[1] Recently, Cassak and Shay (2007) applied a generalized Sweet‐Parker analysis to derive scaling laws for gross properties of asymmetric magnetic reconnection, including the reconnection rate, outflow speed, and outflow density. This study presents the first comprehensive test of this scaling theory using fully electromagnetic particle‐in‐cell simulations of antiparallel asymmetric magnetic r...

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the predominant risk factor for glaucoma, and reducing IOP is the only successful strategy to prevent further glaucomatous vision loss. IOP is determined by the balance between the rates of aqueous humour secretion and outflow, and a pathological reduction in the hydraulic conductance of outflow, known as outflow facility, is responsible for IOP elevation ...

A decade has passed since the first topical prostaglandin analog was prescribed to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) for the treatment of glaucoma. Now four prostaglandin analogs are available for clinical use around the world and more are in development. The three most efficacious of these drugs are latanoprost, travoprost, and bimatoprost, and their effects on IOP and aqueous humor dynamics a...

A two-dimensional hydrodynamic CE-QUAL-W2 model was configured for a deep subtropical river-run reservoir, the Xiluodu Reservoir (XLDR), in China to simulate water temperature in the first two years of impoundment (2013–2014) using measured data as model input. It was calibrated using observed temperature profiles near the dam and the outflow temperatures. Observed daily temperatures at four ga...

PURPOSE To test the effect of stimulators of activator protein (AP)-1, on expression of stromelysin (MMP-3) in human TM cells and on aqueous outflow in perfused human anterior segments. METHODS Change in MMP-3 expression was determined by immunoassay of proMMP-3 levels in the media of cultured human TM cells. Anterior segments of human donor eyes with or without glaucoma were perfused with ve...

conclusions full echocardiographic examination of the right ventricle, including rvot is essential for the diagnosis of this disease. surgical correction appears to be a successful strategy for management of this rare condition in adults. case presentation we report a 40-year-old man who was referred to cardiology clinic for work-up of dyspnea and a heart murmur found on his physical examinatio...

Abstract. Upper-tropospheric outflow is analysed in cloud-resolving large-eddy simulations. Thereby, the role of convective organization, latent heating, and other factors upper-tropospheric divergent-outflow variability from deep convection diagnosed using a set more than 80 simulations because outflows are thought to be an important feedback (organized) large-scale atmospheric flows; perturba...
