All About Eve and Other Stories: Representations of Eve in French Romanesque Sculpture
Traditionally unclothed, the figure of Eve made a sudden appearance on highly visible areas in the interior and exterior of European churches, built during the great architectural efflorescence of ca. 1100, now characterised ... -
Wave Characteristics of Tsunamis Generated by Landslides of Varying Size and Mobility
Landslide generated tsunamis are a natural phenomenon, capable of causing catastrophic consequences at the site of impact as well as some kilometers away. In order to increase understanding of these hazards, a series of ... -
Analysis of Human Thyroid Cancer-1 and Annexin V as Pro-Survival cDNA Sequences in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
Overexpressing a mouse Bax cDNA in yeast cells induces cell death. When heterologously expressed in yeast cells overexpression of a mouse cDNA encoding Bax, human Thyroid Cancer-1 (TC-1) or annexin V (ANXA5) suppresses ... -
Assembly of the O Antigen in the Highly Pathogenic Escherichia Coli Serotype O104:H4
Escherichia coli serotype O104:H4 (ECO104) is an intestinal pathogen that causes severe bloody diarrhea and hemolytic-uremic syndrome, which can lead to kidney failure and death. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are important ... -
Fountain Codes for Fault Tolerance in Distributed Storage Systems
Modern data storage systems are typically built using hard drives and other components that are prone to failure. The financial, operational and legal impact of data loss is usually quite high, particularly for owners of ... -
Comparison of a Newly Proposed Staging System with 7th Edition AJCC/UICC System for Surgically Resected Patients with Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) is a rare but lethal primary liver cancer. Debate exists about whether tumor size should be considered in disease staging. This study aimed to examine the association ... -
