Remediation of petroleum hydrocarbon polluted systems: Exploiting the bioremediation strategies
The irrepressible quest for a cheap source of energy to meet the extensive global industrialization demand has expanded the frontiers of petroleum hydrocarbon exploration. These exploration activities amongst others often result in pollution of the environment, thus creating serious imbalance in the biotic and abiotic regimes of the ecosystem. Several remediation alternatives have been in use for the restoration of petroleum hydrocarbon polluted systems. In this paper, we present an overview of bioremediation alternative vis-à-vis other cleanup methods and its adaptations in various polluted systems
Craniossinostoses Importância Clínica e Implicações Funcionais
Introdução: A craniossinostose é
uma condição patológica que resulta do
encerramento precoce de uma ou várias
suturas cranianas, podendo, para além
da questão estética, levar ao aparecimento
de complicações neurológicas, mais frequente quando existe envolvimento
de mais de uma sutura.
Descrição dos Casos: Os autores
apresentam dois casos clínicos de craniossinostose, com diferentes tempos de
seguimento, ilustrando a problemática da
intervenção cirúrgica e a necessidade de
observação precoce e seguimento por
Neurocirurgia.
Discussão: Sendo uma patologia
relativamente frequente na população
pediátrica geral deverá constituir um
motivo de atenção especial por parte do
Pediatra/Médico Assistente na avaliação
periódica em Consulta de Rotina, referenciando à Consulta de Neurocirurgia o mais precocemente possível
Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to Pressure Palsy Presenting with Hand Drop in a Young Child
Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy (HNPP) results from the deletion of the PMP22 gene in chromosome
17p11.2. Clinically, it presents with painless pressure palsies, typically in the 2nd and 3rd decades of life, being a rare entity in childhood. We present the case study of a six-year-old male child who presented with left hand drop that he kept for over four weeks. Electrophysiological studies suggested HNPP and genetic studies confirmed it. With this paper, we pretend to create awareness to this entity as a diagnosis to be considered in a child with painless monoparesis and to emphasize the importance of electrophysiological studies in the diagnosis
Nanocapacitive circuit elements
"Natural" lithography was used to prepare arrays of nanoscale capacitors on silicon. The capacitance was verified by a novel technique based on the interaction of a charged substrate with the electron beam of a scanning electron microscope. The "nanocapacitors" possessed a capacitance of ∼1 × 10-16F and were observed to hold charge for over an hour. Our results indicate that fabricating nanostructures using natural lithography may provide a viable alternative for future nanoelectronic devices. © 2008 American Chemical Society
Letter to Andrew Inglis Clark, Tasmania from John B. Moore, New York, 16 Mar 1907
Hopes Clark has recovered from his late illness. Sees Clark's son Conway quite often. Mr Strauss left New York for Washington when he was appointed to the Cabinet so haven't been able to take Conway to meet him. Strauss and his three brothers are all strong Democrats, although Oscar is now a Republican due to his relations with Mr Roosevelt. Talks about the process of electing judges in America and how it impairs the independence of the bench.

The spectral variability of FSRQs
The optical variability of 29 flat spectrum radio quasars in SDSS Stripe 82
region are investigated by using DR7 released multi-epoch data. All FSRQs show
variations with overall amplitude ranging from 0.24 mag to 3.46 mag in
different sources. About half of FSRQs show a bluer-when-brighter trend, which
is commonly observed for blazars. However, only one source shows a
redder-when-brighter trend, which implies it is rare in FSRQs. In this source,
the thermal emission may likely be responsible for the spectral behavior.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, to be published in Journal of Astrophysics and
Astronomy, as a proceeding paper of the conference "Multiwavelength
Variability of Blazars", Guangzhou, China, September 22-24, 201

Letter to Andrew Inglis Clark, Tasmania from Walter Gill, Melbourne dated December 13 1886
Anxious to hear from Clark about the accomodation he has asked Clark to arrange for his friend Mr Isaacs who will be visiting Tasmania during the holidays. He will be coming to Hobart via Emu Bay and Launceston.
