From January 1, 2000, to August 31, 2001, a team of environmental health specialists from Public Health-Seattle & King County, a partner in King County's Local Hazardous Waste Management Program, made educational visits to 981 automotive repair shops. The purpose was to give the auto repair industry technical assistance on hazardous waste management without using enforcement action. Through sit...

Cardiac auto-regulation involves integrated regulatory loops linking electrics and mechanics in the heart. Whereas mechanical activity is usually seen as 'the endpoint' of cardiac auto-regulation, it is important to appreciate that the heart would not function without feed-back from the mechanical environment to cardiac electrical (mechano-electric coupling, MEC) and mechanical (mechano-mechani...

There have been several techniques to repair the medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) with the goal of restoring the anatomic and firm fixation of the meniscal root to bone. Many anatomic studies about the menisci also have been developed, so a better understanding of the anatomy could help surgeons perform correct fixation of the MMPRTs. The meniscal roots have ligament-like structure...

Abstract Deep neural networks (DNNs) and auto differentiation have been widely used in computational physics to solve variational problems. When a DNN is represent the wave function quantum many-body problems using optimization, various physical constraints be injected into network by construction increase data learning efficiency. We build unitary constraint monotonic cumulative distribution (...

This piece of research was conducted in Shenandoah, a small city near Houston, Texas. Shenandoah has been experiencing a fastgrowing economy and annexation process. The research highlights the potency of ...

The aim of this essay is to analyze the role of quantum mechanics as an inherent characteristic of life. During the last ten years the problem of the origin of life has become an innovative research subject approached by many authors. The essay is divided in to three parts: the first deals with the problem of life from a philosophical and biological perspective. The second presents the conceptu...

To investigate the health impact of vehicular pollution of Kolkata (former Calcutta), a cross-sectional study was carried out during 2007-2010 among 932 male non-smoking residents of the city and 812-ageand gender-matched rural subjects as control. The urban group included 460 men who were occupationally exposed to vehicular pollution: 56 traffic policemen, 188 street hawkers, 82 auto rickshaw ...
