We show that simultaneous surface resolution is not always possible in a cyclic extension whose degree is greater than three and is not divisible by the characteristic. This answers a recent question of Ted Chinburg. Section 1: Introduction Let K be a two dimensional algebraic function field over an algebraically closed ground field k. Recall that K/k has a minimal model means that amongst all ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether the saccule exhibits temporary or permanent functional loss resembling threshold shifts in auditory brainstem response (ABR) of guinea pigs following noise exposure. DESIGN Randomly bred guinea pigs were divided into 3 groups: A (short-term noise exposure, 30 minutes, n = 15), B (long-term noise exposure, 40 hours, n = 9), and C (no noise exposure, n = 5). S...

Dear Editor, Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can arise after exposure to a terrifying event/ordeal in which severe physical harm occurred or was about to happen. PTSD symptoms include persistent re-experience of the trauma, avo idance o f t rauma-assoc ia ted s t imul i , and hyperarousal.

Do I or do not have the right to tell my story?
 This is question asked at 2020 talk on Creativity in Protesting Islamic Fundamentalism TedX Warwick’s within Crisis event. Ironically, censorship of ex-Muslims was itself censored by TedX, first its refusal publish due ‘political content’ and then publishing after public pressure but without any slides – addition a trigger warning: ‘Some vie...

The RNA of satellite tobacco necrosis virus (STNV) is a monocistronic messenger that lacks both a cap and a poly(A) tail. Translation of STNV RNA in vitro is promoted by a 120-nt translational enhancer domain (TED) in the 3'-untranslated region. TED also stimulates translation of heterologous mRNAs. In this study, we show that TED stimulates translation of a cat mRNA by increasing translation e...
