Access to Tuberculosis testing among adolescents living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus in the Eastern Cape, South Africa: social factors and theoretical considerations by van Staden, Quintin

“…These factors were initially categorised using WHO's social determinants of health framework, which applies the Ecological Model. Thereafter, factors were filtered through the People Centred Model of TB care – to draw focus to the factors pertaining to the individual (both inter- and intrapersonal) rather than factors imbedded in health systems and services. …”

Wind plant annual energy production maximisation and efficiency improvement with considerations for thrust and turbulence intensity by Charles, Mfon Okokon

“…However, the resulting shorter turbine-to-turbine (T-2-T) distances advance increased wake interactions between turbines that increase turbulence intensities and consequently loads within the WP hence hampering its power and energy efficiency. …”
