The charitable food system distributes free to clients across the U.S., but many nutrition and health-focused efforts encounter barriers success, which were exacerbated during COVID-19 pandemic. objective of current study was understand facilitators distributing nutritious, fresh foods in pantries Illinois pandemic.Forty-nine pantry representatives participated focus groups October 2021. A codebook created based on relevant literature, stakeholder interests, an initial review recordings....
Activating the STING pathway in cytosol of tumor-infiltrating antigen-presenting cells (APCs) represents a promising strategy to elicit potent antitumor immune responses for cancer therapy. However, agonists are mostly small hydrophilic molecules that suffer from rapid clearance and poor cytosolic delivery following systemic administration. While various nanoparticles have been developed promote delivery, they often exhibit premature drug release during circulation. Alternatively, stable...
Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) poses threat to human health in China, particularly winter. The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) led a series strict control measures Chinese cities, resulting short-term significant improvement air quality. This is perfect case explore driving factors affecting the PM distributions thus helping form better policies for future mitigation. Based on panel data 332 we analyzed function natural and anthropogenic pollution by applying...
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure has been linked to numerous adverse health effects, with some disadvantaged subgroups bearing a disproportionate burden. Few studies have conducted estimate the and inequality of different due lack adequate characterization disparities in air pollutants urban areas, mechanistic understanding causes these inequalities. Based on long-term series PM2.5 concentrations, this study analyzed spatial temporal characteristics 31 provincial capital cities China...
COVID-19 can increase the long-term risk of multiorgan dysfunction. Few studies investigated in Asian populations or association between viral load and risk. We aimed to investigate post-discharge rates hospitalization with baseline all patients Hong Kong. This was a population-based cohort study included positive RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 Kong January 1st 2020 August 30th 2020, routinely admitted public health care facilities isolation treatment. Viral Ct values were available 3433 (85%)...
A severe haze pollution incident caused by unfavorable weather conditions and a northern air mass occurred in eastern, northern, northwestern, southwestern China from January 15 to 22, 2018. To comparatively analyze variations PM2.5 pollution, hourly monitoring data 24 h meteorological were collected. Air quality observations revealed large spatiotemporal variation concentrations Handan, Zhengzhou, Xi’an, Yuncheng, Chengdu, Xiangyang, Jinan. The daily mean ranged 111.35 227.23 μg·m−³, with...
Abstract. Black carbon aerosol (BC) is the principle absorber to modify shortwave radiative balance between lower atmosphere and surface in polluted environment, which was in-situ characterized by aircraft measurements using a single particle soot photometer (DMT inc., SP2) throughout boundary layer up 3 km over North China Plain around Beijing megacity. The flights were conducted both hot season (late spring, Apr.–Jun. 2012, temperature > 20 °C, 10 flights) cold (winter, Dec. 2016,...
Air pollution in a city is the major environmental risk to health. Mobile sensing has become popular solution recent years. However, it still suffers from problems such as lack of data and high system uncertainty. This because that amount distribution vary over time. To address problems, this paper combines two classic driven models -- Kriging Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW). We adopt Random Forest Algorithm (RF) adaptively choose more accurate (Kriging or IDW) according features we...
The emergence of recent disease outbreaks calls for the design new educational games aimed at increasing awareness in prevention.

StopTheSpread integrates concepts network science and epidemiology, within a freely available provides unique learning experience free-choice learners teaches users basic prevention, series difficulty maintain user...
To develop a consumer nutrition environment assessment tool to assess policy, systems, and environmental initiatives that are implemented in food pantries, which incorporates recent national guidance, evaluate its validity reliability.
Mobile sensor networks are widely deployed for air quality monitoring. However, fine-grained pollution inference based on these systems is challenging. Specifically, diverse geospatial attributes in urban areas bring great spatial variations of the field. Besides, preprocessing raw samples, such as discretization and averaging, leads to lost information mobile sensing. In this paper, we propose an algorithm with attention mechanism better capture high-frequency Furthermore, introduce sensing...
Air pollution is a serious urban problem that threatens human health. Therefore, fine-grained events detection has become concerned issue for environmental management. Algorithms in previous studies identify as uptrend intervals at hour level. However, significant part of caused by traffic and industry can be brief but frequent, which may neglected under traditional coarse-grained detection. In this paper, we propose analysis air pattern based on minute-level event Over the real-world...
Abstract Background: COVID-19 caused unprecedented literature upsurge, and the world has worked together to fight epidemic. Methods: We conducted a bibliometric analysis evaluate research trends reveal core contents, based on publication outputs, geographical distribution, collaborations hot keywords. Results: Our revealed following: (1) The outputs obviously increased after SARS MERS outbreaks, while sharply rise during outbreak. Compared with MERS, aroused more dramatic prolonged upsurge....
