Health impact assessment (HIA) on a strategic level focuses on the broad determinants of health. However, the evidence with regard to the health impacts is often necessarily 'soft'. The example of a health impact review on national housing policy in the Netherlands shows that HIA can be effective even in the absence of hard data. Strategies used to overcome the problem of not having hard data a...

in this article, finite element method and ale formulation were used to numerically simulate impact of low-velocity specific projectiles with water surface. for the simulation, ls-dyna finite element code was used. material models which were used to express behavior of air and water included null material model. for the projectile, plastic-kinematics material model was applied. mie-gruneisen eq...

In this paper we study curvature properties of semi - symmetric type of totally umbilical radical transversal lightlike hypersurfaces $(M,g)$ and $(M,widetilde g)$ of a K"ahler-Norden manifold $(overline M,overline J,overline g,overline { widetilde g})$ of constant totally real sectional curvatures $overline nu$ and $overline {widetilde nu}$ ($g$ and $widetilde g$ are the induced metrics on $M$...

globally, irrigated agriculture is the largest extractor and the most frequent consumer of groundwater resources, with important groundwater-dependent and largely spread agro-economies. quality of irrigation water is one of the key factors which have either direct or indirect impact on plant growth, soil and water management practices and plant yields. this work aims at highlighting the importa...

Ag(+) mediated aggregation behaviour of two different amphiphilic zinc phthalocyanines (Zn-Pcs) (symmetric and asymmetric) has been investigated in solution, at the air-water interface and in Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films transferred onto glass substrates. A 4 : 1 ([Ag(+)]/[Pc]) complexation was observed for both symmetric and asymmetric Zn-Pcs at high [Ag(+)] concentrations which led to the for...
