Large dams and their respective reservoirs provide renewable energy and water security, but also can profoundly alter riverine ecosystems.Here, we present evidence of changing aquatic food web structure in the seasons following short-duration, extreme manipulation of water levels in a reservoir (i.e., draining of the reservoir to the original river
The integrated calcareous plankton biostratigraphy (planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannofossils) and an accurate fieldwork, allowed us the reconstruction of the sedimentary evolution of the Longano Formation (Orbulina Marls).In particular the correlation between the bioevents recognised in the Orbulina Marls sequence and those recorded in a
Abstract Background Risks for living-liver donors are lower in case of a left liver donation, however, due to lower graft volume, the risk for small-for-size situations in the recipients increases.This study aims to prevent small-for-size situations in recipients using an auxiliary two-staged partial resection liver transplantation (LTX) of living-
The dynamic bone remodeling process is a computationally challenging research area that struggles to understand the actual mechanisms.It has been observed that a mechanical stimulus in the bone greatly affects the remodeling process.A 3D finite element model of a femur is created and a probabilistic analysis is performed on the model.The probabilis
