Palmoplantar (palmo meaning palm of the hand, plantar sole foot) pustulosis (PPP) is a persistent (chronic) condition that causes blisters filled with fluid on palms and soles feet. The skin can be very itchy painful, particularly if there are deep cracks in skin. persistent, but symptoms vary, becoming better worse over time, often no obvious cause.

Aquatic environmental deterioration is becoming a serious problem due to rapid urbanization and economic development, particularly in developing countries. As two important components of the aquatic environment, water quality and sediment pollution are widely considered to be concerns; however, they are considered separately in most cases. The relationship between water quality and sediment pol...

Increasing concern exists over the adverse effects of air pollution on human health. Epidemiological studies have shown a clear association between cardiovascular morbidity, decreased lung function, increased hospital admissions, mortality, and airborne concentrations of photochemical and particulate pollutants. Human exposure chamber studies of specific pollutants have shown that short term ex...

increasing in concentration of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, nickel, chromium and zinc cause considerable harmful effects on soil and environment. these elements are also hazardous to health of humans and wildlife. petrochemical plants and refineries pollution increase the amount of carcinogenic and tratogenic compounds in environment. the main goal of recent paper is the studying of soil...

Outdoor lighting is becoming increasingly widespread, and residents are suffering from serious light pollution as a result. Residents’ awareness of their rights to protection has gradually increased. However, due to the sometimes-inaccessible nature of residential vertical light incidence intensity data and the high cost of obtaining specific measurements, there is no appropriate hierarchic com...

Environmental safety in multi-district boundary regions has been one of the focuses in China and is mentioned many times in the Environmental Protection Act of 2014. Five types were categorized concerning the risk sources for surface water pollution in the multi-provincial boundary region of the Taihu basin: production enterprises, waste disposal sites, chemical storage sites, agricultural non-...

Given recent developments in the fields of GIS data modelling, spatial data representation and storage in spatial databases, together with wireless Internet communications, it is becoming more obvious that the requirements for developing a real time road traffic information system are being met. This paper focuses on building a data model for traffic representation with support from the current...

A deterministic model of economic growth and pollution accumulation, in the form of a system of partial differential equations, is designed and analyzed. The model assumes pollution as a by-product of production. The stock of pollution has a negative impact on production. The accumulation of pollution is dampened by a share of the investments, in the form of an environmental tax. We consider a ...

Automatically extracting protein names from the literature and linking these names to the associated entries in sequence databases is becoming increasingly important for annotating biological databases. NLProt is a novel system that combines dictionary- and rule-based filtering with several support vector machines (SVMs) to tag protein names in PubMed abstracts. When considering partially tagge...
