The Steamer Parish: The Rise and Fall of Missionary Medicine on an African Frontier     

William G. Moseley 《The Professional geographer》2013,65(4):593-595

In the past decade, the women's employment rate has increased in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states as a result of improved female educational attainment and the expansion of the local market economy. A significant gender gap in labor force participation (LFP) rates has emerged, however, compared to other countries in the Middle East and North Africa. The main aim of this article is to model the spatial variations of female LFP rates across the northeastern part of Oman. A geographically weighted regression (GWR) technique, within the geographic information system platform, is used to address how the relationships between Omani female LFP rates and a set of explanatory variables vary across Omani subnational boundaries. GWR is a powerful approach that can facilitate the identification of areas with lower or higher female LFP rates and help in better understanding the predictors that are associated with women's employment in specific locations. In so doing, this work attempts to fill the gap in the geographic literature regarding the modeling of local spatial patterns of female employment in developing countries. The results show that the female LFP rate is significantly associated with different spatial measures and particularly the geographic distribution of female education. Interestingly, the percentage of female jobs in the public sector is found to have a substantial negative effect on female LFP rates, especially in urban areas. This can be attributed to the propensity of Omani women to work in governmental jobs and reduce their participation in private and other business sectors. The findings of this research analysis not only offer a more nuanced examination of female LFP rate patterns but also provide empirical evidence in support of locally tailored policies pertaining to the female labor force, which might help in increasing women's participation trends in the local economy across local communities.  相似文献   

基于物联网的心音监测系统的设计与实现     

杨波  张翠  李庆  赵旭  唐慧 《成都信息工程学院学报》2012,27(5):453-457

针对行动不便或有长期监测需求的心血管疾病患者,研发了一套远程心音信号监测系统,在家中患者可以实现心脏状况的检测。系统由心音信号采集器、智能手机和远端监护计算机构成。心音信号经过心音信号采集器处理后,通过电信网络传送到医护中心的监护计算机上。借助于Visual C++6.0开发平台,系统实现了患者数据管理,对心音信号进行希尔伯特黄变换方法的去噪处理,对不正常心音情况进行疾病报警。系统成本低、安全无创,监护软件能够采集、处理、显示、存储、分析心音信号,文中通过对13例心音数据进行处理,验证了系统的有效性和可行性。  相似文献   

Disorder and damage of base‐isolated medical facilities when subjected to near‐fault and long‐period ground motions          下载免费PDF全文

A series of full‐scale shaking table tests were conducted at E‐Defense for a four‐story base‐isolated hospital. The operation room in the specimen was chosen for detailed examination of its disorder and damage during large ground motions. It was arranged with various medical appliances in as a realistic manner as possible, and the appliances were characterized by casters installed at the bottom to ensure mobility. Two types of ground motion, the near‐fault ground motion and long‐period ground motion, were adopted, and the responses of the appliances were recorded using the motion capture technique. Thanks to the base isolation, the floor response was greatly reduced, and no disorder or damage was observed in the operation room except for the case when subjected to a long‐period ground motion. In this case, the unlocked appliances moved seriously (by more than 3 m), and collisions occurred between the appliances and between appliances and the surrounding wall. The force of collision reached 36 kN, which is sufficient to injure a person. The acceleration due to collision was as high as 10 g, which is far beyond what can be tolerated by acceleration‐sensitive appliances. It is notable that such large motion was not observed once the appliances were locked. The test was also carried out for the corresponding fixed‐base structure. Among all cases in the experiment, by far the most serious damage occurred in the fixed‐base structure when subjected to the near‐fault ground motion, clearly because the floor response was significantly amplified from the ground motion.

一种值得重视的地热资源概念模式——构造圈闭型地热资源   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0       下载免费PDF全文

张保建文冬光  沈照理亓 麟 《中国地质》2009,36(4):927-931

笔者根据主干断裂一带出现的地下热水化学组分异常现象,提出了一种新的地热资源概念模式——构造圈闭型地热资源。构造圈闭型热储处于一个相对封闭的水文地质环境,赋存于其中的地下热水径流非常滞缓,变质程度较高,发生的水-岩反应较充分,溶解的围岩化学元素成分更多,有可能形成良好的医疗热矿水。因此,在地热资源勘查利用中具有特殊意义,应充分重视构造圈闭型热储中地下热水的医疗保健功能。  相似文献
