The recent fatality rate per 10,000workers due to industrial accidents in Korea has gradually decreasing (2007 1⁄4 1.92, 2008 1⁄4 1.80, 2009 1⁄4 1.57, 2010 1⁄4 1.55, 2011 1⁄4 1.48, 2012 1⁄4 1.40). Also, among the total occupational injuries and illness, the proportion of those in employees who belong to a workplace with over 300 employees has diminished since 2004 (2004 1⁄4 14.9%, 2005 1⁄4 12.6...

Magnetic Microrobots In article number 2001073, Chia-Yuan Chen and co-workers present microrobots fabricated by employing a distinct block-to-block approach in which the microrobotic structures were developed using magnetic nonmagnetic blocks. Distinct modes of robotic motions through an in-house electromagnetic system with theoretical numerical investigations provided for profound applications...

TOTAL of nine house fly mutants which occurred spontaneously or were A induced by X-ray were listed by two Russian investigators, SARKISSIAN (1941) and SEREBROVSKY (1941). These may have been the first attempts at the formal study of the genetics of Musca donestica L. Apparently these-investigators did not continue and extend this work subsequently. Recently, in connection with problems of resi...

In 1895 when the Lumière brothers unveiled their cinematographic camera, many scientists were elated. Scientists hoped that the machine would fulfill a desire that had driven research for nearly half a century: that of capturing the world in its own image. But their elation was surprisingly short-lived, and many researchers quickly distanced themselves from the new medium. The cinematographic c...

BACKGROUND The VL elimination strategy requires cost-effective tools for case detection and management. This intervention study tests the yield, feasibility and cost of 4 different active case detection (ACD) strategies (camp, index case, incentive and blanket approach) in VL endemic districts of India, Nepal and Bangladesh. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS First, VL screening (fever more than ...
