OBJECTIVE In 1998 and 1999, two NSW Area Health Services conducted the Youth At Risk of Deliberate Self Harm (YARDS) project. The YARDS project was designed to implement evidence-based service enhancements for the clinical management of young people with Deliberate Self Harm. This paper examines the extent to which service enhancements implemented during YARDS were maintained 4 years after the ...

biomedical l interventions and prevention strategies. It is an issue that has been a concern of public health officials for decades and has been addressed quite successfully from a national perspective. By eliminating two major sources of exposures—leaded gasoline and leaded paint—blood lead levels for the majority of Americans have dropped dramatically over the past two decades. Unfortunately,...

The use of autonomous systems on the wood processing sites forest industries can significantly increase safety, productivity, and efficiency by reducing number monotonous dangerous tasks conducted human labor utilizing heavy machinery. However, machines are challenging difficult to implement in mill yards environment because dynamic complex working environment, partly unstructured processes. in...

Published research emphasizes rapid downstream export of terrestrial carbon from mountainous headwater rivers, but little work focuses on mechanisms that create carbon storage along these rivers, or on the volume of carbon storage. Here we estimate organic carbon stored in diverse valley types of headwater rivers in Rocky Mountain National Park, CO, USA. We show that low-gradient, broad valley ...

Bacteria of the genera Bacillus and Clostridium form highly resistant spores, which in the case of some pathogens act as the infectious agents. An exosporium forms the outermost layer of some spores; it plays roles in protection, adhesion, dissemination, host targeting in pathogens and germination control. The exosporium of the Bacillus cereus group, including the anthrax pathogen, contains a 2...

BACKGROUND The horseracing training industry has largely been ignored in terms of active occupational health research. AIMS To provide baseline statistics on the specific nature and type of accidents that occurred in English horseracing stables during 2008. METHODS All 716 training yards/stables registered with the British Horseracing Authority were contacted in April/May 2009 to complete t...

The tendency to reach dynamic equilibrium of intercluster reaction, Ag7(H) and Cu7(H), in solution is driven by a stepwise, one-metal exchange process, which has been illustrated 2D EXSY NMR experiments.
