Schee The scaling of physical forces to the extremely low ambient gravitational acceleration regimes found on the surfaces of small asteroids is performed. Resulting from this, it is found that van der Waals cohesive forces between regolith grain...

D Dark paterae on the jovian satellite Io are evidence of recent volcanic activity. Some paterae appear to be entirely filled with dark volcanic material, while others have only partially darkened floors. Dark paterae have area and heat flow lo...

The study of geometric flows for smoothing, multiscale representation, and analysis of two and three dimensional objects has received much attention in the past few years. In this paper, we first present results mainly related to Euclidean invariant geometric smoothing of three dimensional surfaces. We describe results concerning the smoothing of graphs (images) via level sets of geometric heat...

Background: Mucinous cystadenomas of the liver are rare cystic neoplasms. The aim of this study was to assess management of a consecutive series of patients who underwent laparotomy for a suspected cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma. Secondly, the origin of ovarian stroma (OS) in mucinous liver cystadenomas was examined during early embryonic development. Patients and Methods: Patients diagnosed...

The amine fluoride (AmF) N -octadecyltrimethylendiamineN,N,N -tris(2-ethanol)-dihydrofluoride is a cationic antimicrobial which can have beneficial effects on plaque formation. Here, we determine changes in pellicle and bacterial cell surface properties of the strains Actinomyces naeslundii HM1, Streptococcus mutans NS, S. mutans ATCC 700610, S. sobrinus HG1025 and S. oralis HM1 upon adsorption...

The central sulcus (CS) divides the preand postcentral gyri along the dorsal-ventral plane of which all motor and sensory functions are topographically organized. The motorhand area of the precentral gyrus or KNOB has been described as the anatomical substrate of the hand in humans. Given the importance of the hand in primate evolution, here we examine the evolution of the motor-hand area by co...
