Background Allocation of adequate healthcare facilities is one of the most important factors that public health policy-makers consider when preparing for infectious disease outbreaks. Negative pressure isolation rooms (NPIRs) are one of the critical resources for control of infectious respiratory diseases, such as the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. However, there is insuffi...

This paper examines the recent trends in regional income disparity and urban-rural income inequality in the Chinese economy. It finds that the income disparity between the eastern and western region had declined, but the urban-rural income inequality continued to rise in all four regions during the period under consideration. Moreover, the urban-rural income disparity increased more rapidly in ...

The paper explains the growth –inequality nexus for China’s provinces. The theoretical model of provincial development consists of two regions and studies the interactions of a mutual depending development process. Due to positive externalities, incoming trade and FDI induce imitation and hence productivity growth. The regional government can in‡uence the economy by changing international trans...

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the factors affecting regional disparities in prevalence adult obesity.Methods: This is an ecological which unit analysis were 229 local authorities (si = 78, gun 82, and gu 68). data obtained from database (ver 1.1) community health outcomes determinants (2015-2017) Community Health Survey (2018-2019). Multiple regression used identify relat...

We propose a computational scheme for uncalibrated reconstruction of scene structure up to a relief transformation from binocular disparities. This scheme, which we call regional disparity correction (RDC), is motivated both by computational considerations and by psychophysical observations regarding human stereoscopic depth perception. We describe an implementation of RDC, and demonstrate its ...
