered Gr–Al-based composites. Five different (Gr–Al, Gr–Al + 20 wt.%Si, wt.%SiC, 20Si wt.% wt.%ES 20SiC wt.%ES) were...
The densification and sintering behaviour of a cryomilled copper powder (grain size 17±2 nm dislocation density 6·26±0·04×1016 m−2) were investigated compared to those an atomised with the same mean particle in order highlight effect nanostructure on spark plasma (SPS). Oxygen nitrogen contamination gives rise extensive degassing during SPS up 400°C. is more resistant plastic deformation than one, but huge dislocations grain boundary activates at low temperature. Densification therefore...
Background: Pediatric emergencies are a public health priority in Senegal. The objective was to describe the epidemiology of admissions emergency department Albert Royer National Children’s Hospital Dakar, Methods: Prospective, descriptive and analytical study over period 4 months (January-April 2020). population children admitted for vital distress. Results: A total 300 met inclusion criteria represented (2.83%). majority (70.67%) were younger than 60 months, compared with 2.00% newborns....
Applications of Ti6Al4V alloy are limited due to its poor wear resistance. The resistance properties can be improved by the addition ceramics form metal matrix composites. and corrosion Spark Plasma Sintered Ti6Al4V–Al2O3 composites have been investigated. were sintered at 50 MPa a temperature 850 oC for 5 min in vacuum environment. composite samples characterised based on microstructure, relative density hardness. tests conducted dry environment under varying sliding loads whilst...
