Nature provides a considerable number of good examples for simple and very efficient joint assemblies.One example is the enormously flexible cervical spine of American barn owls, which consists of 14 cervical vertebrae.Each pair of vertebrae produces a comparatively small individual movement in order to provide a large overall movement of the entir
Abstract Background Timely and effective pre-hospital management of penetrating neck injuries (PNI) is critical to improve patient outcomes.Pre-hospital interventions in patients with PNI can be especially challenging due to the anatomical injury site coupled with a resource-limited environment.Nationally, in the United Kingdom, no consensus statem

The exon-52-deleted Synthetic Lace Ponytail Wig mdx52 mouse is a critical model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), as it features a deletion in a hotspot region of the DMD gene, frequently mutated in patients.Deletion of exon 52 impedes expression of several brain dystrophins (Dp427, Dp260 and Dp140), thus providing a key model for studying the
Although water is rarely traded over long Gift Bag Sets distances by itself, the total weight of the water consumed to produce traded commodities exceeds the weight of any other commodity traded in the world.This concept is known as virtual water trade.Although space-/time-/commodity-based quantification has been conducted extensively, the underlyi
