Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean ranges from thin new ice to thick deformed ridges.Changes in thickness are due to melting and freezing, and to physical rearrangement of existing ice to form leads and pressure ridges.As a brittle solid, fractures are created when the ice cover moves and deforms.Openings along fractures Pinatas are sites of local heat ex
Analytical and Finite Element Modeling of Nanomembranes for Miniaturized, Continuous Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis involves large, periodic treatment doses using large-area membranes.If the permeability of dialysis membranes could be increased, it would reduce the necessary dialyzer size and could enable a wearable device that administers a continuous, low dose treatment of chronic kidney disease.This paper explores the application of ultrathin sil
Chyluria: what does the clinician need to know?
Chyluria is secondary to the presence of chyle in the urine.The classical appearance on inspection is of milky white urine, which is caused by a fistulous communication between WITCH HAZEL DISTILLATE the lymphatic system and the urinary tract.Worldwide, it is most commonly associated with the parasite Wuchereria bancrofti , which is prevalent in As
Human Rights Protection in UN Peace Operations: A Case Study of the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Despite the presence of UN peace operations for more than two decades, the human rights situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is still dire.This article illustrates the types of violations of human rights and hindrances to protect human rights in MONUSCO.Methodologically being a qualitative study, it is based on existing literature and
Dynamic trans interactions in yeast chromosomes.
Three-dimensional organization of the genome is important for regulation of gene expression and maintenance of genomic stability.It also defines, and is defined by, contacts between different chromosomal loci.Interactions between loci positioned on different chromosomes, i.e."trans" interactions are one type of such contacts.Here, we describe a Sho
