Acute RhoA/Rho Kinase Inhibition Is Sufficient to Restore Phagocytic Capacity to Retinal Pigment Epithelium Lacking the Engulfment Receptor MerTK

open access: yesCells, 2021
The diurnal phagocytosis of spent photoreceptor outer segment fragments (POS) by retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells is essential for visual function.

Content Aware Burst Assembly - Supporting Telesurgery and Telemedicine in Optical Burst Switching Networks [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics, 2010
The emerging Telemedicine and Telesurgery technologies allow patients to share medical experts remotely through communication networks. However, network bandwidth, network latency and jitter (variation of latency), are the obstacles to the widespread use

Numerical modelling of strength and energy release characteristics of pillar-scale coal mass

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2019
Coal burst is a manifestation of rapid energy release, which is considered as one of the most critical operational hazards in underground coal mines. This study numerically investigates the effects of discontinuities on the strength and energy release ...

Dark matter cores in the Fornax and Sculptor dwarf galaxies: joining halo assembly and detailed star formation histories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We combine the detailed Star Formation Histories of the Fornax and Sculptor dwarf Spheroidals with the Mass Assembly History of their dark matter (DM) halo progenitors to estimate if the energy deposited by Supernova type II (SNeII) is sufficient to ...

Consequences of CRISPR-Cas9-Mediated CFTR Knockout in Human Macrophages

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Macrophage dysfunction is fundamentally related to altered immunity in cystic fibrosis (CF). How genetic deficits in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) lead to these defects remains unknown.

The ROTSE-III Robotic Telescope System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The observation of a prompt optical flash from GRB990123 convincingly demonstrated the value of autonomous robotic telescope systems. Pursuing a program of rapid follow-up observations of gamma-ray bursts, the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (

Striatal network modeling in Huntington's Disease.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2020
Medium spiny neurons (MSNs) comprise over 90% of cells in the striatum. In vivo MSNs display coherent burst firing cell assembly activity patterns, even though isolated MSNs do not burst fire intrinsically. This activity is important for the learning and

Insights into genomic evolution from the chromosomal and mitochondrial genomes of Ustilaginoidea virens

open access: yesPhytopathology Research, 2021
Ustilaginoidea virens, the causal agent of rice false smut, is an economically important filamentous fungal pathogen. A high-quality reference genome of U.

On the Continuous Formation of Field Spheroidal Galaxies in Hierarchical Models of Structure Formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We re-examine the assembly history of field spheroidals as a potentially powerful discriminant of galaxy formation models. Whereas monolithic collapse and hierarchical, merger-driven, models suggest radically different histories for these galaxies ...

Priority based Burst Assembly for Optical Burst Switched Network

open access: yesIndian Journal of Science and Technology, 2016
Objective: In this paper, burst is aggregated on the basis of priority of the packets coming from different networks at the edge node of the optical network to enhance the QoS parameters such as burst drop, delay, packet delivery ratio and packet error.
