Why Captions Have To Be on Time
Closed captioning dramatically improves deaf people's enjoyment of television shows, and appears to augment the auditory signal for people with some degree of hearing impairment. However, reports from people with mild to severe hearing loss suggest that when there is a delay between the audio track and the caption, perceivers are confused unless they turn down the volume. These effects have not...
متن کاملWhy Do We have to Move Fluid to be Able to Breathe?
The ability to breathe air represents a fundamental step in vertebrate evolution that was accompanied by several anatomical and physiological adaptations. The morphology of the air-blood barrier is highly conserved within air-breathing vertebrates. It is formed by three different plies, which are represented by the alveolar epithelium, the basal lamina, and the endothelial layer. Besides these ...
متن کاملSeriatopora Diversity Preserved in Upper Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems in Southern Japan
Coral reefs worldwide are facing increasing stress due to drastic changes in their environment. Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) have been considered as a potential refuge from several major stressors, such as warm-water bleaching events. However, their role as a subsequent source of larvae remains unclear for many species, particularly as genetic differentiation of corals over depth has freq...
متن کاملDo Antibiotic Beads Need to be Removed?
Background: Polymethylmethacrylate antibiotic impregnated beads can be an effective treatment for chronicosteomyelitis or an adjuvant in the treatment of open fractures. It remains unclear however whether the beads causelong-term adverse events if not removed. The purpose of this study was to determine if removal of antibiotic beads wasrequired in order to avoid long term comp...
متن کاملA comprehensive investigation of mesophotic coral ecosystems in the Hawaiian Archipelago
Although the existence of coral-reef habitats at depths to 165 m in tropical regions has been known for decades, the richness, diversity, and ecological importance of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) has only recently become widely acknowledged. During an interdisciplinary effort spanning more than two decades, we characterized the most expansive MCEs ever recorded, with vast macroalgal commu...
