High-pressure single-crystal X-ray diffraction method with precise control of hydrostatic conditions, typically with helium or neon as the pressure-transmitting medium, has significantly changed our view on what happens with low-density silica phases under pressure. Coesite is a prototype material for pressure-induced amorphization. However, it was found to transform into a high-pressure octahe...

The recently developed Doppler spectroscopy diagnostic has been used to evaluate the height of ambipolar potential barrier forming in gas dynamic trap (GDT) plasma between central cell and region with a large magnetic expansion ratio beyond mirror. technique based on jet charge exchange target, allowed measure profile along line sight covering radial range from axis limiter. on-axis drop was fo...

Current iron chelation therapy consists primarily of DFO (desferrioxamine), which has to be administered via intravenous infusion, together with deferiprone and deferasirox, which are orally-active chelators. These chelators, although effective at decreasing the iron load, are associated with a number of side effects. Grady suggested that the combined administration of a smaller bidentate chela...

Named-Entity Recognition is commonly used to identify biological entities such as proteins, genes, and chemical compounds found in scientific articles. The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is an ontology that provides a standardized vocabulary for phenotypic abnormalities found in human diseases. This article presents the Identifying Human Phenotypes (IHP) system, tuned to recognize HPO entities ...

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis has been meticulously investigated in psychiatric illness, particularly in depression (Sachar et al. 1973; Sachar 1975). The Dexamethasone Suppression Test (DST) as a measure of the integrity of inhibitory feedback loops (Carroll et al. 1981; Stokes et al. 1984; Arana et al. 1985) of the HPA axis has received much attention. Though some controversy ...

Temperature-dependent ~300–10 K! reflectance measurements were made on h-Mo4O11 and g-Mo4O11 in the conducting b-c plane in the frequency range 30–8000 cm, for light polarized both parallel and perpendicular to the charge density wave ~CDW! direction ~b axis!. The optical conductivity was determined from a Kramers-Kronig analysis of the reflectance. The data clearly show strong suppression of t...

Several lines of evidence indicate that the activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in depression is disinhibited. Escape from dexamethasone suppression, although not limited to is more frequent in patients with endogenous depression compared to normals or patients with other psychiatric diagnoses. Norepinephrine, serotonin and acetylcholine have been implicated in the pathoph...

 Analysis and management of geometric distortions on multi-view displays with only horizontal parallax Amir Said, Bruce Culbertson HP Laboratories HPL-2012-2 Light field display; multi-view display parallax Light field (multi-view) displays are often designed to support horizontal parallax only (HPO) since this significantly reduces complexity compared to full parallax, and is commonly assumed...

A new organically templated layered uranium phosphate fluoride, [(CH(3))(2)NH(CH(2))(2)NH(CH(3))(2)][(UO(2))(2)F(2)(HPO(4))(2)] has been synthesized by hydrothermal reaction of UO(3), H(3)PO(4), HF, and (CH(3))(2)NCH(2)CH(2)N(CH(3))(2) at 140 degrees C. [(CH(3))(2)NH(CH(2))(2)NH(CH(3))(2)][(UO(2))(2)F(2)(HPO(4))(2)] has a layered crystal structure consisting of seven-coordinated UO(5)F(2) penta...

External adherens junction-based cell-cell contacts involving E-cadherin interactions function to sense planar cell status and modulate epithelial cell proliferation through Hippo (Hpo) and non-canonical Wnt pathways signaling. We hypothesized these regulatory processes should also be sensitive to a similar cell-cell contact sensor associated with apical-basal polarity events at epithelial surf...
