An Assessment of Right Hepatic Artery Variations Using Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography Angiography by Mahadev Sidram Shiraganve, Veereshkumar S. Shirol, Virupaxi V. Hattiholi, Sheetal V. Pattanshetti

“…The continuation or unusual regression of parts of the early blood vessel system is responsible for these variations. A thorough preoperative evaluation of the source and branching configuration of the right hepatic artery (RHA) is essential for effective resections related to the right hepatic lobe due to the significant variability in the vascular structure of the right intrahepatic region. …”

Phylogenetics and genomic variation of Hepatocystis isolated from shotgun sequencing of wild primate hosts. by Paige E Haffener, Helena D Hopson, Alejandra Herbert-Mainero, Anayansi Ramirez, Ellen M Leffler

“…Principle components analysis based on genotype likelihoods across all samples showed evidence for population structure by primate host species. Across the genome, windows of high SNP density revealed candidate hypervariable loci including Hepatocystis-specific gene families possibly involved in immune evasion and genes that may be involved in adaptation to their insect vector and hepatocyte invasion. …”

Numerical simulation of the electromagnetic fields variations under the formation of the fault rupture before earthquake by M. I. Shimelevitch, E. A. Obornev, I. S. Feldman, V. A. Novikov

“…A 2D geoelectric model of a heterogeneous geological medium has been developed taking into account the processes occurred in the geological subj ect of flexure type which transforms into an uplift-thrust structure as a result of deformations. The model is based on a hypothesis of the variation of electrical conductivity of geomaterials in the local area of the fault under subcritical stress-state conditions due to the geodynamical processes. …”
