OBJECTIVES The purpose of this research was to measure fever prevalence and the effectiveness of a fever screening procedure in detecting febrile arrivals at an international airport in Korea. METHODS Data were retrieved from arrivals' health declaration forms and questionnaires for febrile arrivals at an international airport collected by a national quarantine station during the year 2012. S...

METHODS The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials selected 17 state and large local jurisdictions on the basis of their proximity to federal quarantine stations and collaborated with their state health department legal counsel to conduct formulaic self-assessments of social distancing legal authorities, create tables of authorit...

The capabilities of the Envisat MEdium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) for monitoring water quality parameters of oligoto mesotrophic lakes in Austria and of Lake Garda in Italy are investigated within the project AO-164, “Environmental Research in the Eastern Alps”. From May to September 2003 field measurements and routine measurements from limnological stations are available parallel ...

The simplest model of a smart spatial redistribution of individuals is proposed. A single-species population is considered, to be composed of two discrete subpopulations inhabiting two stations; migration is a transfer between them. The migration is not random and yields the maximization of net reproduction, with respect to the transaction costs. The organisms are supposed to be globally inform...

Soil hydrology is highly nonlinear. As surface soil becomes To characterize the subgrid variability in surface hydrology at saturated with water, excess water runs off in streams. If the the SGP site, we drive a land surface model (the parameters that influence surface soil water vary widely within Biosphere-Atmosphere Transfer Scheme [BATS]; Dickinson a general circulation model (GCM) grid cel...

Using Java as the implementation language and the Netscape Communicator package, a client/server environment is established to allow requests from client stations to download the selected virtual environment to be run on the client. Various security measures, such as certiication, are included in the environment to ensure proper transfer of les and data packets. Once the operations in the downl...

In Wireless sensor networks, the sensors are connected with the devices to observe their performance anddata. The Wireless sensor network, the energy consumed by the resources are measured across the remotelocation (base stations).There are varied performance metric used like network life to evaluate battery poweredsensor nodes.These nodes transfer the information packets from one station to a ...

We address the problems at the most critical area in a cellular multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) network, namely, the cell border. At a mobile terminal the diversity can be increased by using transmit diversity techniques such as cyclic delay diversity (CDD) and space-time coding like Alamouti. We transfer these transmit diversity techniques to a cellular environment. Theref...

Super Hi-Vision’ (SHV) is promising as a future form of television. It is an ultra-high definition TV system that has 16 times the number of pixels of HDTV and employs a 22.2 multichannel sound system. It offers superior presence and gives the impression of reality. The information bitrates of the current prototypes range from 24 to 72 Gbit/s, and a fiber optic transmission system is needed to ...
