Abstract Helmets Background Maternity triage is the emergency portal to access maternity services for pregnant or newly postnatal women experiencing unexpected complications or concerns.Traditionally women were seen in the order in which they attended maternity services without appropriate organisational and clinical systems in place to prioritise
The Fast Simulation of Scattering Characteristics from a Simplified Time Varying Sea Surface
This paper aims at applying a simplified sea surface model into the physical optics (PO) method to accelerate the scattering calculation from 1D time varying sea surface.To reduce the number of the segments and make further improvement on the efficiency of PO method, a simplified sea surface is proposed.In this simplified sea surface, the geometry
Extended genotypic evaluation and comparison of twenty-two cases of lethal EEHV1 hemorrhagic disease in wild and captive Asian elephants in India.
Thirteen new lethal cases of acute hemorrhagic disease (HD) with typical histopathogical features were identified in young Asian elephants (Elephas maximus indicus) in India between 2013 and 2017.Eight occurred amongst free-ranging wild herds, with three more in camp-raised orphans and two in captive-born Rifle Slips calves.All were confirmed to ha
