Wildfire Frequency-Area Statistics in Spain

anophelism in a former malaria area of northeastern spain.

b a ckground: a field study on diversity and distribution of anophelines currently present in a past endemic malaria area of spain was carried out in order to identify possible risk areas of local disease transmission. m e t hods: multiple larval sites were sampled from june to october of 2011 in the region of somontano de barbastro (northeastern spain). the sampling effort was fixed at 10 minu...

An inverse cascade explanation for the power-law frequency-area statistics of earthquakes, landslides and wildfires

Frequency-magnitude statistics for natural hazards can greatly help in probabilistic hazard assessments. An example is the case of earthquakes, where the generality of a power-law (fractal) frequency-rupture area correlation is a major feature in seismic risk mapping. Other examples of this power-law frequency-size behaviour are landslides and wildfires. In previous studies, authors have made t...

Anophelism in a Former Malaria Area of Northeastern Spain

BACKGROUND A field study on diversity and distribution of anophelines currently present in a past endemic malaria area of Spain was carried out in order to identify possible risk areas of local disease transmission. METHODS Multiple larval sites were sampled from June to October of 2011 in the Region of Somontano de Barbastro (Northeastern Spain). The sampling effort was fixed at 10 minutes w...

[Neonatology, the first specific training area of paediatrics in Spain].

In August 2014 the Boletín Oficial del Estado (Spanish Official State Gazette) published Royal Decree 639/2014, of 25 July, regulating core training, respecialisation in core areas and specific training areas (known as ‘‘subspecialities’’ in Europe). Paediatrics retains its own training, separate from other core areas. A specific training area (ACE in Spanish) has been created in Neonatology, a...
