Structures of epithelia found in martian lafayette meteorite

Structures of epithelia were found in two electron images of the Mars meteorite Lafayette. One image shows structures of pseudo stratified columnar epithelium, and the other image shows structures of simple cuboidal epithelium. These structures may not be biotic in origin if they are separately considered on the cellular level. However, inorganic material has not been reported to match these structures when integrated at the tissue level. No terrestrial minerals have been found in this meteorite.

Nonlinear sem: Comparison between endogenous and exogenous interaction

In many fields of research to study particular phenomena the analysis of model with interaction is very important. The interaction occurs when the effect of a variable on another variable varies with the varying of a third variable and vice versa. In the SEM analysis the interaction can create problems if the two cause-variables are endogenous, i.e. linked causally to other variables. In literature, only few authors examined the model with the interaction between endogenous variables but without a true analysis of the causal effects.
