We describe a series of models which illustrate the controls upon the evolution of an erupting mixture of ash and gas during an explosive volcanic eruption.For large eruption rates, material typically issues from a crater as a supersonic jet which may entrain and heat sufficient air to become buoyant and form a Plinian eruption column.If a buoyant
The design and statistical aspects of VIETNARMS: a strategic post-licensing trial of multiple oral direct-acting antiviral hepatitis C treatment strategies in Vietnam
Abstract Background Eliminating hepatitis C is hampered Wine Cabinet by the costs of direct-acting antiviral treatment and the need to treat hard-to-reach populations.Access could be widened by shortening or simplifying treatment, but limited research means it is unclear which approaches could achieve sufficiently high cure rates to be acceptable.W
Public health and medical preparedness for mass casualties from the deliberate release of synthetic opioids
The large amounts of opioids and the emergence of increasingly potent illicitly manufactured synthetic opioids circulating in the unregulated drug supply in North America and Europe are fueling not only the ongoing public health crisis of overdose deaths but also raise the risk of another type of disaster: deliberate opioid release with the intenti
Selective Native Plants of Oklahoma and Nearby States That Can Be a Nuisance to Occasionally Invasive
Four ornamental species, lyreleaf salvia (Salvia lyrata), roughleaf dogwood (Cornus drummondii), northern sea oats (Chasmanthium latifolium), and cholla (Cylindropuntia imbricata), are all native to Oklahoma and nearby states.They all possess ornamental attributes and range from widespread to niche crops in the nursery industry and are also cultiva
Nutrition in Cancer: Evidence and Equality
Purpose: Poor nutrition is highly implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer and affects the survival of patients during and after completion of definitive therapies.Mechanistic evidence accumulated over the last century now firmly places dysregulated cellular energetics within the emerging hallmarks of cancer.Nutritional intervention studies often a
