METHODS AND INITIAL FINDINGS FROM THE DURHAM DIABETES COALITION: INTEGRATING GEOSPATIAL HEALTH TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNITY INTERVENTIONS TO REDUCE DEATH AND DISABILITY

Objective: The Durham Diabetes Coalition (DDC) was established in response to escalating rates of disability and death related to type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly among racial/ethnic minorities and persons of low socioeconomic status in Durham County, North Carolina.We describe a community-based demonstration project, informed by a geographic

Abstract Faults and fractured zones are common geological hazards in tunnel construction, especially in seismic regions where tunnels are highly vulnerable to fault movements.This study uses Urumqi Metro Line 2 as a case, establishes a new damage assessment system for tunnels crossing multiple slip surface faults.Three-dimensional nonlinear finite

Modeling background and segmenting moving objects are significant techniques for computer vision applications.Mixture-of-Gaussians (MoG) background model is commonly rivolis las vegas used in foreground extraction in video steam.However considering the case that the objects enter the scenery and stay for a while, the foreground extraction would fai

Owing to reduction of sturgeon stocks in various water bodies, artificial propagation has become significantly important for stock restoration and appropriate broodstock selection is vital in this process.Selection of suitable broodstocks may influence the quality and quantity of obtained eggs and larva.The present study aimed to examine correlatio
