The response of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) to changing climate forcings is an important driver of sea-level changes. Anthropogenic climate change may drive a sizeable AIS tipping point response with subsequent increases in coastal flooding risks. Many studies analyzing flood risks use simple models to project the future responses of AIS and its sea-level contributions. These analyses have pr...

The exponential increase of multimedia services by the mobile users requires seamless connectivity with costeffective Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning. For providing such on-demand QoS, the network needs to utilize the radio channels among the Mobile Hosts (MHs) effectively. We use vector genetic algorithm (VGA) for temporal imploration of sharable channel(s) from the neighbouring cell(s) ...

We have shown previously that the mucins of the human pancreatic cancer cell line, SVV1990, have both sialyl-Lewis" and sialyl-Lewis* car bohydrate ligands that are implicated in tumor cell metastasis. In the present study, we undertook to identify the protein core of these mucins. SW1990 mucins that carry sialyl-Lewis" and sialyl-Lewis" bound to the MIO peptide-specific m Vb 139H2. Removal of ...

A simple, rapid and sensitive HPLC method for the quantification of quinidine in human plasma has been developed and validated. Quinidine was separated on a C18 column under isocratic conditions using a mobile phase of 85:15 (v/v) 0.2% formic acid and acetonitrile. In these chromatographic conditions, the retention time of quinidine was 1.2 min and the overall time of one analysis was 1.6 min. ...

The fastest projected rates of sea level rise appear in models which include “the marine ice cliff instability (MICI),” a hypothesized but mostly unobserved process defined by rapid fracture and wastage terminal cliffs that outpaces viscous relaxation ice-shelf formation. Crane Glacier's response to the Larsen B Ice Shelf collapse has been invoked as evidence MICI observational record. Using av...
