Patients’ awareness of herpes zoster (HZ) is crucial in timely treatment and preventing spreading varicella virus (VZV). We evaluate patient’s perceived severity HZ newly diagnosed patients. Polymerase chain reaction confirmed VZV positive patients ≥60 years were recruited from Kaiser Permanente Southern California 2012-5. Patients with a previous vaccine vaccination record defined as vaccinate...

US transportation agencies have been increasingly using recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) in hot mix asphalt (HMA) applications over the last 25 years. Initial use of RAS started with recycled postmanufacturers shingles, but now agencies are showing a growing interest in using post-consumer (tear-off) RAS in asphalt applications. Post-consumer asphalt shingles typically have 20 to 30 percent asph...

Asphalt shingles constitute more than 80% of the roofing materials in current residential housing United States. Many post-disaster surveys have reported failure these elements below design level wind event. Research to realistically model aerodynamics asphalt at full-scale is limited, resulting knowledge gaps peak loads and effects permeability. In this study, resistance are studied by using a...
