A high-order accurate quadrature rule for the discretization of boundary integral equations (BIEs) on closed smooth contours in plane is introduced. This can be viewed as a hybrid spectral Kress (Math. Comput. Model. 15(3-5), 229–243 1991) and locally corrected trapezoidal Kapur Rokhlin (SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 34(4), 1331–1356, 1997). The new technique combines strengths both methods, attains con...

The region of northeastern France is affected by low-magnitude background seismicity, with the rare occurrence moderate earthquakes, which gives this a non-negligible seismic risk. We provide an overview seismicity and seismotectonics intraplate domain its sub-regions: Upper-Rhine Graben (URG), external range foreland Jura, Vosges, northern southern Belgium. Previously published catalogues over...

246 Abstract Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is an economically important viral disease of chickens with worldwide distribution which suppresses the immune system of young chickens. VP2 is the major host-protective protein of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). The encoding region of VP2 protein was PCR amplified from a plasmid containing a cDNA fragment of large genomic segment of IBDV, st...

Cytokine-dependent induction of E-selectin expression is mediated through cooperative signaling involving the Ras/Raf/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. We previously reported that metastatic tumor cells entering the hepaticcirculation rapidly induce a cytokine cascade leading to E-selectin induction (A-M. Khatib, et al., Cancer Res., 59:1356-1361, 1999).Here, we investigated the effect ...

Organisations are becoming increasingly aware of the need to include the concepts of economic, social and environmental sustainability within their different management models. To help them achieve this, they have a number of different CSR management tools available to them. However, despite offering recommendations on how and where to contemplate the concepts of sustainability within organisat...

Three dimensional rapid large depth range imaging of the anterior segments of the human eye by an optical frequency domain imaging system is presented. The tunable source spans from 1217 to 1356 nm with an average output power of 60 mW providing a measured axial resolution of 10 mum in air based on the coherence envelope. The effective depth range is 4 mm, defined as the distance over which the...

The use of shellfish aquaculture for nutrient removal and reduction of coastal eutrophication has been proposed. Published literature has indicated that nitrogen contained in harvested shellfish can be accurately estimated from shell length:nitrogen content ratios. The range of nitrogen that could be removed by a typical farm in a specific estuarine or coastal setting is also of interest to reg...
