(1) Forty-one (85 percent) affected persons lived in five communities located within a 70-kilometer area along the coast.
(2) In the picture above, taken over Libya, a storm stretches for hundreds of kilometers across the sand seas of the Sahara.
(3) An investigation of aerosols emitted by trickling-filter sewage treatment plants revealed that coliforms were indeed emitted and have been sampled to a distance of 0.8 mile (1.2 kilometers) downwind.
(4) Venda, northern Transvaal, South Africa, a self governing region of 7460 square kilometers varying from rural villages to small towns.
(5) The use of the rates "death per registered vehicle" or "death per vehicle-kilometer" does not provide a consistent measure across time when there is a nonlinear relationship between number of deaths and number of vehicles.
(6) Power will have to flow from offshore wind farms in the north of the country over many hundred kilometers to the industrial centers in the west and the south.
(7) We also analyzed the traffic accident risk per million kilometers driven.
(8) Boos and whistles from protesters forced Danish Prime Minister Thorning-Schmidt to halt her May Day speech to thousands at the gathering in Aarhus, some 200 kilometers (125 miles) northwest of Copenhagen.
(9) Likewise, there appears to be at present little satisfactory explanation for the several clusters of exceedingly high mortality areas scattered in northern and central Italy, since some of these areas are several hundred kilometers apart, and there is no obvious common denominator in diet or other environmental factors that may explain their higher gastric cancer mortality rates.
(10) All 91,823 children born in 1980 in Bohemia (population 6.314 million; area 52,478 square kilometers) were examined at least four times during infancy and at the age of three and four years.
(11) This study does not take into account the kilometers driven.
(12) Fixed health facilities should not be limited to a radius of 5 kilometers, they should establish seasonal circuits as the population moves, and 1 or more areas should be served by an intermediate fed health post.
(13) The death rates per hundred million vehicle kilometers of travel, per 100,000 registered motor vehicles, and per 100,000 resident population in 1987 were about 1.87, 19.7, and 26.5, respectively.
(14) To examine the effect of intensive physical exercise on interleukin 2 (IL-2), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) and lymphocyte subsets, eleven elite and well-conditioned runners were tested in relation to a five-kilometer race.
(15) This paper discusses the surgical and medical problems affecting off-shore oil drilling workers in the south-eastern Atlantic coastline of the Nigerian territorial waters; about 50-60 kilometers from land.
(16) The findings of this study are as follows: During the decade studied, Western Europe as a whole experienced a fatality rate reduction per 10(9) vehicle-kilometers traveled of 45.8% while the U.S. experienced a 29.1% reduction during this same period.
(17) At the end of this year’s summer melt season, the areal extent covered by sea ice was more than a million square kilometers below the 30-year average.
(18) This low coverage was observed in spite the fact that health services were available within 2 kilometer radius.
(19) In that test, the rate-pressure product (HR X BPs) also increased and a greater ST segment depression and aggravation of arrhythmia were noted as compared to the findings obtained during the 5 kilometer march and also in the classic ergometric test.
(20) The samples were taken from the middle of the White Nile, from handpumps along the river-bank, from the bank of the river and from drinking water bowls in the village of Melut and other surrounding villages within about 100 kilometers.
