With recently improved instrumental accuracy, the change in the heat content of the oceans and the corresponding contribution to the change of the sea level can be determined from in situ measurements of temperature variation with depth. Nevertheless, it would be favourable if the same changes could be evaluated from just the sea surface temperatures because the past record could then be reconstructed and future scenarios explored. Using a single column model we show that the average change in t...

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>During their movements in the wild, wood mice (<it>Apodemus sylvaticus</it>) distribute small objects, such as leaves or twigs, which are often visually conspicuous. Our experiments demonstrate that these marks serve as points of reference during exploration. Way-marking, as we call it, may diminish the likelihood of losing an "interesting" location, perhaps following disturbance by, for example, a predator or conspecific. Way-marks, being readily portable, m...

Background: Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungus that might infect the oral cavity. Increased colony numbers of C. albicans in the mouth can be caused by multiple factors, such as smoking, weakened immune system, antibiotics use and immune-compromised condition. Smoking can increase expression of virulence factors of C. albicans and make it stronger. One virulence factor of C. albicans is biofilm formation. The ability of creating biofilm makes C. albicans more tolerant to commercial anti...

The author argues through an analysis of maritime practice, legal theory and statutory enactments that the pilot is not only an expert adviser but that he takes charge of and conducts a vessel. He distinguishes between conducting and commanding and points out that by recognizing that the pilot conducts a ship no charge in the nowadays widely accepted regime of liability would ensue. He proposes, consequently, a rewording of Article 34 of the Maritime and Internal Waters Navigation Act presently ...
