Perspectives Factors in HIV/AIDS transmission in sub-Saharan Africa Givans K. Ateka1 At the end of 2000‚ over 70% of the 36 million people living with HIV/AIDS were in sub-Saharan Africa and 16% in South-East Asia‚ while the rest of the world accounted for less than 14% (AIDS epidemic update: December 2000‚ UNAIDS/WHO‚ 2000). Close to 80% of resources targeted for HIV/AIDS-related expenditure are utilized in regions accounting for less than 5% of the pandemic. A look at some of the factors

WHAT IS FLUID MECHANICS ? FLUIED: Any thing whose particles can move easily from one place to another that means shape can be easily changed upon the application of negligible force. MECHANICS: Study of response of bodies upon the application of force. FLUID MECHANICS : Fluid mechanics may be defined as the branch of engineering science which deal with behavior of fluids under the condition of rest and

Drunk driving “Please blow into this machine. Thank you.” If you are a driver‚ this sentence is familiar to you. Many police examine drunk driving at the crossroads every day. Meanwhile‚ numbers of advertisements and messages on TVs and radios persuade us not to drive after drinking. Driving without drinking has become a common understanding. But why do we have to accept this? And what would we do if somebody is drunk driving? Today‚ I hope to convince you that drunk driving is terrible and that
