High-density lipoproteins (HDL) have received considerable interest as a target for the development of novel anti-atherosclerotic agents beyond conventional approaches to lipid lowering. While a number of approaches have focused on modifying remodeling and expression pathways implicated in the regulation of HDL levels, an additional approach involves simply infusions of delipidated HDL. Several...

An innovative holographic memory system has been developed at JPL for high-density and high-speed data storage in a space environment. This system utilizes a newly developed electro-optic (E-O) beam steering technology to achieve a design goal of up to 250 Gb storage in a cubic photorefractive crystal with up to 1 Gb/sec transfer rate. Recently, a compact CD-sized holographic memory breadboard ...

Background Wall thickening is the dominant factor for the effective ejection of the left ventricle (LV). Circular tagging is the suitable pattern for studying the radial strain which quantifies the wall thickening. High density tagging facilitates the post processing required for this quantification [1]. Following the recent sequence development for circular tagging, in this work we propose a k...
