A summary is given of the mechanical characteristics of virus contaminants and the transmission via droplets and aerosols. The ordinary and partial differential equations describing the physics of the…
BACKGROUND: Excess mortality due to seasonal influenza is substantial, yet quantitative estimates of the benefit of annual vaccination programs on influenza-associated mortality are lacking.METHODS: W…
BACKGROUND: Population ageing is an increasingly severe global issue. And this has been posing challenges for public health policies and medical resource allocation There are various features of popul…
The Disablement Process model (Verbrugge and Jette, Social Science & Medicine 38 (1994) 1) describes a pathway leading from pathology to impairment to functional limitations, and, ultimately to disabi…
Radiation air dose rates near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) have been steadily decreasing over the past eight years since the release of radioactive elements in March 2011. Current…
The present study was designed to assess selected psychometric properties of the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) (Ryan, 1982), a multidimensional measure of subjects' experience with regard to ex…
Unlike most other biological species, humans can use cultural innovations to occupy a range of environments, raising the intriguing question of whether human migrations move relatively independently o…
BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the effects of the Lifestyle Education for Activity Program (LEAP), a comprehensive school-based intervention emphasizing changes in instruction and school environment…
Understanding the patterns of gene flow of an endangered species metapopulation occupying a fragmented habitat is crucial for landscape-level conservation planning and devising effective conservation …
This research contributes to the current knowledge on teacher well-being by examining an integrated model with a personal resource (i.e., emotional intelligence) explaining teacher withdrawal intentio…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to analyze the relevance of the prenatal and postnatal diagnostic parameters of twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS).METHODS: Diagnostic data of all cases of TA…
A diffusion model is formulated which incorporates the process of group selection (i.e. interdeme competition) in addition to mutation, migration, individual selection, and random genetic drift. A con…
Measurements with LiF dosimeters in the absorbed dose range up to 6 Gy have shown a strong influence of the annealing and reading procedure on inset and extent of the supralinearity. With this regard …
Cultural forms are constrained by cognitive biases, and writing is thought to have evolved to fit basic visual preferences, but little is known about the history and mechanisms of that evolution. Cogn…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the performance of commonly used statistical methods for analyzing continuous correlated eye data when sample size is small.METHODS: We simulated correlated continuous data from t…
The safety of signalized intersections has traditionally been evaluated at an aggregate level by relating historical collision records for several years to the annual tra?c volume and the geometric ch…
This study of how positive mood mediates the influences of musical preference and postconsumption product evaluation on consumer satisfaction focuses specifically on a model in which positive mood ful…
Measurements of tritium specific activity levels and of temperatures in waters of the Torrej?n-Tagus reservoir (Spain) showed that their radioactive characteristics were basically influenced by the ra…
In the first part of this report the theory of the heat exchange between human body and external environment is developed. In particular, the problems concerning energy expenditure and heat production…
