The South African public antiretroviral therapy (ART) programme was rolled out in 2004 and to date constitutes one of the largest ART programmes globally [1,2]. The programme has been hailed by many as a success due to the reduction in mortality and morbidity rates [3,4]. However, the success of any ART programme is dependent on consistent, effective supply and delivery of antiretrovirals (ARVs...

Biological self-assembly systems lie at the interface between molecular biology, chemistry, polymer science and engineering. The key elements in molecular self-assembly are chemical complementarity and structural compatibility. Several types of self-assembling peptides have been engineered. Type I peptides undergo intermolecular self-assembly, type II peptides undergo self-assembly and disassem...

considering rapid growth and migration, higher accumulation of communities along with the high number of shopping trips in mega cities such as tehran brings environmental consequences like excessive amounts of energy use, air pollution and massive urban congestions in all urban trips ending to shopping areas. the present study has been performed in tehran, capital of iran in 2009-2010. with the...

Firms strategically promote, foster and pursue a reputation for technological innovation. Yet, present research did not examine whether such perception actually coheres with innovative activity itself. Previous studies in this field often relied solely on tangible products/product introductions, hence we apply multiple proxies based on a firm’s intangible innovative performance to examine the i...

Which comes first in reducing the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from transportation sector: consumer preference or technological advancement? Using a series of discrete-choice demand models, we estimate for automobiles Japan. Our model explicitly allows preferences fuel economy to evolve over time, and estimation results confirm existence such change. We then simulate behavior, enabling consum...
