[1] Most large earthquakes in northern and central California clustered along the main trace of the San Andreas Fault (SAF), the North American-Pacific plate boundary. However, in southern California earthquakes were rather scattered. Here we suggest that such alongstrike variation of seismicity may largely reflect the geometrical impact of the SAF. Using a dynamic finite element model that inc...

An operational method has been proposed to estimate the leaf area index (LAI) from satellite imagery in the framework of EUMETSAT Satellite Application Facility on Land Surface Analysis (LSA SAF). This study evaluates the performance of the LSA SAF LAI retrieval algorithm when prototyped to VEGETATION/CYCLOPES and MODIS reflectances over Europe for the 2000-2003 period. The results indicate tha...

INTRODUCTION The Self-Adjusting File (SAF) system (ReDent-Nova, Ra'anana, Israel) has been recently introduced for the simultaneous instrumentation and irrigation of root canals. The SAF is claimed to adapt itself three dimensionally to the root canal, including its cross-section. It is operated with a continuous flow of sodium hypochlorite that is delivered into the root canal through the holl...

In the internal dose evaluation, the specific absorbed fraction (SAF) and S-value are calculated from the reference phantom based on Caucasian data. The differences in height and weight between Caucasian and Asian may lead to inaccurate dose estimation. In this study, we developed the Taiwanese reference phantoms. 40 volunteers were recruited. Magnetic resonance images (MRI) were obtained, and ...

This study investigated the effects of artificial supercooling followed by still air freezing (SSF) on the qualities of pork loin. The qualities of pork frozen by SSF were compared with the fresh control (CT, stored at 4℃ for 24 h), slow freezing (SAF, still air freezing) and rapid freezing (EIF, ethanol immersion freezing) treatments. Compared with no supercooling phenomena of SAF and EIF, the...

BACKGROUND Scaffold attachment factor A (SAF-A) participates in the regulation of gene expression by organizing chromatin into transcriptionally active domains and by interacting directly with RNA polymerase II. METHODOLOGY Here we use co-localization, co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) and in situ proximity ligation assay (PLA) to identify Brahma Related Gene 1 (BRG1), the ATP-driven motor of th...

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my advisor Dr. William H. Robinson first. I am thankful for the advice he gave me on my research as well as graduate study and the patient guidance. His advice on research and career are important for my future development. In addition, I would like to thank Dr. Bharat L. Bhuva for his thoughtful advice on my thesis work. I also want to thank the SAF-T grou...

NNKY5-5, an IgG monoclonal antibody directed against the von Willebrand factor-binding domain of glycoprotein (GP) Ib alpha, induced weak but irreversible aggregation (or association) of platelets in citrate-anticoagulated platelet-rich plasma. This phenomenon was defined as small aggregate formation (SAF). Platelets in hirudin-anticoagulated plasma or washed platelets showed little response to...

OBJECTIVE Evidence for an important role of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease beyond diabetes mellitus and renal disease is growing. Skin autofluorescence (SAF) is a validated noninvasive measure of tissue AGEs. We hypothesized that SAF is elevated in peripheral artery disease (PAD). METHODS AND RESULTS A case-control study...
