IntroductionThis work aims at transposing ethnographic research into digital contexts to probe its potential and limitations in a specific field of study: that of sexuality, particularly suited to ethnographic exploration.We chose as our case study a web community of Italian asexual people.As we shall see, this allowed us to simultaneously explore
Cyclic stretch induces cell reorientation on substrates by destabilizing catch bonds in focal adhesions.
A minimal model of cellular mechanosensing system that consists of a single stress fiber adhering on a substrate via two focal adhesions made of catch bonds is adopted to investigate the phenomena of cell reorientation on substrates induced by an applied uniaxial cyclic stretch.The model indicates that the catch bonds in the focal adhesions experie
Correction of Cicatricial Upper Eyelid Ectropion Using a Dermofat Graft and an Anti-Adhesive Agent
Ectropion is characterized by eversion of the eyelid margin and exposure of the cornea and conjunctiva.This leaves the inner eyelid surface exposed and prone to irritation, and in severe cases, poor eye closure.Ectropion can occur for several reasons including congenital malformations, trauma, burns, WHEY PROTEIN CARAMEL CHOCOLATE anti-cancer medic
Significant Association of Urinary Toxic Metals and Autism-Related Symptoms-A Nonlinear Statistical Analysis with Cross Validation.
INTRODUCTION:A number of previous studies examined a possible association of toxic metals and autism, and over half of those studies suggest that toxic metal levels are different in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).Additionally, several studies found that those levels correlate with the severity of ASD.METHODS:In order to further in
