BACKGROUND Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) of the Beaufort Sea enter hyperphagia in spring and gain fat reserves to survive periods of low prey availability. We collected information on seals killed by polar bears (n=650) and hunting attempts on ringed seal (Pusa hispida) lairs (n=1396) observed from a helicopter during polar bear mark-recapture studies in the eastern Beaufort Sea in spring in 19...

While high-throughput planar patch-clamp instruments are now established to perform whole-cell recordings for drug screening, the conventional micropipette-based approach remains the gold standard for performing cell-attached single-channel recordings. Generally, planar platforms are not well-suited for such studies due to excess noise resulting from low seal resistances and the use of substrat...

in analyzing and explaining seal of prophethood as a doctrine, almost all scholars who have dealt with this issue considerhuman intellectual maturityas the main criterion and the secret of the emergent finality.the present article explains and analyzes the proposed approaches and perceptions regarding intellectual maturity and thus aims toreview this idea critically.as a result,the study shows ...

Measurement of fault rock and seal rock flow properties presents considerable problems, even in the controlled conditions of the laboratory. Estimating of the sealing capacity and rate of leakage across faults or shale layers is an even greater challenge. The purpose of this contribution is to examine, with examples, how a combination of existing and novel petrophysical methods could reduce unc...

In this paper quantum seals will be introduced. A quantum seal is a way of encoding a classical message into quantum states, so that everybody can read the message error-free, but at the same time the sender and all intended readers who have some prior knowledge of the quantum seal, can check if the seal has been broken and the message read. The verification is done without reading nor disturbi...

An ideal endodontic sealer should have many properties such as excellent seal after setting, dimensional stability, slow setting time to ensure sufficient working time, insolubility to tissue fluids, adequate adhesion with canal walls and biocompatibility. Genotoxicity is one of the important factors that influence biocompatibility of an endodontic sealer. This literature review was conducted t...

A method of making an interactive medical implant identification device with a radio frequency identification tag mounted on an implant, the tag being covered with a liquid impermeable seal. The identification of the RFID tag using Touch probe operating at a frequency of 125 KHz is directed towards the integration and the management of medical information. This is comprised of labeling the medi...
