OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of the National Essential Medicines Scheme (NEMS) with respect to urban-rural inequalities regarding drug prescriptions in primary care facilities. METHODS A stratified two-stage random sampling strategy was used to sample 23,040 prescriptions from 192 primary care facilities from 2009 to 2010. Difference-in-Difference (DID) analyses were performed to test the a...

Measurements are crucial for research in the fields of microelectromechanical (MEMS), nanoelectromechanical (NEMS) and industrial applications. In this work, design approach development construction a testing 4D mechatronic system, respective validation, including detailed description used components parts as well performed tests validation working environment, presented. Because is equipment, ...

Rapid progress in material science and nanotechnology has led to the development of shape memory alloys (SMA) polymers (SMP) based functional multilayered structures that, due their capability achieve properties not feasible by most natural materials, have attracted a significant attention from scientific community. These materials can sustain large deformations, which be recovered once appropr...
