Postmortem study of proliferative glomerulonephritis associated with human systemic lumpus has previously shown that an antigen related to mammalian type C RNA viral core (p30) proteins is deposited in the renal glomerular lesions with human immunoglobulins in an immune-complex pattern. In the present work, human immunoglobulins were sequentially eluted from the lupus glomerular immune deposits...

BACKGROUND Occasional case reports of membranous glomerulopathy described unique subepithelial accumulations of an unusual type of immune deposit composed of spherular structures. The identity of such structures as nuclear pores has been suggested, but not established. METHODS We identified a cohort of patients (n = 14, including 1 patient with disease recurrence in an allograft) who presente...

Tyrosinemia type II (Richner-Hanhart syndrome) is a rare autosomal recessive disease with deficiency of tyrosine aminotransferase and subsequently increasing level of serum tyrosine. We report the case of a 2-year-old girl who was referred due to bilateral corneal lesions. Slit-lamp examination showed small granular white deposits arranged in a dendritic pattern in the superficial central corne...

Hyperspectral remote sensing records reflectance or emittance data in a large sum of contiguous and narrow spectral bands, and thus has many information in detecting and mapping the mineral zones. On the other hand, the geological and geophysical data gives us some other fruitful information about the physical characteristics of soil and minerals that have been recorded from the surface. ...

lag is a general term applied to coarse grained (> 2 mm), hard, but partially weathered rockfragments, which are concentrated at the surface through attrition of finer materials. based on morphology,mineralogy and the origin of lag from the cobar region of australia, lag may be conveniently grouped intothree broad morpho-mineralogical categories; (a) those with a rough, blocky, lithic morpholog...

Kushk zinc- lead deposit is located about 167 km east of the city of Yazd, Iran. The geographical location of the mine is 31°, 40' N and 55", 40' E. Different rock types including volcanics and subvolcanics (rhyolites, rhyodacites, dacites, and rhyolitic tuffs) and sedimentary rocks (shale, limestones and dolomites) crop out in the area. Mineralization of the deposit occurs in black shale o...

Supraglacial deposits are known for their influence on glacier ablation. The magnitude of this influence depends on the thickness and the type of the deposited material. The effects of thin layers of atmospheric black carbon and of thick moraine debris have been intensively studied. Studies related to regional-scale deposits of volcanic tephra with thicknesses varying between millimetres and me...

Introduction: Data acquired over the past 5 years from the Mars Express OMEGA (Observatoire pour la Mineralogie, L'Eau, les Glaces et l'Activitié) [1] and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter CRISM (Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars) [2] show a wide diversity hydrated mineral phases distributed across Mars [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. The increased spatial resolution of CRISM (18 m/p) has lead...

The oxygen-resistant strain of Chlorella sorokiniana (Shihira and Krauss), distinguished by its ability to grow autotrophically under high partial pressures of oxygen, was studied and partially characterized in heterotrophic culture. Ultrastructural analysis of glucose-grown oxygen-resistant strain and wild type cells reveals that osmiophilic deposits (possibly polyphosphate) are present only i...
