Small solar system bodies, such as asteroids and comets, are of significant interest to the scientific community. These small bodies offer great insight into the early formation of the solar system. Of particular interest are those near-Earth asteroids (NEA) which inhabit heliocentric orbits in...
Understanding how protection strategies influence the genetic diversity of endangered species can benefit conservation and research efforts. Recent expansion of Bezà Mahafaly Special Reserve (BMSR) in southwest Madagascar to include distinct areas that allow varying levels of human activity...
Rationale. Photorhabdus asymbiotica (Pa) is a Gram-negative bacterial pathogen that efficiently infects both insects and humans (skin ulcer). Apart from apoptosis induction and septicemia by variety of toxin effectors, quorum sensing/interbacterial communication mediated by PauR gene is yet...
The influence of the American Revolution on the French Revolution is a topic that has received ample attention since Americans first saw the reflections of themselves as the events in France unfolded in the late eighteenth century. However, these analyses often focus on the key players of both...
The multitude of sects in Lebanon, compounded by a decentralized government, has led to a highly fragmented society. Largely influenced by their roles during the state’s historical development, sects maintain different nationalist viewpoints, influencing their political ambitions and decisions....
BACKGROUND:
Voice training for transgender and gender nonconforming individuals is in demand, yet is often inaccessible- especially for individuals of minority race or socioeconomic status.
To reduce the identified access barriers of cost, availability, and general knowledge of services,...
Due to the importance of understanding behavior of blood flow in curved arteries, we experimentally modeled the flow of blood analog fluids through curved vessels. The curvature deviates the primary flow and causes the formation of helical motions inside the vessels, i.e. vortices. These vortices...
As lack of access to clean drinking water continues to be a problem, especially in rural areas and developing
countries, the challenge of finding innovative ways to treat drinking water in secluded areas with few
resources must be met. Additionally, the presence of persistent and emerging...
How much must be known about a disease, the human body, and the relationships between the two in order to treat that disease successfully? One of the major debates in the philosophy of biology is centered on the understanding of scientific processes and how those processes can be explained when...
Ultrasound has been embraced as a non-invasive, well-understood and relatively inexpensive tool for
diagnostic and therapeutic purposes compared to other imaging modalities such as computed
tomography, positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. However, this
modality suffers...
