In this letter we report experimental observations on the times of adhesion of living Tokay geckos (Gekko geckos) on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) inverted surfaces. Two different geckos (male and female) and three surfaces with different root mean square (RMS) roughness (RMS=42, 618 and 931 nm) have been considered, for a total of 72 observations. The measured data are proved to be statistical...

The author reviewed 931 consecutive esophageal biopsies in the last 15 year in out pathology laboratory of our hospital in search for benign esophageal tumors. As the results, 41 cases (4.4%) of squamous papilloma, 4 cases (0.4%) of granular cell tumor, 3 cases (0.3%) of leiomyoima, and 1 case (0.1%) tubular adenoma were identified. The 41 cases of squamous papillma were located in the cervical...

The “Going Flat” movement aims to increase awareness and acceptance of mastectomy alone as a viable option for patients. Little is known about the motivation satisfaction with surgical outcomes in this population. Among 931 women surveyed online communities, 74% were satisfied their outcome after without reconstruction ( http://doi.org/10.1245/s10434-020-09448-9 ). However, 22% experienced low ...

Abstract Gender differences in negotiation are typically explained by processes that concern women (e.g., anticipate backlash for assertive behavior).

Thus, we examined both types of 3 studies examining people’s beliefs about the causes (total N = ...

We show that in the linear approximation there are three classes of reflectionless wave propagation on a surface shallow water channel with spatially varying depth, width and current speed. Two these have been described our previous paper (Churilov & Stepanyants, J. Fluid Mech. , vol. 931, 2022, A15), third one was discovered recently is here. The general analysis problem shows that, within...
