PROGRAMMATIC IMPLICATIONS OF IMPLEMENTING THE RELATIONAL ALGEBRAIC CAPACITATED LOCATION (RACL) ALGORITHM OUTCOMES ON THE ALLOCATION OF LABORATORY SITES, TEST VOLUMES, PLATFORM DISTRIBUTION AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS

Programmatic implications of implementing the relational algebraic capacitated location (RACL) algorithm outcomes on the allocation of laboratory sites, test volumes, platform distribution and space requirements

Introduction: CD4 testing in South Africa is based on an integrated tiered service delivery model that matches testing demand with capacity.The National Health Laboratory Service has predominantly implemented laboratory-based CD4 testing.Coverage gaps, over-/under-capacitation and optimal placement of point-of-care (POC) testing sites need Apparel

Drought risk assessment for citrus and its mitigation resistance under climate change and crop specialization: A case study of southern Jiangxi, China

Crop specialization has become an important way to promote agricultural efficiency and increase incomes for farmers in China.Under extreme weather conditions, this is likely to increase resistance to drought risk mitigation and lead to greater drought damage.In order to make more sophisticated mitigation policy decisions, it requires efforts to ass

Time domain broadband noise predictions for non-cavitating marine propellers with wall pressure spectrum models

The broadband noise can be dominant or important for total characteristics for marine propeller noise representing the minimum base of self-noise.Accurate prediction of such noise is crucial for survivability of underwater military vessels.While the Spindle Drink Mixers FW-H Formulation 1B can be used to predict broadband trailing edge noise, the m
