7 Amazing Facts about Malaria in India

● India ranks very high in the list of countries with a serious malaria burden. In 2018 alone nearly 4 lakh cases of malaria and 85 deaths due to the disease were

reported in the country, according to data from the

National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme.

● WHO pegged death alone at nearly 17,000 in 2017, India has one of the worst country-malaria-burden in the world.

● Questions are repeatedly asked about the veracity of the Indian data, with some reports suggesting India may be recording just 8% of the actual number of malaria cases. Between 60% and 80% of patients in the urban areas are treated by private doctors or health establishments, most of whom do not notify cases.

● Six states — Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, and Mizoram along with the tribal areas of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh,

account for 90% of India’s malaria burden.

● Over 435,000 malaria related deaths occurred in 2017 in world, and young children were at risk.

How Energy conversion from coal is done?

Single generator sets of over 600 MW are now used in the UK, though there are many smaller generators in use. A 600 MW generator can supplythe average needs of over 1 million UK households. Three or four such generators are typically installed in a single large coal-fired station which isoften sited close to a coal mine, away from the city dwellers who consume the electricity. Such generators are usually driven by a compound arrangement of highpressure, intermediate-pressure and low-pressure turbines, increasing in size as the pressure decreases. Modern turbines rotate in a speed range from 1500 to 3500 r.p.m., usually 3000 r.p.m. for the UK’s 50 Hz system. For large coal-fired plant the steam pressure could be 25 megapascals (MPa) with steam temperatures of 500–600 °C to improve the thermodynamic efficiency. In nuclear reactors, which operate under less demanding conditions, the steam is superheated to about 5 MPa and 300 °C. Modern water tube boilers are complex and have ...

5 TOP FACTS LIGHTHOUSES

1 The builder of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, Sostratus – disobeying orders from the pharaoh Ptolemy – engraved his name and a dedication to the sea gods on the tower base. Fame 2 The technical term for the study of lighthouses is ‘pharology’, a word derived from Pharos, the island upon which the great Lighthouse of Alexandria once stood. Academia 3 George Meade built many notable lighthouses in the US during the classical lighthouse period. He is remembered in history as the winning general in the Battle of Gettysburg. War 4 The tallest lighthouse in the world is the Yokohama Marine Tower in Yokohama, Japan. The structure ﬂ ashes alternately green and red every 20 seconds. Tallest 5 Originally lighthouses were lit merely with open ﬁ res, only later progressing through candles, lanterns and electric lights. Lanterns tended to use whale oil as fuel.
