Legal English (LE) has evolved as a distinct, highly demanded part of ESP in the recent years of globalisation.Many specialised textbooks have been published lately, but the professional communication aspect lacks sufficient coverage.This article presents a project, which is a teaching manual entitled Legal English through Movies, that has grown fr
Parallel computing in genomic research: advances and applications
Kary Ocaña,1 Daniel de Oliveira2 1National Laboratory of Scientific Computing, Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, 2Institute of Computing, Fluminense Federal University, Niterói, Brazil Abstract: Today's genomic experiments have to process the so-called "biological big data" that is now reaching the size of Terabytes and
Hyperphalangy in a new sinemydid turtle from the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota
One-of-a-kind Hair-On Hides Hyperphalangy is a rare condition in extant aquatic turtles, and mainly limited to soft-shelled turtles.Here we report a new freshwater turtle, Jeholochelys lingyuanensis gen.et sp.nov.from the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota of western Liaoning, China.This new turtle is characterized by a hyperphalangy condition with one a
Effect of a Halloysite-polyurethane nanocomposite interlayer on the ballistic performance of laminate transparent armour
Polyurethanes are commonly used in transparent armour systems Rockets to increase the survivability, blast resistance, multi-hit resistance, and fragment containment of multi-layered systems.The high tensile-ductility, fracture toughness, and self-healing ability are key factors that determine the performance of polyurethanes under high-strain-rate
Sequence-based epitope mapping of high pathogenicity avian influenza H5 clade 2.3.4.4b in Latin America
High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (HPAI) poses a significant threat to public and animal health.Clade 2.3.4.4b recently emerged from the Eastern hemisphere and disseminated globally, reaching the Latin American (LATAM) region in late 2022 for the first time.HPAI in LATAM has resulted in massive mortalities and culling of poultry and wild birds, ca
