Yet, limited research has been conducted examine spirituality adults relocating long-term care facilities (LTCFs). The intent this mixed methods study was cull data from a parent explore different aspects among residents newly admitted LTCFs.

Megathrust ruptures and the ensuing postseismic deformation cause stress changes that may induce seismicity on upper plate crustal faults far from coseismic rupture area. In this study, we analyze seismic swarms occurred in north Ecuador area of Esmeraldas, beginning two months after 2016 Mw 7.8 Pedernales, megathrust earthquake. The Esmeraldas region is 70 km Pedernales a separate segment subd...

an important aim of seismology is to determine focuses of earthquakes. the more precisely the process is carried out, the better results will be achieved in various studies, for example, in vestigation of the crustal structure and seismogenic zone or the determination of the plane of faults causing earthquakes. the classic methods of locating are based on geiger's equations (1910). the rel...

Abstract Background This paper deals with the location of emergency medical stations where ambulances waiting to be dispatched are parked. The literature reports a lot mathematical programming models used optimize station locations. Most studies evaluate only analytically applying same simplifying assumptions that were in modelling phase. In addition, they concentrate on systems operating one t...
