Korea Community Health Survey Data Profiles

In 2008, Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention initiated the first nationwide survey, Korea Community Health Survey (KCHS), to provide data that could be used to plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate community health promotion and disease prevention programs. This community-based cross-sectional survey has been conducted by 253 community health centers, 35 community universities, an...

Variations in microbial community composition through two soil depth profiles

Soil profiles are often many meters deep, but with the majority of studies in soil microbiology focusing exclusively on the soil surface, we know very little about the nature of the microbial communities inhabiting the deeper soil horizons. We used phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis to examine the vertical distribution of specific microbial groups and to identify the patterns of microbial ...

Objective criteria to assess representativity of soil fungal community profiles.

Soil fungal community structures are often highly heterogeneous even among samples taken from small field plots. Sample pooling is widely used in order to overcome this heterogeneity, however, no objective criteria have yet been defined on how to determine the number of samples to be pooled for representatively profiling a field plot. In the present study PCR/RFLP and T-RFLP analysis of fungal ...

Integrating Public Domain Data to Construct Community Profiles

Introduction In recent times there has been an increase in the availability of and requirement for public domain data that can be used to construct community level profiles in order to study contextual level phenomena. In this paper, we will review the developments that have given rise to this requirement, and explain how we have constructed a database of community characteristics at a postcode...
