Gadila elongata comb. nov. was described in 1920 from the northern Gulf of Mexico. Until recently, it was only known from the type locality. Herein we present the first record of G.

A new cosmic shear function: Optimised E-/B-mode decomposition on a finite interval [PDF]
The decomposition of the cosmic shear field into E- and B-mode is an important diagnostic in weak gravitational lensing. However, commonly used techniques to perform this separation suffer from mode-mixing on very small or very large scales. We introduce

The friction characteristics of the column-soil interface is important to the load transfer mechanism of geo-encased stone columns. In this study, model tests are conducted using a large direct shear device to investigate the effects of the normal stress,

Spitzer 70~$\mu$m Emission as a SFR Indicator for Sub--Galactic Regions [PDF]
We use Spitzer 24 $\mu$m, 70 $\mu$m and ground based H$\alpha$ data for a sample of 40 SINGS galaxies to establish a star formation rate (SFR) indicator using 70 $\mu$m emission for sub--galactic ($\sim0.05-2\ \rm{kpc}$) line-emitting regions and to ...

Mechanistic analysis of TBM cutterhead-ground interaction under mud build-up effect
IntroductionIn tunnel construction using TBMs, the complex mineral composition of strata and hydrogeological conditions often induce cutterhead mud build-up, which results in sharp increases in torque and thrust, thereby reducing excavation efficiency ...

Ultra Wide Swath Imaging With Multi-Channel SAR Systems [PDF]
Multi-channel radar systems allow for overcoming the inherent limitation of conventional synthetic aperture radar (SAR). An example is the combination of digital beamforming on receive in elevation with multi-aperture SAR signal reconstruction in azimuth

Searching for galaxy clusters using the aperture mass statistics in 50 VLT fields
Application of the aperture mass (Map-) statistics provides a weak lensing method for the detection of cluster-sized dark matter halos. We present a new aperture filter function and maximise the effectiveness of the Map-statistics to detect cluster-sized

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Effects of Aperture Ratio and Aspect Ratio on High-Speed Water-Entry Stability of Hollow Projectiles
The oblique water-entry stability of hollow projectiles with different aperture ratios (d/D) and aspect ratios (L/D) is investigated numerically in this study.

Karman vortex shedding occurs when the gas passes through the duct with tube bank of the heat exchangers, such as gas heaters and boilers. Very high level sound in called “self-sustained tones” occurs due to the interference of the vortex and the sound ...
