DO HEALTH BELIEFS EXPLAIN TRADITIONAL MEDICAL THERAPIES UTILISATION? EVIDENCE FROM GHANA



Use of plumage and gular pouch color to evaluate condition of oil spill rehabilitated California brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis californicus) post-release.

Sublethal effects of oil spills may dampen seabird rehabilitation success due to lingering negative impacts of contamination and stress on reproduction and long-term survival.These effects can be difficult to measure while birds are in care as well as A/C Delete once birds are released.Expression of sexually selected traits that are sensitive to co

Machine Learning Algorithm to Predict CO2 Using a Cement Manufacturing Historic Production Variables Dataset: A Case Study at Union Bridge Plant, Heidelberg Materials, Maryland

This study uses machine learning methods to model different stages of the calcination process in cement, with the goal of improving knowledge of the generation of CO2 during cement manufacturing.Calcination is necessary to determine the clinker quality, energy needs, and CO2 emissions in a cement-producing facility.Due to the intricacy of the calci

Ultra-high-speed dynamics of acoustic droplet vaporization in soft biomaterials: Effects of viscoelasticity, frequency, and bulk boiling point

Phase-shift droplets are a highly adaptable platform for biomedical applications of ultrasound.The spatiotemporal response of phase-shift droplets to focused ultrasound above a certain pressure threshold, termed acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV), is influenced by intrinsic features (e.g., bulk boiling point) and extrinsic factors (e.g., driving f
