Prehistoric colonization of East Polynesia represents the last and most extensive of human migrations into regions previously uninhabited.Although much of East Polynesia is tropical, the southern third, dominated by New Zealand-by far the largest Polynesian landmass-ranges from a warm- to cool-temperate climate with some islands extending into the
Advancing Solar Magnetic Field Extrapolations through Multiheight Magnetic Field Measurements
Nonlinear force-free extrapolations are a common approach to estimate the 3D topology of coronal magnetic fields based on photospheric vector magnetograms.The force-free assumption is a valid approximation at coronal heights, but for the dense plasma conditions in the lower atmosphere, this assumption is not satisfied.In this study, we utilize mult
Peroxisomal Fitness: A Potential Protective Mechanism of Fenofibrate against High Fat Diet-Induced Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Mice
ealisboa.com Background Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been increasing in association with the epidemic of obesity and diabetes.Peroxisomes are single membrane-enclosed organelles that play a role in the metabolism of lipid and reactive oxygen species.The present study examined the role of peroxisomes in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced N
Injuries in skiing and snowboarding: Epidemiology and risk factors as a basis for prevention measures
This paper deals with the subject of injury in alpine skiing and snowboarding and the aim was to define the characteristics of injuries and the risk factors as the basis for establishing preventive measures.The types of injuries and risk factors were analyzed by examining previous papers.During the last thirty years, the number of injuries has gene
