Objectives. The objectives of this study were to identify the randomised controlled trials in breast cancer occurring in low and middle income countries (LMICs) generally and within Sub-Saharan Africa specifically, to describe the current status and identify opportunities for further research in these areas. Materials and Methods. Data for this study were obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov. The s...

natural landscape alternation is a problem that has been under debate for a long time. landutilization techniques like agriculture, forest and rangelands, residential and urban are amonginfluential criteria affecting erosion severity and sediment yield in a given region. in this respect,land management is a promising option to mitigate it. thus, acquaintance with quantitative soilerosion owing ...

[ABSTRACT] The objective of this paper is to provide some guidance to transportation modelers or EMME/2 users to make right decisions in choosing cost-effective sub-area modeling approaches. Three approaches are presented here and they are as follows: 1) Focused Modeling Approach-aggregating and disaggregating regional Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs), and enhancing the regional base network in th...

_______________________________ In this paper, we present the geospatial methods in conjunction with results of a newly developed storm surge and sub-grid inundation model which was applied in New York City during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Sub-grid modeling takes a novel approach for partial wetting and drying within grid cells, eschewing the conventional hydrodynamic modeling method by nesting ...

Human inhalation exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), including the PM2.5 of outdoor origin, predominantly occurs indoors. To limit penetration into buildings, ventilation standards often require filtration air with a minimum efficiency. Nevertheless, filter selection recommended by is based on annual average concentrations without considering seasonal or diurnal f...

The current research paradigm for the environmental dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) focuses on those harbored within bacteria (i.e., intracellular fraction). Understanding both and extracellular ARGs has particular implications flux fate that are airborne via fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from ambient atmosphere to human airway. In this study, we developed an operationally...

The problems of distressed urban areas are getting worse year after year. Due to limited resources and Amenities of municipal organizations for solving every problem concerning urban distressed textures, it is essential to determine the priorities of each area based on identified factors and criteria. In distressed areas, there are different circumstances and distinctive citizens with their nee...
