The Royal Menagerie of England was established at the Tower of London in the 13th Century and served as a home of exotic animals until it was closed on behalf of the Duke of Wellington in 1835. Two well-preserved lion skulls recovered from the moat of the Tower of London were recently radiocarbon-dated to AD 1280-1385 and AD 1420-1480, making them the earliest con rmed lion remains in the Brit...

horse shoe shaped lipoma of the upper extremity is a very rare entity. we present a case of 45 years old female who presented with painless progressive swelling over the distal forearm and tingling and numbness over the ulnar nerve territory. mri and surgical exploration showed a horse shoe shaped multilobulated lipoma encasing the distal ulna. the mass was excised in toto, and the sensory alte...

When an indefinite newly introduces or reintroduces an accessible referent into the discourse, it is called specific. Thus, in (1a), it can be coreferential with a lion in the previous sentence, which indicates a particular lion in the relevant situation. By contrast, a nonspecific indefinite has no specific referent at all, as is illustrated in (1b), where a lion can be any lion. In that case,...

We present an algorithm which splits a 3D surface into reliefs, relatively flat regions that have smooth boundaries. The surface is then resampled in a regular manner within each of the reliefs. As a result, we obtain a piecewise regular mesh (PRM), having a regular structure on large regions. Experimental results show that we are able to approximate the input surface with the mean square error...

The paper proposes a computer-oriented interpretation of the laws ruling the elevation of gures in basor high-relief sculptures, and presents some simple algorithms and a prototypal, public-domain software tool for the generation of 3D basand high-reliefs starting from 3D surface models.

We have examined the apolipoprotein content of the lipoproteins of several marine mammals by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Their apolipoprotein (apo) B-100, apoB-48, and apoA-I migrated to virtually the same position as the comparable human apolipoproteins. In cetaceans (bottlenose dolphins and killer whales), the molecular mass of the apoE was identical to that of ...

We study the well-known lion-and-man game in which a lion (the pursuer) tries to capture a man (the evader). The players have equal speed and they can observe each other at all times. In this paper, we study the game on the surface of convex terrains. We show that the lion can capture the man in finite number of steps which is a function of the terrain geometry.

caspian miniature horse is a rare small horse in iran. in this horse, brachiocephalic trunk originates from the craniodorsal of the convex part of the aortic arch. it supplies the head, neck, forelimbs and cranial part of the thoracic cavity. in this reseach topographical location of brachiocephalic trunk arising from the aorta and its ramifications have been studied. five caspian miniature hor...
