Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has recently gained a wide acceptance in the archaeological community as a method that can quickly and accurately locate buried archaeological features, artifacts, and important cultural strata in the near-surface. The GPR method has been especially effective in certain sediments and soils between about 20 cm and 5 m below the ground surface, where the targets to ...

The Mayoon landslide in the Hunza District is a slowly developed, non-catastrophic that has gained its importance last few years after rapid activation and fast slip rate. area characterized by high earthquake hazards (zone 3 with peak ground acceleration value of 2.4–3.2 m/s2) Building Code Pakistan due to frequent earth quakes. past activity displaced foliated rocks towards south responsible ...

During its development years, geophysical survey has served field archaeology by defining possible sites underground, prior to excavation or preservation. Now we can see the art taking off as a research method in its own right. After summarising some recent research applications of magnetic mapping, the author gives us three case studies from USA and Jordan, where groundpenetrating radar (GPR) ...

Adiponectin and intracellular 5'adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) are important modulators of glucose and fat metabolism. Cinnamon exerts beneficial effects by improving insulin sensitivity and blood lipids, e.g., through increasing adiponectin concentrations and AMPK activation. The underlying mechanism is unknown. The Gi/Go-protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 109A stimulates ...

This study presents a technique for processing Step-frequency continuous wave (SFCW) ground penetrating radar (GPR) data to detect tree roots. SFCW GPR is portable and enables precise control of energy levels, balancing depth resolution trade-offs. However, the high-frequency components transmission band suffers from poor capability generates noise that interferes with root detection. The propo...

BACKGROUND In the Global postural re-education (GPR) evaluation, posture alterations are associated with anterior or posterior muscular chain impairments. Our goal was to assess the reliability of the GPR muscular chain evaluation. METHODS DESIGN Inter-rater reliability study. Fifty physical therapists (PTs) and two experts trained in GPR assessed the standing posture from photographs of f...

BACKGROUND All hospitals in Norway are required to participate in the Norwegian Surveillance System for Hospital-Acquired Infections (NOIS). Hospitals can choose to have from one to five given surgical procedures under surveillance, caesarean section being one of them. This article describes the incidence of surgical site infections after caesarean sections and identifies causes for such infect...
