The Blake Ridge Diapir is the southernmost of a line of salt diapirs along the Carolina trough. Diapirs cause faulting of the superjacent sediments, creating pathways for migration of fluids and gas to the seafloor. We analyzed reflection seismic data from the Blake Ridge Diapir, which is located in a region with known abundant gas hydrate occurrence. A striking feature in these data is a signi...

The British Society for Rheumatology (BSR) established a register of patients newly treated with biological agents, the BSR Biologics Register (BSRBR), which became active in January 2002. The goal is to register all patients in the United Kingdom with rheumatic diseases, newly starting treatment with these agents and to follow them up to determine the incidence of any short and long term hazar...

Basal Stem Rot (BSR), a disease caused by Ganoderma boninense (G. boninense), has posed significant concern for the oil palm industry, particularly in Southeast Asia, as it potential to cause substantial economic losses. The breeding programme is currently searching G. boninense-resistant planting materials, which necessitated intense manual screening nursery track progression of development re...

The effect of phosphorylation on the conformation of the regulatory light chain (cRLC) region of myosin in ventricular trabeculae from rat heart was determined by polarized fluorescence from thiophosphorylated cRLCs labelled with bifunctional sulforhodamine (BSR). Less than 5% of cRLCs were endogenously phosphorylated in this preparation, and similarly low values of basal cRLC phosphorylation w...

Let A, B be two regular commutative unital Banach algebras such that B is integral over A. In 2003, Dawson and Feinstein showed that the topological stable rank tsr(B) = 1 whenever tsr(A) = 1. In this note, we investigate whether we will have tsr(A) = tsr(B) in general. For instance, when A is a commutative unital C∗-algebra, we show that tsr(A) ≤ tsr(B), and the equality holds at least when th...

Penyakit reput pangkal batang (BSR) yang berpunca daripada kulat fitopatogen Ganoderma boninense merupakan ancaman terbesar kepada tanaman kelapa sawit di Malaysia. BSR menyebabkan pengurangan hasil tandan dan kematian terhadap pokok terjangkit, seterusnya kerugian besar ekonomi negara pengeluar. Penggunaan racun kimia juga telah diaplikasikan bagi menangani BSR, namun begitu, kaedah ini tidak ...

Most experiments show that gas hydrates are often enriched in C 2+ gases relative to the feeding source because of fractionation during hydrate crystallization directly from free and dissolved gases. However, sediments below near base stability zone (BGHSZ) many ocean drilling program (ODP)/International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) sites relatively hydrocarbon gases, compared with hydrate-oc...
