Alpha-synuclein (αS) is the major constituent of Lewy bodies and a pathogenic hallmark of
all synucleinopathathies, including Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies …

More frequent and intense periods of extreme heat (heatwaves) represent the most direct
challenge to human health posed by climate change. Older adults are particularly …

New data and new estimates from old data show that rivers with large sediment loads
(annual discharges greater than about tons) contribute about tons of suspended sediment to …

Three-dimensionally periodic dielectric structures, photonic crystals, possessing a forbidden
gap for electromagnetic wave propagation, a photonic band gap, are now known. If the …

Petrologic and geochemical factors strongly influence the compaction of clays and sands
under pressures between 0 and 100 kg per cm 2. Particle size is the most pervasive of …

It is proposed that surfaces of crystals which reconstruct with broken orientational symmetry
and exhibit an anisotropic intrinsic stress tensor are unstable to the formation of elastic …

Sediment transport through the Brazilian sector of the Amazon River valley, a distance of
2010 km, involves exchanges between the channel and the flood plain that in each direction …

Two improvements for the solution of Maxwell's equations in periodic dielectric media are
introduced, abandoning the plane-wave cutoff and interpolating the dielectric function …

In the lower Amazon River, suspended sediment is stored during rising stages of the river
and resuspended during falling river stages. The storage and resuspension in the reach are …

The history of sediment and its movement in the Atlantic drainage demonstrate some of the
difficulties of modeling sediment on a river-basin scale. Soil erosion was accelerated by a …
