Thermohaline staircases are stepped structures of alternating thick mixed layers and thin high-gradient interfaces.These structures can be up to several tens of metres thick and are associated with double-diffusive mixing.Thermohaline staircases occur across broad swathes of the Arctic and tropical and subtropical oceans and can increase rates of d

Organisms must cope with different risk/reward landscapes in their ecological niche.Hence, species have evolved behavior and cognitive processes to optimally balance approach and avoidance.Navigation through space, including taking detours, appears also to be an essential element of consciousness.Such Light Therapy Lamps processes allow organisms t

Introduction: Porcelain gallbladder (PGB) Salad Server is a gallbladder with calcium encrusted on its inner wall.PGB is rare in the pediatric population with only four cases reported in the literature.We present a patient who is the youngest reported case of porcelain gallbladder.Case presentation: A 4-year-old full-term male with a history of chro

ABSTRACT Arthrobotrys oligospora (A.oligospora) is a typical nematode-trapping (NT) fungus that can capture nematodes by producing adhesive networks.Peroxisomes are single membrane-bound organelles that perform multiple physiological functions in filamentous fungi.Peroxisome biogenesis proteins are encoded by PEX genes, and the functions of PEX gen

Optical phased array (OPA) imaging technique, which uses electro-optic modulation to achieve beam steering rather than mechanical scanning, is a raster scanning imaging method with great potential due to its noninertia and high speed.However, fabrication imperfection of an OPA causes pre-designed phase modulations not yielding desired steering angl
