gold lamella for ‘Blessed’ Abalala

[A rich and blessed professional illness - organizing pneumonia due to gold dust].

A 47-year-old man, restorer of religious art, presents a three week history of asthenia, myalgia, dry cough and fever, coinciding with recent, unprotected exposure, to golden dust. He had fever, crackles in lung bases, hypoxemia and elevation of inflammatory markers. Imaging studies showed areas of parenchymal consolidation with air bronchograms in posterior-basal regions of both lungs, suggest...

Lamella Clarification and Biofiltration

9 This study investigates the occurrence of all priority substances (n = 41) listed in the 10 Water Framework Directive and additional substances (n = 47) in raw sewage, as well as the 11 removal performance of lamella clarification and biofiltration techniques. Once the efficiency 12 of both types of techniques has been assessed for typical wastewater parameters, the 13 differences in each tec...

[Blessed are the poor in spirit].

Single lamella nanoparticles of polyethylene.

We present a complete analysis of the structure of polyethylene (PE) nanoparticles synthesized and stabilized in water under very mild conditions (15 degrees C, 40 atm) by a nickel-catalyzed polymerization in aqueous solution. Combining cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) with X-ray scattering, we demonstrate that this new synthetic route leads to a stable dispersion of indivi...

The hippocampal lamella hypothesis revisited.

We have re-examined the hippocampal lamellar organization of the CA3-to-CA1 connection. Based on a new technique with electrophysiological quantification of Schaffer collateral density, and a review of recent literature, we conclude that the lamellar organization remains a useful concept for understanding hippocampal connectivity. Using a sheet-like hippocampal preparation, containing the whole...
