Upper Carboniferous successions in European sedimentary basins contain cyclothems related to glacial cycles of approximately 100 Ky duration. Within the UK Pennine Basin both simple and complex are recognized. In latter, mid-cycle deltas were flooded by sea-level rises, possibly short period orbital forcing events. They followed late cycle forced regression delta channels then incised coarse-gr...

introduction: the implantation is a complex procedure that involves many molecules. one of these molecules is integrin specially &alphav;&beta3; which serves as receptor for components of extra cellular matrix to act as bridging molecules between the blastocyst and the endometrial surface during the implantation process. by blocking &alphav;&beta3; interactions, the implantation can be impaired...

conclusions higher age of cyclists and increasing speed of the accident opponent significantly increase the likelihood of sustaining facial fractures. the use of bicycle helmets does not significantly reduce the incidence of mid-facial fractures, while being correlated with an even increased incidence of mandibular fractures. background the effectiveness of bicycle safety helmets in preventing ...

A group G is said to be n-centralizer if its number of element centralizers $$\mid {{\,\mathrm{Cent}\,}}(G)\mid =n$$ , an F-group every non-central centralizer contains no other and a CA-group all are abelian. For any non-abelian G, we prove that \frac{G}{Z(G)}\mid \le (n-2)^2$$ $$n 12$$ 2(n-4)^{{log}_2^{(n-4)}}$$ otherwise, which improves earlier result. We arbitrary F-group, then gcd $$(n-2, ...

Any student of comparative religion will notice - and seek to identify as well - the points of similarity and difference between various religions. One might even claim that the discipline of “influence studies” has its roots in these discussions of comparison and contrast. However, these discussions persistently fail to address the nuances of particular faiths. Here, I intend to shed some ligh...

We study the relationship between the mid-IR (5-18 µm) emission of late-type galaxies and various other star formation tracers in order to investigate the nature of the dust heating sources in this spectral domain. The analysis is carried out using a sample of 123 normal, late-type, nearby galaxies with available data at several frequencies. The mid-IR luminosity (normalized to the H-band lumin...

BACKGROUND Isogamous organisms lack obvious cytological differences in the gametes of the two complementary mating types. Consequently, it is difficult to ascertain which of the two mating types are homologous when comparing related but sexual isolated strains or species. The colonial volvocalean algal genus Gonium consists of such isogamous organisms with heterothallic mating types designated ...
