Dispersion modeling of particulate matter from the in-situ burning of spilled oil in the northwest Arctic area of Canada

Author(s): Wang Z; An C; Lee K; Owens E; Boufadel M; Feng Q;

In-situ burning can be used to prevent oil spreading in oil spill response. In this study, a steady-state Gaussian plume model was applied to analyze the concentration distribution of fine particulate matter produced by in-situ burning, as well as to assess the health risks associated with different combustion methods and ambient conditions, in reference ...

Group sample sizes in nonregulated health care intervention trials described as randomized controlled trials were overly similar

Author(s): Thombs BD; Levis AW; Azar M; Saadat N; Riehm KE; Sanchez TA; Chiovitti MJ; Rice DB; Levis B; Fedoruk C; Lyubenova A; Malo Vázquez de Lara AL; Kloda LA; Benedetti A; Shrier I; Platt RW; Kimmelman J;

Objectives: We evaluated whether sample sizes in different arms of two-arm parallel group randomized controlled trials of nonregulated interventions were systematically closer in size than would plausibly occur by chance if simple randomization had been applied. Study design and setting: We sear ...
