The online survey explored public opinions on potential target groups for a PrEP demonstration study in Nigeria, reasons for the choices, potential positive outcomes of PrEP, barriers and challenges to PrEP access, and means to address these challenges.
The model identifies for the demonstration study locations and pumping rates for up to four new wells and one new well in the cost minimization and maximization problem, respectively.
In an exploratory demonstration study, non-dimensional sets of performance curves are calculated for the regional Akrotiri aquifer.
Considering all solutions of the demonstration study, groundwater vulnerability indices for new well locations range from 29.64 to 40.48 (on a scale of 0 100, where 100 indicates high vulnerability).
However, recruiting male and female sex workers for the proposed PrEP demonstration study may prove challenging owing to poor retention caused by their high mobility.
(Telephone interview respondent) Of 111 total IDI participants, 106 suggested specific populations; the majority of respondents (56%) recommended serodiscordant couples as the target population for the proposed PrEP demonstration study.
More importantly and especially noteworthy for future demonstration studies of NAATs in sputum smear-negative populations, the lower sensitivity we observed could be explained by the higher sensitivity of sputum smear microscopy (33% in the previous study vs. 66% in our study) and mycobacterial culture (71% in the previous study vs. 94% in our study) used to define the eligible population [26].
HXMT was selected in 2000 as a project under the Major State Basic Research Program of China for its feasibility and technical demonstration study, and in October 2005 was entered the full design phase and listed as a candidate for the first dedicated astronomy satellite launched around 2010.
According to Tinkle, feasibility discussions exposed the need for demonstration studies that layer remote-sensing data over existing ground-based pollution data sets.
While numerous studies have investigated model performance at finer resolution (4 5 km), there is relatively limited information available for choosing the optimum grid resolution for predicting future air quality in attainment demonstration studies.
Design: Demonstration study.
