The intestine carries out important functions related to digestion and absorption. It is composed of three distinct layers, an outer muscle layer, a mesenchymal layer and the epithelial layer. The epithelial layer forms the protective barrier that faces the luminal content of the intestine. In order to maintain barrier function the epithelial layer needs constant replenishment. This is ensured ...

A careful comparison of the performance of a commercially available Lattice-Boltzmann Equation solver (PowerFLOW) was made with a conventional, block-structured computational uid-dynamics code (CFL3D) for the ow over a two-dimensional NACA-0012 airfoil. The results suggest that the version of PowerFLOW used in the investigation produced solutions with large errors in the computed ow eld; these ...

It is well known that avian yolk sac is involved in both primitive and definitive erythropoiesis during embryonic development. Definitive erythropoiesis is first detected at about 4-5 days incubation and its maximum activity is reached between day 10 and 15 of incubation, ending between days 18 and 20 of incubation. We confirmed the definitive erythropoietic foci in the chicken yolk sac through...

Rowhammer demonstrated that non-physical hardwareweakness-based attacks can be devastating. In a recent paper, Cai et al. [2] propose that similar attacks can be performed on MLC NAND flash. In this paper, we discuss the requirements for a successful, full-system, local privilege escalation attack on such media, and show a filesystem based attack vector. We demonstrate the filesystem layer of t...

The basement lamella under the epidermis of amphibian larvae shows a sub-microscopic architecture of remarkable geometric regularity: It consists of about twenty layers of ground substance in which cylindrical fibers (presumably collagenous) of about 500 Angström diameter are embedded parallel to one another, but with the fiber directions alternating by 90 degrees from layer to layer. The repai...

Yield farming represents an immensely popular asset management activity in decentralized finance (DeFi). It involves supplying, borrowing, or staking crypto assets to earn income forms of transaction fees, interest, participation rewards at different DeFi marketplaces. In this systematic survey, we present yield protocols as aggregation-layer constituent the wider ecosystem that interact with p...

Two-layer equatorial primitive equations for the free troposphere in the presence of a thin atmospheric boundary layer and thermal dissipation are developed here. An asymptotic theory for the resonant nonlinear interaction of long equatorial baroclinic and barotropic Rossby waves is derived in the presence of such dissipation. In this model, a self-consistent asymptotic derivation establishes t...
