Abstract Background As points of entry (POE) - ports, airports and ground-crossings are important structures for international travel trade, their timely activated capacity to respond infectious disease threats is utmost importance. How can POE adjust from generic preparedness specific response? Methods We developed a conceptual framework public health response at POE, based on military used mo...

Recently Hinton (1999) has introduced the Products of Experts (PoE) model in which several individual probabilistic models for data are combined to provide an overall model of the data. Below we consider PoE models in which each expert is a Gaussian. Although the product of Gaussians is also a Gaussian, if each Gaussian has a simple structure the product can have a richer structure. We examine ...

Post-occupancy evaluation (POE) is a systematic method to evaluate the actual building performance against theoretical design intents after has been occupied for some time, understand how performing and capture lessons learned. The POE offers an opportunity investigate buildings' based upon occupants' satisfaction levels in aspects of overall design, indoor environmental quality, thermal comfor...

Direct drum seeding has emerged as a viable and alternate substitute to the current transplanted rice address constraints of labor water scarcity well rising cultivation costs. However, heavy weed infestation is main biological factor leading immense yield loss, which requires immediate attention. Therefore, adoption efficient management practice critical for success widespread direct seeded ri...

Pesticides are always used in formulations as mixtures of an active principle with adjuvants. Glyphosate, the active ingredient of the major pesticide in the world, is an herbicide supposed to be specific on plant metabolism. Its adjuvants are generally considered as inert diluents. Since side effects for all these compounds have been claimed, we studied potential active principles for toxicity...

BACKGROUND Acute endophthalmitis is one of the most serious complications of cataract surgery and often results in severe visual impairment. Several risk factors for acute postoperative endophthalmitis (POE) following cataract surgery have been reported but the level of evidence and strength of association is varied. The purpose of this study was to critically appraise published reports on and ...
