Mortality risk from United States coal electricity generation

Policy-makers seeking to limit the impact of coal electricity-generating units (EGUs, also known as power plants) on air quality and climate justify regulations by quantifying the health burden attributable to exposure from these sources. We defined “coal PM2.5” as fine particulate matter associated with coal EGU sulfur dioxide emissions and...

Comparisons of simple and complex methods for quantifying exposure to individual point source air pollution emissions

Expanded use of reduced complexity approaches in epidemiology and environmental justice investigations motivates detailed evaluation of these modeling approaches. Chemical transport models (CTMs) remain the most complete representation of atmospheric processes but are limited in applications that require large numbers of runs, such as those that...

Limited added value of magnetic resonance imaging after dynamic transvaginal ultrasound for preoperative staging of endometriosis in daily practice: A prospective cohort study

OBJECTIVES: To assess the added value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after dynamic transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) in the diagnostic pathway for preoperative staging of pelvic endometriosis. METHODS: A prospective observational study was conducted between April 22, 2014, and May 1, 2015. During that period, 363 patients with a clinical...

De Corazone: Denken over gebiedsontwikkeling en transitiemanagement in de zone Rotterdam-Antwerpen

Dit rapport koppelt gebiedsontwikkeling – hét kernbegrip uit de ruimtelijke ordening van dit moment in Nederland - aan transitiesturing. Het doet dat aan de hand van een voorbeeld, de corridor Rotterdam-Antwerpen, ofwel de Corazone. De auteurs willen ermee de herontwikkeling naar duurzame systemen laten doorklinken in ons denken over ruimtelijke...
