MeSH headings : Adult; Animal Husbandry; Animals; Child, Preschool; Cross-Sectional Studies; Diarrhea / epidemiology; Diarrhea / etiology; Housing; Humans; Infant; Linear Models; Ownership; Poultry; Prevalence; Respiratory Tract Infections / epidemiology; Respiratory Tract Infections / etiology; Risk Factors; Rural Population; Uganda / epidemiology
TL;DR:
Assessment of health outcomes in children aged < 5 years associated with animal presence among 793 rural households in Uganda found that barring chickens from indoor living quarters and sanitary disposal of chicken and other animal feces can reduce childhood zoonotic infections.

Uncertainty Quantification of Simplified Viscoelastic Continuum Damage Fatigue Model using the Bayesian Inference-Based Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method
TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD, 2674(4), 247–260.
Contributors: J. Ding n, Y. Wang n, S. Gulzar n , Y. Kim n & B. Underwood n
TL;DR:
The parameters in the dynamic modulus and damage characterization model have relatively strong correlation which indicates the necessity of Bayesian techniques and the uncertainty of the damage characteristic curve for a single specimen propagated from parameter uncertainties of theynamic modulus model is negligible compared to the difference in the replicates.

An Assessment of the Dynamic Global Warming Impact Associated with Long-Term Emissions from Landfills
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 54(3), 1304–1313.
MeSH headings : Carbon Dioxide; Global Warming; Greenhouse Effect; Greenhouse Gases; Methane; Solid Waste; Waste Disposal Facilities
TL;DR:
A life-cycle model was developed to estimate GHG emissions for three gas treatment cases (passive venting, flare, CH4 conversion to electricity) and four decay rates and shows that when comparing single-point GWP values, the choice of static versus dynamic is relatively unimportant for most landfills.
