A GENERAL THEORY OF GLACIER SURGES

A general theory of glacier surges

We present the first general theory of glacier surging that includes both temperate and polythermal glacier surges, based on coupled mass and enthalpy budgets.Enthalpy (in the form of thermal energy and water) is gained at the glacier bed from geothermal heating plus frictional heating (expenditure of potential energy) as a consequence of ice flow.

Identification of Host Factors Involved in Human Cytomegalovirus Replication, Assembly, and Egress Using a Two-Step Small Interfering RNA Screen

ABSTRACT Arnica As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses are completely dependent on host factors for replication.Assembly and egress of complex virus particles, such as human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), are likely to require many host factors.Despite this, relatively few have been identified and characterized.This study describes a novel high-thro

The Complexity of Skeletal Transverse Dimension: From Diagnosis, Management, and Treatment Strategies to the Application of Collaborative Cross (CC) Mouse Model

This study investigates the significance of skeletal transverse dimension (STD) in orthodontic therapy and its impact on occlusal relationships.The primary goal is to enhance understanding and promote the integration of transverse skeletal diagnostics into routine orthodontic assessments.To achieve this aim, the study employs a comprehensive approa
