These are the kinds of questions that Christians the world over are intrigued by and are asking today. Resolutions to these questions are relatively easier to formulate within the confines of the Church. The questions are oftentimes dismisse...

In order to ensure an adequate service to the population, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) rely on a given number of ambulances strategically located over the territory they serve. The arrival of calls to EMS being highly uncertain and evolving throughout the day, it may happen that at some point, the vehicles available to respond to these calls no longer cover properly all regions, even if the...

BACKGROUND Relocation following a disaster can impact the psychological well-being of evacuees. This study investigated the associations between residence-related factors and psychological distress among evacuees living in temporary housing after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. METHODS Data from 525 participants living in temporary housing were collected. Associations betw...

In 2008, Atlanta was the first city in the United States to completely eliminate its highrise public housing projects. Georgia State University professors Drs. Ruel, Oakley, and Reid undertook a three-year study to determine the health, behavior, and attitudes of residents both before and after relocation. This study sought to determine whether residents’ self-esteem and self-efficacy improved ...

OBJECTIVE We use a case-crossover analysis to explore the association between incident cardiovascular events and residential relocation to a new home address. METHODS We conducted an ambidirectional case-crossover analysis to explore the association between incident cardiovascular events and residential relocation to a new address using data from the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), a commu...

OBJECTIVES China's economic reforms have led to millions of citizens being relocated to support infrastructure development, reduce poverty, and address ecological, disaster-related and other concerns.

In this work, we propose a new mining-based file caching scheme for a hybrid storage disk system. In particular, we focus our efforts on reducing the latency of launching applications. The proposed scheme identifies correlated file accesses in a file access sequence via sequential pattern mining algorithm. Our scheme caches correlated files together to maximize the caching efficiency. The corre...

Regulatory mechanisms of chondrocyte differentiation in the growth plate are incompletely understood. Here, we find that histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) is located in the nucleus of chondrocytes in the proliferation zone and relocates to the cytoplasm of chondrocytes in the prehypertrophic zone in vivo. This suggests that the relocation of HDAC4 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm may play a role d...

Relocation decisions are complex. Each household has a bundle of attributes that make a location attractive to it, including the ability to access different activity locations easily, neighborhood quality, house amenities etc. Relocating households have an opportunity to find housing closer to their work. Using data collected in the Twin Cities area, we investigate how commute time and distance...
