Thermodynamic and Kinetic Analysis of Sensitivity Amplification in Biological Signal Transduction [PDF]
Based on a thermodynamic analysis of the kinetic model for the protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle, we study the ATP (or GTP) energy utilization of this ubiquitous biological signal transduction process.

Transverse NMR relaxation as a probe of mesoscopic structure
Transverse NMR relaxation in a macroscopic sample is shown to be extremely sensitive to the structure of mesoscopic magnetic susceptibility variations. Such a sensitivity is proposed as a novel kind of contrast in the NMR measurements. For suspensions of

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography for deep vein thrombosis [PDF]
Background Ultrasound (US) has largely replaced contrast venography as the definitive diagnostic test for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We aimed to derive a definitive estimate of the diagnostic accuracy of US for clinically suspected DVT and identify ...

Natural History Note Differential Response To Circularly Polarized Light By The Jewel Scarab Beetle Chrysina Gloriosa [PDF]
Circularly polarized light is rare in the terrestrial environment, and cuticular reflections from scarab beetles are one of the few natural sources.

Contrast Sensitivity and Asthenopia Analysis in Workers
In the digital age, complaints of eyestrain, or asthenopia, have become increasingly common. This condition is often associated with prolonged near-work activities, such as extended use of computers or digital devices, with reported prevalence rates ...

Alterations in center-surround contrast suppression in patients with major depressive disorder
Previous pattern electroretinogram studies indicate reduced retinal contrast gain in patients with a major depressive disorder (MDD) which may contribute to alterations in visual perception.
