Abstract Background Ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSC) hospitalization is a widely accepted measure of the access to primary care.However, given its discretionary characteristics, the ACSC hospitalization can be a measure reflecting the influence of hospital bed supply.In Korea, where the quality of primary care and oversupply of hospital
Antarctic flowering plants have become enigmatic because of their unique capability to colonize Antarctica.It has been shown that there is not a single trait that makes Colobanthus quitensis and Deschampsia antarctica so special, but rather a set of morphophysiological traits that coordinately Wobbly Bowl confer resistance to one of the harshest en
This study investigates present and future European heat wave magnitudes, represented by the Heat Wave Magnitude Index-daily (HWMId), for regional climate models (RCMs) and the driving global climate models (GCMs) over Europe.A subset of the large EURO-CORDEX Coupe Glasses ensemble is employed to study sources of uncertainties related to the choice
This paper will summarise evidence for Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age flint extraction at the Southern English mines, beginning with a brief synopsis of their FME Plug to SMA chronology and followed by a summary of mine lithics.It is argued that understanding later mining is equally important as examining its beginning, because the Neolithic i
Seismic interferometry is often proposed as a cost-efficient technique for reservoir monitoring including CO2 sequestration due to its low cost and environmental advantages over active source imaging.Although many studies have demonstrated the ability of seismic interferometry to retrieve surface waves, body wave imaging remains challenging due to
