We experimentally evaluate the performance of BLACKLIGHT 30 VOL underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) links in the presence of different air bubbles.Air bubbles of different sizes and densities are generated by using an air pipe in conjunction with a submersible water pump of variable flow rate that helps break up large bubbles into smal
On a deterministic mathematical model which efficiently predicts the protective effect of a plant extract mixture in cirrhotic rats
In this work, we propose a mathematical model that describes liver evolution and concentrations of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in a group of rats damaged with carbon tetrachloride.Carbon tetrachloride was employed to induce cirrhosis.A second groups damaged with carbon tetrachloride was exposed simultaneously a plant ext
The Papua New Guinea tsunami of 17 July 1998: anatomy of a catastrophic event
The Papua New Guinea (PNG) tsunami of July 1998 was a seminal event because it demonstrated that relatively small and relatively deepwater Submarine Mass Failures (SMFs) can cause devastating local tsunamis that strike without warning.There is a comprehensive data set that proves this event was caused by a submarine slump.Yet, the source of the tsu
Phototank setup and focus stack imaging method for reptile and amphibian specimens (Amphibia, Reptilia)
Fluid-preserved reptile and amphibian specimens are challenging to photograph with traditional methods due to their complex three-dimensional forms and reflective surfaces when removed from solution.An effective approach to counteract these issues involves combining focus stack photography with the use of a photo immersion tank.Imaging specimens be
Translating CD47-targeted therapy in gastrointestinal cancers: Insights from preclinical to clinical studies
Summary: This review presents a thorough investigation of the role of CD47 Nutritionals - Standard Tube Feeding in gastrointestinal cancers.We performed a comprehensive, in-depth review of over 100 preclinical and clinical studies focused on inhibiting CD47.The research highlights the potential of targeted CD47 to enhance existing treatments by boo
