Anaemia and mental functions in rural primary school children
(1989) D.K. Agarwal; S.K. Upadhyay; K.N. Agarwal; R.D. Singh; A.M. Tripathi
Mental functions of 388 (6-8 years of age) rural primary school children matched for social and educational status were assessed in relation to anaemia and nutritional status. Malin's intelligence scale for Indian children and an arithmetic test were administered to assess intelligence, attention and concentration. No significant differences were found between the IQ scores of anaemic and non-anaemic groups, except for the subtest digit span. In contrast, there was an effect of nutritinal status on IQ scores. Observations on the arithmetic test showed that anaemia is associated with lower levels of attention and concentration.

Etiology of maternal and early childhood deficiency anemia
(Springer India, 1986) D.K. Agarwal; B. Bhardwaj; P.N. Singla; A.M. Tripathi; K.N. Agarwal
One hundred mothers from the urban slum and rural areas of Varanasi and their 109 children between 3 months and 3 years of age were studied. The prevalence of anemia in the mothers (Hb<12·0 g%) and their children (Hb<11·0 g%) was 57·0 and 55·0 and 55·0 per cent respectively. The mean age of anemic children (18·4±9·2 months) was higher than that of nonanemic children (15·1±11·3 months). The prevalence of anemia in the children of anemic mothers was 63·5 per cent as compared to 43·5 per cent in the children of non-anemic mothers (p<0·05). This difference could be due to poor maternal iron stores, prolonged breast feeding and higher prevalence of intestinal parasites in the anemic mothers and children (73·8 and 59·9% respectivelty) compared to (19·4 and 2·6%) in their non-anemic counterparts. © 1986 Dr. K C Chaudhuri Foundation.

Feeding practices in Varanasi district
(1981) G.P. Katiyar; D.K. Agarwal; A.M. Tripathi; K.N. Agarwal
This paper describes infant and child feeding practices in the urban, urban slum, and rural areas of the Varanasi district, India. 784 mothers were interviewed to investigate the feeding pattern of their 893 children, all in the 0-5 year age group. In all groups cow's milk or goat's milk was most frequently used as the first food after birth; boiled water and honey was also frequently used as the first food after birth, especially in rural areas. The first feeding was offered mostly within the first 608 hours of birth in the urban and urban slum areas, within the first 4-6 hours of birth in rural areas. The majority of children in all groups were first put to breast on the 3rd day after birth; colostrum was discarded in 90% of children of the urban slum and rural group, while 63.74% of urban children received colostrum. 53.85% of urban children were breastfed up to 6 months, as compared to 10.21% of those in urban slums, or 12.2% in rural areas; breast feeding was prolonged in the slums and in rural areas, and sometimes beyond 2 years of age in rural areas. 66.67% of children in the urban group were weaned before 6 months, as compared to 40.14% and 33.63% in the slums and in the rural group; weaning was markedly delayed in those last 2 groups; 5-9% of children in rural areas were not weaned at all. While 50.55% of urban children recived solid foods between 7-12 months of age, most of slums and rural areas children received solids between 13-18 months. About 20% of urban children were started on an adult diet by 12 months, and the majority by 18 months; most slum or rural children were started between 18-24 months or after 2 years, respectively. 83.62% of urban infants were given foods such as cereals, meat, curd, brinjial and root vegetables, which not given to other groups' infants because of the belief that they can cause clinical disorders. From these observations it appears that traditional and customary child rearing practices are still prevalent in urban slums and rural areas, and certainly not to the advantage of the growth and development of children. Only education on infant health and nutrition imparted to young mothers would correct such age-old infant feeding practices.

On M-C-injective and self-c-injective modules
(2010) A.K. Chaturvedi; B.M. Pandeya; A.M. Tripathi; O.P. Mishra
Let M 1 and M 2 be two R-modules. Then M 2 is called M 1-c-injective if every homomorphism α from K to M 2, where K is a closed submodule of M 1, can be extended to a homomorphism β from M 1 to M 2. An R-module M is called self-c-injective if M is M-c-injective. For a projective module M, it has been proved that the factor module of an M-c-injective module is M-c-injective if and only if every closed submodule of M is projective. A characterization of self-c-injective modules in terms endomorphism ring of an R-module satisfying the CM-property is given. © 2010 World Scientific Publishing Company.
Physical growth at adolescence
(1974) K.N. Agarwal; A.M. Tripathi; S. Sen; G.P. Katiyar
Physical growth at adolescence is more rapid and proceeds earlier in girls than in boys. The girls were heavier and taller than boys. However, after the age of 14 yr, boys had significantly increased heights and weights as compared to girls. The chest circumference was greater in girls than in boys. In both sexes, the skull circumference increased by 1.5 cm and mid term arm and mid leg circumference by 4 cm during adolescence.
Physical growth characteristics in relation to sexual growth
(1974) K.N. Agarwal; S. Sen; A.M. Tripathi; G.P. Katiyar
Physical and sexual growth was assessed in 3,555 school children from Varanasi and Ramnagar. Physical growth characteristics like height and weight were found to be directly related to sexual maturity. Other growth parameters like circumference of skull, chest, mid arm and mid leg did not show any significant relationship with sexual maturity. The mean age for menarche was 12 years.
Weak and strong convergence theorems for common fixed points of relatively asymptotically nonexpansive mappings
(2009) D.R. Sahu; T.M. Karade; A.M. Tripathi; Sajid Anwar
In this paper, we prove weak and strong convergence theorems for the modified Mann type iteration process to fixed points of relatively asymptotically nonexpansive mappings. Our results improve various celebrated results of fixed point theory in the context of relatively asymptotically nonexpansive mappings. © 2009 Academic Publications.
