Global interest in LNG products and supply chains is growing, demand continues to rise. As a clean energy source, can nevertheless emit air pollutants, albeit at lower level than transitional sources. An plant capable of producing up 126 MMTA was successfully developed simulated this study. A hybrid life cycle assessment model examine the social human health impacts chain’s environmental emissi...

RATIONALE Endometrial cancer recorded a peak incidence in ages 60-64 years in Romania, reaching in 2013 the average value of 8.06/ 100,000 women, and 15.97/ 100,000 women within the highest risk age range, having in recent years an increasing trend, being higher in urban than in rural population.

One hundred thirty-nine infants and small children less than 48 months old were studied during the first 72 hours after intracardiac surgery for a variety of lesions. The hospital mortality rate was 19.4% (27 patients); 16 of those dying succumbed from acute cardiac failure. Deaths from acute cardiac failure were commonest in patients with low cardiac index (CI), and a continuous probability cu...

BACKGROUND Recovery post stroke is well documented in the field of stroke rehabilitation. The structure and process of rehabilitation are different between developed and developing countries. The aim of the present study was to compare the motor and functional recovery of stroke patients in Germany versus stroke patients receiving rehabilitation in South Africa.

This paper computes first the internal rates of return of different population cohorts. Secondly, we study the intragenerational aspects by calculating the returns over life-time contributions for workers of different categories, grouped by earnings, gender and marital status. Under a set of assumptions on contribution rates and wage profiles –in absence of actual data on longitudinal contribut...

Synthesis of the terminally disubstituted rigid rod molecules, [n]staffane-3,3("')-dithiols, n = 1-4, and their singly functionalized derivatives carrying an acetyl or a pentaammineruthenium(II), [ R u ( N H ~ ) ~ ] ~ + , substituent is described. Self-assembled monolayers of the neat [nlstaffane derivatives and of their mixtures with n-alkyl thiols were prepared on polycrystalline gold electro...
