They've identified some ninety "disruption zones" along the path — areas of fractured rock and abundant groundwater, where a machine might get stuck or swamped.
The outer rings of this defense are what the U.S. military calls disruption zones, where Islamic State fighters are expected to counter the Iraqi advance through the use of mortars and rockets, suicide bombers, road obstacles and car bombs.
For others, evacuations, power loss, falling trees, and flooding caused a much more significant disruption, leaving Zone A residents hoping for the appearance of an ark.
Structural changes of the retina and RPE, including cystoid macular edema, full-thickness and lamellar macular hole, external limiting membrane (ELM) disruption, ellipsoid zone (EZ) disruption, RPE hyperplasia/hypertrophy, presence of an epiretinal membrane (ERM), and evidence of RPE atrophy, were also graded on the sub-foveal SD-OCT scans.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was the difference in the area of neurodegeneration as measured in the area of the ellipsoid zone disruption (or photoreceptor loss) measured on spectral-domain (SD) OCT images at 24 months from baseline between the treated and untreated groups.
Apart from the decreased calcium influx, there is also a disruption of active zone vesicle release sites, which is also thought to be antibody-dependent since LEMS patients have antibodies to components of these active zones (including voltage-dependent calcium channels).
However, there are serious questions as to the indefinite sustainability of aquaculture, especially with the proliferation of disease, weaker stocks, eutrophication of coastal zones, disruption of biological environments, negative effects from escaped farmed organisms ("World Fisheries" 2006).
Exploring the basis for the reduced SLC expression led to identification of further disruptions in T zone stromal cells.
Patient and control groups were comparable by sex, local government district of residence, water sources and water supply zones, disruption and discoloration of tap water, nights spent away from home within the United Kingdom in the 2 weeks before onset or interview, and sewage services to the home (Table 3).
