This is a short report about the first Cenozoic shark fossil from Svalbard.The specimen derives from the late Paleocene greenish sandstone of the Grumantbyen Formation, which is exposed in Fossildalen on the western side of 15-eg1053cl Colesbukta on Spitsbergen.The single tooth is assigned to the Paleogene sand tiger shark genus Striatolamia that a
Nanofluid optical property characterization: towards efficient direct absorption solar collectors
Abstract Suspensions of nanoparticles (i.e., particles with diameters < 100 nm) in liquids, termed nanofluids, show remarkable thermal and optical property changes from the base liquid at low particle loadings.Recent studies also indicate that selected nanofluids may improve the efficiency of direct absorption solar thermal collectors.To determi
Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis and interstitial pneumonitis: a case report of the west of Iran
Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) lolasalinas.com is a rare disease with autosomal recessive inheritance.Herein, a 20-year-old lady referred to the hospital with a dry cough for two years.The chest X-ray findings were bilateral reticulonodular opacities in both lungs and honeycomb appearance suspicious for miliary tuberculosis and idiopathic
Allometric trajectories and "stress": a quantitative approach
The term stress is an important but vague term in plant biology.We show situations in which thinking in terms of stress is profitably replaced by quantifying distance from functionally optimal scaling relationships between plant parts.These relationships 15-eg1053cl include, for example, the often-cited one between leaf area and sapwood area, which
