Power transmission lines routes mapping is an important technique for locating power transmission line routes andtowers on mountain/hilltops to assist viewing of their impacts on the environment, operations and allocation of publicutilities. A study was therefore conducted to map the power transmission lines within Bukit Lanjan PLUS highway. Themain objective of this study is to ass...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Acute hepatitis C virus infection in the era of universal screening of blood products has not disappeared, and is thought to be transmitted primarily via injecting drug use. A growing body of evidence supports iatrogenic transmission as an important mode of transmission. The aim of this study was to examine transmission routes and clinical characteristics in a group of patie...

Whole-genome sequencing of pathogens has recently been used to investigate disease outbreaks and is likely to play a growing role in real-time epidemiological studies. Methods to analyze high-resolution genomic data in this context are still lacking, and inferring transmission dynamics from such data typically requires many assumptions. While recent studies have proposed methods to infer who in...

oil-exporting economies largely dependent on oil revenues and oil income fluctuation are one of the most important factors that influence sectors of the economy specially the stock market. this paper investigate the relationship between oil markets and stock return volatility and transmission in a selection of opec countries, using a multivariate garch models (full-vech) over the period may 201...

This review of biocompatible lipophilic drug encapsulating and delivery systems entails the basics of colloidal drug delivery with special reference to oil-in-water microemulsion. The behaviour of the biocompatible systems, their formulation and ingredients, physicochemical properties, applications through different routes, advantages and restrictions therein have been presented. In vitro and i...

BACKGROUND Young people are of particular importance in state policies against Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). We intended to assess the knowledge and attitude of high school students regarding AIDS in Iran. METHODS Through a cluster-sampling, 4641 students from 52 high schools in Tehran were assessed by anonymous questionnaires in February 2002. RESULTS The students identified t...

background : main technique to control acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (hiv) infection is the effective preventive programs among high-risk groups. modeling is one of the effective methods where there is inadequate data. we used the modes of transmission (mot) model to predict the transmission of hiv infection in iran. methods : we systematically searched published and grey literature to fin...

Safe marine navigation in the Arctic is becoming more important with a growing interest in the region in recent years [1]. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) estimates there to be more than 90 billion barrels of undiscovered oil in the arctic [2]. With the summer Arctic sea ice extent having decreased by 50% since 1980 [3], this now opening waterway has given rise to serious interest in...
