A towed streamer electromagnetic system capable of simultaneous seismic and electromagnetic data acquisition has recently been developed and tested in the North Sea. We introduce a 3D inversion methodology for towed streamer electromagnetic data that includes a moving sensitivity domain. Our implementation is based on the 3D integral equation method for computing responses and Fréchet derivativ...

Introduction: Chronic illnesses are a signifi cant burden to the health services in South Africa. There is a specifi c national health plan whereby chronically ill patients who are acceptably controlled should be managed at clinic level. The perception has emerged that the management of primary care has not been optimal in the Southern District of the North West Province. This provided the moti...

Genotype polymorphism studies at nine short tandem repeat (STR) loci (D3S1358, FGA, TH01, D7S820, VWA, CSF1PO, D5S818, D13S317, TPOX) were carried out in two Ethnic Groups (Tu, Sala) living in Qinhai, a North-West province of China. All loci were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P = 0.05).

The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence, antibiotic susceptibility profiles, and virulence genes determinants of S. aureus isolated from milk obtained from retail outlets of the North-West Province, South Africa. To achieve this, 200 samples of raw, bulk and pasteurised milk were obtained randomly from supermarkets, shops and some farms in the North-West Province between May 201...

Abstract China's west has long been framed as an undeveloped frontier, set apart by poverty and a resource-based economy. Since the 2000s, however, utility-scale renewable energy infrastructure expanded rapidly in western China, promising local economic benefits tied to national low-carbon transition. This paper contends that these have precarious unevenly distributed. I argue remade China “low...

The Loess Plateau (34°–40°N, 103°–114°E) is situated in the northern part of Central China (Fig. 2.1). It borders on North China Plain in the east, adjoins Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the west, stands in the north of Qinling Mountains, and neighbors Inner Mongolia Plateau in the north. The Loess Plateau is a part of the dryland region in northwest China, with its altitude in the range of 800–3000 ...

14,849 affected cases of beta thalassemia have been registered in 1995 in all provinces of iran. it is estimated that there are about three million carriers in iran. the provincial distributions of the affected cases show that the highest incidence in 100 thousand individuals was in mazandaran (71.29) and gilan (57.61), respectively, both near the caspian sea (north), followed by hormozgan (50....

AIM To correct the misclassification in registered gastric cancer incidence across Iranian provinces in cancer registry data. METHODS Gastric cancer data is extracted from Iranian annual of national cancer registration report 2008. A Bayesian method with beta prior is implemented to estimate the rate of misclassification in registering patient's permanent residence in neighboring province. Ea...

OBJECTIVE(S) Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-1 is an oncornavirus that causes adult T cell leukemia (ATL) HTLV-I-associated myelopathy⁄tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Golestan province is located in North West of Khorasan province known as an endemic area for HTLV-I in Iran. This study aimed to evaluate seroprevalence of HTLV-I in Golestan province. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this ...
