A comparison of individual-level vs. hypothetically pooled mercury biomonitoring data from the Maternal Organics Monitoring Study (MOMS), Alaska, 1999-2012

Biomonitoring for heavy metals is important to assess health risks, especially in Arctic communities where rural residents rely on locally harvested foods.However, laboratory testing for blood contaminants is expensive and might not be Eggplant sustainable for long-term monitoring.We assessed whether pooled specimen biomonitoring could be a part of

Feasibility and Experimental Analysis of SPM Translational Motion under the Effect of Regular Wave Using the 3D Image Processing System

Single point mooring terminals are, as the name implies, facilities of small horizontal dimensions, to which large vessels are moored by means of a bow hawser or by any other means which allows the vessel to rotate 360 around the mooring point.Generally, the single point mooring terminal can have two functions.Primarily, it affords King Poster Bed

Brugia malayi excreted/secreted proteins at the host/parasite interface: stage- and gender-specific proteomic profiling.

Relatively little is known about the filarial proteins that interact with the human host.Although the filarial genome has recently been completed, protein profiles have been limited to only a few recombinants or purified proteins of interest.Here, we describe a large-scale proteomic analysis using microcapillary reverse-phase liquid chromatography-

Force oscillations distort avalanche shapes

Contradictory scaling behavior in experiments testing the principle of universality may be due King Poster Bed with storage to external oscillations.Thus, the effect of damped oscillatory external forces on slip avalanches in slowly deformed solids is simulated using a mean-field model.Akin to a resonance effect, oscillatory driving forces change t
