Fluid and electrolyte transport by epithelial cells in vitro can be recognized by the ability of cultured cells to form domes and by the electrical properties of monolayer cultures. Pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells are thought to be partially responsible for fluid movement in the fetal lung, but their role in electrolyte transport in the adult lung is not known. We isolated alveolar type II ...

We introduce the method of punctured containers, which geometrically relates volumes and centroids of complicated solids to those of simpler punctured prismatic solids. This method goes to the heart of some of the basic properties of the sphere, and extends them in natural and significant ways to solids assembled from cylindrical wedges (Archimedean domes) and to more general solids, especially...

conclusions the axillary arch variation is very clinically important, because it may entrap and implicate the neurovascular bundle. also it is important for surgeons during operation, so they need to be aware of possible presence of such variations. case presentation during routine dissection, we encountered an aberrant slip of muscle and fascia expanded from latissimus dorsi to pectoralis majo...

Three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamic simulations are carried out to explore magnetic reconnections in the presence of 3D nulls and quasi-separatrix layers (QSLs). The initial fields created by superposing uniform vertical two different magnitudes on a linear force-free field. interior numerical box contains with separatrix domes separated quasi-separator (or hyperbolic flux tube) QSLs. In...

Abstract Monolayers (MLs) of transition‐metal dichalcogenides host efficient single‐photon emitters (SPEs) usually associated to the presence nanoscale mechanical deformations or strain. Large‐scale spatial control strain would enhance scalability such SPEs and allow for their incorporation into photonic structures. Here, formation regular arrays strained hydrogen‐filled one‐layer‐thick micro‐d...

Small-scale domes with circumferential aprons and concentric aureoles in western Arcadia Planitia (34–41°N, 167–179°E) near Tyndall crater were examined using a suite of datasets including CRISM, THEMIS IR, HiRISE, CTX. Previous studies based primarily on photogeologic evidence suggested that these analogous to terrestrial felsic cryptodomes extrusive lava domes. The have also been CRISM visibl...

In order to assess the effect of eruption rate on the surface morphology and degassing mechanisms of silicic lava flows, we studied surface characteristics and obtained water content and hydrogen isotopic values of samples from flows at the Mount St. Helens and Santiaguito lava domes. We compared the surface textures and inferred degassing processes to short-term extrusion rates and found that ...
