In the application of photoacoustic human infant brain imaging, debubbled ultrasound gel or water is commonly used as a couplant for ultrasonic transducers due to their acoustic properties. The main challenge in using such a couplant is its discomfort for the patient. In this study, we explore the feasibility of a semi-dry coupling configuration to be used in photoacoustic computed tomography (...

Monte Carlo calculations have been done to study the possibilities of using different spatial distributions, local fluctuations and the number of Cerenkov photons in gamma ray showers to increase the sensitivity of the PACT experiment. After matching the trigger rates in data with the predictions of simulations, the energy threshold of the array for gamma rays is found to be about 900 GeV. It i...

This paper focuses on the relationship between metropolitan and regional health planning based on the processes of regionalization and the Pact for Health in the Baixada Santista Metropolitan Area, São Paulo State, Brazil. The method used was a case study in two stages, namely during initial implementation of the Pact for Health (2007) and the Regional Administration Committees (CGR) and in 201...

Risk of stock collapse is a genuine motivation for cooperative fisheries management. We analyse the effect of an endogenously determined risk of stock collapse on the incentives to cooperate in a Great Fish War model. We establish that equilibrium harvest strategies are nonlinear in stock and find that Grand Coalitions can be stable for any number of players if freeriding results in a total dep...

Decentralization and regionalization represent constitutional guidelines for the organization of the Unified Health System, which in the last 20 years has required the adoption of mechanisms to coordinate and accommodate federative tensions in Brazil's healthcare sector. This paper analyzes the national implementation of the Health Pact between 2006 and 2010 involving a strategy that reconfigur...

Part II explores current state law, outlining ways which doctrine remains incomplete. III establishes Earth jurisprudence is an effective method to fill gaps existing within tradit...
