Approximately 20% of patients with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) develop optic pathway gliomas (OPGs).Not all OPGs in NF1 necessarily become vision compromising and predicting which patients might develop visual decline is difficult at present time.Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has emerged as a useful tool able to directly assess the morpholo
Abstract Helheim Glacier, in East Greenland, is a major outlet glacier that discharges about 33 Gigatons of ice per year into the ocean.Helheim has been undergoing a retreat since 2003.Using a portable terrestrial radar interferometer that scans the glacier every 2 min, we characterize its regime of tidal flexure at the ice front margin in relation
Birds exhibit a specialized tail that serves as an integral part of the flight apparatus, supplementing the role of the wings in facilitating high performance aerial locomotion.The evolution of this function for the tail contributed to the diversification of birds by allowing them to utilize a wider range of flight behaviors and thus exploit a grea
