Volcanic Ash Activates the NLRP3 Inflammasome in Murine and Human Macrophages

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Volcanic ash is a heterogeneous mineral dust that is typically composed of a mixture of amorphous (glass) and crystalline (mineral) fragments. It commonly contains an abundance of the crystalline silica (SiO2) polymorph cristobalite.

Integron gene cassettes: a repository of novel protein folds with distinct interaction sites. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Mobile gene cassettes captured within integron arrays encompass a vast and diverse pool of genetic novelty. In most cases, functional annotation of gene cassettes directly recovered by cassette-PCR is obscured by their characteristically high sequence ...

Developing a combat-relevant translatable large animal model of heterotopic ossification

Bone Reports, 2021
Heterotopic ossification (HO) refers to ectopic bone formation, typically in residual limbs following trauma and injury. A review of injuries from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) indicated that approximately 70% of war ...

New physical characterization of the Fontana Lapilli basaltic Plinian eruption, Nicaragua [PDF]

, 2008
The Fontana Lapilli deposit was erupted in the late Pleistocene from a vent, or multiple vents, located near Masaya volcano (Nicaragua) and is the product of one of the largest basaltic Plinian eruptions studied so far.

Reconstructing the complex history of a small-volume basaltic volcano (Ngatutura volcanic field, New Zealand) : The role of subsurface processes and implications for diatreme formation : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2016
Monogenetic volcanism is very common on continents and often occur very close to civilisation. Limiting the ability of volcanologists to predict the location and extent of future eruptions at monogenetic volcanic fields is the lack of knowledge about ...

Kinship through code, personhood as node: AI afterlives and new technologies of the self Parenté par le code, personne nodale : vie posthume dans l'IA et nouvelles technologies du moi

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article examines how emerging generative AI technologies in Europe and North America are being used to reanimate the dead, prompting users to define the ‘edges’ of self and personhood through coding practices. These technologies invite new engagements with fundamental questions of relatedness and the construction of the self, challenging and ...
