The impact of black carbon (BC) aerosols on the global radiation balance is not well constrained.Here twelve global aerosol models are used to show that at least 20% of the present uncertainty in modeled BC direct radiative forcing (RF) is due to diversity in the simulated vertical profile of BC mass.Results are from phases 1 and 2 of the global ae
This study was conducted to determine the effects of addition of porcine blood plasma (PBP) to the emulsified pork batter as a substitute for the soy protein isolate (SPI) or sodium caseinate (SC) on the emulsion stability and physicochemical and textural properties of the emulsified pork batter.A total of 10 treatments were no addition and 0.5%, 1
Purpose.To assess the incidence of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).Methods.A chart review was performed to identify all patients with CSCR and a previous history of LASIK or PRK.Results.Over the 6-year study period, 1 of 4,876 eyes which had LASIK or PRK at
ABSTRACT Larvae of stomatopods (mantis shrimps) are generally categorized into four larval types: antizoea, pseudozoea (both representing early larval stages), alima and erichthus Right Seat Adjustment Lever (the latter two representing later larval stages).These categories, however, do not reflect the existing morphological diversity of stomatopod
Assassin flies (Diptera: Asilidae) inject paralysing venom into insect prey during hunting, but their venoms are poorly characterised Right Seat Adjustment Lever in comparison to those produced by spiders, scorpions, or hymenopteran insects.Here we investigated the composition of the venom of the giant Australian assassin fly Dolopus genitalis usin
