Nonlinear Coupling of Alfvén and Slow Magnetoacoustic Waves in Partially Ionized Solar Plasmas: The Effect of Thermal Misbalance by José Luis Ballester

“…Solar chromosphere and photosphere, as well as solar atmospheric structures, such as prominences and spicules, are made of partially ionized plasmas. Observations have reported the presence of damped or amplified oscillations in these solar plasmas, which have been interpreted in terms of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. …”

Case Report: Atypical Cornelia de Lange Syndrome [version 2; referees: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations] by Vito Leanza, Gabriella Rubbino, Gianluca Leanza

“…Ultrasound is not the perfect means to diagnose CdLS, however, many abnormalities can be detected prenatally by scrupulous image observation. We report an atypical CdLS case characterized by increased nuchal translucency in the first trimester, normal karyotype, saddle nose, micrognathia with receding jaw, low set ears, facies senilis, arthrogryposis of the hands, absence of the Aranzio ductus venous, dilatation of gallbladder and bowel, a unique umbilical artery, increased volume of amniotic fluid, and intrauterine growth retardation ending with the interruption of pregnancy.…”
