Increasing Si concentrations in the EuCu2 (Ge1−xSix )2 series tunes the divalent Eu antiferromagnetic (AF) compound EuCu2Ge2 (TN = 14 K) to a nonmagnetic intermediate valence (IV) system EuCu2Si2. There is a collapse of the magnetic state and heavy quasiparticles occur at x ∼ 0.7…
Pressurizing strategically selected compositions of the EuCu2(Ge1−xSix )2 series affords an opportunity for gaining microscopic insight into the ground-state properties and interplay between magnetism and valence fluctuations across a quantum critical point. This is investigated…
Abstract: Currently the most common chronic liver condition, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major global health concern. Despite its rising global incidence, epidemiological data regarding NAFLD prevalence in Libya remain scarce. This cross-sectional study aimed t…
Viral hepatitis is a global health care challenge due to its worldwide distribution, chronic persistence, complications, and high prevalence with unchecked conditions in areas like sub-Saharan Africa. A high proportion of asymptomatic infections allows serious complications and p…
Background
Viral hepatitis has become a universally established health care challenge due to its worldwide distribution chronic persistence, complications, and high prevalence with unchecked conditions in areas like sub-Saharan Africa. A high proportion of asymptomatic infection…
Abstract. An Environmental Management System (EMS) was introduced to meet the environmental needs and an organization should have an understanding of what those environmental needs are. In a construction industry, the awareness about the environment performance is improving and t…
background
Hepatitis B and C virus infections are serious blood borne diseases with global health concern particularly in developing countries. The association between survey participant’s knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) about HBV and HCV infection is rarely studied, pa…
Background
Giardia and Cryptosporidium are common parasitic diarrhea agents of children contributing to childhood morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Major risk factors, based on the international literature, are expected to include domestic animals, fresh vegetable…
Pure EuC2, free of EuO impurities, was obtained by the reaction of elemental europium with graphite at 1673 K. By means of synchrotron powder diffraction experiments, the structural behavior was investigated in the temperature range from 10 to 1073 K. In contrast to former result…
This paper investigates householders’ attitudes to the recycling of solid wastes in one part of northern Malaysia, namely Alor Setar town, Kedah State. A postal questionnaire survey was administered to households in Alor Setar town in selected areas of high, middle and low income…
