The Geyser Type Mud Volcano Eruption in Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia

Obstacles for optimal tuberculosis case detection in primary health centers ( PHC ) in Sidoarjo district , East Java , Indonesia

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a major health problem worldwide. Detection of the most infectious cases of tuberculosis – sputum smear-positive pulmonary cases – by passive case finding is an essential component of TB control. The district of Sidoarjo in East Java reported a low case detection rate (CDR) of 14% in 2003. We evaluated the diagnostic process for TB in primary health ca...

A prediction of the longevity of the Lusi mud eruption, Indonesia

Eruption of a deep-sea mud volcano triggers rapid sediment movement

Submarine mud volcanoes are important sources of methane to the water column. However, the temporal variability of their mud and methane emissions is unknown. Methane emissions were previously proposed to result from a dynamic equilibrium between upward migration and consumption at the seabed by methane-consuming microbes. Here we show non-steady-state situations of vigorous mud movement that a...
