In this paper, a hybrid Mach-Zehnder optical modulator is proposed based on silicon nitride/organic polymer waveguides, which expected to break through the performance bottleneck of silicon-based by exploiting low-loss transmission property nitride waveguides and excellent modulation organic polymers. For reduction loss ease photonic packaging, perfectly vertical bidirectional grating couplers ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the population-level burden of sports injuries compared with that for road traffic injury for children aged <15 years in Victoria, Australia. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING Analysis of routinely collected data relating to non-fatal hospital-treated sports injury and road traffic injury cases for children aged <15 years in Victoria, Australia, over 2...

Introdução: Os anos de vida perdidos ajustados por incapacidade (DALY), conhecido como carga doença, mensuram o impacto uma doença na população. O câncer pulmão está entre as principais causas no mundo. Objetivo: Analisar a tendência dos em pessoas com diagnóstico Florianópolis, período 2008 2012. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo ecológico dados do Sistema Informações sobre Mortalidade para est...

Although the effect of hearing loss on years lived with disability (YLD) is quite substantial, occupational among migrant workers significantly under-studied. In Kuwait, where nearly two-thirds population are workers, burden noise-induced (ONIHL) unknown. The objective study was to assess prevalence ONIHL in Kuwait and explore workplace individual risk factors that associated ONIHL. We obtained...

Abstract COVID-19 has had a powerful impact on society with high rates of morbidity and mortality. The use an epidemiological indicator that estimates the burden disease by aggregating early mortality non-fatal cases in single measure potential to assist planning more appropriate actions at different levels health care. scope this article is estimate due Florianópolis/SC from April 2020 through...

background: this study uses data of the global burden of diseases (gbd) study 2010 to report death, disability-adjusted life year (dalys), years of life lived with disability (ylds) and years of life lost due to premature mortality (ylls), attributed to suboptimal breastfeeding by age and gender during 1990 to 2010 in iran. materials and methods:the gbd assessments were used, together with esti...

BACKGROUND Road traffic accidents are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries in Vietnam. The purpose of this study is to estimate the costs, in the first year post-injury, of non-fatal traumatic brain injury (TBI) in motorcycle users not wearing helmets in Hanoi, Vietnam. The costs are calculated from the perspective of the injured patients and their families, and include quantificat...

BACKGROUND The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study has provided a conceptual and methodological framework to quantify and compare the health of populations. AIM The objective of the study was to assess the national burden of disease in the population of Qatar using the disability-adjusted life year (DALYs) as a measure of disability. METHODS We adapted the methodology described by the Worl...

The Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV) is associated with sugarcane disease (SCYLD) and considered to be the most economically deleterious emerging pathogen that represents a potential threat danger cultivation in China. Over last two decades, high genetic diversity SCYLV genotypes was observed worldwide, greater chance of YLD incidence for injury. infection has significantly damaged its econo...

The growing demand for quality of papaya by the domestic and international markets requires development genotypes that are capable incorporating traits, such as high yield fruit quality. This study estimated genetic parameters specific combining ability F4 lines crossed to SS-72/12 tester identify with higher value hybrid production. We evaluated 169 treatments consisting 62 topcross combinatio...
