“…In multivariable Poisson interrupted time series regression, the COVID-19 lockdown was associated with a 27% decrease in the monthly numbers of HIV tests (IRR 0.73, 95%CI 0.72–0.73), a 25% decrease in HIV positive tests (IRR 0.75, 95%CI 0.71–0.79), and a 43% reduction in ART initiations (IRR 0.57, 95%CI 0.55–0.60). …”

Epidemiology of injuries from fire, heat and hot substances: global, regional and national morbidity and mortality estimates from the Global Burden of Disease 2017 study by Spencer L James (8673927)

“…At the global level, the age-standardised mortality caused by fire, heat and hot substances significantly declined from 1990 to 2017, but regionally there was variability in age-standardised incidence with some regions experiencing an increase (eg, Southern Latin America) and others experiencing a significant decrease (eg, High-income North America).…”

Experimental investigation of double-pipe heat exchangers in air conditioning applications by Saud Ghani (7205633)

“…By increasing the DIW flowrate in the evaporator, the compressor work was shown to decrease, while the COP was shown to increase. In comparison with a standard rated air conditioning unit, using a double-pipe evaporator and condenser units with the maximum DIW flowrates resulted in a decrease of about 53% in the compressor work and a similar percentage of increase in the system COP.…”

Welding of Semiconductor Nanowires by Coupling Laser-Induced Peening and Localized Heating by Kelly M. Rickey (19568770)

“…The characterization results indicate that solely laser peening or sintering can only moderately improve the thin film quality; however, when coupled together as laser peen sintering (LPS), the electrical conductivity enhancement is dramatic. LPS can decrease resistivity up to a factor of ~10,000, resulting in values on the order of ~105 Ω-cm in some cases, which is comparable to CdTe thin films. …”
