Abstract In marine basins, gas hydrate systems are usually identified by a bottom simulating reflection (BSR) that parallels the seafloor and coincides with base of stability zone (GHSZ). We present newly discovered system, Moby-Dick, located in Ship Basin northern Gulf Mexico. seismic data, we observe channel-levee complex consistent phase reversal BSR extending over an area ?14.2 km2, strongl...

Background: Monotherapy with methotrexate (MTX) is one first-line option for newly diagnosed Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) 1 . Although treatment usually commenced by a specialist, repeat prescribing and monitoring responsibilities often lie primary care. While inadequate safety concern, unnecessary duplication of invariably has cost implications General Practice (GP). Objectives: To ensure that pa...

Background Correct interpretation of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) requires thorough knowledge of normal anatomy, but several authors report deficiencies in anatomy skills among rheumatologists. Cadaver-based anatomy review courses improve clinical and injection skills, but the value of such courses in MSUS training is unclear. During 2010-12 we delivered two cadaver based, MSUS anatomy cou...

Seismic analysis of data from the Blake Outer Ridge indicates the presence of hydratebearing sediments overlaying gas-saturated sediments in this region. In an attempt to determine possible lateral and vertical variations of the hydrate and gas sediments, I performed a 2-D velocity analysis along two approximately perpendicular seismic lines. Subsequent determination of the seafloor and BSR ref...

Received Jul 18, 2017 Revised Oct 20, 2017 Accepted Nov 14, 2017 In this paper, reconfigurable metamaterial structure at millimeter wave frequency range was designed and simulated for a future fifth generation (5G) mobile-phone beam switching applications. The new proposed structure was composed of a bridge-shaped resonator (BSR) in the front face and strip line at the back face of the unit cel...

Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is an important disease of canola (Brassica napus) in western Canada and worldwide. In this study, a clubroot resistance gene (Rcr2) was identified and fine mapped in Chinese cabbage cv. "Jazz" using single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) markers identified from bulked segregant RNA sequencing (BSR-Seq) and molecular markers were developed for use in...

PURPOSE Carrying out the chemical composition and antiproliferative effects against cancer cells from different biological parts of Artemisia herba alba. METHODS Essential oils were studied by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and their antitumoral activity was tested against P815 mastocytoma and BSR kidney carcinoma cell lines; also, in order to evaluate the effect on n...

The subclinical form of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) shows nonspecific clinical manifestations, with difficulties being frequently met in its clinical characterization and diagnostic confirmation. Thus, the objective of the present study was to define the clinical-laboratory profile of this clinical form. A cohort study was conducted in the state of Maranhão, Brazil, from January/1998 to Decembe...
