This is true in Euripides's Bacchae to a certain extent, and the play's breakdown of the divide between male/female and Greek/foreign has been well examined in scholarship. However, the limitations of this questioning of boundaries are much less discussed. For instance,...

Forestland application of poultry manure offers an alternative to the conventional practice of pastureland application. Before such a practice is considered viable, however, it must be demonstrated that the forest ecosystem is capable of absorbing the nutrients contained in poultry manure, especially nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). From the forestry perspective, it must also be demonstrated th...

We studied solvent-free, one-step functionalization of aligned multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNTs) using initiated chemical vapor deposition. Aligned MWNTs with a variety of aspect ratios were uniformly functionalized with an epoxy polymer. The vapor deposition process allowed excellent retention of the nanotube alignment and control of the porosity of the resultant MWNT nanostructure. In addi...

Introduction Cardiac excitation–contraction coupling is a transduction cascade that results in muscle contraction and relaxation. In ventricular myocytes, the arrival of an action potential activates sarcolemmal L-type Ca channels, and the subsequent inward Ca current, in turn, activates several RyRs in the SR membrane (the Ca release unit [CRU]). Activation of a CRU causes more Ca to be releas...
