A Multi‐Objective Periodic Vehicle Routing Model for Sustainable Healthcare Waste Collection

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The collection of infectious waste from healthcare facilities (HCF) constitutes a recurring operational challenge. Indeed, despite the inherent health risks posed by the storage and the transportation of infectious materials, most of the existing waste collection systems tends to prioritise cost optimization and to underaddress the safety ...

Examining the diagnostic process for ovarian cancer in Nova Scotia: A linked administrative data study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecological cancer in the developed world. The absence of screening for early detection of ovarian cancer and the non‐specific symptoms associated with the disease mean that timely diagnosis is difficult.

Statistical Downscaling of Daily Temperature and Precipitation From Regional Climate Models in Complex Mountain Terrain

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The study provides insights for post‐processing climate model output in complex terrain, useful for climate change impact models. We compared different bias adjustment and downscaling techniques from quantile delta mapping to simple lapse rates. We developed a new spatial downscaling method based on principal components analysis, which showed superior ...

Beta Human Papillomaviruses Seropositivity and the Association With Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is one of the most common nonmelanoma skin cancers, with increasing incidence globally. Beta genus human papillomaviruses (β‐HPVs), particularly in immunocompromised individuals, have been implicated in the development of cSCC. However, the strength of association between β‐HPV seropositivity

A Design of Overlapped Chunked Code over Compute-and-Forward for Multi-Source Multi-Relay Networks

Sensors, 2018
This paper investigates the design of overlapped chunked codes (OCC) for multi-source multi-relay networks where a physical-layer network coding approach, compute-and-forward (CF) based on nested lattice codes (NLC), is applied for the simultaneous ...

Entrepreneurial Orientation and Environmental Performance in Water and Wastewater Companies: The Mediating Role of Circular Economy Practices for Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are key actors in advancing circular economy (CE) principles and sustainable development, yet their entrepreneurial dimension remains underexplored due to their statutory roles and non‐competitive environment.

Carbon‐Modified SnS2/g‐C3N4 S‐Scheme Heterostructure with Enhanced Interfacial Charge Transfer for Efficient Photocatalytic Reduction of Cr(VI) and 4‐Nitrophenol

Small, EarlyView.
The S‐scheme of SnS2‐C/g‐C3N4 heterostructure enables Photocatalytic Cr(VI) and 4‐NP reduction. ABSTRACT Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and 4‐nitrophenol (4‐NP) are persistent and highly toxic water pollutants that require efficient treatment under mild conditions. In this work, L‐cysteine‐derived carbon‐modified SnS2 (SnS2‐C) was prepared hydrothermally

Met is the most frequently amplified gene in endometriosis-associated ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma and correlates with worsened prognosis.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Clear cell adenocarcinoma of the ovary (OCC) is a chemo-resistant tumor with a relatively poor prognosis and is frequently associated with endometriosis. Although it is assumed that oxidative stress plays some role in the malignant transformation of this

Income Mobility, Automation, and Occupational Licensing

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological change has long been tied with distributional concerns due to displacement against certain skills on labor markets. Short‐run dislocations could create scarring in the long run. For example, shifts against less skilled workers with children could limit their ability to improve the inter‐generational income mobility of their ...

Who Takes High‐Earning CTE Pathways?

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wage gaps across demographic groups in the U.S. labor market are well documented. A key question is the degree to which group‐based sorting into high‐ versus low‐paying occupations reflects underlying preferences, versus structural barriers or prior educational experiences.
