An attempt was made to develop a method for sizing stable riprap around bridge piers based on a huge amount of experimental data, which is available in the literature. All available experimental data for circular as well as round-nose-and-tail rectangular piers were collected. The data for rectangular piers, with different aspect ratios, aligned with the flow or skewed at different angles to th...

21 The membrane and actin cortex of a motile cell can autonomously differentiate into two states, 22 one typical of the front, the other of the tail. On the substrate-attached surface of 23 Dictyostelium cells, dynamic patterns of front-like and tail-like states are generated that are 24 best suited to monitor transitions between these states. To image large-scale pattern dynamics 25 independen...

Measuring the finite width and unitarity corrections to the φω mixing amplitude. Abstract It is shown that the phase of φω interference in the reaction e + e − → π + π − π 0 at energies close to the φ(1020) peak can be calculated in a way that is practically independent of the model of φω mixing. The magnitude of the presently measured interference phase, still of poor accuracy, is in agreement...

In this issue of Genes & Development, Urbach and colleagues (pp. 971-982) provide compelling data suggesting a role for LIN28 in the pathogenesis of a significant percentage of Wilms tumors. These data extend our insights in the genetics underlying Wilms tumor development and emphasize the importance of stemness and microRNA-mediated processes in the origins of these tumors.

Two patients with lipoid proteinosis are reported in whom paranoid symptoms were the presenting feature. Both had a long standing impairment of memory and bilateral medial temporal lobe calcification demonstrated by CT scan. Possible associations between the anatomical site of these lesions and the neuropsychiatric manifestations are discussed.

Nieuwland et al. (2017, http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/02/25/111807) recently made available their (thus far to our knowledge) unpublished manuscript, describing a nine-lab replication attempt of DeLong, Urbach and Kutas (2005), hereafter DUK05. They concluded that over their nine labs, the a/an Article prediction effect reported in DUK05 did not replicate. Here, we highlight some featur...

Lipoid proteinosis is a rare hereditary disease which often results in bilateral calcifications in the medial temporal region. Thirty-four adults living with lipoid proteinosis (>10% of the world population) were extensively assessed with standardized neuropsychiatric and neuropsychological measures. Of these, 27 patients representing a homogenous group living in the Northern Cape were matched ...

In Digital Terrestrial/Television Multimedia Broadcasting (DTMB) Multicarrier (MC) mode system, Tail Cancellation and Cyclic Restoration (TCCR) is needed for Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) cancelling. In this paper, Threshold method combinated with averaging method and Power profile width detection method are proposed as new channel estimation in order to improve the performance of TCCR.
