A variety of frost-crystal forms found growing from the vapor in ice caves and tunnels in the Antarctic are described and illustrated . Complex la yered structures found within large, skeletal cr ystals are ascribed to the action of the temperature gradient. Some novel c-axis growth forms and a rare type of bicr ys tal growth accelerated growth in a particular direction along a particular grain...

Avec la précarité menstruelle ou encore l’endométriose, santé sexuelle féminine commence à éclore comme sujet dans le débat public. Encore un effort, et peut-être pourrons-nous jour parler des douleurs périnéales, de leurs causes leur prise en charge. C’est ce que souhaite Camille Tallet, sage-femme ostéopathe Lyon, fondatr...

Learning Management Systems (LMSs) are used in many (educational) institutes to manage the learning process. Adaptive Learning Environments (ALEs) offer support for the learning process through adaptive guidance and perhaps also personalized learning material (content). GRAPPLE offers a new infrastructure that brings both together. This is done through single sign-on, a common User Model Framew...

Following the recent work of Dhiri et al(1999) at the Home Office predicting recorded burglary and theft for England and W ales to the year 2001, econometric and time series models have been constructed for predicting recorded residential burglary to the same date. A comparison between the Home Office econometric predictions and the less alarming econometric predictions made in this paper ident...

În cele ce urmează este prezentat un sistem de analiză automată a scenei, bazat pe imaginile (“preview”-uri) achiziţionate de camera foto înainte de captarea fotografiei. În urma analizei, scena este clasificată fără intervenţia utilizatorului în “peisaj” sau “non-peisaj”, scopul acestei clasificări fiind acela de a stabili cele mai potrivite valori ale parametrilor de expunere. Soluţia propusă...

he nasopalatine duct cyst (NPDC) is a condition of nondontogenic development arising from the proliferation of pithelial remnants of the nasopalatine duct, which exists hroughout fetal life, and tends to regress after birth. In ome cases, remnants may remain, proliferate, and give ise to a cyst.1,2 It is a rare condition, usually affecting ales between 30 and 60 years of age.3 It is usually asy...

The transcription-related DNA damage response was analyzed on a genome-wide scale with great spatial and temporal resolution. Upon UV irradiation, a slowdown of transcript elongation and restriction of gene activity to the promoter-proximal ∼25 kb is observed. This is associated with a shift from expression of long mRNAs to shorter isoforms, incorporating alternative last exons (ALEs) that are ...
