Towards the malaria end game : economics and financing of malaria elimination
No full textIn the past fifteen years, the world has made substantial progress towards reducing malaria mortality and morbidity. Malaria incidence and deaths have declined by more than half in some cases. However, external funding has declined particularly for malaria eliminating countries, which are low burden and middle income. Failure to maintain resources for malaria elimination has the potential to reverse the gains made. The aim of PhD was to examine the economic evidence for malaria elimination and generate results relevant to policy for continued investment for malaria elimination. Specifically, the PhD estimated the costs for elimination and prevention of re-introduction and developed national and regional investment cases in Sri Lanka and the Asia Pacific region. It tracked and interpreted trends in development assistance and government financing and assessed the implications of changing financing policies on malaria elimination targets. This body of work provides strong evidence on the uncertainty about the future availability of financing for malaria elimination. It also demonstrates that malaria elimination is a worthwhile investment providing robust health and economic returns at the national and regional level. A concerted effort is needed to use the generated evidence to build an advocacy strategy to ensure that financing for malaria elimination is maintained until the end game. Anything less will undermine decades of investment and the unprecedented gains achieved towards achieving a global public good - a world free of malaria

Reliability-based analaysis [sic] of crack control in reinforced concrete beams
No full textThis thesis is a study on reliability-based analysis of reinforced concrete beams at the crack control limit state. Past approaches to crack control and crack widths predictions in various codes are discussed. The limit state considered in this study is the maximum flexural crack width of reinforced concrete structures. Reliability index, β, is calculated to assess the level of safety in the ACI 318-08 Building Code. Resistance prediction equations for the flexural crack control limit state as well as load equations are researched and developed in terms of the stress in the reinforcing steel. Statistical properties of variables are obtained from available literature. The effects of several parameters on the reliability index are also studied. The equation by Frosch (1999) provided the most accurate crack width predictions for various beam data obtained and is used as the resistance model in the limit state function. The live load model used is based on statistical information provided in the study by Nowak et. al (2008) which was also used in the calibration of the ACI318-08 building code. Monte Carlo simulation is performed using statistical parameters obtained for each variable. A total of 1290 beams are designed using the ACI 318-08 Building Code and included in a detailed parametric study. It is concluded that the spacing of steel reinforcement and the concrete cover had the most significant effects on the reliability of crack width predictions. When spacing of reinforcement and concrete cover are increased, the reliability index decreases. However, increasing beam effective depth and area of reinforcement did not significantly increase the reliability index. Additionally, using a larger number of bars with smaller diameters yields higher reliability indices than using a small number of bars with larger diameters. Furthermore, an overall trend was observed that as steel yield strength increases and concrete strength decreases, the reliability index decreases. This study can be considered as a prelude to a future code calibration process of the ACI 318-08 Building Code at the serviceability limit state of crack control.M.S.Includes abstractIncludes bibliographical referencesby Rima Zahala
