BACKGROUND Few studies have considered using environmental amenities to explain social health inequalities.Nevertheless, Green spaces that promote good health may have an effect on socioeconomic health inequalities. In developed countries, there is considerable evidence that green spaces have a beneficial effect on the health of urban populations and recent studies suggest they can have a posit...

Two commonly used techniques in experimental lung research have helped to determine which variables influence surfactant distribution within the lung: radioactive labelling of surfactant components and admixture of coloured microspheres to surfactant. However, neither technique allows the description of surfactant distribution at the alveolar level. The aim of this study was to establish a new ...

Monochromatic unique green (UG) is more variable across the population than any other unique hue. Some researchers have reported that this broad distribution of UG settings is bimodal and that the distribution results from the superposition of two or more subpopulations. We have investigated this claim using a Wright colorimeter to measure the unique green wavelength of 58 participants and we h...

This article proposes a method to quantify, first, the probability of occurrence green water and, second, expected maximum pressures during events using their statistical distribution for ships at forward speed. A large data set which represents 1945 hours continuous sailing on full scale with different sea states, speeds and drafts was obtained model test experiments in wave–current tank. The ...

the two-spotted spider mite, tetranychus urticae koch (acari: tetranychidae), is an economically important pest of ornamental plant in iran. the population abundance and spatial distribution were studied on five rosa cultivars including maroussia, wendela, elderado, wenedetta, and hot lady during two growing seasons of 2011 and 2012 in greenhouse. the k parameter, index of dispersion, lloyd’s m...

Abstract Green spaces are recognised as an important contributor in enhancing the quality of urban life. Many cities now working on preserving and increasing their green a part sustainable development plans. Unfortunately, Cairo currently being marginalised city has been losing significant quantities its already limited favour other developmental projects. This article analyses distribution exi...

Many studies address the relationships between diversity or distribution and attributes of the physical environment. However, how these relationships are connected to variation in life history is poorly understood. This is particularly true in the case of pteridophytes. Japanese ferns and their allies comprise one of the best-known pteridophyte floras in the world. We analyzed ca 600 species of...
