This study provides a comparative environmental assessment of two pavement rehabilitation strategies: Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) and Mill and Fill (M&F). The analysis includes two FDR treatments, each containing bitumen emulsion in combination with a distinct hydraulic binder (active filler). Life ...
Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) are evolving as the most advanced method for comparing the environmental effects of products. In the complex field of electronic and microelectronic components a lot of effort has to be invested in data gathering, before seri
Plant physiology and structure are constantly changing according to phenology, environmental conditions, or exposure to biotic or abiotic stress. The study of plant water dynamics can give information on these changes, as they are linked to numerous plant functions. Photosynthesis, the fixation of atmo...
Locally aggressive or borderline tumors, such as Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, can damage the skin and subcutis, and penetrate the deep tissues, presenting as a locally aggressive tumor [9]. Superficial lesions are firm, ecchymotic, purpuric, and painful. Lesions are usually unifocal and growth...
The candidate should have a first class or upper second class honours degree, or a master’s degree (or equivalent qualification), in public health, geo-information science, remote sensing, statistics, urban planning, environmenta...
Studies have shown that nutritional supplements could reduce the adverse effects induced by air pollution. However, whether dietary patterns can modify the association of long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and its constituents with hyp
Table 2 shows the primary and secondary endpoints, including the definition, functional form of the variable, and measurement approach. Figure 5 shows the schedule of enrollment, intervention, and assessment. The primary outcome is heart rate; we collect three measurements monthly from every particip...
The contributions of the colonic bacteria and bacterial functions were higher than the fungi and fungal functions on the fecal scores and MUC2, indicating that the colonic bacteria occupied a dominant position in the connection between environmental factors and host responses in the colon. The omics-...
The biological effects observed in the aforementioned PDNVs form the basis for their tissue protection and repair properties. However, some studies have only conducted a superficial assessment of the PDNVs' activity without delving into the specific underlying mechanisms. It remains unknown whether the...
Traditional methods of risk assessment have provided good service in support of policy, mainly in relation to standard setting and regulation of hazardous chemicals or practices. In recent years, however, it has become apparent that many of the risks fac
