The morphotectonic analysis is a useful time-saving and cost-effective method to assess tectonic activity, especially in large regions. In this paper, the study was carried out Kerman city which southeast of Iran part Central structural zone. Despite occurrence numerous historical instrumental earthquakes around city, there gap earthquake records that has obscured its seismicity status. aim ide...

This study analyzes the role that children’s literature plays in acquiring critical tools and deconstructing the internalized sense of worthlessness and oppression that Latinos living in poverty might experience. The goal is to provide literacy spaces and critical tools for both, teachers and students from marginalized and oppressed backgrounds, as Paulo Freire and Donaldo Macedo suggest, to be...

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been defined as any degree of glucose intolerance with an onset or first recognition during pregnancy (1–3 ). Fetal complications of GDM include macrosomia (large baby, which leads to birth injuries), shoulder dystocia, and neonatal hypoglycemia, and adverse outcomes for the mother are an increased risk of cesarean delivery, preeclampsia, and hypertension...

Akihiro Tanaka and Taizo Sasaki National Institute for Materials Science, Japan In a March 1997 article in Physics Today [1], Gerald Mahan, Brian Sales and Jeff Sharp write on what they deem a ‘new approach to an old problem’. The subject is thermoelectric materials, which is indeed an old problem, predating the inception of modern solid state physics itself: thermoelectric refrigeration using ...

The capacity to quickly and efficiently regulate gene expression has helped bacteria to colonize virtually every available niche in the biosphere, including dynamic and extreme ones. In accordance with this, bacterial populations must be ever ready to either take advantage of a favorable change or hunker down when the going gets tough. This proficiency is nicely demonstrated by infection of hum...

Apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV overexpression enhances chylomicron (CM) assembly and secretion in newborn swine intestinal epithelial cells by producing larger particles (Lu S, Yao Y, Cheng X, Mitchell S, Leng S, Meng S, Gallagher JW, Shelness GS, Morris GS, Mahan J, Frase S, Mansbach CM, Weinberg RB, Black DD. J Biol Chem 281: 3473-3483, 2006). To determine the impact of apo A-IV on microsomal trig...

Widespread declines of foundation species, such as many corals, kelps, and overstory trees, are of grave concern because, by definition, these species create and maintain habitat that supports other species. Nevertheless, past responses to their declines, many ofwhichwere caused by invasive species, have been late and ineffective, underscoring the need to predict changes in biodiversity and eco...
