Incorporation of Medical Research and Education in Asia Pacific Region
The goal of medicine is to prevent harm as Hippocrates pointed out; “primum non nocere; first do no harm”. Has this fact been taken into account in developing Medical Education curricula in Asia? Frequency of diseases in Asia is different from high income countries (1, 2) and funds for research are lacking. It is therefore important to allocate available funds to the most applicable issues to...
متن کاملEstimation of Runup Heights of the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami Based on Numerical Simulations
A strong earthquake (M9.0) occurred at 14 h 46 m (JST) on March 11, 2011 in the Pacific Ocean east of the Tohoku district in the northeast part of Honshu Island, Japan. The earthquake was accompanied by a large tsunami. The main goal of this study is to use numerical modelling to reproduce the observed characteristics of the 2011 tsunami. First, the water elevation records of DART buoys, coasta...
متن کاملTemporal changes of site response during the 2011 Mw 9.0 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake
The recent Mw 9.0 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake and its aftershocks generated widespread strong shakings as large as ∼3000 Gal along the east coast of Japan. Here we systematically analyze temporal changes of material properties and nonlinear site response in the shallow crust associated with the Tohoku main shock, using seismic data recorded by the Japanese Strong Motion Network K...
متن کاملShip Observations of the Tropical Pacific Ocean along the Coast of South America
In October 2007 the NOAA ship Ronald H. Brown sailed southward within 300 km of the coast of Ecuador and Peru, sampling surface meteorology, air–sea turbulent and radiative fluxes, cloud properties, and upper-air soundings from the equator to 208S. Two distinct water masses characterize the coastal region: cold-pool water below 198C in the Southern Hemisphere, and warm-pool water above 208C to ...
متن کاملThe distribution of littoral caprellids (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Caprellidea) along the Pacific coast of continental Chile
Many littoral caprellid species have a very ample distribution, some having been reported from all over the world. The cosmopolitan distribution of many littoral caprellid species might be facilitated by the fact that they are often associated with fouling communities on floating objects, which have a high potential of far-range dispersal. This dispersal potential may also have implications for...
