Roots, Not Parachutes: Research Collaborations Combat Outbreaks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent infectious disease epidemics illustrate how health systems failures anywhere can create disease vulnerabilities everywhere. We must therefore prioritize investments in health care infrastructure in outbreak-prone regions of the world. We describe how "rooted" research collaborations can establish capacity for pathogen surveillance and facilitate rapid outbreak responses.

متن کاملEstimates for the Aerodynamic Coefficients of Ringsail and Disk-Gap-Band Parachutes Operating on Mars
Models are presented for the aerodynamic coefficients of Supersonic Ringsail and Disk-Gap-Band parachutes as functions of total porosity, λT, Mach number, M, and total angle of attack, αT (when necessary). The source aerodynamic coefficients data used for creating these models were obtained from a wind tunnel test of subscale parachutes. In this wind tunnel test, subscale parachutes of both par...
متن کاملNew tool advances investigations of disease outbreaks.
To combat disease outbreaks, public health officials often use painstaking fieldwork to try to stay one step ahead of the infectious bugs, linking patients’ symptoms to a source of infection to quickly identify the common culprit in related cases. Now, a new field called genomic epidemiology is taking advantage of the rapidly reduced costs of next-generation DNA sequencing to better inform publ...

Important kinesiology parameter which we track during sport training and competition is muscle force, which in biomedical term represents maximal muscle concentration under maximal pressure expressed in watts. Goal of Research was to estimate muscle strength of important muscle groups of parachutes, muscle flexor of under leg, underarm and but adductor and upper arm during sport parachutist jum...
