Laser technology and other energy sources are rapidly finding a place in dermatology clinics. In the field of skin rejuvenation by fractional photothermolysis, although few controlled studies have been undertaken, several devices have emerged in recent years that appear less effective than laser ablation techniques but that are safer. The aim of this short article is to provide an introduction,...

Despite its importance, our knowledge of pathogen transmission by ticks is incomplete. Detailed studies on the transmission, maintenance, infectivity, virulence, and pathogenicity of tick-borne microparasites all require the use of large numbers of live ticks raised under controlled conditions and difficulties in rearing ticks in the laboratory could partly explain the current lack of data. The...

Providing public access to unprotected digital data can pose a threat of unwanted disclosing the restricted information. The problem of protecting such information can be divided into two main subclasses, namely, individual and group data anonymity. By group anonymity we define protecting important data patterns, distributions, and collective features which cannot be determined through analyzin...

In the glass industry, nucleation agents are broadly used to obtain homogeneously dispersed and nanograined crystals during heat treatment leading to glass ceramics. In this paper, the role of zirconia and titania used as nucleation agents in a lithium alumosilicate glass is studied on the nanoscale using cutting edge analytical and imaging techniques performed in the transmission electronmicro...

Resolving a substantial part of the uncertainties underlying the hydrological cause-effect chains, like those involving sudden morphological changes or clogging of critical flow sections, is doubtlessly a major challenge in hazard assessment. On the one hand purely numerical modelling approaches fail to accurately and precisely mirror such a wide rage of complex phenomena on the other hand thro...

When Odysseus left the devastated city of Troy after ten years of siege he could not foresee the perils he still had to face. The encounter with the cyclops, a giant with only one eye placed in the middle of its forehead, was doubtlessly one of the creepiest and most dangerous of his adventures. In the end, Odysseus could only escape with the help of a sheep. Whether Homers cyclops was inspired...

Mobile devices are undergoing considerable progress during recent years. Using these portable devices, people can easily capture and share photos even when they are on the move. Doubtlessly, browsing a large number of images on such small-form-factor devices is still hard and time-consuming, especially when they are distributed across various devices. In this paper, we propose a novel synchroni...

The current investigation utilizes textual analysis approach on Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea in the light of Transculturalism theory proposed by Jeff Lewis (2012). This study paves way to provide hybridity as a product culture and touches theme transculturalism which is compatible with globalization. explores complexity hybrid how this prompts racial identity. It shown that an alleged myth wes...

Abstract The description of Pseudometeorina eratosthenica sp. nov. from the eastern Mediterranean Eratosthenes Seamount was release for a detailed phylogenetic comparison group derived representatives family Idyanthidae Lang, 1944, namely Aspinothorax Moura & Martínez Arbizu, 2003, Meteorina George, 2004, George Wiest, 2015, and Styracothorax Huys, 1993. named genera share presence 2-segmen...

Welby’s correspondence with Peirce began his review of What is Meaning? (1903), a contribution not only to spreading Peirce’s later thinking, but also reproposing “significs.” This encounter between the pragmatist approach semiotic and significs oriented by mother-sense. A dialogue two conceptions meaning which, notwithstanding differences, meet in participative constructing sign sciences – fro...
