Among individuals currently treated for depression, there may be inequalities in health outcomes, attitudes, and overall care between those who have previously taken depression medication on their first medication. This study aimed to examine differences with prior treatment (PT) versus no (NPT) 1) class of taken, 2) healthcare resource use (HRU), 3) patient activation, 4) satisfaction, 5) seve...

The increasing sediment yield in the watershed is caused by natural and human activities, which significantly shifts hydro-meteorological watershed. Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE) equation Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to estimate yields for each hydrological response unit (HRU) based on peak runoff, daily runoff volume, area of unit, other estimated default model paramet...

A grid-based version of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model, SWATgrid, was developed to perform simulations on a regularized grid with a modified routing algorithm to allow interaction between grid cells. However, SWATgrid remains largely untested with little understanding of the impact of user-defined grid cell size. Moreover, increases in computation time effectively preclude dire...

A main goal of the study is to investigate whether decentralized ventilation (DV) systems can outperform typically centralized (CV) system in terms energy while keeping indoor air quality at acceptable levels. And additional research questions regarded heat recovery function and placement DV units within apartment space. The question about modeling themselves a Software, IDA-ICE was investigate...

Several access control models that use attributes have been proposed, although none so far is regarded as a definitive characterization of attribute-based access control (ABAC). Among these a recently proposed model is the attribute-based access matrix (ABAM) model [14] that extends the HRU model [4] by introducing attributes. In this paper we consider the finite case of ABAM, where the number ...

Availability of a single source review of once-daily fixed-dose single tablet regimen (STR) and multiple tablet fixed-dose regimen (MTR) would optimally inform healthcare providers and policy makers involved in the management of population with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).We conducted a meta-analysis of published literature to compare patient adherence, clinical, and cost outcomes of STR...

The quality of input data and the process watershed delineation can affect accuracy runoff predictions in modeling. Upper Mississippi River Basin was selected to evaluate effects subbasin and/or hydrologic response unit (HRU) delineations density climate dataset on simulated streamflow water balance components using Hydrologic Water Quality System (HAWQS) platform. Five scenarios were examined ...

Surgical site infection (SSI) remains a common complication of surgical procedures. SSI leads to significant burden in terms patient morbidity and healthcare resource use (HRU). The environmental impact treating its associated cost has not been evaluated. This study aims analyse the HRU for NHS England. A budget model was created from perspective incidence rates were sourced Public Health Engla...

The temptation to include model parameters and high resolution input data together with the availability of powerful optimization and uncertainty analysis algorithms has significantly enhanced the complexity of hydrologic and water quality modeling. However, the ability to take advantage of sophisticated models is hindered in those models that need a large number of input files, such as the Soi...
