Semantic variant primary progressive aphasia(svPPA) is one of the language variants of frontotemporal dementia(FTD). In this variant, selective degeneration of the left anterior temporal lobe leads to a loss of semantic memory. Typical symptoms include poor confrontation naming, impaired single word comprehension, poor object/person knowledge, surface dyslexia, spared repetition, and spared motor speech with relatively preserved behavior and cognition. 1, record 1, English, - semantic%20variant%20primary%20progressive%20aphasia

Collapse scar bogs are circular or oval-shaped wet depressions in perennially frozen peatland. They originated as perennially frozen peatland and subsequently the permafrost thawed which caused the surface to subside. Surface waters are poor in dissolved minerals because they are not affected by mineral-rich waters in adjacent fens. Characteristic features are :(a) small, wet depressions on perennially frozen peatland.(b) developed entirely in peatland terrain and not in contact with mineral soils.(c) waters poor in dissolved minerals. 3, record 3, English, - collapse%20scar%20bog

Another thermal force that can induce rifting is from more acute magmatism that penetrates towards the surface. Penetrative magmatism produces uplift at the surface in about 20 Ma, whereas thermal isostasy is a broader, slower process taking about 100 Ma to uplift the surface... Thermal isostasy lags in time because rock is a poor conductor of heat, and penetrative magmatism fractures and heats the surrounding material rapidly. 3, record 4, English, - penetrative%20magmatism

Characteristics : The soils are distinctly acidic. The humus in the soil is determined by the moistness of the mountain. The moister the mountain the more the humus. Where the soil water is close to the surface, there is more vegetation.... Plants are adapted to high radiation levels and low temperatures. During sunny weather the solar radiation is intense and may cause strong surface heating on the plants. It is a very fragile ecosystem whereby plants take a long time to grow because of the low temperatures and poor soils.... Another characteristic of the montane ecosystem is thin air. As one rises along the altitude, the air becomes less dense.... Montane ecosystems are high rainfall areas....

Soil sodicity is an obscure cousin of that infamous phenomenon, soil salinity. The two are often confused, probably because both involve sodium, a metal widespread in Australian soils. Sodicity may be the more obscure problem, but it is a more widespread form of land degradation. It affects nearly a third of all soils in Australia(including a third of all agricultural soils), causing poor water infiltration, surface crusting, erosion and waterlogging. 1, record 14, English, - soil%20sodicity

Acoustic microscopy is the term applied to high resolution, high frequency ultrasonic inspection techniques which produce images of features beneath the surface of a sample. Because ultrasonic energy requires continuity of materials to propagate, internal defects such as voids, delaminations and cracks interfere with the transmission and/or reflection of ultrasound signals. Since air is a very poor conductor of ultrasound, gaps within or between samples are easily visualized by the localized changes in the ultrasound. 1, record 22, English, - acoustic%20microscopy
