The best ground-based astronomical sites in terms of telescope sensitivity at infrared and submillimeter wavelengths are located on the Antarctic Plateau, where high atmospheric transparency and low sky emission are obtained because of the extremely cold and dry air; these benefits are well characterized at the South Pole station. The relative advantages offered by three potentially superior si...

[1] We use polarimetric radar observations to study the distribution, depth, and embedded rock abundance of nearside lunar pyroclastic deposits. Radar images were obtained for Mare Vaporum and the southern half of Mare Serenitatis; the imaged areas contain the large Rima Bode, Mare Vaporum, Sulpicius Gallus, and Taurus-Littrow pyroclastic deposits. Potential pyroclastic deposits at Rima Hyginus...

Aminoglycoside antibiotics are widely used clinically for a treatment of Gram-negative bacterial infection by the inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis. However, the aminoglycosides have clinical side effects such as nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity for a long-term treatment. Here we evaluated a simple and useful method for screening a new aminoglycoside without or less nephrotoxicity using L...

The author uses a dome-binding suture to reform the heavy appearance of the boxy nasal tip by reshaping the convex lower lateral cartilage into a more refined concave shape. This procedure is performed with a straight needle and permanent suture, undermining of dome mucosa, meticulous contamination prevention, and incremental lowering of the unitized dome height for tip refinement. (Aesthetic S...

Abstract The class of A V 3 Sb 5 ( =K, Rb, Cs) kagome metals hosts unconventional charge density wave states seemingly intertwined with their low temperature superconducting phases. nature the coupling between these two and potential presence nearby, competing instabilities however remain open questions. This phenomenology is strikingly highlighted by formation ‘domes’ in transition upon hole-d...

The San Francisco City Hall was open for all participants the whole evening. The building was fi rst open to public in 1915. Its dome, which owes much to Mansart‘s Baroque dome of Les Invalides, Paris, is the fi fth largest dome in the world. The City Hall was build by Arthur Brown Jr. who also designed San Francisco‘s War Memorial Opera House, Veterans Building, Temple Emanuel, Coit Tower and ...

Preliminary site testing datasets suggest that Dome C in Antarctica is one of the best sites on Earth for astronomical observations in the 200 to 500-μm regime, i.e. for far-infrared (FIR) and submillimetre (submm) astronomy. We present an overview of potential science cases that could be addressed with a large telescope facility at Dome C. This paper also includes a presentation of the current...

OBJECT Endovascular treatment with Guglielmi detachable coil has been developed as a less invasive treatment for cerebral aneurysm. The aim of this study is to clarify the mechanism of the preventive effect of coil embolization. METHOD Two aneurysm models were employed. One was a T-shaped bifurcation tube with a spherical dome made of glass, which was used for the measurement of pressure and ...
