disasters provide physical, social, political and environmental development windows of opportunities that can be used not only to reconstruct the impacted areas, but also to improve the socio-economic and physical conditions of the impacted population in the long run. it is argued, however, that there is a limited time frame of approximately four years for such opportunities to be utilized effi...

The past 5 years have been exciting and critical for the dental hygiene profession. It started when ADHA requisitioned an environmental scan that revealed an opportunity to move the profession in a new direction that provide for more leadership opportunities and roles for dental hygienists.1 Subsequent to this scan, the ADHA board of trustees developed a bold and comprehensive strategic plan th...

8 ABSTRACT | A key challenge of future mobile communication 9 research is to strike an attractive compromise between 10 wireless network’s area spectral efficiency and energy effi11 ciency. This necessitates a clean-slate approach to wireless 12 system design, embracing the rich body of existing knowledge, 13 especially on multiple-input–multiple-ouput (MIMO) technolo14 gies. This motivates the...

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of amino acids to their cognate tRNAs as building blocks for translation. Each of the aaRS families plays a pivotal role in protein biosynthesis and is indispensable for cell growth and survival. In addition, aaRSs in higher species have evolved important non-translational functions. These translational and non-translatio...

BACKGROUND Efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to improve maternal and child health can be accelerated by addressing preterm birth and stillbirth. However, most global health stakeholders are unaware of the inextricable connections of these adverse pregnancy outcomes to maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH). Improved visibility of preterm births and stillbirths will h...
