TB is an airborne public health threat, so the reponse to TB has hbl5266ca been defined mainly through the lens of vertical, public-sector national TB programs (NTPs).However, TB exists within a broader health systems and health financing context.Here, we examine the intersection between the particular needs of TB programs and the broader health fi
Predicting the volume of corrosion products (CP) and their distribution in the steel rebar periphery will play an essential role in estimating the expansion stresses and, consequently, the behaviour of concrete in extreme environmental circumstances.In this respect, using the outcomes of performed laboratory studies, an attempt has been made to eva
Crypsis, or the ability to avoid detection and/or recognition, is an important and widespread anti-predator strategy across the animal kingdom.Many animals are able to camouflage themselves by adapting their body colour to the local environment.In particular, rapid changes in body colour are often critical to the survival of cryptic prey which rely
Since their release in 2007, smartphones and their use have seemingly become a fundamental aspect of life in western society.Prior literature has suggested a link between mobile technology use and lower levels of cognitive control when people engage in a cognitively demanding task.This effect is more evident for people who report higher levels of s
Underwater Internet-of-Things (UIoT) is an extension of Internet-of-Things technology in underwater.The underwater acoustic network with WiFi architecture (UW-WiFi), as a specific deployment of UIoT, has been proved to be a promising technique for wide-ranging marine applications.However, due to the unique features of underwater acoustic channel, s
