Abstract. To evaluate the improved emission estimates from online monitoring, we applied Models-3/CMAQ (Community Multiscale Air Quality) system to simulate air quality of Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region using two inventories with and without incorporated data continuous monitoring systems (CEMSs) at coal-fired power plants (cases 1 2, respectively). The normalized mean biases (NMBs) between o...

introduction: health care providers and health policy managers need updated and valid information regarding causes of death (cod) for development the health care facilities, directing primary prevention, assigning funds, and promoting public health. the major causes of death and its burden have not been yet appropriately identified in iran. although several studies had been carried out in this ...

We present a hierarchical partitioning of images using a pairwise similarity function on a graph-based representation of an image. This function measures the difference along the boundary of two components relative to a measure of differences of the components’ internal differences. This definition tries to encapsulate the intuitive notion of contrast. Two components are merged if there is a lo...

background cancer is one of the most important leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. objectives this study aimed to calculate the burden of 9 common cancers in the population covered by mashhad university of medical sciences in iran in 2010-2011. patients and methods we calculated disability adjusted life years (dalys ) for each of nine cancers according to the sex and age groups...

The overall disease burden consists of a disability component1 expressed as years lost to disability (YLD) and a mortality component expressed as years of life lost (YLL).2 The distribution of the overall disease burden increases with age, but with minor peaks in early childhood and early adulthood. For 2000, in early adulthood when the burden was almost entirely accounted for by disability, me...

The exist.rnce of weakly interacting massive pa1·ticles (WHvlPs) has been suggested to explain both t.he dark matter conundrum and the sohu neutrino deficiency. Provided t.hat thf'y do not annihilat.f', these part.ides can be extremely efficient. in transporting energy inside stellar cori�s. They can supplement radiation and, under the specific circ:umstances which Wf' analyze, f'H'.'11 supprf'...

OBJECTIVE To define TB control priorities using cost-effectiveness and burden of disease. METHODS An assumed cohort of 2,000 cases was set up based on age-specific incidence of 794 newly registered smear-positive cases in Beijing in 1994. Prognostic trees and model diagrams of infectivity with natural history and DOTS intervention were constructed based on the epidemiological parameters. RE...
