The flagellated protozoan Salpingoeca rosetta is one of the closest relatives of multicellular animals. Unicellular S. rosetta can be induced to form multicellular colonies, but colonies swim more slowly than individual cells so the advantages conferred by colony formation are uncertain. Here we use theoretical models to show that hydrodynamic cooperation between cells can increase the fluid su...

The ROSETTA spacecraft will y-by a few asteroids during its course to the nal cometary target. The candidate asteroids presently are 140 Siwa (C-type) and 4979 Otawara. An alternative interesting trajectory reaching four asteroids (5331 Erimomisaki, 905 Universitas, 1515 Perrotin and 4247 Grahamsmith) has also been found by ESA. With the limited data presently available on these bodies we calcu...

soil moisture retention curve is one of the soil hydraulic prosperities which its direct measurement is time consuming and expensive. therefore, indirect methods such as developing pedotransfer functions have been used to predict this characteristic from soil readily available or easily measurable data. in this study, multiple linear regression method was used to develop point pedotransfer func...

I diopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) used to be called primary pulmonary hypertension. Both terms indicate that we do not yet fully understand the aetiology of the disease. A clue to the underlying mechanisms lies in the observation that the appetite-suppressant drugs aminorex [1, 2] and fenfluramine [3] were both associated with a marked increase in the incidence of pulmonary art...
