DETERMINATION OF AREAS SUSCEPTIBLE TO LANDSLIDING USING SPATIAL PATTERNS OF RAINFALL FROM TROPICAL RAINFALL MEASURING MISSION DATA, RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL

Determination of Areas Susceptible to Landsliding Using Spatial Patterns of Rainfall from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Data, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Spatial patterns of shallow landslide initiation reflect both spatial patterns of heavy rainfall and areas susceptible to mass movements.We determine the areas most susceptible to shallow landslide occurrence through the calculation of critical soil cohesion and spatial patterns of rainfall derived from IEC Power Cords TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measu

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy alters 1H-NMR-measured lipoprotein and glycoprotein profile in patients with severe obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Abstract Patients with morbid obesity frequently present non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) associated with pro-atherogenic alterations.Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective treatment for weight reduction, and for the remission of hepatic alterations.Using 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR)
