A current generation type return stroke model which can take into account the possible modifications of the return stroke properties by the soil conductivity at the strike point of the lightning flash is introduced.The model is also capable of incorporating the reflection of the current at the ground end of the return stroke channel.In this paper,
Background The immunological microenvironment of primary high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs) has a major impact on disease outcome.Conversely, little is known on the microenvironment of metastatic HGSCs and its potential influence on patient survival.Here, we explore the clinical relevance of the immunological configuration of HGSC metastases.Meth
Orosomucoid like 3 (ORMDL3) encodes an ER-resident transmembrane protein that regulates the activity of serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT), the first and rate-limiting enzyme for sphingolipid biosynthesis in cells.A decade ago, several genome wide association studies revealed single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with increased ORMDL3 protein e
Background: The relative importance of a cultural component in the gender division of unpaid labour is still debated.Objective: Drawing on the epidemiological approach to the study of culture, we investigate the cultural component of gender inequality by examining whether gender asymmetries in housework and childcare in families with a migrant back
