Hepatolenticular degeneration, a condition inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion, is generally thought to be due to a biochemical defect associated with the retention of copper in the tissues, principally the brain, liver, and kidneys, an increased excretion of the metal in the urine, and a low level of caeruloplasmin, the copper-binding alpha-globulin in the plasma. A number of products ...

According to Canadian taxfiler data, over the last thirty years there has been a surge in the income shares of the top 1%, top 0.1% and top 0.01% of income recipients, even with longitudinal smoothing by individual using three- or five-year moving averages. Top shares fell in 2008 and 2009, but only by a fraction of the overall surge. Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario have much more pronou...

We present global and regional correlations between whole-rock values of Sr/Y and La/Yb and crustal thickness for intermediate rocks from modern subduction-related magmatic arcs formed around the Pacific. These correlations bolster earlier ideas that various geochemical parameters can be used to track changes of crustal thickness through time in ancient subduction systems. Inferred crustal thic...
