Marine reserves are an important management tool for conserving local biodiversity and protecting fragile ecosystems such as seagrass that provide significant ecological functions and services to people and the marine environment.With humans placing ever-growing pressure on seagrass habitats, marine reserves also provide an important reference from

Abstract Background Cancer patients experience increased risk of death from accident and suicide.Cognitive impairment induced by cancer-related inflammation and stress-related psychiatric symptoms may be underlying mechanisms.We therefore studied the association between use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and risk of these outcomes

Pears of different varieties were compressed between two flat rigid plates in loading/unloading tests.The bruise spots appearing after room temperature incubation were analysed manually, and bruise spot volumes were determined.The main parts of the paper discuss mathematical approximation of total bruise volume versus two deformation parameters def

Both theoretical predictions and experimental findings suggest that T cell populations can compete with each other.There is some debate on whether T cells compete for aspecific stimuli, such GHOST CONDITIONER as access to the surface on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) or for specific stimuli, such as their cognate epitope ligand.We have developed a
