Using satellite radar interferometry observations of Greenland, we detected widespread glacier acceleration below 66 degrees north between 1996 and 2000, which rapidly expanded to 70 degrees north in 2005. Accelerated ice discharge in the west and particularly in the east doubled the ice sheet mass deficit in the last decade from 90 to 220 cubic kilometers per year. As more glaciers accelerate ...

Immunization is aimed at the prevention of infectious diseases. In Nigeria, the National Programme on Immunization (NPI) suffers recurrent setbacks due to many factors including ethnicity and religious beliefs. Nigeria is made up of 36 states with its federal capital in Abuja. The country is divided into six geo-political zones; north central, north west, north east, south east, south west and ...

A hindcast current modelling system for the North West Approaches is described. The model system is a regional high resolution version of the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) for the Faroe-Shetland Channel, the Faroes and the UK shelf north of Scotland. The regional model receives realistic boundary conditions from larger scale models and is currently being operated in a 2.5 years hindcast...

BACKGROUND Child undernutrition showed geographical inequalities due to variations in contextual determinants from area to area which indicates that location is an important factor in child undernutrition. However, there are limited studies on spatial epidemiology of child undernutrition in Ethiopia. This study was aimed to identify the SaTScan spatial clusters of child undernutrition in Ethiop...

An analysis of 1982-Koro Epidemic in North Bengal region (West Bengal State) is done. Post-epidemic Koro incidence in this region, up to a period of three years, is also reported. Analysis reveals that North Bengal Koro epidemic was comparatively of longer duration with definite characteristic epidemic typology.
