An exhaustive knowledge of flood risk in different spatial locations is essential for developing an effective flood mitigation strategy for a watershed. In the present study, a risk-vulnerability analysis to flood is performed. Four components of vulnerability to flood: 1) physical, 2) economic, 3) infrastructure and 4) social; are evaluated individually using a Geographic Information System (G...

Crisplant is a tilt-tray sortation system used in Reno (RNO 1) fulfilhnent center (FC) to group items by customer orders. On average., crisplant processes about 80% of the total outbound volume through its multipart operation flow. Because of high volume and complex process flow, the majority of defects, in RNO 1 FC. are seen in crisplant costing distribution center (RNO 1) significantly in lab...

purpose: the current study aimed to compare mental disorders in two groups of prisoners charged with premeditated murder and kidnapping. materials and methods: this descriptive study followed a casual-comparative design. the sample of this study included 60 prisoners charged with premeditated murder and 60 prisoners charged with kidnapping selected using simple random sampling method (sortation...

This paper considers the parcel hub scheduling problem (PHSP) with unequal batch size inbound trailers, which is a combinatorial optimization problem commonly found in a parcel consolidation terminal in the parcel delivery industry (PDI). The problem consists of processing a large number of inbound trailers at a much smaller number of unload docks. The parcels in the inbound trailers must be un...

BACKGROUND There have been only a few region-level ecological studies conducted in Canada investigating enteric infections in humans. Our study objectives were to 1) assess the spatial clustering of Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) human infections in the Greater Toronto Area, and 2) identify underlying area-level associations between S. Enteritidis infection rates and ...

BACKGROUND Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) remains a major foodborne pathogen in North America yet studies examining the spatial epidemiology of salmonellosis in urban environments are lacking. Our ecological study combined a number of spatial statistical methods with a geographic information system to assess area-level heterogeneity of S. Enteritidis infection rates i...

BACKGROUND A common disclosure control practice for health datasets is to identify small geographic areas and either suppress records from these small areas or aggregate them into larger ones. A recent study provided a method for deciding when an area is too small based on the uniqueness criterion. The uniqueness criterion stipulates that an the area is no longer too small when the proportion o...

ABSTRACT The primary municipal waste treatment in Tuban Regency, East Java, was landfilling, besides the small amount of turned to compost. Landfilling causes global warming, which leads climate change due CH4 emission. This environmental impact could be worst by population growth that increases waste. study aimed evaluate on management Gunung Panggung landfill Regency and its alternative scena...

Otitis media is often treated surgically through the use of a procedure termed myringotomy with insertion of a ventilation tube (MVT). From fiscal year 1992/3 to 1997/8, some 132,000 such operations were performed in Ontario, Canada, on young people < 20 years old. This study quantifies the small area variation (SAV) in MVT surgical rates across the 49 counties and 478 postal areas of Ontario; ...

The aim of this research were to determine antioxidant activity from different polarities beans extracts of five legumes beans using two methods of antioxidant testing which were DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2’azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and correlation of total phenolic, flavonoid and carotenoid content in various extracts of five legumes beans with th...
