Abstract Magnetic petrological investigations were conducted on the pumice fall deposits of the 1783 eruption of Asama volcano to examine relationships between bulk magnetic properties and petrological features related to the magmatic and volcanic processes of the eruption.The magnetic properties of the deposits agree with the mineralogical investi
Local government in South Africa is not only facing challenges normally associated with a process of development or transformation, but needs to adjust its focus according to the new development paradigm unfolding in South Africa.Developmental local adapter government has to accomplish this task according to the mandate issued in the Constitution a
Insect immunity is assorted into humoral and cellular immune reactions.Humoral reactions involve the regulated production of anti-microbial peptides, which directly kill microbial invaders at the membrane and intracellular levels.In cellular immune reactions, millions of hemocytes are mobilized to sites of infection and replaced by hematopoiesis at
Solutions to vision tasks in gastrointestinal endoscopy (GIE) conventionally use image encoders pretrained in a supervised manner with ImageNet-1k as backbones.However, the use of modern self-supervised pretraining algorithms and a recent dataset of 100k unlabelled GIE images (Hyperkvasir-unlabelled) may allow for improvements.In this work, we stud
Abstract CO-Q10 The endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a complex role in the development of neural circuitry during fetal brain development.The cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) controls synaptic strength at both excitatory and inhibitory synapses and thus contributes to the balance of excitatory and inhibitory signaling.Imbalances in the ratio of
