Abstract. Surface mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) has accelerated over past decades, mainly due to enhanced surface melting and liquid water runoff in response atmospheric warming. A large portion of GrIS originates exposure darker bare ablation zone when overlying snow melts, where albedo plays a critical role modulating energy available for melting. In this regard, it is imperat...

Psoriasis is a common skin disease that causes itchy scaly patches, most frequently on the knees, elbows and scalp. It affects about 2–3% of people in world. Patients with moderate‐to‐severe cases are often treated drugs called biologics.

BACKGROUND Total elbow arthroplasty is not commonly used in young patients with advanced arthritis because of concerns regarding implant loosening and clinical failure. Until now, to our knowledge, there have only been a few studies on the outcome in younger patients undergoing total elbow arthroplasty. METHODS Twenty-three elbows in patients forty years of age or younger who underwent total ...

This article describes and discusses some properties of the distribution Negative Concord Items (NCIs) in Italo-Romance domain, taking into account both varieties Italian other languages. More precisely, authors examine non-negative contexts, which allow presence NCIs. Across all bare/pronominal NCIs are systematically allowed more contexts than complex ones, modulo behavior specific variety re...

In a cool neutron star (T . 10 K) endowed with a rather high magnetic field (B & 10 G), a phase transition may occur in the outermost layers. As a consequence the neutron star becomes “bare”, i.e. no gaseous atmosphere sits on the top of the crust. The surface of cooling, bare neutron stars not necessary gives off blackbody radiation because of the strong suppression in the emissivity at energi...

There is no reliable failure pressure assessment method for pipe elbows, specifically those subjected to internal and axial compressive stress, other than time-consuming numerical methods, which are impractical in time-critical situations. This paper proposes a set of empirical equations, based on Artificial Neural Networks, the prediction elbows combined loadings. The neural network was traine...
