Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Discovering Legacies: Fathers, Sons, Masculinities, and Equity Within Families
Journal of Family Theory &Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this article, I examine how personal experiences within my family and my homeplace communities have shaped 20 years of basic and applied research, as well as theorizing, on fathering and masculinities. I focus on how my practice of reflexive research has led me to discover legacies of masculinities across generations of my own family ...

Prediction of Bridge Pier Scour Depth and Field Scour Depth Monitoring
E3S Web of Conferences, 2018 In practice, it is a major challenge in real-time simulation and prediction of bridge pier scour depth, especially using 3-D numerical model. The simulation time spend too much to use 3-D numerical model simulation and inefficiently to predict bridge ...

Flood fragility analysis for bridges with multiple failure modes [PDF]
, 2017 Bridges are one of the most important infrastructure systems that provide public and economic bases for humankind. It is also widely known that bridges are exposed to a variety of flood-related risk factors such as bridge scour, structural deterioration,

Searching for safety: Working conditions and policing in a US emergency department
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract In the United States, emergency departments aren't supposed to turn anyone away. They are the safety‐net of the safety‐net providing life‐saving care. Yet, what happens to healthcare when conditions are so strained that patients and staff lash out at each other? What happens when the safety net becomes a carceral net?

The Effect of Geotextile Layer in Decreasing Local Scour of Cylindrical Bridge Pier
علوم آب و خاک, 2017 Flood currents are considered threatening factors by creating local scour along bridge piers. One method for decreasing local scour is to strengthen the bed against imposed tensions.

Impact behavior of a strengthened bridge substructure under scour and vessel collision
Case Studies in Construction MaterialsWhen subjected to a vessel collision in the presence of scour induced by wave-current or flood, a bridge can sustain more severe damage compared to the pristine bridge undergoing the same impact.

On modeling the variability of bedform dimensions [PDF]
, 2005 : Bedforms are irregular features that cannot easily be described by mean values. The variations in the geometric dimensions affect the bed roughness, and they are important in the modeling of vertical sorting and in modeling the thickness of cross ...
