orf, also known as contagious pustular dermatitis, is anexanthemous disease caused by a parapox virus. it is usuallya benign locally self‑limiting illness; it can have systemiccomplication or progressive infected locations can include thefinger, hand, arm, and face. development of erythema multiformefollowing orf infection is very rare. in islamic populations suchas those of iran, orf can be ob...

This paper investigates the effects of the presence and magnitude of sensor noise on operators' performance and control stability when they use an Ecological Interface Design (EID) interface and a non-EID interface. Sensor noise was gradually increased in selected low-level physical sensors of DURESS III, a representative thermal-hydraulic process simulation. There are two important findings. F...

BACKGROUND Previous studies with small sample sizes reported contradicting findings as to whether pulmonary function tests can predict exercise-induced oxygen desaturation (EID). OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)), resting oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) are predictors of EID in chronic obstructive pulmona...

Disclosing environmental information is essential for listed firms to demonstrate social conscience. To fulfill government and public media supervision, Chinese are increasing the quality quantity of disclosed information. This elicits a new topic interest: correlation between media/government supervision corporate disclosure (EID). The paper addresses this issue through data analysis factor st...

Many countries are currently designing or even rolling out electronic identity cards. Simultaneously, eID applications are developed. In many cases, the eID technology is initially integrated in governmental applications. Thereafter, the technology is adopted by other domains (i.e. the financial sector, eHealth services, social networking, corporate environments, ...). However, security, privac...

The UK is the largest lamb meat producer in Europe. However, the low profitability of sheep farming sector suggests production efficiency could be improved. Although the use of technologies such as Electronic Identification (EID) tools could allow a better use of flock resources, anecdotal evidence suggests they are not widely used. The aim of this study was to assess uptake of EID technology, ...

BACKGROUND Services to diagnose early infant HIV infection should be offered at the 6-week immunization visit. Despite high 6-week immunization attendance, the coverage of early infant diagnosis (EID) is low in many sub-Saharan countries. We explored reasons for such missed opportunities at 6-week immunization visits. METHODS We used data from 2 cross-sectional surveys conducted in 2010 in So...

Several Member States in the European Union (EU)have rolled out electronic identity (eID) tokens for their citizens. The main objective of these eID tokens is to equip citizens with a tool for Identification, Authentication and electronic Signatures (IAS) for online transactions. Member States have invested heavily in building the infrastructure and the e-government services supporting eID toke...

Background: Epidemiologists have testified for a rise of emerging infectious diseases (EID) events in the tropical areas undergoing forest clearance episodes and make case their association to degradation loss. In view this, we developed workflow analyses based on open data model EID risk context degradation, integrating both exposure hazardous vulnerability EID. We applied mainland Equatorial ...
