Cementing Partnerships: Applying a Network-Mapping Tool in Tajikistan.

This article describes the integration of an innovative network-mapping tool within a monitoring, evaluation and learning system. We describe how it serves to strengthen vulnerable families to care for their children. We discuss the use of this tool as part of the process of measurement for change in the preparation for the sustainable scaling of programme implementation.

Effects of high mechanical treatment and long-term annealing on crystal structure and thermal stability of TiO nanocrystals.

The effect of high-energy milling and long-term annealing on the stability of TiO nanocrystals was studied using a magnetic susceptibility method. temperature dependences revealed that the crystal size greatly affects the magnetic susceptibility value. According to XRD, SEM and TEM data, Magnéli phases TiO, TiO, TiO and TiO are formed.

Population structure and growth rates at biogeographic extremes: a case study of the common cockle, Cerastoderma edule (L.) in the Barents Sea.

A descriptive study of population structure, growth rates and shell morphometry was conducted on nine intertidal populations of the infaunal bivalve Cerastoderma edule in the Murmansk coast of the Barents Sea. Year-to-year population dynamics was analyzed during 2002-2006 on a tidal flat Dalniy Plaj (eastern Murmansk coast). The region constitutes the northern extremes of C.

Pathological immune complexes (PIC) are revealed in high percent (100%) of cases by placental immunomorphological studies in insulin-dependent tissue. This leads to the development of an immunopathological process in the placental tissue. Parallel electron microscopy shows that some placental vessels are in close contact with the basal membrane of syncytiotrophoblast.
