SIRENOMELIA: PARTLY HUMAN, PARTLY MARINE: A CONGENITAL ANOMALY

Sirenomelia: Partly human, partly marine: A congenital anomaly

Sirenomelia or mermaid syndrome is a rare and lethal malformation.It is characterized by a single lower limb with various Ethernet Switch degrees of fusion, single umbilical artery, urogenital abnormalities, and absent external genitalia.Two major mechanisms proposed in its Hydra Derma-Glow pathogenesis are the vascular steal hypothesis and the def

Electro-Precipitation of Actinides on Boron-Doped Diamond Thin Films for Solid Sources Preparation for High-Resolution Alpha-Particle Spectrometry

In this work, we investigate a novel approach to prepare high-performance alpha-particle solid sources fabricated on diamond thin support layers, offering the properties of diamond such as a low-Z material with corrosion and mechanical hardness.As-prepared solid sources onto boron-doped-diamond (BDD) substrate exhibited high performance of the auto

Filament-filament switching can be regulated by separation between filaments together with cargo motor number.

How intracellular transport controls the probability that cargos switch at intersections between filaments is not well understood.In one hypothesis some motors on the cargo attach to one filament while others attach to the intersecting filament, and the ensuing tug-of-war determines which filament is chosen.We investigate this hypothesis using 3D c

The challenges of military operations in urban areas

Urban areas, depending on their characteristics, have different effects on the engagement of forces and equipment and the manner in which military operations are conducted.The characteristics of these areas that are important for conducting operations are position, location, shape, size, the method of construction, the layout of the street network,
