Resource-based cities (RBCs) in China are at a historic juncture in their transformative development.Observing and assessing the role of the resource curse in urban expansion and greening is crucial for the sustainable development of these cities.This study proposes a new framework to extract urban boundary data from 2000 to 2020 in China.Utilizing
An algorithm for doble difference joint hypocenter determination: application to the 2002 Molise (Central Italy) earthquake sequence
We have developed an original computer code for double difference hypocenter determination including an independent routine for the cross-correlation estimate of the time difference between two waveform segments, relative to different events recorded by the same stations.This computer code has been tested relocating a set of 26 events recorded by t
Survival-Weighted Health Profiles in Nasopharyngeal Cancer Patients
IntroductionIn treating nasopharyngeal Shampoos cancer (NPC) patients, excellent tumor control and patient survival rates can be achieved in the era of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).However, treatment-related toxicities affect the quality of life (QoL) of NPC survivors.This study was devised to estimate the life expectancy (LE), quality-a
Insertionally polymorphic sites of human endogenous retrovirus-K (HML-2) with long target site duplications
Abstract Background Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) belong to the LTR-retrotransposon family, where the complete HERV sequence contains two long terminal repeats (LTRs) located at each end.Intact LTRs possess highly conserved transcriptional promoter and enhancer sequences, so analyses of HERV insertional polymorphisms are expected to provide
Tribal rehabilitation and its impacts on land use changes, food security and sustainable livelihoods: a case study in South India
Millions of tribals live in forests or adjacent protected areas and their food security and livelihoods depend on Shampoos resources from the forests.Reportedly, about 40 to 60% of annual earnings of tribals, especially tribal women, is from collection and selling of forest produce.However, the idea of protecting biodiversity resulted in removal of
