ANATOMICAL NOTES AND DISCUSSION OF THE FIRST DESCRIBED AETOSAUR STAGONOLEPIS ROBERTSONI (ARCHOSAURIA: SUCHIA) FROM THE UPPER TRIASSIC OF EUROPE, AND THE USE OF PLESIOMORPHIES IN AETOSAUR BIOCHRONOLOGY

Anatomical notes and discussion of the first described aetosaur Stagonolepis robertsoni (Archosauria: Suchia) from the Upper Triassic of Europe, and the use of plesiomorphies in aetosaur biochronology

Stagonolepis robertsoni, from the Late Triassic of Scotland, was the first named aetosaurian.Known mostly from a series of natural molds from two localities, the osteology of this taxon has been difficult to interpret.Detailed work on this material in the late 1950s resulted in a monograph that set the standard for the understanding of aetosaurians

Glucose-Stimulated Mucus Secretion by Goblet Cells Mitigates Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction in a Rat Model of Mesenteric Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

Background: Superior mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) causes barrier dysfunction and facilitates bacterial translocation (BT) in the small intestine, which can even lead to systemic sepsis.Our previous research showed that luminal administration of glucose and its anaerobic glycolytic metabolites exerted cytoprotective effects on epithelial ce

A Rollercoaster to Model Touch Interactions during Turbulence

We contribute to a project introducing the use of a large single touch-screen as a concept for future airplane cockpits.Human-machine interaction in this new type of cockpit must be optimised to cope with the different types of normal use as well as during moments longboard dancer deck of turbulence (which can occur during flights varying degrees o

Genotype-phenotype correlation in phenylketonuria

Introduction.Phenylketonuria is an inborn metabolism error with a high phenotypical variability, due outer banks pura vida in part to the large number of implicated genetical variants (over 1200 reported) but also due to other factors.Establishing a genotype=phenotype correlation, accessible today through molecular testing, is an important instrume
