We describe a basic Geo-coding service encompassing a geo-parsing tool and integrated digital gazetteer service. The development of a geo-parser comes from the need to explicitly georeference large resource collections such as the Statistical Accounts of Scotland which currently only contain implicit georeferences in the form of placennames thus making such collections inherently geographically...

transradial coronary angiography has been known as an alternative to the transfemoral approach with fewer serious complications. radial artery pseudoaneurysms present as a rare complication of transradial catheterization. although some methods have been applied for the obliteration of pseudoaneurysms, the use of radial bands such as the tr band ® (terumo medical corporation, somerset, nj) is a ...

amyloidosis is characterized by an abnormal extracellular deposition of amyloid in different organs, where it usually causes some type of dysfunction. its cause is unknown. five different types of amyloidosis have been described according to the underlying disease; immunoglobulin amyloidosis, familial amyloidosis, senile systemic amyloidosis, secondary amyloidosis and hemodialysis-associated am...


 Some aspects of environmental hazard within uranium mining areas are considered. The content in the environment components (rocks, soils, underground and surface waters) central part Ukrainian Shield beyond area is analyzed on example Michurinske ore field. It emphasized that man-made sources natural origin should be considered more broadly than just waste dumps from processing enterpris...

Underground displacement monitoring is a key means to monitor and evaluate geological disasters and geotechnical projects. There exist few practical instruments able to monitor subsurface horizontal and vertical displacements simultaneously due to monitoring invisibility and complexity. A novel underground displacement 3D measuring sensor had been proposed in our previous studies, and great eff...
