Pathways of the determinants of unfavourable birth outcomes in Kenya

open access: yes, 2003
This paper explores the pathways of the determinants of unfavourable birth outcomes, such as premature birth, the size of the baby at birth, and Caesarean section deliveries in Kenya, using graphical loglinear chain models. The results show that a number

Implementing the US air quality standard for PM2.5 worldwide can prevent millions of premature deaths per year

open access: yesEnvironmental Health, 2016
BackgroundAir pollution by fine aerosol particles is among the leading causes of poor health and premature mortality worldwide. The growing awareness of this issue has led several countries to implement air pollution legislation.

Influence of a Standard Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Properties of Inconel X‐750 Produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ni‐base superalloys produced using additive manufacturing (AM) have a different response to heat treatments when compared to their conventional counterparts. Due to such unpredictability, various alloys with industrial interest are currently overlooked in most prior AM research.

Residual Stress States in Microstructurally Graded PBF–LB/M Austenitic Steel Components

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study examines microstructurally graded 316L rectangular tube profiles fabricated via PBF–LB/M using a dual‐laser system. A 1 kW top‐hat and a 400 W Gaussian laser create distinct grain sizes and crystallographic texture. Mechanical properties are linked to microstructural evolution driven by processing conditions.

Microstructural Evolution and Mechanical Properties of a Medium‐Manganese Steel Manufactured by Laser‐Based Powder Bed Fusion of Metals

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Fe–12Mn–0.2C medium‐manganese steel is processed by laser‐based powder bed fusion of metals using blended as well as pre‐alloyed powder. Various scanning speeds are used to determine the influence of energy deposition rate on microstructure and mechanical properties.

Oral morphine analgesia for preventing pain during invasive procedures in non-ventilated premature infants in hospital: the Poppi RCT

open access: yesEfficacy and Mechanism Evaluation, 2019
Background: Identifying better pain management strategies for painful procedures performed in neonatal care is a clinical priority. Retinopathy of prematurity screening and heel-lance blood tests are essential clinical procedures, but adequate pain ...
