The s tudy of an induced epidemic of spontaneous tuberculosis in guinea pigs, the results of which have been reported in a previous paper (1), has shown tha t the portal of en t ry of the infection is with few exceptions the intestinal tract , the mesenteric lymph nodes being secondarily involved. I t has seemed desirable to determine whe ther the elimination of tubercle bacilli in the fecesof ...

In the southern Tibetan plateau, which is considered to be the ongoing India–Eurasia continental collision zone, tracing of the Indian crustal front beneath Tibet is still controversial. We conducted deep subsurface electrical modeling in southern Tibet and discuss the geometry of the front of the Indian crust. Three areas along the Yarlung-Zangbo river zone for which previous magnetotelluric (...

Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Gansu Corridor of China with distinct geographic and climatic conditions are remote and less disturbed by humans, in which are likely to find some new strains of fungal entomopathogens against B-biotype whiteflies that is a very important invading pest worldwide. In this research, nineteen strains among six species of entomogenous fungi were isolated from the soil samp...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Keywords: cosmogenic 10 Be 21 Ne Tibet climate glacier It has long been observed that the timing of glacial advances is asynchronous across the Himalaya– Karakoram–Tibet Plateau (HKTP) but the climatic implications, if any, remain unclear. Resolving this question requires additional glacial chronologies from unique spatial and climatic regimes as well as an...

[1] We measure an average slip rate of 4 ± 1 mm yr 1 along the Karakorum fault, heretofore considered one of Earth’s greatest strike-slip faults and thought by many to play a key role in Asian deformation kinematics. Levees of a debris flow, and contours of the fan on which it was deposited, have been displaced 40 ± 5 m. Concentrations of Be in boulders from the debris flow yield ages of 11–14 ...

BACKGROUND The induction of miR-210-3p, a master hypoxamir, is a consistent feature of the hypoxic response in both normal and malignant cells. However, whether miR-210-3p acts as a circulating factor in response to a hypoxic environment remains unknown. The current study aimed to examine the effect of a high-altitude hypoxic environment on circulating miR-210-3p. METHODS We examined and comp...

In Summer 1998, a 400 km long seismic refraction profile (INDEPTH III) was shot in Central Tibet. Apart from recording the signals of 11 shots along the line, the stations also recorded a number of local earthquakes more or less in the extension of the line. Record sections and travel time data from both shots and earthquakes were compiled and interpreted jointly. The following peculiarities ar...

Acknowledgments I would like to thank my supervisor: my tough and fruitful PhD years have been characterized by collaborating with Vincenzo Lombardo. I thank the of Turin, and the head of the Center, Bruno Bara: in these years, I took advantage of their support, as well. For what pertains the thesis, I'm truly indebted with Monica Buccia-relli, for her precious advices about the experimentation...
