Site-specific information concerning fuel hazard characteristics is needed to support wildfire management interventions and fuel hazard reduction programs.Currently, routine visual assessments provide subjective information, with the resulting estimate of fuel hazard varying due to observer experience and the rigor applied in making assessments.Ter
Dust in Clusters of Galaxies
The presence of dust in the intracluster medium (ICM) has been a long-standing problem that is still awaiting elucidation.Direct observational diagnostics are rather challenging (though not impossible) either because of a sparse distribution of dust in the intracluster space that makes extinction measurements difficult or because of a low surface b
Large-Scale Detection of the Tableland Areas and Erosion-Vulnerable Hotspots on the Chinese Loess Plateau
Tableland areas, featured by flat and broad landforms, provide precious land resources for agricultural production and human settlements over the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP).However, severe gully 5 Piece Dining Room erosion triggered by extreme rainfall and intense human activities makes tableland areas shrink continuously.Preventing the loss of ta
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Correlates Poorly with Four-Hour Creatinine Clearance in Critically Ill Patients with Acute Kidney Injury
Introduction.RIFLE and AKIN provide a standardised classification of acute kidney injury (AKI), but their categorical rather than continuous nature restricts their use to a research tool.A more Bar Table Set accurate real-time description of renal function in AKI is needed, and some published data suggest that equations based on serum creatinine th
Fear of Crime in South Korea
This study provides analyses of data on crime-associated trepidation obtained from surveys administered to college students in South Korea.The survey contained questions about, and the analyses distinguished between, offense-specific fears (fear of burglary and fear of home invasion), perceived risk of victimization (day and night), and crime avoid
