Abstract The Paleoarchean Mt Edgar dome in the East Pilbara Terrane has long been studied as an archetypal within Archean dome‐and‐keel terranes, but history of its formation is debated. Kinematic data presented this study provide new insights into late‐stage development and Terrane. Quartz crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO), optical microstructures, field structures all indicate that...

Introduction: Previous studies have shown that the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) used in total disc replacement (TDR) will oxidize during shelf storage and following implantation1 for components gamma sterilized in air and in first-generation barrier packaging. Specifically, the areas that readily have access to bodily fluids and tissues (i.e. the rim of the Charité TDR) oxi...

The tail of bacteriophage T4 consists of a contractile sheath surrounding a rigid tube and terminating in a multiprotein baseplate, to which the long and short tail fibers of the phage are attached. Upon binding of the fibers to their cell receptors, the baseplate undergoes a large conformational switch, which initiates sheath contraction and culminates in transfer of the phage DNA from the cap...
