Across the world, organizations are required to comply with regulatory frameworks dictating how to manage personal information. Despite these, several cases of data leaks and exposition of private data to unauthorized recipients have been publicly and widely advertised. For authorities and system administrators to check compliance to regulations, auditing of private data processing becomes cruc...

BACKGROUND Miombo woodlands play an important role in the livelihood of people living in sub-equatorial African countries, contributing to satisfy basic human needs such as food, medicine, fuelwood and building materials. However, over-exploitation of plant resources and unsustainable harvest practices can potentially degrade forests. The aim of this study was to document the use of Miombo plan...

conclusions according to the results obtained, the largest numbers of deaths and illnesses were due to the high average pm10 concentration or an increase in the number of days of exposure to this pollutant. background particulate matters have harmful effects on human health and can intensify mortality and disease. objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the health impacts of partic...

With uncertainty in future irrigation water availability and regulations on nutrient application amounts, experimentally determined effects of “controllable” management strategies such as nitrogen (N), water, and their combination on crop water productivity (CWP, also known as crop water use efficiency) and actual evapotranspiration (ETa) are essential. The effects of various N application rate...

In this work, we presented the characteristic of PM2.5 chemical composition over China for the period of 2005– 2012, by synthesis of in-situ measurement data collected from literatures and satellite-based estimates using aerosol optical 10 depth (AOD) data and the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model. We revealed the spatiotemporal variations in PM2.5 composition during 2005–2012 and investigated...

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to examine long-term population-based trends in the incidence rate of patients with a humeral fracture admitted to a hospital in the Netherlands from 1986 to 2012 and to give a detailed overview of the health care consumption and productivity loss with associated costs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Age and gender-standardised incidence rates of hospital admissions for p...

Device-performances of 3.7 THz indirect-pumping quantumcascade lasers are demonstrated in an InGaAs/InAlAs material system grown by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy. The lasers show a low threshold-current-density of ~420 A/cm and a peak output power of ~8 mW at 7 K, no sign of parasitic currents with recourse to well-designed coupled-well injectors in the indirect pump scheme, and a maximum o...
