… where P l is the lithostatic pressure and P h is the hydrostatic pressure (see sidebar, Hydrostatic
and Lithostatic Pressure). All three values (P f , P l , and P h ) are adjusted by subtracting …

Background Problem alcohol use is common among people who use illicit drugs (PWID) and
is associated with adverse health outcomes. It is also an important factor contributing to a …

An analysis of 105 consecutive breast reduction cases carried out by means of either the
superior- or inferior-pedicle technique was undertaken in an effort to compare the two …

Background It is not known whether early intervention can improve long-term autism symptom
outcomes. We aimed to follow-up the Preschool Autism Communication Trial (PACT), to …

Megasplay faults, very long thrust faults that rise from the subduction plate boundary megathrust
and intersect the sea floor at the landward edge of the accretionary prism, are thought to …

Here we describe a blood-cleansing device for sepsis therapy inspired by the spleen, which
can continuously remove pathogens and toxins from blood without first identifying the …

Here we describe a combined microfluidic-micromagnetic cell separation device that has
been developed to isolate, detect and culture circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from whole blood, …

The location of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program’s (IODP) Nankai Trough Seismogenic
Zone Experiment (NanTroSEIZE) was based on regional two-dimensional seismic reflection …

Surface properties of well-characterized samples of eta and gamma alumina were studied
and compared by means of gas adsorption and immersion calorimetry. From the results …

Pore fluid pressure is a key parameter governing both the shear strength of faults and the
conditions for seismic and tsunamigenic slip on subduction zone megathrusts. However, …
