Israde-Alcántara et al. (1) presented evidence from Lake Cuitzeo sediments and argued that it supports the Younger Dryas (YD) impact hypothesis of Firestone et al. (2) for a major extraterrestrial impact event “involving multiple airburst(s) and/or ground impact(s) at 12.9 ka.” Firestone et al. (2) did not specify the details of the impact but proposed that it had “continentwide effects” and wa...

The current study aimed to evaluate the impact of clinically relevant concentrations of dexmedetomidine on the deformability of erythrocytes in vitro and the effects of dexmedetomidine on the deformability of erythrocytes in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Erythrocyte suspensions of different concentrations were divided into six groups: Control (group C); low, medium and high ...

abstract in this study, impact of climate change on net irrigation requirement (in) and yield of wheat using cgcm3 climate projection model, one of the aogcm models, in behshahr area is evaluated. changes in temperature and precipitation were simulated run under the ipcc scenario a2 for 2011-2040, 2041-2070 and 2071-2100 periods. this work was done by using statistical and proportional downscal...

We describe a measurement ofB−B0 mixing parameters exploiting a method of partial reconstruction of the decay chains B → Dπ and B → Dρ. Using 9.6 ×10BB pairs collected at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we find χd = 0.198 ± 0.013 ± 0.014, |yd| < 0.41 at 95% confidence level, and |Re(ǫB)| < 0.034 at 95% confidence level.

Abrupt changes in Western Mediterranean climate during the last deglaciation (20 to 6 cal ka BP) are detected in marine core MD95-2043 (Alboran Sea) through the investigation of high-resolution pollen data and pollenbased climate reconstructions by the modern analogue technique (MAT) for annual precipitation (Pann) and mean temperatures of the coldest and warmest months (MTCO and MTWA). Changes...
