متن کاملGIS as a Tool for Assessing Volcanic Hazards, Vulnerability, and at Risk Areas of the Three Sisters Volcanic Region, Oregon
Active volcanoes give significant threats to the populations that live in their proximity. The Three Sisters Volcanic region is one of 9 threatening volcanoes within the Cascades volcanic arc. Eruptions are probable which makes it essential to complete hazard, vulnerability, and risk assessments so that proper planning, education and mitigation procedures can be implemented prior to the threat ...
متن کاملForecasting volcanic eruptions
Forecasting is a central goal of volcanology. Intensive monitoring of recent eruptions has generated integrated timeseries of data, which have resulted in several successful examples of warnings being issued on impending eruptions. Ability to forecast is being advanced by new technology, such as broad-band seismology, satellite observations of ground deformation and improved field spectrometers...
متن کاملHelical Tomotherapy for Inoperable Breast Cancer: A New Promising Tool
BACKGROUND We investigated the feasibility of helical tomotherapy (HT) for inoperable large breast tumors, after failing to achieve adequate treatment planning with conformal radiation techniques. MATERIAL AND METHODS Five consecutive patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) were treated by preoperative HT. All patients received up-front chemotherapy before HT. Irradiated volumes i...
متن کاملThe respiratory health hazards of volcanic ash: a review for volcanic risk mitigation
Studies of the respiratory health effects of different types of volcanic ash have been undertaken only in the last 40 years, and mostly since the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980. This review of all published clinical, epidemiological and toxicological studies, and other work known to the authors up to and including 2005, highlights the sparseness of studies on acute health effects after erup...
