In modern marine marginal environments, the coastal morphology directly influences tidal and wave processes. this paper we present an example of ancient zone where change in controlled range. This study focuses on Permian Rio Bonito Formation southern Paraná Basin, major coal deposits South America are located. Sedimentological stratigraphical approaches were applied to cores drilled Candiota p...

Available output in the Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (SLO) may be expressed as radiant power at the beam pivot (SLO exit pupil), in units of microwatts (microW). This power corresponds to dimensions of brightness (like luminance and retinal illuminance) and to a range of related measures (like cd/m2, lm/m2, and the troland value) in both free and Maxwellian views. We demonstrate that the conve...

BACKGROUND Understanding the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and vascular disease at older age has become increasingly important in the many countries where both average age and BMI are rising. METHODS AND RESULTS In this prospective cohort study, 12 203 men (aged ≥65) were recruited in 1996-1999 from the general population in Perth, Australia. To limit reverse causality, analyses ...

Introduction: Tidal heating is an important energy source for several solar system bodies, and there is a wide-spread perception that the pattern of surface heat flow is diagnostic of internal structure. We wish to clarify that situation. Our analysis depends upon two important assumptions: First, that heat transport is dominated by conduction. Second, that the body can be modeled by a sequence...

Two hourly-sampled time-series of soil-gas radon concentrations of durations of the order of a year have been investigated for periodic and anomalous phenomena. These time-series have been recorded in locations having little or no routine human behaviour and thus are effectively free of significant anthropogenic influences. One measurement site, Sur-Frêtes, is located in the French Alps, with s...

Macrophages are a major component of tumor stroma. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) show anti- (M1) or protumor (M2) functions depending on the cytokine milieu of the tumor microenvironment. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is constitutively expressed in a variety of tumors including colorectal cancer. TAMs are known to be a major source of COX-2 in human and mice intestinal tumors. COX-2 inhibitor ...

In the high temperature combustion atmosphere inside of aircraft turbines, currently used ceramic matrix composites require a protective environmental barrier coating (EBC) to mitigate corrosion turbine parts. Besides thermomechanical and thermochemical properties like matching thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) resistance against corrosive media, mechanical adhesion strength are also necessar...

CONTEXT A variety of indirect evidence has implicated the central muscarinic-cholinergic system, and more specifically the type 2 muscarinic (M2) receptor, in the pathogenesis of depressive symptoms arising in major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder. OBJECTIVE To assess the binding potential of muscarinic2 receptors in vivo during depression in subjects with major depressive disorder o...

detailed log facies studies of miocene succession in the well rashidpur-04, rashidpur structure, surma basin were carried out by integrating wireline log and limited core sample data in order to reconstruct the paleoenvironments of deposition. based on the analysis of the log motifs, grain size, sand/shale ratio and major change in gamma ray log motifs, two major depositional sequences were ide...
