OBJECTIVE: Health impact assessment (HIA) has been proposed as one mechanism that can inform decision-making by public policy-makers.However, HIA methodology has been criticized for a lack of rigour in its use of evidence.The aim of this work was to formulate, develop and test a practical guide to reviewing publicly available evidence for use in HI
Inhibiting Hsp90 chaperone roles using 17AAG induces cytostasis or apoptosis in tumor cells through destabilization of several mutated cancer promoting proteins.Although mitochondria are central in deciding the fate of cells, 17AAG induced effects on tumor cell mitochondria were largely unknown.Here, we show that Hsp90 inhibition with 17AAG first a
A compact single-radiator microstrip patch OREGAMAX antenna with highly integrated duplexing and filtering functions is proposed for dual-band dual-polarized (DBDP) base-station applications, and the center frequency ratio of the upper and the lower operation band is just 1.14.The single radiation patch with four high isolation channels is oriented
The high rates of bat mortality caused by operating wind turbines is a concern for wind energy and wildlife stakeholders.One theory that explains the mortality is that bats are not only killed by impact trauma, but also by barotrauma that results from exposure to the pressure variations caused by rotating turbine blades.To date, no published resear
In the age of digital technology, as teens seem to be constantly connected online, via social media, and through mobile applications, it is no surprise that they increasingly turn to digital media to answer their health questions.This study is the first of its kind to survey a large, nationally-representative sample of teens to investigate how they
