Immobilization of load-bearing bones results in imbalance of bone turnover followed by bone loss and impairment of its mechanical function.The question is whether immobilization induced bone loss is accompanied by deterioration of properties of the bone tissue components.Thermally induced transformations of collagen reflect the overall condition Im
The loss of coastal habitats is a widespread problem in Europe.To protect the intertidal salt marshes of the lagoon of Venice from the erosion due to natural and human causes which is diffusely and intensely impacting Screwdrivers them, the European Commission has funded the demonstrative project LIFE VIMINE.LIFE VIMINE aims to protect the most int
Frankincense, also known as olibanum, is a gum resin collected from trees of the Waterproof Breeks genus Boswellia.The gum resin is produced by trees of various Boswellia species.These plants are middle size trees from Burseraceae family.Commertial olibanum in Iran is obtained from Boswellia carteri and Boswellia serrata that are native of Africa a
Predicting streamflows in snow-fed watersheds in the Western United States is important for water allocation.Since many of these watersheds are heavily regulated through canal networks and reservoirs, predicting expected natural flows and therefore water availability under limited data is always a challenge.This study investigates the applicability
