Extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) or hypersensitivity pneumonitis is an interstitial lung disease associated with repeated exposure to a wide range of inhaled organic dusts and related occupational allergens, especially bird and fungal proteins. We focus on the diagnostic and prognostic findings related to the use of BAL in the management of EAA patients. The presentation of EAA varies from p...

These notes arose from a mini lecture series the author gave at Early Career Researchers Workshop on Geometric Analysis and PDEs, held in January 2020 The Mathematical Research Institute MATRIX. We discussed some classical aspects of expanding curvature flows obtained first applications. In these we will give detailed account what was covered during lectures.

ABSTRACT The topic of this paper is a generalization the linear model for intrinsic alignments galaxies to flexions: In model, third moments brightness distribution reflect distortions elliptical caused by derivatives gravitational potential, or, equivalently, gradients tidal fields. With extension mediating between and fields with quantification shape galaxy at order provided HOLICs-formalism,...

Four studies examined the effects of nature on valuing intrinsic and extrinsic aspirations. Intrinsic aspirations reflected prosocial and other-focused value orientations, and extrinsic aspirations predicted self-focused value orientations. Participants immersed in natural environments reported higher valuing of intrinsic aspirations and lower valuing of extrinsic aspirations, whereas those imm...

Based on a novel application of an archimedean type pairing to the geometry and deformation theory of K3 surfaces, we construct a regulator indecomposable K1-class on a self-product of a K3 surface. In the Appendix, we explain how this pairing is a special instance of a general pairing on precycles in the equivalence relation defining Bloch’s higher Chow groups.
