Abstract We investigate the characteristics of a dust-devil-like vortex (DDLV) observed using thermal image velocimetry (TIV) at sports ground in Tokyo. Thermal provides unique observations two-dimensional velocity distribution for DDLV with high spatio–temporal resolution (i.e., tens cm s ?1 ) near ground. Two DDLVs were detected, one each summer and winter, quantitative features larger, stron...

Winter sport destinations received increased attention from worldwide media due to their Covid-19 superspreader status. Using a critical discourse analysis (N = 1036) for the case of Ischgl, Austria this paper 1) identifies crisis-specific patterns, 2) analyzes embedding discourses in prevailing public debates and 3) discusses responsibility coverage.

Summary Pre-Olympic Games predictions commonly include an increase in population-based physical activity the host city, as often stated bid, but post-Olympic effects on have not been summarised. In this Series paper, we aim to do following: examine mentions of a legacy pre-Olympic bid documentation; analyse existing surveillance data collected before, during, and after Olympic hosting ...

BACKGROUND Because of their influence on insulin concentrations, we hypothesized that both physical activity and energy restriction may reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer. OBJECTIVE We examined the associations between physical activity, proxies for energy restriction, and pancreatic cancer risk. DESIGN The Netherlands Cohort Study consisted of 120,852 individuals who completed a baseline...

Abstract The main idea of this project was to create an access road for the tourists and also improve winter sports conditions, especially ski, in beautiful Parag Mountains.
