An urban regeneration health impact assessment (HIA) was conducted collaboratively with three major government agencies and the local community in 2005 and 2006 to identify health impacts of a major land use strategy outlined in the consultant's report for the Greater Granville Regeneration Plan - Stage 1 (Sydney: Hassall Pty Limited, 2005). Health impacts were identified and agreed recommendat...

BACKGROUND The adverse health and equity impacts of transnational corporations' (TNCs) practices have become central public health concerns as TNCs increasingly dominate global trade and investment and shape national economies. Despite this, methodologies have been lacking with which to study the health equity impacts of individual corporations and thus to inform actions to mitigate or reverse ...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly around the world and many studies have shown these typical rare atypical findings, such as transient pneumothorax, spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SP), well emphysema subcutaneous during hospitalization. This is case in a 56-year-old woman with COVID-19, who presented hospitalization, of low abundance. As her clinic worsened dyspnea impaired...

assessing the behavior of composite structures which are subjected to impact loads is one of the important subjects in the field of mechanical sciences. using thin-walled tubes which collapsed and absorbed the impact energy is a well-known method to prevent damages to the other parts of the structures. in this paper, deformations, crushing length, peak load, mean force and energy absorption cap...

An effort is made to gain insight on the effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the impact response of carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRs) under low velocity impact. Certain amount of CNTs could lead improvements in mechanical properties of composites. In the present investigation, ABAQUS/Explicit finite element code (FEM) is employed to investigate various damages modes of nano composites ...

in recent years, more attention is paid to stainless steel 316l as fracture plate and fixation in human's body. present studies are focused on surface and metallurgical properties of this material. biocompatibelity of this material and its superior mechanical properties has made it the most demanded biomaterial. in this research, four different implants are investigated in three stages. four co...
