Zusammenfassung Medizinische Ersthelfer adäquat und realitätsnahe zu trainieren, ist eine Herausforderung. Realistische Umgebungen, die Übungszwecken gesperrt werden können, sind rar gesät oftmals aufgrund von Budget zeitlichen Einschränkungen selten genutzt. Das Zentrum am Berg (ZaB) der Montanuniversität Leoben, Österreich, hat hierzu bereits 2019 Lösungsansätze entwickelt, das Training Blaul...

AIMS To examine the potential impact of climate variability on the transmission of Ross River virus (RRv) infection, and to assess the difference in the potential predictors of RRv incidence in coastline and inland regions, Queensland, Australia. METHODS Information on the RRv cases notified between 1985 to 1996 was obtained from the Queensland Department of Health. Climate and population dat...

Gauging the discharge of theTigris River in Baiji is very important, as it reflects final accumulated flows from Mosul Dam, upper and lower Zab tributaries, which send downstream to control system Samarra. The current study aimed evaluate performance gauging station for measuring water levels discharge, thus suggest alternative locations. Large disagreement was found between manually measured t...

Atmospheric deposition of polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) was investigated at 11 sites in Dongjiang River basin of Guangdong Province during the winter (January and February) and summer (July and August) of 2010 to assess the effect of PCNs on those areas. The average daily deposition fluxes of total PCNs was 828 pg x (m2 x d)(-1), and the corresponding TEQ was 0.14 pg x (m2 x d)(-1). Based...

The October 1998 flood on the upper Guadalupe River system was produced by a 24-hour precipitation amount of 483 mm at one station, over 380 mm at several other stations, and up to 590 mm over five days, precipitation amounts greater than the 100-year storm as prescribed in Weather Bureau Technical Papers 40 (1961) and 49 (1964). This study uses slope-area discharge estimates and published disc...

Active replication is commonly built on top of the atomic broadcast primitive. Passive replication, which has been recently used in the popular ZooKeeper coordination system, can be naturally built on top of the primaryorder atomic broadcast primitive. Passive replication differs from active replication in that it requires processes to cross a barrier before they become primaries and start broa...
