Most anthropogenic pollution can be controlled, such as domestic and industrial releases, loads from agriculture, etc. However, some of them, which are associated to illegal discharges, accidents, etc., more difficult forecast. This study was performed on the Tereos sugar industry accident that occurred during night 9 April 2020, when 88,000 cubic meters effluents loaded with organic matter dis...

This paper presents a new complete field mapping of glacial landscapes, landforms and sediments in the Faroe Islands, supplemented by observations from bathymetric maps Shelf. In addition, previous investigations Quaternary espe-cially Weichselian glaciation archipelago are reviewed. New cosmogenic nuclide exposure ages indicate that last extensive Islands occurred during Late Weichselian, most...

According to current concepts, oxysterols are the physiological mediators of a number of cholesterolinduced metabolic effects (for a review, see Bjorkhem et al1). Most of the evidence for this is however still indirect, and there is a discrepancy between the great number of studies demonstrating potent effects of oxysterols under in vitro conditions and the few studies consistent with a regulat...

" Doubtless," quoth the author of'Hudibras,' "the pleasure is as great of being cheated as to cheat." Is not this, in fact, the true philosophy of that dallying with the pseudo-marvellous which of late has been so much in vogue ? Credulity, indeed, as Dean Swift happily remarked, is a much more peaceful possession of the mind than Curiosity. It might have been supposed that, after the many expo...

21 FEBRUARY 1958 ing number of scientific contributions but also with the impact of science on society. The principal advances of science and its applications have been reported and assessed in Science and other AAAS publications. The annual meeting also has reflected the major trends of scientific thought and, directly or indirectly, matters of import in the nation and the world. This was espe...

apparently had some qualms) there can be disagreement; since further experience will doubtless settle these questions, there is no point discussing any of them here. The text is divided into twenty chapters, grouped in three units, on nutrition, metabolism, and growth and development. The first unit treats photosynthesis, mineral and water relations, and translocation. The second part includes ...

The main question of the given work is whether the propagation speed of snow avalanches can be determined using seismic observations. The significance of having at least an order of magnitude estimate of this basic physical parameter is doubtless: in order to reduce the risks associated with this frequently occurring natural phenomena it is crucial to design the constructions (including protect...

ABSTRACT Uveal melanoma is the most common primary malignancy of the eye in white adults. Frequently, uveal melanoma arises from choroid or iris. Ciliary body melanoma is a rare if not exceptional subtype of uveal melanoma. Furthermore, ciliary melanoma is often seen in association with the other two subtypes of uveal melanoma. This paper presents a case of primary ciliary melanoma with invasio...

This review considers critically the evidence for the involvement of mediators of innate and acquired immunity in various stages of atherosclerosis. Rapidly mobilized arms of innate immunity, including phagocytic leukocytes, complement, and proinflammatory cytokines, contribute to atherogenesis. In addition, adaptive immunity, with its T cells, antibodies, and immunoregulatory cytokines, powerf...

Texas contains a rich but still poorly known cavernicole fauna. Approximately 1,040 terrestrial and 150 aquatic species have been recorded from the state. This number will doubtless greatly increase when large collections, especially of mites, centipedes, and miscellaneous insects, are identified and described. An estimated 81 aquatic and 161 terrestrial species are believed to be sufficiently ...
