Dual epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and HER2 targeting with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor lapatinib is approved for treating advanced HER2-positive breast cancer and can prevent estrogen receptor (ER)-negative mammary tumors in HER2 transgenic mouse models. Ki-67 labeling index (LI) has prognostic and predictive value and can be used to screen drugs' therapeutic and preventive potentia...

This paper shows methods for defining and rendering Sound Level of Detail (SLOD) for audiographic scenes using corpus-based granular synthesis. We introduce three levels of detail for sound (individual events, statistical texture, background din), to define a proximity profile around the listener. The smooth transition between the levels is assured alternatively by statistical modeling or audio...

Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) is an abundant but poorly understood pool of N in many ecosystems. We assessed DON cycling in a N-limited headwater forest stream via whole-ecosystem additions of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and labile dissolved organic matter (DOM), hydrologic transport and biogeochemical modeling, and laboratory experiments with native sediments. We sampled surface and ...
