The scanning microwave radiometer (RM) was launched on August 16, 2011, onboard HY-2 satellite. As the one of primary parameters retrieved from HY-2 RM, the sixmonth long from Jan to Jun 2012 global total water vapor column (WV) obtained from HY-2 scanning microwave radiometer were preliminarily validated using other operational spaceborne radiometer observations. The gridded water vapor produc...

It has long been known that the intracerebroventricular administration of ACTH1-24 increases the duration of grooming episodes and the frequency of yawning in rats. The objective of this study was to investigate in what way these episodes are prolonged and whether and to what extent genotype influences such effects. We compared the effect of increasing doses of intracerebroventricular injection...

We have modeled the formation kinetics of nitrogen-substituted (nitrided) zeolites HY and silicalite; we have also modeled the stability of nitrided sites to heat and humidity. These kinetic calculations are based on mechanisms computed from DFT-computed pathways reported in our previous work. Reactant ammonia and product water concentrations were fixed at various levels to mimic continuous nit...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is induced by multiple environmental factors, and there is still no known treatment capable of curing the disease completely. We propose a zeolite-containing mixture (Hydryeast®, HY)-a multi-component nutraceutical of which the main ingredients are Azumaceramics (mixture of zeolite and oyster shell burned under high temperature), citric acid, red rice yeast (mon...

Beryllium, with its four electrons and strong mixing of the 1s2 2s2 and 1s2 2p2 configurations, has long been the subject of investigation. The first reasonably accurate nonrelativistic calculations on the ground state were the configurationinteraction (CI) studies of Watson [1] and Weiss [2]. Szasz and Byrne [3] were the first to explicitly correlate the wave function by adding intrashell rij ...

The green tide caused by Ulva prolifera (U. prolifera) is becoming more severe as climate change and human activity accelerate, endangering tourism, aquaculture, urban landscapes in coastal cities. In order to understand the spatio-temporal distribution of U. response disaster, this study used Haiyang-1C (HY-1C) satellite accompanied Sentinel-2 GaoFen-1 (GF-1) satellites systematically monitor ...

The wind and wave derived from the scatterometer altimeter on board Chinese Haiyang-2B (HY-2B) satellite were systemically evaluated in this study. analysis of matchups between Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) winds HY-2B with speeds up to 25 m/s showed a 0.78 Root-Mean-Square Error (RMSE) 0.97 Correlation (COR), superior 1.2 RMSE 0.93 COR HY-2B. Simultaneously, significant heights (SWH) measured...

UNU/IIST UNU/IIST enables developing countries to attain self-reliance in software technology by: (i) their own development of high integrity computing systems, (ii) highest level postgraduate university teaching, (iii) international level research, and, through the above, (iv) use of as sophisticated software as reasonable. UNU/IIST contributes through: (a) advanced, joint industry{university ...

PURPOSE To investigate the sonoactivity of hypericin (HY), together with its sonodynamic effect on THP-1 macrophages and the underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS CCK-8 was used to examine cell viability. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was performed to assess the localization of HY in cells, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and opening of the mitochondrial permeability tran...
