Kansas River Valley Experiment Field Introduction

Coincident GPR and ultra-shallow seismic imaging in the Arkansas River Valley, Great Bend, Kansas

The primary objective of the work-in-progress reported here is to compare near-surface imaging results using ultra-shallow (upper 3 m) seismic-reflection techniques and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) at an alluvial site near Great Bend, Kansas. Although various seismic and GPR surveys have been used for near-surface imaging, little i s known about how the two techniques might work in concert fo...

An Introduction to Natural Experiment Studies

در دو سخن سردبیری شماره‌های قبل به مطالعات مداخله‌ای (Interventional and/or experimental studies) [1] و مطالعات نیمه تجربی (studies Quasi-experiment) [2] پرداختیم. همان جا، به این نکته اشاره کردیم که برای اندازه‌گیری کارآیی یک دارو، واکسن، برنامه بهداشت عمومی و متغیرهای دیگری از این دست، مطالعات مداخله‌ای بهترین گزینه هستند. تقسیم تصادفی و کورسازی از مؤلفه‌های اساسی یک مطالعه مداخله‌ای است [1]....

Preceramic occupations in the orinoco river valley.

Two sites in the Orinoco Valley containing preceramic from excavated contexts are described. Radiocarbon dating and stylistic comparisons indicate that the northern tropical lowlands were inhabited at the onset of the Holocene, suggesting a time depth of 9000 years before the present for tropical forest-savanna adaptations in northern South America.

Seventh Annual Red River Valley Statistical Conference

Lyme Borreliosis, Po River Valley, Italy

We aimed to determine the presence of Ixodes ricinusticks in heavily populated areas of the Po River Valley after report of a Lyme disease case. Eighteen percent of ticks examined from 3 locations were positive for Lyme disease borreliae. Lyme disease was diagnosed for 3 workers at risk for tick bite.
