The midintertidal zone of temperate rocky coasts is often dominated by mussels that form dense beds and exclude other primary space holders. The rate at which storms remove mussels from their substrate consequently has a controlling influence on intertidal community structure. The rate of disturbance by waves can be predicted mechanistically by comparing the attachment strength of an organism t...

shwaehman syndrome, next to cystic fibrosis, is the second cause of congenita! exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in children. it appears as steatorrhea, recurrent infections and hematologic abnormalities such as neutropenia, skeletal dysplasia and short stature. in this study, we reviewed 3 patients' histories. all of them showed cellular chemotaxic defect. one of them had been affected by neph...

Understanding the mechanism(s) of solar wind acceleration is important in astrophysics and geophysics. A promising model known as wave/turbulence-driven (WTD) model, which Alfv\'en waves feed energy to wind. In this study, we tested WTD with global measurement speed from interplanetary scintillation (IPS) observations. For Carrington rotations minimal maximal activity phases, selected field lin...

La funzione di spaventare e allontanare gli uccelli da secoli riservata a figure mitologiche o fantocci costruiti in casa si è riversata negli ultimi decenni sugli umani, su quelle persone, nel giudizio comune ghettizzante, sul limitare dell’accettabilità. Gli spaventapasseri, che compaiono tra versi canzoni, albi per bambini scatti famosi, sono quel l’umano il burattino, testimoni delle umane ...
