Recent national cancer plans address high cancer mortality in Latin America, particularly in Andean countries. Little is known about which individual, interpersonal, and institutional facilitators and barriers persist, ...

This paper examines barriers and opportunities for climate change adaptation in an urban coastal setting where adaptation is in its infancy. It draws on a diagnostic framework as a foundation for identifying and organising ...

Purpose - The purpose of this research is to shed light on the main barriers faced by Mozambican micro and small enterprises (MSEs) and their implications in respect to the support policies available for these enterprises. ...

Background Chile, like many other countries, has seen major health reforms. It is now moving towards universal access using social protection strategies. It is essential at this point to have a clear view of the barriers ...

Chemoresistive properties of crystalline solids strongly depend on the concentration of stoichiometric defects. In the case of tin oxide, oxygen vacancies are a case in point of such kind of defects. We address the problem ...

It has been demonstrated that dielectric barrier actuators can be used to induce electrohydrodynamics flows in air as well as in gas. These actuators are often called surface non-thermal plasma actuators in gas applications. ...

The punctual character and random nature of the impurity positions in depletion regions lead to inhomogeneities that can significantly affect the potential intergranular barriers at polycrystalline semiconductors and, in ...
