BACKGROUND An increasing incidence of anal cancer among men suggests a need to better understand anal canal human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among human immunodeficiency virus-negative men. METHODS Genotyping for HPV was conducted on cells from the anal canal among men who have sex with women (MSW) and men who have sex with men (MSM), aged 18-70 years, from Brazil, Mexico, and the United ...

What are the risks in various alternatives for resource recovery and waste management? Who or what is threatened? What is saved or protected? Decisions about environmental risks are made in the face of uncertainties beyond common experience, particularly for new technologies. Municipal solid waste (MSW) composting lacks evaluative data offering a foundation on which to base scientific assessmen...

in a country like iran, where soil organic matter is less than 1% and in most cases even less than 0.5 %, municipal solid waste (msw) is a permanent and inexpensive source of organic matter. various experiments have indicated that applications of compost improve plant health, yield and nutritional quality. however, the quality of the compost determines the growth and the development of plants. ...

forecasting of municipal waste generation is a critical challenge for decision making and planning,because proper planning and operation of a solid waste management system is intensively affected by municipal solid waste (msw) streams analysis and accurate predictions of solid waste quantities generated. due to dynamic and complexity of solid waste management system, models by artificial intell...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to clarify how nurses and medical social workers (hereafter, MSW) collaborate in providing nursing and support to cancer patients who will transition to end-of-life care. METHODS Informants were comprised of 18 nurses and 8 MSW working at a large hospital practicing state-of-the-art cancer treatment. Interviews were conducted by forming focus groups comp...

Because human societies have not closed solid waste loops in the production and consumption of gaDds,methods of solid waste treatment are still necessary. In this work the author examines two modem methods of municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment as employed in Sweden. These methods are waste treatment in a bioreactor cell and MSW incineration. The investigation analyzes the critical economic c...

BACKGROUND Gonorrhea treatment has been complicated by antimicrobial resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Gonococcal fluoroquinolone resistance emerged more rapidly among men who have sex with men (MSM) than men who have sex exclusively with women (MSW). OBJECTIVE To determine whether N. gonorrhoeae urethral isolates from MSM were more likely than isolates from MSW to exhibit resistance to or...

The principal sources of chlorine in the MSW feed to WTE power plants are food wastes (e.g., wheat, green vegetables, melon, pineapple), yard wastes( leaves, grass, etc.), salt (NaCl), and chlorinated plastics (mostly polyvinyl chloride). Chlorine has important impacts on the WTE operation in terms of higher corrosion rate than in coal-fired power plants, formation of hydrochloric gas that must...

The condition of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in Malaysia, which contains excessive moisture complicate the segregation process of recycling and making the use of such technology as solid waste burning unsuitable and harmful. In addition, not much MSW pre-treatment is carried out in Malaysia to reduce the moisture content. Although Malaysia’s first waste-to-energy plant has proven to be relative...
