Measurements of the spin-spin relaxation time and of the effective, lattice-induced, transition probabilities are reported for magnetically dilute potassium chromicyanide in chemically analyzed concentrations ranging nfrom 0.06 to 1.5%. In these measurements the c-axis of the cobalticyanide matrix was parallel…

Aggressive epithelial cancer cells frequentlyadopt mesenchymal characteristics and exhibitaberrant interactions with their surroundings,including the vasculature. Whether therelease/uptake of extracellular vesicles (EVs)plays a role during these processes has not beenstudied. EVs are heterogeneous membranestructures that originate either at the surface(microparticles), or…

primary and metastatic brain tumors evolve and progress. While brain tumor cells express tissue factor (TF) and other effectors of the coagulation system (coagulome), their propensity to induce local and peripheral thrombosis is highly diverse, most dramatic in the case…

As the younger generation of born digital library users and even well-established scholars rely increasingly on Google, or its new products Google Scholar and Google Book, for information resource discovery and access, libraries are finding it increasingly difficult to ensure…

Four teachers & their eight classes of 179 5th-grade (10-11-year-old) students participated in this quasi-experimental classroom study, which investigated the effects of form-focused instruction (FFI) & corrective feedback on immersion students' ability to accurately assign grammatical gender in French. The…

The undergraduate law curriculum adopted at McGill University in 1998—the transsystemic programme—was born of the unique political, social, and intellectual histories of its Faculty of Law. This essay reviews these contexts and characterizes the programme as an ongoing conversation about…

The connection between the long process and the lenticular process of the incus is extremely fine, so much so that some authors have treated the lenticular process as a separate bone. We review descriptions of the lenticular process that have…

Increasing evidence indicates that RNA interference (RNAi) may be used to provide antiviral immunity in mammalian cells. Human micro (mi)RNAs can inhibit the replication of a primate virus, whereas a virally-encoded miRNA from HIV inhibits its own replication. Indirect proof…

La gestión de pesquerías tiene un gran impacto a muchos niveles: biológico, económico, social y político con gran incertidumbre sobre las relaciones entre el clima, los peces y las decisiones de gestión. Esta tesis doctoral, dirigida por Jose A. Lozano,…

Los flujos multifásicos son, en general, difíciles de modelar. En concreto, los lechos fluidizados burbujeantes son incluso más complejos debido a la presencia de burbujas (aparte de las partículas y de la corriente principal del gas) que aparecen cuando las…
