This cohort study evaluates the prevalence of dementia diagnoses among US adults with autism spectrum disorder.
This study evaluates the static and seismic stability of Narasimharaya Sagar (Gorukallu Balancing Reservoir) earthen dam, located in India’s seismically active Zone II. Using GeoStudio software, seepage, slope stability, liquefaction analyses were conducted to assess dam’s performance under dynamic conditions. Static analysis revealed factors safety above permissible limits, ensuring normal Seismic analysis, incorporating ground shaking with a peak acceleration 0.1 g, highlighted significant...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a common autoimmune disorder, is associated with chronic inflammatory response and unbalanced bone metabolism within the articular microenvironment. Adiponectin, an adipokine secreted by adipocytes, involved in multiple functions, including lipid pro-inflammatory activity. However, mechanism of adiponectin performance arthritic inflammation remains unclear. In this study, we observed effect on expression oncostatin M (OSM), cytokine, human osteoblastic cells....
Flood risk management has become a growing priority for city managers and disaster prevention agencies worldwide. Correspondingly, large investments are made towards data collection, archiving analysis technologies such as geographic information systems (GIS) remote sensing play important role in this regard. GIS offer valuable means delineation of flood plains, zoning areas that need protection from floods identification plans development scoping various kinds measures. inundation maps...
The kinematic behavior of rainfall-induced landslides from the pre-failure stage to post-failure contains important information for risk assessment and management. Because a complex relationship exists between rainfall conditions, pore water pressure, soil strength, movement rates, numerical model is most efficient way investigate landslides. In this study, material point method (MPM) used dynamic First, boundary conditions are extensively verified by comparing 1-D consolidation tests...
The objective of this study was to identify utilization housing support provided by the U.S. Department Housing and Urban Development (HUD) among autistic people in Using 2008 2016 Medicaid data, we identified individuals birth 61 years linked them national HUD data. We characterized demographics, co-occurring conditions, program involvement. Autistic enrollees enrolled increased 70% between 2016. Among 846,350 2016, 10.4% (n = 88,315) were HUD-assisted. HUD-assisted individuals, versus...
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Taiwan has been one of best performers in world with extremely low infections and deaths. This success can be attributed long experiences dealing natural disasters communicable diseases. However, different disastrous characteristics, disaster management systems for diseases are very terms laws, plans, frameworks, emergency operations. Taking pandemic as a study subject, we found that improved through comparison disasters, vice versa. First, having wider...
River slopes can be changed due to an extreme event, e.g., a large-scale earthquake. This uplift riverbed greatly and thereby change the behavior of river flow into free or submerged overfall. Corresponding damage, including erosion, on bridge piers located in take place aforementioned conditions. A reconstructed pier same location would also experience similar impact if condition is not changed. It important identify these phenomena research mechanism interaction between overfall types...
This paper presents a study on bridge pier protection with single porous basket (SPB) in clear-water experiments. The SPB is type of combined flow-altering countermeasure. was installed at distance ahead the protected pier. After series tests, results showed that appropriate installation able to effectively adjust flow pattern reduce down-flow motion and horseshoe vortex Dominant factors for protection—considered all tests—included between pier, submerged depth basket, length, diameter, hole...
Game theory has been applied to model power control in wireless systems for years. Conventional games tend consider unlimited backlogged user traffic. Different from the conventional methodology, this paper aims investigate limited data traffic and construct a game- theoretic tackling both one-shot repeated problem which variable demand needs be taken into consideration. To improve network performance such situation, we devise new SINR pricing scheme propose an algorithm calculate optimal...
Menopause is a normal part of aging and in the general population associated with chronic conditions that impact health, mortality, well-being. experienced differently by autistic individuals, although no studies have investigated this topic large sample. The purpose study was to investigate rates of, factors symptomatic menopause among individuals identify prevalence co-occurring individuals. We included females aged 35-70 years enrolled for 10 + months 2014-2016 Medicare and/or Medicaid (n...
This paper proposes a near-nature ecological technique, which can consist of wide range materials, to protect against pier scouring. The proposed technique involve the use many long strips that behave like water weeds. studied protection method scour by using in submerged overfall, particularly for located at maximum depth area overfall scour. length and size were chosen as factors study their protective effect. Our results showed this approach slowed flow velocity between installed bed....
A rapid change in the pore water pressure of unsaturated soil due to a wetting front is crucial factor and may result instabilities layered slopes. This study presents preliminary research on such change, which we define as seepage hammer effect. Vertical infiltration with multiple layers by column test was implemented investigate mechanism effect distinguish it from well-known Lisse reverse Wieringermeer two-phase flow model utilized understand evolutions water/air volumetric content, its...
Since 2004, debris-flow evacuation implemented based on critical rainfall intensity for warnings of occurrences has been a regulation in Taiwan, and its many implementations recent years have proven successful. When deciding the associated with decisions, social cost disasters should be taken into account addition to vulnerability area such disasters. However, current practical processes, that is not considered. As such, aim this paper explore how relate decision evacuate ahead debris-flow....
