Geobag (sand-filled geotextile Crossbody bags) revetments have recently emerged as long-term riverbank protection measures in developing countries; however, their performance is still not well understood.The hydraulic stability of geobag revetments used for riverbank protection has been studied within an extensive laboratory programme to improve ou
Among several mechanisms that allow tumours to disarm the host immune system and thus to evade or suppress protective anti-tumour immunity, an important role for CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) has emerged.Numerous studies in humans have demonstrated increased Tregs in patients with carcinomas of the breast, lung, and pancreas, and this
ZFPM2, encoding a zinc finger protein and abundantly expressed in the brain, uterus and smooth Ginseng muscles, plays important roles in cardiac and gonadal development.Abnormal expression of ZFPM2 in ovarian tumors and neuroblastoma has been reported but hitherto its genetic association with cancer and effects on gliomas have not been studied.In t
Individuals from conflict-affected countries, such as Iraq, face formidable challenges when they resettle in the United States.Drawing from intersectionality theory, we explore the lived experiences of adolescent boys and girls from Iraq who have resettled in Texas and Virginia.In this qualitative study, we focus on the school as an institution tha
