The intervertebral disc (IVD) is the fibrocartilaginous joint located between each vertebral body that confers flexibility and weight bearing capabilities to the spine.The IVD plays an important role in absorbing shock and stress applied to the spine, which helps to protect not only the vertebral bones, but also the brain and the rest of the GIFTS/
The article proposes the theoretical framework of ventilation processes emerging and going on in the stages of TPP steam turbines during the operating regimes with small-quantity volumetric flow rates in the low-pressure cylinder.The basic theory includes new physicomathematical models for estimating the ventilating capacity losses and ventilation
New Silk Roads and their economic, political and cultural aspects are new components of our modernity.As such, they raise questions and call for new studies.They are best addressed within interdisciplinary approaches exploring a wide range of subjects across a variety of geographical and historical settings.The cultural facets of the new developmen
Ultrathin square cell Haloquadratum walsbyi from the Archaea domain are the most abundant microorganisms in the hypersaline water of coastal salterns and continental salt lakes.In this work, we explore the cell surface of these Wallet microorganisms using amplitude-modulation atomic-force microscopy in nearly physiological conditions.We demonstrate
Researchers have reported how Hurricane Katrina has affected teachers who work with Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K-12), yet little is known about how the natural disaster has affected other important K-12 faculty and staff (e.g., coaches, librarians, school counselors, and cafeteria workers).Missing from the literature is the impact that this natural
