The exponential increase in aviation activity and air traffic in recent decades has raised several public health issues. One of the critical public health concerns is runway safety and the increasing demand for airports without accidents. In addition to threatening human lives, runway accidents are often associated with severe environmental and…[Read more]

We are presenting a delayed complication of Amplatzer duct occluder (ADO) where the patient presented with increasing hemoptysis due to ADO eroding the vessel wall and forming a pseudoaneurysm which communicated with the left main bronchus. Though ADO is considered as the safest for catheter based patent ductus arteriosus closures, isolated…[Read more]

Compared to MODIS-derived GPP, NPP, and ET during 2000-2014, Earth system models yield the best estimates for NPP, while slight underestimations for GPP and ET, and thus slight overestimations for WUEGPP and WUENPP. This study highlights the predominant role of vegetation activity in regulating regional WUE in Asian permafrost region under future…[Read more]
