Virtual Dike: multiscale simulation of dike stability

We present a Virtual Dike simulation module developed as a part of a flood Early Warning System (EWS) for the UrbanFlood project. The UrbanFlood EWS is a distributed system that analyzes sensor data received in real-time from flood defenses (dikes, dams, etc.) and simulates dike stability, breaching and flood propagation. The aim of the Virtual Dike module is to develop an advanced multiscale m...

R4 Current Biology 27, R1–R18, January 9, 2017 At the time of going to press, the nominations have not included the post of a science advisor, so scientists in the US and their world-leading institutions and associations are wondering how, if at all, verifi able facts from the real world can reach the president. Writing in Science magazine, the CEO of the American Association for the Advancemen...

Red Blood Cell (RBC) transfusion is a common medical procedure, which most often involves stored RBC units. During storage, RBC quality degrades due to various factors (“storage lesion”). This decreases cell viability in-vivo and thus often compromises transfusion efficacy. The degradation of any given unit of RBC solution varies according to several factors besides time (e.g., variability amon...

We have quantitated the transformation-sensitive, cell surface LETS glycoprotein on many untransformed cell types. By SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, this trypsin-sensitive iodinatable glycoprotein comprises 1-3% of total cellular protein of the seven early passage cell types tested. In contrast, it constitutes less than 0.15% of the protein in four of six continuous cell lines. This de...
