The carrying capacity is well identified tool to manage problems due to uncontrolled tourism for any destination. This report highlights the carrying capacity estimation of Kerwa tourism area, Bhopal, India. The methodology used in this report is a new two-tier mechanism of impact analysis using index numbers derived from a survey of 123 stakeholders. From this the individual component impact a...

BACKGROUND Impaired decision-making capacity is a frequent complication of inpatient hospitalization, with potential negative impacts on patients and the healthcare system. Studies of clinician behavior show difficulty in diagnosis and management of capacity impairment. Appropriate management of incapacitated patients may benefit safety, medical outcomes, and healthcare expenditure. OBJECTIVE...

This paper describes a powerful formulation to solve UTRA-FDD Power Allocation for both UL and DL, considering Soft Handover, multiple services, as well as dynamic changes. Some of the parameters obtained as outputs of the Power Control algorithm (PC) can be also easily used to optimise the admission procedure and evaluate system capacity, while avoiding cell congestion.

We study a firm's optimal strategy to adjust its capacity using demand information. The capacity adjustment is costly and often subject to managerial hurdles which sometimes make it difficult to adjust capacity multiple times. In order to clearly analyze the impact of demand learning on the firm's decision, we study two scenarios. In the first scenario, the firm's capacity adjustment cost incre...

BACKGROUND Practitioners often require training and technical assistance to build their capacity to select, adapt, and implement evidence-based interventions (EBIs). The CDC Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP) aims to promote CRC screening to increase population-level screening. This study identified the training and technical assistance (TA) needs and preferences for training related to ...

Power grids, throughout the world, are operated as large interconnected networks to ensure reliability of supply in an economic way. The interconnected nature of power network makes it vulnerable and sometimes even a small disturbance in the grid may propagate and result in a blackout. Investigations into major blackouts of the decade in the world have identified inadequate monitoring of the dy...

In this work we are interested in investigating how the High Altitude Platform (HAP) can efficiently support Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) in a scenarios wherein the terrestrial network is not available. To this aim, we propose to implement an efficient policy of Radio Resources Management (RRM) into the HAP Radio Network Controller (H-RNC). The proposed technique allows to impr...

China harbors one of the most species-rich floras in the world. This plant diversity is currently severely threatened by high levels of habitat degradation and unsustainable resource extraction, the country’s exceptionally fast economic growth, an uncontrolled increase in tourism, invasive species, and climate change. Furthermore, China’s current system of protected areas is ineffective at cons...
