WILSON??S LENTICULAR DEGENERATION

The absorption and excretion of radiocopper in hepato-lenticular degeneration (Wilson's disease).

Copper storage diseases: Menkes, Wilsons, and cancer.

The trace element copper is vital to the healthy functioning of organisms. Copper is used in a multitude of cellular activities including respiration, angiogenesis, and immune responses. Like other metals, copper homeostasis is a tightly regulated process. Copper is transported from dietary intake through the serum and into cells via a variety of transporters. There are a variety of copper chap...

High Maneuverability Lenticular Airship

This paper presents and describes a new lenticular shaped airship that allows 3D omnidirectional movements. The airship is intended to be part of a cooperative aerial system based in the synergy between an airship and a group of micro-quad rotors capable of long time missions as environmental, biodiversity monitoring, WiSAR missions, road monitoring, detection of forest fires, etc. The emphasis...
