THE DESIGNATION phyto-photo dermatitis is an excellent self-explanatory term for this skin condition. It was first coined by Klaber in 1942. He suggested that this name should be used to describe skin eruptions caused by external contact with plants and their extracts after subsequent exposure to sunlight. This rather interesting skin condition is not seen very often in this part of the world. ...

Rapid advances in microelectromechanical systems have stimulated the development of compact devices, which require effective cooling technologies (e.g., microchannel cooling). However, the inconsistencies between experimental and classical theoretical predictions for the liquid flow in microchannel remain unclarified. Given the larger surface/volume ratio of microchannel, the surface effects in...

Polar dielectrics are being actively investigated as a promising platform for mid-infrared nanophotonics, and it indicates dramatic nonlocal phenomena at the nanoscale. Based on full-wave extended Mie theory, we analytically derive equivalent permittivity of polar dielectric nanospheres. Then, establish conditions surface phonon amplification by stimulated emission radiation core-gain shell nan...

We conducted an experimental study to determine to what extent computer skill learners can benefit from generating self-explanation with the aid of different computer-based visualization technologies. Selfexplanation was stimulated with dynamic visualization (Screencast), static visualization (Screenshot), or verbal instructions only, and compared to a control group with no self-explanation ins...

Turner's syndrome, the association of webbing of the neck, cubitus valgus and infantilism, is well recognized. Much less attention, however, has been paid to a condition occurring in infancy characterized by symmetrical webbing of the neck and lymphangiectatic oedema of the extremities as well as other features, and is termed the BonnevieUllrich syndrome. This condition has been extensively stu...

Abstract Background The mechanisms by which the intestinal microbiome drives inflammation and disease activity in IBD is not clear. Most of current efforts developing treatments targeting are focused on microbial taxa very few developed based functions this condition. Using high-resolution functional analysis we have designed a live bacterial consortium consisting four strains with anti-inflamm...
