132 Fig. 1. Violaceous, mildly scaly, discrete to confluent papules and plaque over the back. Direct immunofluorescence (IF) of perilesional skin showed cell surface and basement membrane zone deposits of IgG (Fig. 2a). Intercellular IgG deposits were also demonstrated by indirect IF using normal human skin section (1:40; not in Fig. 2b) and rat bladder transitional epithelium (1:10) (Fig. 2b)....

This paper describes a novel approach in simulating laminar to turbulent transition by using two-equation models. The Total Stresses Limitation(TSL) concept is used to make the two-equation model capable of predicting high Reynolds number transitional ow. To consider the transition triggered by laminar separation at low Reynolds number location, which commonly occurs in high speed ow, a sensor ...

For studying vegetation cover in Choghakhor wetland located in Chaharmahal-o-Bakhtiari province (W Iran), some zones of vegetation life forms were determined and also digitized in order to produce the primary map of plant cover by using LISS-IV sensor of IRS satellite with the spatial resolution of 5.8 m. As aquatic plants in Choghakhor wetland were fully grown, homogeneity or heterogeneity of ...

The nail unit is constructed by distinctly regulated components. The nail isthmus is a lately proposed region as a transitional zone between the most distal part of the nail bed and the hyponychium. It is difficult to recognize the nail isthmus in the normal nail, but it is easy to identify the region in nail disorders such as pterygium inversum unguis and ectopic nail. We describe structure an...

Helioseismology has established the existence of a layer of strong gradients of angular velocity at the base of the solar convection zone. This layer (`tachocline') separates the convection zone exhibiting a strong latitudinal differential rotation from the radiative interior that rotates almost rigidly. Turbulence generated in the tachocline is likely to mix material in the upper radiative zon...

Epithelial cell lines were established from the transition and peripheral zones of human prostate by transduction with cdk4 and hTERT. The properties of these lines were investigated using immunocytochemical markers, ability to generate anchorage-independent colonies and by spectral karyotyping (SKY). Cells were exposed to fractionated doses of gamma irradiation to investigate their ability to ...

The pollen record from Elk Lake is interpreted in climatic terms by three different numerical approaches. The paleoclimatic record inferred for Elk Lake can be described as a sequence of climatic zones, separated by short transitional intervals: (1) the cold and dry late glacial zone (11,600-11,000 varve yr), (2) the cool and moist early Holocene zone (10,000-8500 varve yr), (3) the warm and dr...

[1] To investigate the possible physical mechanisms of recently observed aseismic slip events in the Cascadia, Japan and Mexico subduction zones, we apply a Dieterich-Ruina rate and state friction law to a three dimensional model of a shallow subduction fault. That is loaded by imposed steady plate slip rate far downdip along the thrust interface. Friction properties are temperature and hence d...
