eHealth Literacy is a crucial topic in regarding the acceptance of consumers towards eHealth services. There are several measurement methods, nevertheless they all lack interactive aspects of trending technologies such as mobile health apps or self-tracking services. Furthermore none of them acknowledges cultural and social backgrounds. Although the topic is of great importance it seems to be u...

Inversion of NASA Operation IceBridge airborne gravity over the Abbot Ice Shelf in West Antarctica for subice bathymetry defines an extensional terrain made up of east-west trending rift basins formed during the early stages of Antarctica/Zealandia rifting. Extension is minor, as rifting jumped north of Thurston Island early in the rifting process. The Amundsen Sea Embayment continental shelf w...

BACKGROUND Transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTDCO ) and calibrated pulse contour analysis (PCACO ) are alternatives to pulmonary artery thermodilution cardiac output (PATDCO ) measurement. HYPOTHESIS Ten mL of ice-cold thermal indicator (TI10 ) would improve the agreement and trending ability between TPTDCO and PATDCO compared to 5 mL of indicator (TI5 ) (Phase-1). The agreement and TA between...

Sedimentary rocks in Tibetan Plateau basins archive the spatiotemporal patterns of deformation, erosion, and associated climate change that resulted from Cenozoic continental collision. Despite growing understanding of basin development in northeastern Tibet during initial India-Asia collision, as well as in the late Miocene–Holocene, surprisingly little is known about the intervening period: a...

The geothermal potential of West Mesa has historically been assumed to be small because it is thought to be dominated by a left-stepping transpressional regime that is generally tight and not conducive to open fluid pathways. This may not be the complete picture, however. The 85 MWe Heber geothermal project appears to be located in a right stepover from the northwest trending seismogenic extens...

BACKGROUND Haemodynamic variations normally occur in anaesthetized animals, in relation to the animal status, administered drugs, sympathetic and parasympathetic tone, fluid therapy and surgical stimulus. The possibility to measure some cardiovascular parameters, such as cardiac output (CO), during anaesthesia would be beneficial for both the anaesthesia management and its outcome. New techniqu...

We present a study of the brittle tectonics Tunas Alkaline Complex focusing on kinematic and geometric analysis faults shear zones deforming complex. The data acquired respective interpretations sought to contribute post-Cretaceous tectonic structural models southern Brazil. ~83 Ma-old alkaline complex is made up syenites, alkali plutonic volcanic breccias, as well trachyte, microsyenite, bosto...

Global mantle convection significantly impacts the processes at Earth’s surface and has been used to gain insights on plate driving forces, lithospheric deformation, and the thermal and compositional structure of the mantle. Upper-mantle seismic anisotropy has been widely employed to study both present and past deformation processes at lithospheric and asthenospheric depths. The eastern China r...

Valine (C5H11NO2) is one of the most important amino acids in oilseed rape and has a close relationship with the influence of herbicide stress during growing stage. The traditional methods for amino acid detection were to use high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or amino acid analyzer. These methods were time consuming for preparation and detection, costly, laborious and not convenient...
