Is Life Expectancy Associated with Depression in the Elderly?
Introduction: Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders and risk factors for suicide in aging that often underdiagnosed and those who are more hopeful, suffer from less depression. The present study was conducted to determine the relationship between life expectancy and depression among older people in Yazd, Iran. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was con...
متن کاملINDUCED SEISMICITY. Seismicity triggered by fluid injection-induced aseismic slip.
Anthropogenic fluid injections are known to induce earthquakes. The mechanisms involved are poorly understood, and our ability to assess the seismic hazard associated with geothermal energy or unconventional hydrocarbon production remains limited. We directly measure fault slip and seismicity induced by fluid injection into a natural fault. We observe highly dilatant and slow [~4 micrometers pe...
متن کاملInduced seismicity associated with fluid injection into a deep well in Youngstown, Ohio
[1] Over 109 small earthquakes (Mw 0.4–3.9) were detected during January 2011 to February 2012 in the Youngstown, Ohio area, where there were no known earthquakes in the past. These shocks were close to a deep fluid injection well. The 14 month seismicity included six felt earthquakes and culminated with aMw 3.9 shock on 31 December 2011. Among the 109 shocks, 12 events greater than Mw 1.8 were...
متن کاملIs Induction of Anomalies in Lymphocytes of the Residents of High Background Radiation Areas Associated with Increased Cancer Risk?
Man has been exposed to different levels of natural background radiation since the creation of human life. There are inhabited areas around the world with extraordinary levels of natural background radiation. The level of natural radiation in these areas is up to two orders of magnitude higher than other places. Areas such as Yangjiang, China; Guarapari, Brazil; and Kerala, India are among the ...
متن کاملMid-Continent Earthquakes as a Complex System
Niels Bohr once observed: “How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.” This situation is happening in the long-frustrating effort to understand large earthquakes in continental interiors. The paradox arises from a series of GPS studies across the New Madrid seismic zone (NMSZ). Large (magnitude >7) earthquakes felt across the Midwest occurred here i...
