Plants are not passive victims of the myriad attackers that rely on them for nutrition. They have a suite of physical and chemical defences, and are even able to take advantage of the enemies of their enemies. These strategies are often only deployed upon attack, so may lead to indirect interactions between herbivores and phytopathogens. In this study we test for induced responses in wild popul...

our aim was to report techniques and our experience in one-stage angioplasty and stenting of ostium of left common carotid and left internal carotid arteries in an octogenarian man with transient ischemic attack, who was completely recovered from neurologic insults short time after the procedure. an 81-year-old man presented with a transient ischemic attack. neurologic examination showed left s...

INTRODUCTION In the preceding years to the terrorist attacks in the United States of September 11th, 2001, the chemical industry focused its process safety activities on accidental release risks. Rarely, if ever, was consideration given to the risk of intentional release, or beyond that, the differences in the nature of such a release. This was most likely due to a perception that these risks w...

Crevice corrosion material loss is often most severe at intermediate distances into the crevice. This intermediate attack can be rationalized using the ohmic drop model of Pickering if and only if the material in question exhibits active/passive behavior in the crevice environment. Conventional theories that ascribe control of crevice corrosion to chemical changes exclusively cannot rationalize...
