It has been shown that phospholipid vesicles represent a good model for red blood cells and their shapes. The bilayer couple model predictions agree well with the observed shapes of red blood cells and of phospholipid vesicles. This model helps to understand the effects of external agents on the shapes. The effects of the external electric field on the shapes are studied in more detail.

The specific aim of this analysis is to describe the clinical experience for cancer patients (pts) completing a course of RT at OHSU's Knight Cancer Institute. METHODS The records of 200 OHSU pts that completed a 5-item "Was It Worth It (WIWI)?" questionnaire highlighting pt satisfaction were reviewed. Th...

Garra rufa is one of the most popular therapeutic and commercially important fish in ichthyotherapy. Otolith and scale morphology provide new and useful information for fish identification and classification. Left-right asteriscus and lapillus otoliths from juvenile and adult doctor fish, and the scales from 6 different regions of the juvenile and adult fish body have been examined in Kangal Ba...

extended abstract 1. introduction karst classification is carried out in order to better investigate karsts. it plays a fundamental role in distinguishing and recognizing them. today, the implementation of development projects without the appreciation of karst classification and recognition seems a difficult task. field studies, topographic maps, satellite images, aerial photographs and geologi...
