intervening in contemporary debates and hoping thereby to shape the future. Despite the occasional plangent note, Chedzgoy’s book celebrates the voices of the women she studies, voices that are often grieving and nostalgic, but also by turns witty, brittle, defiant, erudite, eccentric, and full of pluck. Women’s Writing in the British Atlantic World is a dignified and elegant monument and memor...

investigations of lake umbozero, the second largest and the deepest lake of the murmansk region, were carried out to detect and define biogeochemical patterns of distribution of the chalcophile elements (hg, cd, pb, as) in water, sediments and organs and tissues of whitefishes. lake umbozero is affected by emissions and effluents from mining and metallurgical enterprises of the murmansk region,...

The model has been developed by considering two distinct zones in the downdraft gasifier: pyro-oxidation zone and reduction zone. The process in the pyro-oxidation zone has been solved based on the chemical equilibrium consideration considering water gas shift reaction and methanation reaction. The composition of different species (H2, CO, CO2, CH4, H2O, N2 and Char) and the temperature of the ...

In normal lizards, microglial cells populate the medial cortex (a zone homologous to the hippocampal fascia dentata), with a preferential distribution along the border between the granular cell layer and the plexiform layers. Intraperitoneal injection of the neurotoxin 3-acetylpyridine (3AP) induces a selective lesion in the medial cortex with a rapid degeneration of the granular layer and its ...

In this study, we determined when and through which promoter brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) transcription is regulated during the protracted period of human frontal cortex development. Using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, we examined the expression of the four most abundant alternative 5' exons of the BDNF gene (exons I, II, IV, and VI) in RNA extracted from the pre...
