This study evaluates formaldehyde (HCHO) over the U.S. from 2006 to 2015 by comparing ground monitor data Air Quality System (AQS) and a satellite retrieval Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI). Our comparison focuses on utility of inform patterns, trends, processes ground-based HCHO across We find that cities with higher levels biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions, including primar...

Satellite observations of formaldehyde (HCHO) columns provide top-down constraints on emissions of highly reactive volatile organic compounds (HRVOCs). This approach has been used previously in the US to estimate isoprene emissions from vegetation, but application to anthropogenic emissions has been stymied by lack of a discernable HCHO signal. Here we show that temporal oversampling of HCHO da...

Four human T cell lines, TL-Mor, TL-Su, TL-TerI, and TL-OmI, carrying human T cell leukemia virus (HTLV), were established previously. TL-Mor, TL-Su, and TL-TerI were derived from interleukin 2 (IL-2)-dependent parental cell lines cloned from peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) of three healthy HTLV carriers, while TL-OmI was directly established from PBL of a patient with adult T cell leukemia. ...

Microwave-based all-analogue (orthogonal) subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) permits a direct processing of baseband data at Gbit/s while achieving low power consumption, low latency, low cost, and tolerance to dispersion. A key figure of merit in any SCM link is the sensitivity in the receiver, which depends on the transmitter, the link and the receiver. By analysing the impact of the nonlinearitie...

Background Treatment success is the desired outcome in aphasia rehabilitation. However, to date, there a lack of consensus on what defines 'successful' result given measurement instrument (OMI).Aim In this methodological paper, we present strategies for how define and measure treatment OMI at group-level, as well an individual person with aphasia. The latter particularly important when research...

In this study, a technique was developed to compensate for nonlinear distortion through cancelling subcarrier-to-subcarrier intermixing interference (SSII) in an electroabsorption modulator (EAM)-based orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission system. The nonlinear distortion to be compensated for is induced by both EAM nonlinearity and fiber dispersion. Because an OFDM sig...

Archival data from a cross-sectional survey of two cohorts of community residing New Zealand adults (n = 157; n = 141) was analysed to examine social attitudes towards people with mental illness in a historical period associated with the establishment of a community mental health facility. Participants completed the Opinions about Mental Illness (OMI; Cohen & Struening, 1959), and the Comfort i...

We present a new algorithm based on the iterative spectral fitting technique for direct retrieval of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) vertical columns from hyperspectral satellite measurements, and a new spatial technique for separating the stratospheric and tropospheric contributions to the total NO2 vertical columns. This direct vertical column fitting (DVCF) algorithm allows more complete treatment of...

With a number of microprocessor architectures in use today, the flexibility to change from one target platform to another, in respond to market or customer demands, is decisive for competitiveness for application developers. In order to increase this flexibility, the Architecture Neutral Distribution Format (ANDF) has been developed within OMI (Open Microprocessor Systems Initiative). After som...

Unfolded protein responses (UPRs) of the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial matrix have been described. Here, we show that the accumulation of proteins in the inter-membrane space (IMS) of mitochondria in the breast cancer cell line MCF-7 activates a distinct UPR. Upon IMS stress, overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and phosphorylation of AKT triggers estrogen receptor (ER) act...
