As my colleague Ian Fisher reported in 2005, Cardinal Scola — who was considered a top Italian candidate to become pope during the previous election — started an Arabic-language magazine, Oasis, that was devoted to improving contacts and dialogue between Christians and Muslims.
This could be achieved through active case detection efforts, improved contact tracing, and a lower clinical threshold for considering TB, especially targeted at apparent geographical hotspots or at-risk communities.
For sandy soils prone to P leaching, appropriate application of fertiliser and improved contact between fertiliser and the soil may be one of the few effective ways to reduce SRP losses.
Other interventions with potential impact on the occurrence of TB specifically among immigrant children, are improved contact investigation practices and screening and preventive treatment for LTBI on entry screening.
Furthermore, profit from the significantly electrolyte retention and improved contact between EW-GPE and the rice husk based activated carbon electrodes, the resulting green solid-state supercapacitor exhibits high flexibility, good electrochemical properties (i.e., high specific capacitance of 214.3 F g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 and 204.4 F g−1 at 1 A g−1) and stable cycle performance.
Nebulized spray deposited electrochromic oxide thin films have shown better performance in electrochromic application due to the formation of finer particles on the substrate surface and improved contact between the substrate surface and film.
In summary, this paper should be considered as a step along the pathway towards our long term goal of introducing novel and improved contact models.
While the feeling of urgency to respond to the Ebola threat continues to decrease, improved contact tracing, connected mobile diagnostics and crisis protocol for telecommunications should remain priorities.
This characteristic is helpful to improve contact resistance and insertion loss of the switch.
Many experimental studies have concluded that surface texture can help improve contact characteristics and reduce the frictional forces between surfaces.
