INTRODUCTION Despite the universal right to access the same range, quality and standard of free or affordable health care and programs as provided to other persons, people with physical disabilities (PWPDs) continue to experience challenges in accessing these services. This article presents the challenges faced by PWPDs in accessing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in Kampala, Ugan...

Nonhuman primates have become common in sanctuaries, and a few such facilities even specialize in their care. Sanctuaries can improve the well being of many unwanted primates, especially in terms of housing and socialization. However, diverse facilities call themselves sanctuaries, and they have varying conditions, care programs, and restrictions. In addition, a general lack of regulation of sa...

The health-care needs and resources of disease-endemic regions such as west Africa have been a major focus during the recent Ebola outbreak. On the basis of that experience, we call attention to two priorities that have unfortunately been ignored thus far: 1) the development of clinical research facilities and 2) the training of host country investigators to ensure that the facilities and exper...

We introduce a natural variant of the (metric uncapacitated) k-median problem that we call the online median problem. Whereas the k-median problem involves optimizing the simultaneous placement of k facilities, the online median problem imposes the following additional constraints: the facilities are placed one at a time; a facility cannot be moved once it is placed, and the total number of fac...

AS potentially hazardous neutron radiation producing devices become mure preva lest I there is a corresponding proliferation of monitoring equipment, and a concomitant need to calPbr3ie that equipment. Neutron sources are available for calibration purposes, but elaborate calibration facilities usui~lfy are not. Instead, most neutron detector calibration is performed by placing both source and d...

Because of limited resources in the delivery of emergency medicine, telemedicine has rapidly developed. Telemedicine can allow physicians in receiving facilities to assess patients prior to medical transport and to compose transport teams to handle necessary interventions for acute medical conditions, such as stroke or myocardial infarction. In addition, telemedicine can allow patients to stay ...

When writing computer programs, certain patterns arise over and over again. For example, programs must often loop through the elements of arrays, increment or decrement the values of variables, and perform multi-way conditionals based on numeric or character values. Programming language designers typically acknowledge this fact by including special-purpose syntactic constructs that handle the m...

In this paper we consider the European continuous installment call option. Then  its linear complementarity formulation is given. Writing the resulted problem in variational form, we prove the existence and uniqueness of its weak solution. Finally finite element method is applied to price the European continuous installment call option.
