Abstract The non-filarial and non-communicable disease podoconiosis affects around 4 million people and is characterized by severe leg lymphedema accompanied with painful intermittent acute inflammatory episodes, called acute dermatolymphangioadenitis (ADLA) attacks.Risk factors have been associated with the disease but the mechanisms of pathophysi
Worldwide, steep terrain is extremely susceptible to the landslip phenomenon.In the numerous hill and mountain ranges of India, landslides occur frequently and on an annual basis.Due to its significant rainfall during both the South West and North East monsoons, the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu is particularly susceptible to landslides.Despite b
Recent experiments have demonstrated that visual cortex engages in spatio-temporal sequence learning and prediction.The cellular basis of this learning remains michael harris sunglasses unclear, however.Here we present a spiking neural network model that explains a recent study on sequence learning in the primary visual cortex of rats.The model pos
The chirality in soft triaxial nuclei is investigated for the first time with the time-dependent and tilted axis cranking covariant density functional theories on a three-dimensional gotrax handlebar space lattice in a microscopic and self-consistent way.Taking the puzzling chiral nucleus 106Ag as an example, the experimental energies of the observ
The aim of this study was to indicate the type of preservatives used in selected categories of cosmetic products sold in Poland (part of the EU market) and determine the frequency of their use.The tested products consisted of 200 leave-on cosmetics, viz.body lotions (n = 100) and face creams (n = 100) and rinse-off cosmetics (n = 100) and mascaras
