Since the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, engineering has been employed as the means for fighting the pandemic. This has in great dimensions transformed the world technologically and innovatively. If the employment of Engineering can stand out to be the best approach to tackling the pandemic, let us imagine the world after covid-19 ( post-covid world).

1 Background & Aims: Evidence on the association between physical activity and risk of 2 hepatobiliary cancers is inconclusive. We examined this association in the European Prospective 3 Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort (EPIC). 4 Methods: We identified 275 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases, 93 intrahepatic bile duct 5 cancers (IHBC), and 164 non-gallbladder extrahepatic bile duct cancers (NGBC) among 467,336 6 EPIC participants (median follow-up 14.9 years). We estimated cause-specific hazard ratios 7 (HRs) for total physical activity and vigorous physical activity, performed mediation analysis, and 8 secondary analyses to assess robustness to confounding (e.g., due to hepatitis virus infection). 9 Results: In the EPIC cohort, the multivariable-adjusted HR of HCC was 0.55 (95% confidence 10 intervals (CI) 0.38-0.80) comparing active and inactive individuals. Regarding vigorous physical 11 activity, for those reporting >2 hours/week compared to those with no vigor...

The history and the physical, radiographic, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic, haemo-dynamic and angiocardiographic findings from 18 cats with idiopathic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are described. These data document a diverse spectrum of clinical manifestations of this disease in cats. The variety and complexity of feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy complicate the diagnosis and challenge the idea that this disorder is a single disease entity.

In this research the focus is developing a specific approach for specifying rounded hill diffraction geometry from elevation profile data and then using the geometry to find the requisite parameters for computing the diffraction due to the rounded hill obstruction. Next, the requisite parameters are employed in five different methods for computing diffraction loss over isolated rounded hill and the corresponding diffraction loss values will be compared. Eventually, the procedure for computing each of the parameters for the diffraction due to the rounded hill obstruction will be presented. Particularly, the analysis and procedure will be considered for i.
