[1] Recent (ScS-S) results from probing the deep structure beneath southern Africa display strong delays of up to 10 s at distances beyond 90 . Such delays could be explained by long-period tomographic models containing smooth (weak) features with the addition of rough (strong) D00 structure (3–9% drops in shear velocities). However, these structures cannot explain the (SKS-S) differentials sam...

BACKGROUND In recent years, patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have tended to experience a longer life expectancy and higher quality of life. In this context, the aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the demographic, clinical, and laboratory markers of patients with CF during the last two decades at a CF referral center. METHODS A retrospective study of the demographic, clinic...

We investigate long-period surface waves (T> 100 s) propagating across the Tibetan Plateau, based on the seismic records from a PASSCAL portable array and nearby Chinese Digital Seismic Network (CDSN) stations. Significant quasi-Love waveform anomalies, associated with fundamental Rayleigh-Love coupling, are consistently observed, suggesting that strong lateral gradients in azimuthal anisotropy...

Place de Finlande, Suomen Pariisin-suurlahetyston historia/Une histoire l’Ambassade Finlande en France, paru 2017 chez les editions SKS aborde un sujet meconnu : la diplomatie finlandaise France. Ce livre 274 pages fait partie par ailleurs d’une serie d’ouvrages sur ambassades finlandaises a l’etranger. Et etant donne qu’il s’agit d’un ouvrage le est bilingue. La premiere partie, finnois, « a p...

Received 30 January 2004; revised 14 May 2004; accepted 14 June 2004; published 13 August 2004. [1] Shear velocity properties of D00 beneath the central Atlantic Ocean are explored using predominantly European seismic recordings of intermediate and deep focus (>100 km) South American earthquakes. Broadband data are analyzed and, when possible, corrected for upper mantle models of receiver-side ...

Our study aimed to explore the unknowns regarding absolute and relative risks of future skin cancers in patients with actinic keratoses(AKs). We performed a retrospective cohort using de-identified, random sample 4,999,999 fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries aged ≥65 years (2009-2018). included treated AKs and, as comparator group, benign lesion seborrheic keratosis(SK). Both groups required...

Located in the northwestern United States, the Newberry Hotspot Track consists of a sequence of age-progressive silicic volcanic domes and lava flows, showing a monotonic age progression from east to west ending at the Newberry Caldera. While mantle plumes are often called upon to explain hotspot tracks, the Newberry track cannot be the direct product of plate motion over a stationary mantle so...

Abstract There has been a great deal of focus on the optimization tuyere arrangements in SKS bottom blown copper smelting furnaces since last decade, as improved furnace operation efficiency technology potential that cannot be ignored. New – x + 0 deg with 14 tuyeres are proposed this research paper. Using previously verified numerical model, CFD tests velocity distribution and wall shear stres...

Ideally, with the SKS system, students will be able to complete their studies at earliest within 7 (seven) semesters or 8 (eight) semesters. This is different from case Jinayah Siayah Study Program who mostly for more than and even up 14 What real cause of student being late in completing his studies? To get these answers, interviews were conducted class 2012, 2013 2014 studies. From results in...
