ULTRACOOL DWARFS OBSERVED WITH THE SPITZER INFRARED SPECTROGRAPH: EQUATORIAL LATITUDES IN L DWARF ATMOSPHERES ARE CLOUDIER

Ultracool Dwarfs Observed with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph: Equatorial Latitudes in L Dwarf Atmospheres Are Cloudier

We report direct observational evidence for a latitudinal dependence of dust cloud opacity in ultracool dwarfs, indicating that equatorial latitudes are cloudier than polar latitudes.These results are based on a strong positive correlation between the viewing geometry and the mid-infrared silicate absorption strength in mid-L dwarfs using mid-infra

Incidence of Metastasis of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Submandibular Gland among N+ Cases of Neck Dissection: A Research Protocol

Introduction: Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common malignant diseases of head and neck region.Management of OSCC involves removal of the Submandibular Gland (SMG) along with lymph nodes.The submandibular salivary gland is routinely removed, considering metastatic involvement from OSCC.Many studies showed there is no Salmon

Breeding for improvement of functional traits in dairy cattle

Selection programs for increasing milk production per cow have been very successful over time.This success has been partially due to the consideration of few other traits.Unfortunately, many traits related to costs of production and cattle functionality (i.e., “functional traits”), such as fertility and health, are antagonistically corr
