BACKGROUND Dengue is considered one of the most important vector-borne diseases in Thailand. Its incidence is increasing despite routine implementation of national dengue control programmes. This study, conducted during 2010, aimed to demonstrate an application of integrated, community-based, eco-bio-social strategies in combination with locally-produced eco-friendly vector control tools in th...

Let G be a graph with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G), and f be a 0 − 1 labeling of E(G) so that the absolute difference in the number of edges labeled 1 and 0 is no more than one. Call such a labeling f edge-friendly. We say an edge-friendly labeling induces a partial vertex labeling if vertices which are incident to more edges labeled 1 than 0, are labeled 1, and vertices which are inciden...

background : due to specific conditions in hospitals such as accumulation, existence of disable persons and patients, different and complex equipment, chemical and infectious substances, flammable materials and ionized radiations, safety precautions is essential to prevent the occurrence of incidents such as fire, electric shock hazard and exposure to excessive levels in hospitals. this was the...

background: the 21st century is faced with increase in challenges of urban population and aging. according to statistics, the old population in the world and in iran is increasing. obviously, their health promotion is the concern of the community and achieving it requires purposeful planning. being healthy means to feel good in social, mental, and physical dimensions (definition by the world he...

Plug-in electric bus (PEB) is an environmentally friendly mode of public transportation and plug-in electric bus fast charging stations (PEBFCSs) play an essential role in the operation of PEBs. Under effective control, deploying an energy storage system (ESS) within a PEBFCS can reduce the peak charging loads and the electricity purchase costs. To deal with the (integrated) scheduling problem ...

thyme essential oils (eo) with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties are widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and perfume industry. it is also used for flavoring and preservation of several foods. nowadays, packaging research is receiving a considerable attention due to the development of eco-friendly materials made from natural polymers such as starch and chitosan. in this study thymus ...

the field of nanobiotechnology mainly encompasses with physics, biology, chemistry and material sciences and it develops novel therapeutic nano-scale materials for biomedical, drug delivery, cancer therapy and pharmaceutical applications. silver nanoparticles (agnps) have unique physiochemical, biological and environmental properties which make them useful in a wide range of applications, so ag...

We derive universal Diophantine properties for the Patterson measure μG associated with a convex cocompact Kleinian group G acting on (n + 1) -dimensional hyperbolic space. We show that μG is always a S -friendly measure, for every (G, μG) neglectable set S , and deduce that if G is of non-Fuchsian type then μG is an absolutely friendly measure in the sense of [7]. Consequently, by a result of ...

Relational database management systems manages the tables with predefined indexes. In RDBMS indexes are created on the basis of attribute values. The Imine indexing scheme is used to index item sets in relational databases. The index creation is performed with out any constraints. IMine provides a complete representation of the original database. The Imine indexing scheme reduces the input/outp...

shared memory multiprocessor architecture, performance evaluation Good simulation tools that provide architectural relevant insights play vital roles in building complex system such as shared-memory multiprocessors. In this report, we discuss HP-Set, a simulation tool that takes the core scheduling component of CIAT and integrates it with a set of statistic gathering probes that generate the co...
