Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is a vaccine for tuberculosis (TB) disease. This vaccine is not widely used in the United States, but it is often given to infants and small children in other countries where TB is common. BCG does not always protect people from getting TB.
<span>A scientific theory is NOT a wild guess. It must be consistent with known experimental results and it must have predictive power. As new knowledge is gained, theories are refined to better explain the data. A law is a mathematical relationship that is consistently found to be true.</span>
Between 1884 (the year Mendel died) and 1888 details of mitosis and meiosis were reported, the cell nucleus was identified as the location of the genetic material, and "qualities" were even proposed to be transmitted on chromosomes to daughter cells at mitosis. In 1903 Walter Sutton and Theodore Boveri formally proposed that chromosomes contain the genes. The Chromosome Theory of Inheritance is one of the foundations of genetics and explains the physical reality of Mendel's principles of inheritance.
Answer:
The equivalent magnetization (EM) and mantle Bouguer anomaly (MBA) were calculated along the ultraslow-spreading Mohns Ridge axis in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea. The magnetic anomaly and the associated EM were compared with the bathymetry, MBA, seismically determined crustal structure and geochemical data at both the inter-segment scale (>60 km) and the intra-segment scale (20–60 km). At the inter-segment scale, the magnetic highs at the segment centers are independent of the MBA. Of the 13 segments, 9 with magnetic anomalies >700 nT coincide with axial volcanic ridges identified from multibeam bathymetry maps, which suggests that the magnetic highs at the segment centers may be more associated with the extrusive lavas rather than the amount of magma supply. With few exceptions, the magnetic anomaly lows associated with MBA highs at the segment ends increase from south to north. This trend might be explained by thickened extrusive basalts and/or more serpentinized peridotites at the segment ends in the north. At the intra-segment scale, the most prominent features are the decreases in the magnetic anomalies and associated EMs from the segment centers to the ends. The intra-segment magnetic anomalies have positive and negative correlations with the bathymetry and MBA, respectively. The magnetic signal modeled by the seismically determined layer 2A with an assumed constant magnetization is remarkably consistent with the observed magnetic anomaly, which strongly suggests that the thickness of the extrusive basalts dominates the magnetic structure in each segment along the Mohns Ridge. In general, the thickness of the extrusive basalts dominates the magnetic structure along the Mohns Ridge, whereas the contributions from serpentinized peridotites may be significant at the segment ends and may produce long-wavelength magnetic variations. The magnetic data can be used as an indicator of the thickness of the extrusive basalts within segments along the ultraslow-spreading Mohns Ridge.
