Opportunities and barriers for providing HIV testing through community health centers in mainland China
Abstract: Background: Primary care may be an avenue to increase coverage of HIV testing but it is unclear what challenges primary healthcare professionals in low- and middle-income countries face. We describe the HIV testing...

BACKGROUND:Primary care may be an avenue to increase coverage of HIV testing but it is unclear what challenges primary healthcare professionals in low- and middle-income countries face. We describe the HIV testing practices in...
The cascade of global trade to large climate forcing over the Tibetan Plateau glaciers.
Black carbon (BC) aerosols constitute unique and important anthropogenic climate forcers that potentially accelerate the retreat of glaciers over the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau (HTP). Here we show that a large amount of BC...
Force fluctuations at the transition from quasi-static to inertial granular flow.
We analyse the rheology of gravity-driven, dry granular flows in experiments where individual forces within the flow bulk are measured. We release photoelastic discs at the top of an incline to create a quasi-static erodible bed...
Pride, prejudice and pragmatism
In this study, we examine how mobility and on-going changes in sociocultural contexts impact family language policy (FLP) in the UK. Using a questionnaire and involving 470 transnational families across the UK, our study...

The Optimization of Automobile Part Product Development Using Integrated Product Development (IPD)
This paper studies a new integrated product development (IPD) process at an automobile parts company. The process includes benchmarking and offers four optimization strategies for the new product development process: (1)...
Neural and Cognitive Signatures of Guilt Predict Hypocritical Blame
A common form of moral hypocrisy occurs when people blame others for moral violations that they themselves commit. It is assumed that hypocritical blamers act in this manner to falsely signal that they hold moral standards that...
Fast 3D Indoor Scene Synthesis by Learning Spatial Relation Priors of Objects

We present a framework for fast synthesizing indoor scenes, given a room geometry and a list of objects with learnt priors.Unlike existing data-driven solutions, which often learn priors by co-occurrence analysis and...

Online Monitoring Technology for Cable Insulation in Distribution Networks Based on Line Conduction Characteristics
Due to the increasing load of the power grid and the rapid expansion of cable line construction, monitoring cable insulation performance has become very important. To address this challenge, this paper proposes an online...
Bistable energy harvesting backpack

Inspired by the dynamics of the noninertial systems, a novel bistable energy harvesting backpack is proposed that improves biomechanical energy harvesting performance. In contrast to traditional bistable energy harvesters...

Water-carbon trade-off in China's coal power industry.
The energy sector is increasingly facing water scarcity constraints in many regions around the globe, especially in China, where the unprecedented large-scale construction of coal-fired thermal power plants is taking place in...
Origin and Radiative Forcing of Black Carbon Aerosol
Air pollution, a threat to air quality and human health, has attracted ever-increasing attention in recent years. In addition to having local influence, air pollutants can also travel the globe via atmospheric circulation and...
Surface/Interface Carrier-Transport Modulation for Constructing Photon-Alternative Ultraviolet Detectors Based on Self-Bending-Assembled ZnO Nanowires.
Surface/interface charge-carrier generation, diffusion, and recombination/transport modulation are especially important in the construction of photodetectors with high efficiency in the field of nanoscience. In the paper, a kind...
