made targets that were resting on the sediment surface, or partially buried. These targets were placed inside the 3-dimensional reconfigurable dome measurement system that is shown in Figure 1. The footprint of the TOPAS beam pattern was centered in the dome measuring system. This hemispherical dome array was developed by NRL-SSC for use in its scattering programs, and is a unique measurement s...

BACKGROUND The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the true incidence of osteochondral lesions on the talar dome by location and by morphologic characteristics on MRI. Because no universally accepted localization system for talar dome osteochondral lesions currently exists, we established a novel, nine-zone anatomical grid system on the talar dome for an accurate depiction of lesion locat...

A structural investigation of the well-exposed northern and western parts of the Vredefort dome has established the geometry and chronology of pre-, syn-and post-impact deformation features. The strata display a crude polygonal geometry with zones of complex monoclinal or symmetric folding, and radial oblique-slip faulting separating relatively straight segments. Pseudotachylitic breccia is ubi...

AIMS Human action potentials in the Brugada syndrome have been characterized by delayed or even complete loss of dome formation, especially in the right ventricular epicardial layers. Such a repolarization pattern is believed to trigger phase-2 reentry (P2R); however, little is known about the conditions necessary for its initiation. This study aims to determine the specific mechanisms that fac...

Distinct glycoconjugate expression between dome enterocytes and villus enterocytes in ileum from twelve 3-week-old conventional pigs was examined by the use of twenty one biotinylated lectins with avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex method. Three patterns of staining were seen. First, lectins bind to dome enterocyte and villus enterocyte to approximately equal staining, i.e. DSL, WGA, s-WGA and Co...
