THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SAFER DRUG CONSUMPTION FACILITIES IN SCOTLAND: A MIXED METHODS NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE CITY OF EDINBURGH

Abstract Background Scotland currently has amongst the highest rates of drug-related deaths in Europe, leading to increased advocacy for safer drug consumption facilities (SDCFs) to be piloted in the country.In response to concerns about drug-related harms in Edinburgh, elected officials have considered introducing SDCFs in the city.This paper pres

Viruses infecting prokaryotic cells (phages) are the most abundant entities of the biosphere and contain a Gift Cards largely uncharted wealth of genomic diversity.They play a critical role in the biology of their hosts and in ecosystem functioning at large.The classical approaches studying phages require isolation from a pure culture of the host.D

The relevance of the work is justified by the Ball - Baseballs need to improve the operational reliability of stator windings of induction motors, installed in the main drive of elevators in residential buildings.Their failures are expensive to fix and entail long-term downtime.The main aim of the work is to estimate the reliability of stator windi

A multi-step derivative-free iterative technique is developed by extending the well-known Traub-Steffensen iteration for solving the systems of nonlinear equations.Keeping in mind the computational aspects, the general idea to construct the scheme is to utilize the single inverse operator per iteration.In fact, these type of techniques are hardly f

Energy crops are not easily converted by microorganisms because of their recalcitrance.This necessitates a pretreatment to improve their biodigestibility.The effects of different pretreatments, as well as their combination on the enzymatic digestibility of Arundo donax L.were systematically investigated to evaluate its potential for bioconversion.D
