Following their replacement in the air defence role by the Mirage 2000, the French Air Force had a number of surplus Mirage F1C-200s, and in 1988 it launched a conversion programme to turn these aircraft into interim ground attack aircraft to replace eld...

The dentary teeth were tightly packed, but not pressed closely together, with the tooth crowns approaching each other at mid-length. The (serrations) were large and bulbous, diminishing slightly in size towards the tooth tips, with about 5–6 denticles per . The front (cutting edges) folded upwards to overlap the inner ...

Cutaneous and subcutaneous alternariosis is a skin or tissue infection caused by members of the genus "Alternaria", most commonly "A. alternata" and "A. tenuissima". Because of the inability of "A. tenuissima" to invade healthy host tissue, alternariosis tends to be restricted to people with abrogated cellular immunity...

Mutations in PABPN1 that cause this disorder, result when the protein has an extended polyalanine tract (12-17 alanines long vs. the expected amount of 10). The extra alanines cause PABPN1 to aggregate and form clumps within muscles because they are not able to be broken down. These clumps are believed to disrupt the n...

To combat this, researchers created a functionally graded ceria/bismuth-oxide bilayered electrolyte where the GDC layer on the anode side protects the ESB layer from decomposing while the ESB on the cathode side blocks the leakage current through the GDC layer. This leads to near-theoretical open-circuit potential (OPC...
