Animal models of pulmonary fibrosis: how far from effective reality?

IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS (IPF) is a chronic and progressive lung disease, associated with high mortality rates and unresponsive to currently available treatments. Animal models are critical to identify and validate new therapeutic drug targets, a concept that is nicely highlighted by the review by Drs. Bethany Moore and Cory Hogaboam (7) in this issue of AJP-Lung. Dr. Lorraine Ware (9), in...

Israeli-Arab Relations; from Dream to Reality

Abstract:This study intends to review Israel's efforts to increase political and economic relations with Arab countries. It is clear that most Arab countries did not have any ties with Israel since the 1980s, and only two Egyptian states had established political relations with Israel since the 1973 war. But over the past few years, and especially after the start of the third millennium, ...

Far-Field Occlusion and Distance Perception in Augmented Reality

Naval Research Laboratory, Code 5580, 4555 Overlook Ave SW, Washington, DC 20375. Email: [email protected] Augmented reality (AR) is an emerging technology, which allows computer-generated graphical information to be correlated with a person’s view of the real world (see Figure 1). These graphics can be placed in three positions relative to the real world: (1) in front of the view of the real world,...

Isotropization far from equilibrium

Isotropization occurs on time scales much shorter than the thermal equilibration time. This is a crucial ingredient for the understanding of collision experiments of heavy nuclei or other nonequilibrium phenomena in complex many body systems. We discuss in detail the limitations of estimates based on standard “linear” or relaxationtime approximations, where isotropization and thermal equilibrat...
