We study the major MW = 7.0, 30 October 2020, Samos earthquake and its aftershocks, by calculating improved locations using differential travel times waveform cross-correlations. image rupture of mainshock local strong motion data, we examine Coulomb stress evolution prior to mainshock, as well coseismic changes. Lastly, estimate produced shaking all available information from data testimonies....

Map design and usability issues are crucial when considering different device orientations. It is visible, especially in exploring the topographical space landscape or portrait orientation on mobile phone. In this study, we aim to reveal main differences similarities among participants’ performance a map-based task. The study presents an original research scheme, including establishing conceptu...

The Middle Niger Basin is located within the west-central half of Nigeria, as a NW-SE trending Campano-Maastrichtian depo-centre which extends from southern end Sokoto west Kainji reservoir southwestwards to convergence Benue and Rivers at Lokoja. aeromagnetic anomaly data was interpreted characterize structural architecture depth magnetic basement basin. This expand current knowledge region. a...

the present study was an attempt to assess religious orientation and life satisfaction as well as to find out relationship of religious orientation with life satisfaction among university students. university students were also compared on religious orientation and life satisfaction with respect to their gender. the data for the present study was obtained from university students [n=200 (males ...

Protected crop production is rapidly expanding in the Mediterranean Basin, and particularly Morocco. Increased local overseas demand for these products led to a rapid development greenhouse usage encouraged by government policies. The aim of this study investigate key design parameters that affect thermal behavior heating/cooling energy need situated Agadir (Morocco). include cladding material ...

A case of West Nile virus (WNV) infection was reported in the Algarve region, Portugal, in the first week of September 2015. WNV is known to circulate in Portugal, with occasional reports in horses and birds (2004 to 2011) and very sporadically human cases (in 2004 and in 2010). Here we present the clinical and laboratory aspects related to the first human case of West Nile neuroinvasive diseas...

Entomological, veterinary, and human surveillance systems for West Nile virus (WNV) infection have been implemented in Italy since the first detection of the virus in 1998. These surveillance activities documented a progressive increase of WNV activity and spread in different regions and the emergence of new WNV lineages and strains. Italy is a paradigmatic example of the complex epidemiology o...

A West Nile virus (WNV) surveillance network including sentinel chickens was deployed in Thessaloniki county, Greece, from May to July 2011. For the first time in summer 2011, a chicken WNV isolate from 6 July was molecularly identified. The partial NS3 sequence was identical to that of the Nea Santa-Greece-2010 WNV lineage 2, detected in central Macedonia in 2010. This suggests that WNV is act...
