Investigation of wire-array Z-pinches by laser probing diagnostics
(2019)
Laser diagnostics provides powerful tools for the investigation of dense Z-pinches. In this paper, wire-array Z-pinches are investigated at the 1 MA Zebra generator using laser diagnostics at different wavelengths coupled ...
Loss of serum response factor induces microRNA-mediated apoptosis in intestinal smooth muscle cells
(2015)
Serum response factor (SRF) is a transcription factor known to mediate phenotypic plasticity in smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Despite the critical role of this protein in mediating intestinal injury response, little is known ...
Genome Sequence Variability Predicts Drug Precautions and Withdrawals from the Market
(2016)
Despite substantial premarket efforts, a significant portion of approved drugs has been withdrawn from the market for safety reasons. The deleterious impact of nonsynonymous substitutions predicted by the SIFT algorithm ...
Study of ablation and implosion stages in wire arrays using coupled ultraviolet and X-ray probing diagnostics
(2015)
Star and cylindrical wire arrays were studied using laser probing and X-ray radiography at the 1-MA Zebra pulse power generator at the University of Nevada, Reno. The Leopard laser provided backlighting, producing a laser ...
Evaluation of downscaled, gridded climate data for the - conterminous United States
(Ecological Applications, 2016)
Weather and climate affect many ecological processes, making spatially continuous yet fine-resolution weather data desirable for ecological research and predictions. Numerous downscaled weather data sets exist, but little ...
Hydrogen absorption properties of amorphous (Ni(0.6)Nb(0.4-)yTay)(100-x)Zr-x membranes
(2017)
Ni based amorphous materials have great potential as hydrogen purification membranes. In the present work the melt spun (Ni(0.6)Nb(0.4-)y Tay)(100-)xZrx with y=0, 0.1 and x=20, 30 was studied. The result of X-ray diffraction ...
Gastric and Duodenal Pseudomelanosis: An Extended Unusual Finding in a Patient with End Stage Kidney Disease
(2016)
Gastric and duodenal pseudomelanosis is a rare endoscopic mucosal finding, characterized by the accumulation of iron in macrophages of the lamina propria of the stomach and duodenum. The clinical significance and long term ...
Carbon-Based Materials for Thermoelectrics
(2018)
This article reviews the recent progress towards achieving carbon-based thermoelectric materials. A wide range of experimental and computational studies on carbon allotropes and composites is covered in this review paper. ...
Insulin-like growth factors and their potential role in cardiac epigenetics
(2016)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) constitutes a major public health threat worldwide, accounting for 17.3 million deaths annually. Heart disease and stroke account for the majority of healthcare costs in the developed world. ...
Inhibition of A beta(42) oligomerization in yeast by a PICALM ortholog and certain FDA approved drugs
(2016)
The formation of small A beta 42 oligomers has been implicated as a toxic species in Alzheimer disease (AD). In strong support of this hypothesis we found that overexpression of Yap1802, the yeast ortholog of the human AD ...
