Semi-automatic weapons are typically pistols, rifles and shotguns, including the AK-47 and AR-15 rifles, the UZI submachine guns, and MAC-10 machine pistols. These firearms are often referred to as "assault weapons," based on their rapid-fire capability. Gun rights advocates have taken issue...
[47] Glassworlds - Worlds utterly destroyed by high-energy weapons of mass destruction. They’re nicknamed ‘marbles’ because their surfaces have been “glassed”. Nuclear weapons aren’t enough to glass a planet, so this level of destruction is rare. On some of these worlds, people can ...
Risk of developing PD is twice as high in men than women, but women have a higher mortality rate and faster progression of the disease. Moreover, motor and nonmotor symptoms, response to treatments and disease risk factors differ between women and men. Altogether, se...
However, an association between the occurrence of cardiovascular events and AKI remaining after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors and preclinical data argue for a direct impact of AKI on cardiovascular damage [38]. This hypothesis has also been demonstrated in a murine experimental work ...

Invasive Aspergillosis (IA) is a life-threatening fungal disease with significant mortality rates. Timely diagnosis and treatment greatly enhance patient outcomes. This study aimed to explore the association between patient age and the development of IA,
Offspring from matings between unstressed parents constituted the controls. During EPM, the level of anxiety was quantified by the time spent in the open arm of the maze, and during OFT, stay time in the central area was the measure for predicted anxiety. When either mother (SC) or father...
Volodymyr P Tryndyak1, Tao Han2, Sharon A Ross3, Ivan Rusyn4 and Frederick A Beland1 The importance of dysregulation of microRNA (miRNA) expression in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has been increasingly recognized; however, the association between altered expression of miRNAs and pathophysiol...
In this paper, we have cloned the DQB gene from three Japanese narcoleptic patients and sequenced their 1 domain in order to study the sequence polymorphisms that might exist in the DQ genes of patients, but no difference in sequence could be found between narcoleptic and healthy individuals, ...
In Parmelia aquifer, a deep phreatic aquifer in Western Australia, groundwater levels have risen between up to 55 cm/year over the last three decades due to the replacement of deep-rooted native vegetation with pasture and annual crops14. Applying a grid-based water balance model, the spatial...
