...report said the visibility at the time of the crash was not good, since the heavy cloud layer sat at about 2,000 feet. That meant Lidle's plane had to stay within a relatively narrow range of movement - within the width of the East River, not too high and certainly not too low. All while Lidle and his instructor were apparently trying to peer through the clouds to see the sights of New York before they headed on their cross-country trip to California. If not exactly a recipe for trouble, there wasn't much of a safety cushion...
...lining (epithelium) through the villi. Sugar makes the salt absorption more efficient, and salt promotes water's absorption into the capillary-rich intestinal walls. Intestinal Villi Tiny finger-like projections in the small intestine's lining absorb fluid and nutrients into the blood through the capillary-rich layer beneath the epithelium. From there, water is carried away in blood to other parts of the body where it is needed, correcting the imbalance and rehydrating the victim. Deaths Worldwide there are 1.9 million deaths in children under 5 every year due to diarrheal diseases. According to WHO, about two-thirds...
...part of a gene that is active in fetal brain tissue only between the seventh and 19th weeks of gestation. Although the gene's precise function is unknown, that happens to be the period when a protein called reelin helps the human cerebral cortex develop its characteristic six-layer structure. What makes the team's research especially intriguing is that all but two of the HARs lie in those enigmatic functional noncoding regions of the genome, supporting the idea that much of the difference between species happens there...

...last album, “Transistor Radio.” The song’s swelling lonesomeness was amplified by Ward’s plaintive harmonica playing; in devoting an entire verse to the instrument, he showed off a formidable instrumental talent that added a fresh layer to Ward’s antiqued radio-sentimentalism. “Helicopter,” from the quieter “Transfiguration of Vincent,” also benefited from some harp revisionism...
