Analysis of unmarried adolescents and modern contraceptives initiation in Nigeria: Evidence from 2018 NDHS
(MDPI, 2022)
Nigeria is one of Africa’s most populous countries. Nigeria’s population is expected to
exceed 400 million by 2050, putting it among the top five most populous countries in the world. High
birth rates, limited contraception ...
Control of airborne microbes in a poultry setting using Dioxy MP 14
(FACTA-FUNDACIO ARNCO CIENCIA TECNOLOGIA AVICOLAS, 2015)
In this study, Dioxy MP 14, a locally developed form of chlorine dioxide,
was tested in a commercial chicken pen to determine its effectiveness as
an airborne environmental sanitizing agent. The biocide was introduced
via ...
Menstrual regulation: Examining the incidence, methods, and sources of care of this understudied health practice in three settings using cross-sectional population-based surveys
(BMC, 2023)
Menstrual regulation is a practice that may exist within the ambiguity surrounding one’s pregnancy
status and has been the subject of limited research. The aim of this study is to measure the annual rate of menstrual
regulation ...
Identifying multiple periodicities in sparse photon event time series
(Oxford University Press, 2016)
The data considered are event times (e.g. photon arrival times, or the occurrence of sharp
pulses). The source is multiperiodic, or the data could be multiperiodic because several unresolved sources contribute to the time ...
Modeling the dynamics of an epidemic under vaccination in two interacting populations
(Hindawi, 2012)
Mathematical modeling of the numerical evolution of infectious diseases has become an
important tool for disease control and eradication when possible. Much work has been done
on the problem of how a given population is ...
Antibacterial activity of rationally designed antimicrobial peptides
(Hindawi, 2020)
Many infectious diseases are still prevalent in the world’s populations since no effective treatments are available to eradicate them.
e reasons may either be the antibiotic resistance towards the available therapeutic ...
Factors associated with patellofemoral pain in recreational road cyclists: A cross-sectional study in 59953 cyclists – SAFER XXXIII
(Elsevier, 2023)
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common cycling-related injury, and independent factors need to
be identified to enable effective injury prevention strategies. We aim to determine factors associated
with PFP in cyclists ...
On multiple classes of gamma-ray bursts, as deduced from autocorrelation functions or bivariate duration/hardness ratio distributions
(Oxford University Press, 2012)
Autocorrelation functions (ACFs) of 119 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) monitored by the Burst
Alert Telescope (BAT) on Swift are calculated. Contrasting with previous results for smaller
numbers of bursts from other missions, ...
Cross-shelf movement of chrysaora fulgida (scyphozoa; discomedusae) off namibia inferred from stable isotopes (δ15n and δ13c)
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2021)
Large and small specimens of two species of metagenic Scyphozoa (true jellyfishes) can be found in nearshore waters off central Namibia throughout the year. Whereas populations of Chrysaora ...
Causes and patterns of morbidity and mortality in Afghanistan: Joint estimation of multiple causes in the neonatal period
(Springer, 2014)
This paper focuses on investigating the leading cause(s) of death and preventable factors in Afghanistan,
using data from verbal autopsies of infant deaths. We are of the view that the presence
of a disease in a person ...
