Globally, water quality indices (WQIs) are beneficial for evaluating groundwater and surface quality. The Canadian Council of Ministers Environment Water Quality Index (CCME WQI) was combined with the parametric values given by Directive 98/83/EC to investigate possible suitability resources human consumption on Rhodes Island. Chloride (Cl?), pH, calcium (Ca2+), electrical conductivity (CND), c...

A dengue é um dos graves problemas de saúde pública mundial. O Nordeste do Brasil (NEB) possui clima e ambiente urbano ideal para a proliferação mosquito Aedes (aegypti albopictus), vetor da doença. Estado Alagoas, principalmente sua capital, tem epidemias doença forma frequente. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo avaliar aplicação Rede Neural Artificial (RNA) nos casos notificados (CND) nas reg...

This paper presents a novel approach to the supervised classification of structured objects such as sequences, trees and graphs, when the input instances are characterized by probability distributions. Distances between distributions are computed via the JensenShannon (JS) divergence, which offers several advantages over the L2 distance or the Kullback-Leibler divergence. The JS divergence indu...

F. WHO Review History: Dronabinol was included in Schedule I of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances at the time of its adoption as Delta-9tetrahydrocannabinol together with several other isomers of tetrahydrocannabinol. At its 26 meeting, ECDD recommended that dronabinol, which is the (-)-trans isomer of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, be moved to Schedule II, while keeping the other s...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility, costs and sample representativeness of a recruitment method that used workers with back injuries as the point of entry into diverse working environments. METHODS Workers' compensation claims were used to randomly sample workers from five heavy industries and to recruit their employers for ergonomic assessments of the injured worker and up to 2 co-work...

ABSTRACT We present hydrodynamic simulations of the interstellar medium (ISM) within circumnuclear disc (CND) a typical active galactic nucleus (AGN)-dominated galaxy influenced by mechanical feedback from an AGN. The are coupled with CHIMES non-equilibrium chemistry network to treat radiative-cooling and AGN-heating. A focus is placed on central 100 pc scale where AGN outflows ISM constrained ...

We compare the results of kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations of a point-island model of irreversible nucleation and growth in four dimensions (4D) with the corresponding mean-field (MF) rate-equation predictions for the monomer density, island density, island-size distribution (ISD), capture-number distribution (CND), and capture-zone distribution (CZD), in order to determine the critical di...

Earthen waste lagoons are commonly used to store liquid wastes from concentrated animal feeding operations. The fate of ammonium (NH) and nitrate (NO) was studied in the vadose zone below earthen-clay dairy farm waste lagoons using three independent vadose zone monitoring systems. The vadose zone was monitored from 0.5 to 30 m below land surface through direct sampling of the sediment porewater...
