Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Couple infertility is a very ancient medical condition. One of the first descriptions of familial infertility/subfertility is contained in the first book of the Bible, Genesis, written in the 10th century BC and reporting tales from the oral tradition even occurred about 800 years earlier.

Phantasmic Encounters in the Arctic: Haunting Materialities Beyond the Ghosts of War
Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the vast north, ghostly experiences are common for locals and outsiders alike. Here, we explore how cultural‐natural attributes, like remoteness and extreme seasonal variation, compound experiences of the haunting in visceral ways. This provides the Arctic region with an unusually pronounced baseline of other‐than‐human agency, which in the

High speed rotor assembly shroud [PDF]
, 2006 An improved rotor assembly shroud includes at least one reinforcing flange on the upper surface of the shroud. The strength provided by the reinforcing flange allows for a smaller shroud thickness resulting in a net reduction of shroud mass.

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Morphological and morphometric analysis of archaeological animal hairs offers a nondestructive method to explore past clothing. We examined hair from two 18th‐century burial areas (SP03 and SP04) in Mazamet, France. SP03 specimens exhibited a continuous medulla, a low medullary index (0.2 ± 0.03) and cuticular features suggesting goat or ...

Sensing the sky's edge: Atmospheric insights into the Korean demilitarised zone
Area, EarlyView.Short Abstract In this paper, I demonstrate that novel and creative ‘atmospheric methods’ not only provide us with a means of overcoming difficulties around access to border spaces, but also more importantly afford us new insights into how atmospherically attuned things and the materialities of weather become entangled with and produce border ...

EFFECT OF FORCED ROTATING VANELESS DIFFUSERS ON CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR STAGE PERFORMANCE [PDF]
Journal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2011 Non-uniform flow at the exit of the centrifugal impeller mixes in the vaneless space of the diffuser causing a rise in static pressure as well as significant loss of total pressure.
