Ethanol is a widely used drug that is consumed in large amounts for pharmacologic effects. Elimination of ethanol alters metabolism in the liver and throughout an organism. Ethanol's effect on metabolites can influence the regulation of key pathways such as gluconeogenesis. We adopted a proton NMR-based metabolomic approach to study ethanol-induced metabolic changes in liver, blood, and brain t...

Transport is studied for the kinetically stabilized tandem mirror, an attractive magnetic confinement device for achieving a steady-state burning plasma. For a magnetohydrodynamic stable system, three different radial transport models with Bohm, gyro-Bohm, and electron temperature gradient ETG scaling are derived. As a conservative estimate, numerical coefficients in the models are taken to be ...

We study collisional damping of electron zonal flows in toroidal electron temperature gradient (ETG) turbulence due to the friction between trapped and untrapped electrons. With the assumption of adiabatic ions, the collisional damping is shown to occur on fast time scales approximately 0.24epsilon(1/2)tau(e). The comparison with the growth rate of electron zonal flows indicates that the sheari...

Shallow groundwater is an important water source for Haloxylon ammodendron (H. ammodendron). The accurate estimation of evapotranspiration (ETg) from great significance the cycle and maintenance ecological stability. Using a combination balance method level fluctuation (WTF), components (precipitation, soil moisture, depth, Bowen ratio meteorological data) in desert–oasis transition zone were c...

AIMS This study aimed to evaluate the performance of ethyl glucuronide (EtG) in hair and fingernails as a long-term alcohol biomarker. DESIGN Cross-sectional survey with probability sampling. SETTING Midwestern United States. PARTICIPANTS Participants were 606 undergraduate college students between the ages of 18 and 25 years at the time of selection for potential study participation. M...

INTRODUCTION Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) seems to be a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease of partially known origin. In light of its known biological functions and its involvement in tissue pathology in other disease states, particularly in nickel-induced allergic contact dermatitis coexisting with DH, it would appear that the central and peripheral response by neutrophils and their...

Riparian ecosystems fundamentally depend on groundwater, and accurate estimations of groundwater evapotranspiration (ETG) are important for understanding ecosystem functionality managing regional water resources. Over the past several decades, various methods have been proposed to estimate based table fluctuations. However, majority cannot resolve sub-daily variations in ETG. In this study, we ...

This paper reports on the development of reduced models for electron temperature gradient (ETG) driven transport in pedestal. Model is enabled by a set 61 nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations with input parameters taken from pedestals broad range experimental scenarios. The simulation data has been consolidated new database data, Multiscale Gyrokinetic Database (MGKDB), facilitating analysis. mode...

Abstract Previous studies with first-principle-based integrated modelling suggested that electron temperature gradient (ETG) turbulence may lead to an anti-gyroBohm isotope scaling in JET high-performance hybrid H-mode scenarios. A dedicated comparison study against higher-fidelity invalidates this claim. Ion-scale magnetic field perturbations included, can match the power balance fluxes within...
