This article will touch on theories, scientific research and conjecture about the evolutionary genetics of the brain function and the impact of genetic variants called polymorphisms on drug-seeking behavior. It will cover the neurological basis of pleasure-seeking and addiction, which affects multitudes in a global atmosphere where people are seeking "pleasure states".

In their provocative article " Managing the Care of Health and the Cure of Disease, " Glouberman and Mintzberg (2001) asked, " Shouldn't the fact that different countries seek to solve the exact same problem by moving in diametrically opposed directions be telling us some-thing? " The article by Michel-Verkerke, Schuring, and Spil describes an approach to facilitating the chronic care needs of ...

Rapid growth in a number of vehicles on roadways accelerates pavement deterioration trends. Pavement inefficiency in carrying the applied load from passing vehicles results in spending significant costs on continues Maintenance and Rehabilitation (M&R) treatments. Lane closure owing to the implementation of M&R operations incurs enormous costs on road users. The research aimed to calculate, and...

Sarcopenia or loss of skeletal muscle mass is a major complication of cirrhosis and liver disease. A large body of literature exists to support the prognostic significance of sarcopenia in cirrhosis. Independent clinical consequences of sarcopenia in cirrhosis include lower survival and quality of life, increases risk of complications including infections and encephalopathy, and lower post live...

The scope of this paper is to outline, in a general way, the safety philosophy inherent in present roadand street design, trace the origin of this philosophy, and to present the principles for a new design of streets and roads. It will be argued that deficiencies in the present road design philosophy are the main cause of the global road safety crisis, clearly indicating its man-made nature. A ...

Branch roads, which are densely distributed in cities, allow for the flow of local traffic and provide connections between the city and outlying areas. Branch roads are typically narrow, and two-way traffic flows on branch roads are thus affected when vehicles traveling in opposite directions meet. This study investigates the changes in the velocities of vehicles when they meet on two-way branc...

The suggested method helps predicting vehicles movement in order to give the driver more time to react and avoid collisions on roads. The algorithm is dynamically modelling the road scene around the vehicle based on the data from the onboard camera. All moving objects are monitored and represented by the dynamic model on a 2D map. After analyzing every object’s movement, the algorithm predicts ...

T 's a small world after all. At least, that's what the millions of tourists who take to the skies, roads, and paths each year to discover it are finding. Advances in technology and transportation and the emergence of a global economy are providing greater access for unprecedented numbers of travelers to explore the once-remote world around them. Directly and indirectly, however, tourism may of...

transportation as a prerequisite and basics of stable development has a key role and great efficiency in seeding facilities and intellect. it has also a significant role as an effective index in growth and development to the extent that the number of accidents in our country are increasing which carries with them a lot of financial, psychological and social losses, for this reason, it seems to ...

BACKGROUND The fractional concentration of nitric oxide in exhaled air (FeNO) potentially detects airway inflammation related to air pollution exposure. Existing studies have not yet provided conclusive evidence on the association of FeNO with traffic-related pollution (TRP). OBJECTIVES We evaluated the association of FeNO with residential TRP exposure in a large cohort of children. METHODS...
