The syndrome is usually seen in association with midline in utero cranial defects, such as transsphenoidal and basal encephaloceles.

One of the most important, but difficult forecasting problems in northern Australia is to predict the occurrence of deep convection. On occasion, convective storms are triggered along convergence lines that originate as a result of organised mesoscale circulations such as sea-breezes. If one can forecast these lines, it might be possible also to forecast the storms that they initiate. The Gulf ...

For life to survive outside the biosphere, it must be protected from UV light and other radiation by exterior shielding or through sufficient inherent resistance to survive without protection. We tested the plausibility of inherent resistance in plant seeds, reporting in a previous paper that Arabidopsis thaliana and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) seeds exposed for 558 days outside the Internation...
