Burden of disease scenarios for 204 countries and territories, 2022–2050: a forecasting analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Stein Emil, Vollset

“…We also forecasted that both DALY counts and age-standardised DALY rates will continue to shift from CMNNs to NCDs, with the most pronounced shifts occurring in sub-Saharan Africa (60·1% [95% UI 56·8–63·1] of DALYs were from CMNNs in 2022 compared with 35·8% [31·0–45·0] in 2050) and south Asia (31·7% [29·2–34·1] to 15·5% [13·7–17·5]). …”

Locations of Temporary Distribution Facilities for Emergency Response Planning by Pradhananga, Rojee

“…In such a case, distribution of resources through a number of temporary facilities, located near the demand centers can significantly improve the distribution process thereby decreasing the supply response time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a network flow model for emergency response planning which provides location and allocation plans of temporary distribution facilities for short distribution periods in the planning horizon. …”

Synthesis of silica supported ni and cu catalyst for carbon dioxide methanation reaction by Aheed, Ahmed

“…In addition, the used catalysts after the reaction were characterized using similar techniques to evaluate the effect of reaction conditions on active phase and SiO2 support. The 1%Ni on SiO2 catalyst shows good activity for CO2 conversion to CH4 till 450ºC, thereafter CH4 formation decreased and CO increased and remains the only product at 650ºC. …”
