Chlamydophila psittaci in Fulmars, the Faroe Islands
Chlamydophila psittaci was detected in 10% of 431 fulmars examined from the Faroe Islands. Analysis of ompA showed a sequence almost identical to that of the type strain. The origin of C. psittaci outbreaks in fulmars is discussed. Despite a high level of exposure, the risk for transmission of C. psittaci to humans is low.
متن کاملHigh birth weights in prewar Faroe Islands.
Birth weights in the Faroe Islands are among the highest in the world. During the 1980s, infants born there had 200 grams higher mean birth weight than their Danish peers. Half of this diVerence could be attributed to a longer gestation (four days on average), half to a higher fetal growth rate. A high intake of seafood has been suggested to be a possible cause of this pattern. The findings of ...
متن کاملAir pollution in road tunnels.
As a part of a study of pollution of the air by motor vehicles, measurements have been made in two London road tunnels during periods of high traffic density. The concentrations of smoke and polycyclic hydrocarbons found there are much higher than the average values in Central London, but they are of the same order of magnitude as those occurring during temperature inversions on winter evenings...
متن کاملSeismic Stability of Subsea Tunnels Subjected to Seepage
Strength reduction method and ADINA software are adopted to study the stability of submarine tunnel structures subjected to seepage and earthquake under different seawater depths and overlying rock strata thicknesses. First, the excess pore water pressure in the rock mass is eliminated through consolidation calculation. Second, dynamic time-history analysis is performed by inputting the seismic...
متن کاملRisk Assessment and Optimization of Road Tunnels
Probabilistic methods of risk optimization are applied to specify the most effective arrangements of road tunnels. The total consequences of alternative arrangements are assessed using Bayesian networks supplemented by decision and utility nodes. It appears that the optimization may provide valuable information for a rational decision concerning number of escape routes. Discount rate seems to a...
