Modular construction (MC) is a promising concept with the potential to revolutionize the construction industry (CI).The sustainability socialstudiesscholar.com aspects of MC, among its other encouraging facets, have garnered escalated interest and acclaim among the research community, especially in the context of climate change (CC) mitigation effo
Contracting as a bridging factor linking outer and inner contexts during EBP implementation and sustainment: a prospective study across multiple U.S. public sector service systems
Abstract Background Bridging factors are relational ties (e.g.partnerships), formal arrangements (e.g.contracts or polices) and processes (e.g.data sharing agreements) linking outer and inner contexts and are a recent evolution of the Exploration-Preparation-Implementation-Sustainment (EPIS) framework.Bridging factor research can elucidate ways tha
Role of O-C2 angle in the development of dysphagia in patients with halo-vest fixation
Abstract Background Dysphagia is one of the most serious complications in patients treated with a halo-vest brace.However, the cause of dysphagia development by halo-vest fixation is not yet clear.We therefore investigated the incidence of dysphagia and cervical alignment as well as clinical data from medical charts in patients treated with a halo-
Estimating Snow Depth and Leaf Area Index Based on UAV Digital Photogrammetry
This study presents a novel approach in the application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imaging for the conjoint assessment of the snow depth and winter leaf area index (LAI), a structural property of vegetation, affecting the snow accumulation and snowmelt.The snow depth estimation, based on a multi-temporal set of high-resolution digital surface
