Calabria: sun, sand, and cell death

Medical tourism: Sea, sun, sand and y surgery

Medical tourism, where patients travel overseas for operations, has grown rapidly in the past decade, especially for cosmetic surgery. High costs and long waiting lists at home, new technology and skills in destination countries alongside reduced transport costs and Internet marketing have all played a role. Several Asian countries are dominant, but most countries have sought to enter the marke...

Central Calabria

Conventional methods used to detect slope instability and map geomorphologic processes, especially in mountain areas, can benefit from remote sensing analyses, e.g. optical and radar satellite data. We illustrate the contribution of Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) analyses and photo-interpretation for the updating of pre-existing landslide inventory maps in mountain areas, through the...

Beach week: a high school graduation rite of passage for sun, sand, suds, and sex.

BACKGROUND Every year, thousands of suburban high school graduates from mid Atlantic states flock to nearby coastal beaches for a long-anticipated rite of passage known as "beach week." Sand, sun, and sea, and also smoking, binge drinking, drugs, and sex, are reported to be dominant themes. OBJECTIVE To document risk-taking behaviors by girls during beach week. METHOD Fifty-nine female subu...

Quiet Sun Brightenings -cell and Network Behaviour

Observations of the quiet Sun are made with the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer on board the SOHO spacecraft. We have investigated the diierences in characteristics of the cell and network regions. It has been found that the powerlaw distribution of energy (f(E) = f o E ?) is diierent in the cell and network regions, with the cell region having higher values of. This result is found irrespectiv...
