Abstract Integrated, timely data about pavement structures, materials and performance information are crucial for the continuous improvement and optimization of pavement design by the engineering research community.However, at present, pavement structures, materials and performance information in China are relatively isolated and cannot be integrat

Because of the inherent complexity of bioprocesses, mathematical models are more and more used for process design, control, optimization, etc.These models are generally based on a set of biochemical reactions.Model equations are then derived from mass balance, coupled SPRINKLE 24 HERBS with empirical kinetics.Biological models are nonlinear and rep

Fufu is a major component of food in West Africa.Local cassava farmers use detergent to ferment cassava root tuber during processing into fufu.Studies have established the hazardous health effects of detergent in humans.This study was carried out to determine the median lethal toxicity of detergent-processed cassava, and assessed its effects on the

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a severe infection caused by a picornavirus that affects livestock and wildlife.Persistence in ruminants is a well-documented feature of Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) pathogenesis and a major concern for disease control.Persistently infected animals harbor virus for extended periods, providing a unique opportun

Greece is experiencing a steady population decline caused by the declining migratory and natural balance.This research investigates the spatial impact of socio-economic and demographic factors on the natural population balance in Greece for the spatial zoning of municipal administrative units.Using geographically weighted regression (GWR) on data 2
