The Shan are a large migrant group from Burma (Myanmar) found within Thailand. While some Shan migrate to escape the civil war within Burma, others migrate for economic opportunity. Despite the size of this population, little is known about their health. Our study highlights the need for expanded access to primary care among this Shan population. Despite the arduous and trying journeys of these...

In the present study, an analytical investigation on the entropy generation examination for viscoelastic fluid flow involving inclined magnetic field and non-linear thermal radiation aspects with the heat source and sink over a stretching sheet has been done. The boundary layer governing partial differential equations were converted in terms of appropriate similarity transformations to non-line...

Winter, and an anonymous referee. Special thanks to Pauline Jacobson for extensive and incisive discussion. The analysis presented in this paper is a modest extension of joint work with Chung-chieh Shan (see Shan and Barker 2006 and Barker and Shan 2006), and many of the insights developed here are due to conversations with Shan. However, I have drawn conclusions here that Shan may not necessar...

conclusions the loss of hrc at the onset of admission may predict mortality in patients with blunt trauma. lower entropy, in recently admitted patients with intra-abdominal bleeding, may indicate laparotomy when the vital signs are stable. background nonlinear analysis of heart rate variability (hrv) has been recently used as a predictor of prognosis in trauma patients. objectives we applied no...

The Cenozoic basins and ranges form the high topography of the northeastern Tibet that resulted from the India-Eurasia collision. Sedimentary rocks in the basins provide direct insight into the exhumation history of the ranges and the tectonic processes that led to the northeastward growth of the Tibetan Plateau. In this study, we analyzed and compared detrital zircon U-Pb ages from sands of mo...
