Cervical cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide. The availability of prophylactic vaccines for high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection represents an important advancement in the prevention of cervical cancer. In Jordan, the availability of the HPV vaccination is restricted to individuals who are willing to pay. The aim of the current study was to ev

Healthcare databases are unique tools in public health research to evaluate the healthcareperformance and treatment compliance. Knowledge about the data quality is required toenable interpreting the results from statistical analyses. We summarize different samplingmethods suitable for the validation of healthcare databases and discuss their advantages anddisadvantages.You will learn from the prese

This project aims to study wide angle scattering events at LDMX through simulation. LDMX is a fixed target experiment searching for missing momentum of the beam electrons to identify dark matter signals. It consists of a tracking system around the thin tungsten target placed in a 1.5 T magnetic field, to measure the momentum of electrons before and after the target, and calorimeters (electromagnet

This document is the final report of the ATLAS-CMS Dark Matter Forum, a forum organized by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations with the participation of experts on theories of Dark Matter, to select a minimal basis set of dark matter simplified models that should support the design of the early LHC Run-2 searches. A prioritized, compact set of benchmark models is proposed, accompanied by studies of t

While its size and complexity make it a powerful knowledge source, the Deep Web also has a wide variety of offerings that can be adapted to meet business needs such as: Competitive intelligence, cross-enterprise collaboration, techno-elitism and innovative technology solutions. Additionally, elements associated with higher risks in terms of trading and security such as onion routing start finding

Successful enlargement of the small aortic root in children has remained a management challenge, particularly in the neonates and small infants. Achieving this aim requires thorough understanding of the anatomic features of the left ventricular outflow tract, careful patient selection, and skilful execution of complex surgery. This article reviews the anatomical principles upon which the surgical

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a neutron research facility under construction in southern Sweden. The facility will produce a wide range of radionuclides including 148Gd, 187W, 172Hf, 182Ta and 178nHf that could be released into the environment in an accident scenario. Detection limits for these contaminants in soil were estimated to be in the mg k-1 range for ICP-MS and <3 Bq per 200 ml

I here argue that Ted Sider's indeterminacy argument against vaguenessin quantifiers fails. Sider claims that vagueness entails precisifications, but holds that precisifications of quantifiers cannot be coherently described: they will either deliver the wrong logical form to quantified sentences, or involve a presupposition that contradicts the claim that the quantifier is vague. Assuming (as does

This debate concerns the relevance and suitability of the ‘Chinese model’ of environmental governance for the rest of the world as other countries grapple with how to govern climate change. Tianbao Qin and Meng Zhang argue that heavily directed and enforced environmental regulation, as manifested in China, is an efficient and effective form of governance for bringing about the necessary structural
