UNLABELLED ESSENTIALS: Neutrophil elastase (NE) plays a role in extracellular trap formation (NETosis) triggered by microbes. The contribution of NE was evaluated in mouse NETosis models of sterile inflammation and thrombosis. NE is not required for mouse neutrophil NET production in vitro with non-infectious stimuli. NE deficiency had no significant effect on thrombosis in the inferior vena ca...

Increased incidences of infectious and septic complications during post-burn courses represent the main contributor to burn injury mortality. Sustained increases in catecholamine levels, especially norepinephrine (NE), contribute to immune disturbances in severely burned patients. The precise mechanisms underlying NE-mediated immunoregulation are not fully understood. Here we hypothesize that p...

Although plasma norepinephrine (NE) increases and hepatocellular function is depressed during early sepsis, it is unknown whether gut is a significant source of NE and, if so, whether gut-derived NE helps produce hepatocellular dysfunction. We subjected rats to sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), and 2 h later (i.e., early sepsis) portal and systemic blood samples were collected and pl...

Ka spectra of heliumlike neon and associated lithiumlike, berylliumlike, and boronlike satellite line emission have been observed with a high-resolution crystal spectrometer on the Lawrence Livermore Electron Beam Ion Trap. The KLL dielectronic recombination satellites were resolved from their He-like parent lines in electron energy space, and their wavelengths and resonance strengths measured....

|This paper presents a linear algorithm for recovering 3D a ne shape and motion from line correspondences with uncalibrated a ne cameras. The algorithm requires a minimum of seven line correspondences over three views. The key idea is the introduction of a one-dimensional projective camera. This converts 3D a ne reconstruction of \line directions" into 2D projective reconstruction of \points". ...

Program slicing is a technique for visualizing dependences and restricting attention to just the components of a program relevant to evaluation of certain expressions. Backward slicing reveals which other parts of the program the expressions' meaning depends on, while forward slicing determines which parts of the program depend on their meaning. Slicing helps programmers understand program stru...
