1.3 Describe the main reservoirs of infectious agents. 1.4 Describe the chain of transmission of communicable diseases and explain how infectious agents are transmitted by direct and indirect modes. 1.5 Describe the characteristics of susceptible hosts and the main risk factors for development of communicable diseases.
Seismic tomography. Seismic tomography is a technique for imaging the subsurface of the Earth with seismic waves produced by earthquakes or explosions. P-, S-, and surface waves can be used for tomographic models of different resolutions based on seismic wavelength, wave source distance, and the seismograph array coverage. The data received at seismometers are used to solve an inverse problem, wherein the locations of reflection and refraction of the wave paths are determined. This solution can be used to create 3D
Mechanical Waves are waves which propagate through a material medium (solid, liquid, or gas) at a wave speed which depends on the elastic and inertial properties of that medium. There are two basic types of wave motion for mechanical waves: longitudinal waves and transverse waves.The animations below demonstrate both types of wave and illustrate the difference between the motion of the wave and the motion of the particles in the medium through which the wave is travelling.here are two basic types of wave motion for mechanical waves: longitudinal waves and transverse waves.
