The Ridley-Jopling classification places leprosy patients into a spectrum with polar tuberculoid (TT) and lepromatous (LL) and middle types of borderline tuberculoid (BT), mid-borderline (BB) and borderline lepromatous (BL) leprosy. These have been categorised, for treatment purposes, into paucibacillary (PB) and multibacillary (MB) depending on lesion counts and the results of skin smear exami...

The Taku Schist, which is located in the north-east Peninsular Malaysia, characterized by its North-South oriented elongated body. It forms part of Indonesian orogenic build-up that was generated via convergence Sibumasu continental unit and Sukhothai Arc. Subsequent petrography analyses metasedimentary rocks sourced from Schist revealed their formation attributable to metamorphism greenschist ...

Abstract Tight sandstone reservoirs dominated by are developed in the Chang 6 oil layer group of Yanchang Formation central-western part Ordos Basin. Featuring lacustrine delta facies, formation center-west area Basin shows an increasing petroleum reserve expectation. Its exploitation practice, however, has many problems caused tight reservoir features. According to diagenetic and pore analysis...

A hierarchical geostatistical analysis is conducted on a high-resolution, multiscale hydraulic conductivity (lnK) map, created by scaling up an experimental stratigraphy. Unlike a previous study which evaluates lnK variograms within individual depositional environments, this study analyzes deposits (or samples) that incorporate multiple depositional environments. Based on conductivity cutoffs s...

The uppermost section of the Hunter Mine group (HMG) (2728 Ma), a bimodal volcanic complex in the Abitibi greenstone belt, contains both oxide and carbonate facies banded iron-formation (BIF). This paper explores the relationship between volcanic activity and the development of the two types of iron-formation. The oxide facies, represented by chert-jasper-magnetite iron-formation is widespread ...

High-resolution seismic data and sediment cores reveal the late Holocene subsurface stratigraphy of the broad Tappan Zee– Piermont region of the Hudson River Estuary. We identify a series of distinct, extensive horizons beneath the marginal flats, channel banks, and main channel in this area. Physical properties and lithology from sediment cores suggest that these horizons are surfaces of erosi...

Facial appearance can be a significant clue in the initial identification of genetic conditions, but their low incidence limits exposure during training and inhibits the development of skills in recognising the facial "gestalt" characteristic of many dysmorphic syndromes. Here we describe the potential of computer-based models of three-dimensional (3D) facial morphology to assist in dysmorpholo...
