Abstract The Earth System Modelling Group of GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam (ESMGFZ) provides geodetic products for gravity variations, rotation excitations, and surface deformations related to mass redistributions loads in the atmosphere, ocean, terrestrial water storage. excitation compiled as effective angular momentum (EAM) functions each subsystem (atmosphere, continental hydrology) are impo...

Phage therapy, treating bacterial infections with bacteriophages, could be a future alternative to antibiotic treatment of bacterial infections. There are, however, several problems to be solved, mainly associated to the biology of phages, the interaction between phages and their bacterial hosts, but also to the vast variation of pathogenic bacteria which implies that large numbers of different...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CT and MR imaging of the brain have diverged reference lines. Modified Talairach anterior/posterior commissure (ACPC) line is widely accepted as the standard for clinical brain MR imaging, while orbitomeatal line (OML) is used for CT. This study sought to determine an appropriate reference line for brain CT parallel to the ACPC line. MATERIALS AND METHODS We measured th...

Elevated pCO2 and warming are generally expected to influence cyanobacterial growth, and may promote the formation of blooms. Yet, both climate change factors may also influence cyanobacterial mortality by favoring pathogens, such as viruses, which will depend on the ability of the host to adapt. To test this hypothesis, we grew Plectonema boryanum IU597 under two temperature (25 and 29°C) and ...

Bacteriophage phiYeO3-12 is a T7/T3-related lytic phage that naturally infects Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:3 strains by using the lipopolysaccharide O polysaccharide (O antigen) as its receptor. The phage genome is a 39,600-bp-long linear, double-stranded DNA molecule that contains 58 genes. The roles of many of the genes are currently unknown. To identify nonessential genes, the isolate...

Abstract Precise positioning and navigation on the Earth’s surface in space require accurate earth orientation parameters (EOP) data predictions. In last few decades, EOP prediction has become a subject of increased attention within international geodetic community, e.g., agencies, satellite operators, researchers studying Earth rotation dynamics, users systems. Due to this fact, many research ...

The traditional classification of the four states of consciousness waking stae, dream state, sleep state and transcendence state is combined through quantum states of mind ordinary perception, extra sensory perception and extra-ordinary perception to create a 12 state consciousness perception matrix. The paper elaborates on the concept and nature of the three quantum states of mind, their corre...
