primary assumption in most problems of elasticity theory in petroleum geophysics is that the elastic media is isotropic. laboratory experiments confirmed that most rocks are anisotropic. if in one medium, properties vary with directions, it is named as anisotropic. knowledge about anisotropy reduces risk and cost of hydrocarbon production. in the present study, anisotropy of a carbonate reservo...

A 79-year-old female was admitted with sudden onset dyspnea, mild oppressive chest pain, and severe anxiety disorder. Patient had history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. On admission blood pressure was 160/90 and heart rate was 130 bpm. Transthoracic echocardiography (TE) and contrast tomography showed a thin septum with an abnormal left and ri...

microRNAs (miRNA) have been detected in the deeply branched protist, Giardia lamblia, and shown to repress expression of the family of variant-specific surface proteins (VSPs), only one of which is expressed in Giardia trophozoite at a given time. Three next-generation sequencing libraries of Giardia Argonaute-associated small RNAs were constructed and analyzed. Analysis of the libraries identi...

In many strains of Escherichia coli, the product of gene dcm methylates the internal cytosines in the sequence 5'CC(A or T)GG. Spontaneous deamination of 5-methylcytosine produces thymine which, if not corrected, can result in a transition mutation. 5-Methylcytosines in the lacI gene are hotspots for spontaneous C to T mutations. dcm is linked to vsr, a gene required for very short patch (VSP) ...

The logic TM is the result of adding the mingle axiom to Ticket Entailment logic, T. In the present paper, it is proved that TM has the variable-sharing property (vsp). Ternary relational semantics for TM is provided. Finally, an interesting extension of TM with the vsp is briefly discussed.

Blood pressure elevation is likely a pharmacodynamic marker of VEGF signaling pathway (VSP) inhibition and could be useful for optimizing safe and effective VSP inhibitor dosing. Blood pressure rises on the first day of treatment, facilitating design and interpretation of future trials aiming to correlate blood pressure changes with clinical outcomes.
