Greenhouse gas reduction policies which alter fossil fuel use can have near term environmental and social impacts quite distinct from the longer term benefits for climate change for which they were originally designed. The air pollution-related health improvements that accompany the reduction in GHGs are the best understood of these so-called ancillary or co-control benefits. Impacts on traffic...

How international research might contribute to justice in global health has not been substantively addressed by bioethics. This article describes how the provision of ancillary care can link international clinical research to the reduction of global health disparities. It identifies the ancillary care obligations supported by a theory of global justice, showing that Jennifer Ruger's health capa...

The argument for the privatization of state enterprises is based on the superior efficiency of private over state ownership. This argument is only true when it ignores the institutional constraints including insecure property rights enforcement, land, credit, and export-quota policies. By using a survey of ninety-six textile-garment enterprises in Vietnam, private and foreign enterprises were f...

Excellence Synergic Index (ESI) is a new method for the excellence measurement. This technique is a causal method. ESI method was developed for studying the relations and interaction of excellence criteria and organizational pathology. By “ESI”, it is possible to measure the performance excellence of any service enterprises, to diagnosis organizational pathos and to propose problem-solvin...

PURPOSE To determine measurement variability of N1P1 amplitudes and the R1/R2 ratio in normal subjects and hydroxychloroquine users without retinopathy. DESIGN Retrospective, observational study. SUBJECTS Normal subjects (n=21) and 44 patients taking hydroxychloroquine (n=44) without retinopathy. METHODS Multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) was performed twice in one session in the 21 n...

The problem of laparoscopic entry is currently still unsolved, and despite the various techniques adopted by the surgical community, it has not yet been determined which is the correct access in all patients. Add to this the problem of safe ancillary port introduction; all surgeons must avoid vascular and visceral damage. The 2 most common problems with second port trocars are inferior and supe...

land cover is one of basic data layers in geographic information system for physical planning and environmentalmonitoring. digital image classification is generally performed to produce land cover maps from remote sensing data,particularly for large areas. in the present study the multispectral image from irs liss-iii image along with ancillary datasuch as vegetation indices, principal componen...

In this work we report a study on the effect of systematic ancillary ligand modifications on electrochemical and photophysical properties of cationic biscyclometalated bis(arylisocyanide)iridium(iii) complexes. Nine new Ir(iii) complexes were synthesized using three different cyclometalating (C^N) ligands (2,4-difluorophenylpyridine (F2ppy), 2-benzothienylpyridine (btp), and 2-phenylbenzothiazo...
