Determining the upper treeline is certainly one of the most interesting research challenges in comparative high mountain research. Careful compilations (Hermes 1955; von Wissmann 1961; Schickhoff 2005) have documented that the highest treelines in the northern hemisphere are found on the eastern declivity of the Tibetan Highlands. However, regional and global synopses of upper treeline altitude...

This paper comprises two parts. The first part is an introduction to Auriol’s moderate conceptualism, as it presented in his Commentary on Book II of the Sentences, distinction 9, question 2, article 1. second edition text. In introduction, I focus use noetic tool connotation. My thesis, particular, that connotation a necessary prerequisite conceptualism. To this purpose, will be devoted brief...

Many researches have been conducted in experimental models in order to study the development of atherosclerosis from hyperlipidemia-inducing diets. Since rabbits are very sensitive to cholesterol-rich diets and accumulate large amounts of cholesterol in their plasma, their use as experimental models to evaluate the development of atherosclerosis is highly relevant and brings information on fact...

Macrophages can change their phenotype in response to environmental cues. Polarized macrophages are broadly classified into two groups: classical activated M1 and alternative activated M2. Characterization of human macrophages has been widely studied, but polarized macrophages in rabbits have not been characterized. We characterized rabbit macrophages that were polarized using human recombinant...

We present a D-term hybrid inflation model, embedded in supergravity with moduli stabilisation. Its novel features allow us to overcome the serious challenges of combining D-term inflation and moduli fields within the same string-motivated theory. One salient point of the model is the positive definite uplifting D-term arising from the moduli stabilisation sector. By coupling thisD-term to the ...

The POX: Save the People game was developed to address some of the core concepts included in curricular frameworks for Science Literacy in the USA. This paper documents our design research, design approach, and prototyping process.
