Background: Development assistance for health (DAH) has been considerably affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, underscoring the importance of clarifying how donor countries select recipient countries and how DAH is distributed. We investigated DAH allocation according to disease burden and whether...

Latent heat storage based on phase-changing materials (PCMs) is a promising technology for thermal energy storage because of its large heating enthalpy and isothermal phase-transition temperature. However, the practical applications of PCMs is highly restricted because of their intrinsically low...

Safety interventions (e.g. median barriers, photo enforcement) and road features (e.g. median type and width) can influence crash severities, crash frequencies, or both. Both dimensions—crash frequency and crash severity—are needed to obtain a full accounting of road safety....

Facing a series of food-related accidents, consumers worldwide have become more concerned with the safety of the food they consume. The Food Traceability System has been introduced in many countries to reduce the uncertainties originating in the food purchasing process by providing information...
