The transactive response DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) is a major component of the abnormal intracellular inclusions that occur in two common neurodegenerative diseases of humans: (1) a subtype of frontotemporal lobar degeneration and (2) amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.Genetics, experiments in cultured cells and animals, and analogy with other neurod
The Aeolian island of Lipari, just north of eastern Sicily, was a major geological source of high quality obsidian that was volcanically formed in the Late PROTECT AND PREVENT SPRAY Mesolithic, followed by another major production in the 1st millennium AD.A much earlier volcanic event on Lipari also produced some obsidian, but not of sufficient qua
The purpose of this article is to analyze the possibility and feasibility of using forms and methods of scientific and technical support to increase the efficiency of monitoring the properties and states of load-bearing structures.The task is to substantiate and develop an algorithm for assessing and predicting the states of load-bearing structures
Qualitative methods are widely used for the solution of inverse obstacle problems.They allow one to retrieve the morphological properties of the unknown targets from the scattered field by avoiding dealing with the problem in its full non-linearity and considering a simplified mathematical model with a lower computational burden.Very many qualitati
Sloping croplands in karst areas of Southwest China usually contain a multitude of rock outcrops with diameters larger than 25 cm.Rock outcrops and spatial location have substantial effects on soil properties and thus likely affect soil erodibility.Moreover, rock outcropping is a indicator of rocky desertification and has an important impact on soi
