The maln task of modern medicine is preservation of the heal ih of a man. This problem seems to be the most pressing lD territories of this country, influencing the organism when natural are quit.e exploring of northern and climatic factors different from the previous ones. When arriving at the new natural and climatic zone lhe organism of a man starts adapting to the new living conditions, And...

Information technology is facilitating the implementation of a variety of different types of remote work arrangements (RWA), such as telecommuting, satellite offices, and virtual offices. While organizations are increasing their use of these new work arrangements, there has been no research on how the decision is made to adopt a particular type of work arrangement. In this study, we investigate...

Locusta migratoria tibetensis Chen (Orthoptera: Acrididae) is one of the most harmful species of Acrididae. It causes extensive damage to gramineous crops. The climate mapping program, CLIMEX 3.0, and the GIS software, ArcGIS 9.3, were used to model the current and future potential geographical distribution of L. m. tibetensis. The model predicts that, under current climatic conditions, L. m. t...

We present a study of the vertically integrated deviatoric stress field for the Indian plate and the Tibetan Plateau associated with gravitational potential energy (GPE) differences. Although the driving forces for the Indian plate have been attributed solely to the mid-oceanic ridges that surround the entire southern boundary of the plate, previous estimates of vertically integrated stress mag...

Takes Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as a research field, this paper based on the models and algorithms, completes the numerical information extraction of periglacial geomorphology distribution by using SRTM-DEM and annual mean temperature data. Based on the extracted results and remote sensing images, the periglacial geomorphology distribution in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is achieved by visual interpretati...

The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is a key project during China's Tenth Five-Year Plan period. It will be the longest and most elevated railroad built on highlands in the world. The construction and transport conditions are so complicated, such as permafrost, bitter coldness, lack of oxygen and ecological fragility. Therefore advanced technical measures and methods have been used during the constructio...

Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are promising disease biomarkers. However, the influence of high-altitude hypoxic environments on plasma miRNA profiles remains unknown. This study included a total of 509 plasma samples from 278 native Tibetans and 80 newly arrived migrant Han Chinese (Tibet Han) residing at 3560 m and 151 Han Chinese residing at 8.9 m (Nanjing Han). The levels of 754 miRNAs were...

Thermochronologic, sedimentologic, oceanographic, and paleoclimatic studies suggest that rapid uplift and unroofing of southern Tibet began about 20 million years ago and that the present elevation of much of the Tibetan plateau was attained by about 8 million years ago. Hypotheses advanced to explain the tectonic evolution of the India-Asia collision, which began about 40 to 50 million years a...

The Tibet chicken lives in high altitude and has adapted itself well to hypoxia. The Silky chicken is a lowland chicken from Jiangxi province of China. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether there were any differences in brain mitochondrial respiratory function between Tibet chicken and Silky chicken embryos incubated in a normoxic (21% oxygen concentration) or simulated ...

BACKGROUND Public health officials of the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) of China requested a survey of blindness, eye diseases, and eye care service utilisation to assist the development of a 10 year blindness prevention and treatment plan. The objective of the survey was to determine the prevalence of blindness and visual impairment, as well as cataract surgical coverage and surgical outcome i...
