Abstract Fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) is highly expressed in adipocytes. Lipolysis, caused by an elevated adrenergic input, has been suggested to contribute to elevated serum FABP4 levels in patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, the relationship between the serum FABP4 and efferent sympathetic nerve activity remains poorly understood.

Contour location via entropy reduction leveraging multiple information sources [PDF]
We introduce an algorithm to locate contours of functions that are expensive to evaluate. The problem of locating contours arises in many applications, including classification, constrained optimization, and performance analysis of mechanical and dynamical systems (reliability, probability of failure, stability, etc.).

Contour Dynamics for Surface Quasi-Geostrophic Fronts [PDF]
We use contour dynamics to derive equations of motion for infinite planar surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) fronts, and show that it leads to the same result as a regularization procedure introduced previously by Hunter and Shu (2018).

Abstract Aim To identify the physiological role of the acid‐base sensing enzyme, soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC), in red blood cells (RBC) of the model teleost fish, rainbow trout. Methods We used: (i) super‐resolution microscopy to determine the subcellular location of sAC protein; (ii) live‐cell imaging of RBC intracellular pH (pHi) with specific sAC ...

Quantum-Classical correspondence of entropy contours in the transition to chaos [PDF]
Von Neumann entropy production rates of the quantised kicked rotor interacting with an environment are calculated. A significant correspondence is found between the entropy contours of the classical and quantised systems. This is a quantative tool for describing quantum-classical correspondence in the transition to chaos.

Visually-salient contour detection using a V1 neural model with horizontal connections [PDF]
A convolution model which accounts for neural activity dynamics in the primary visual cortex is derived and used to detect visually salient contours in images. Image inputs to the model are modulated by long-range horizontal connections, allowing contextual effects in the image to determine visual saliency, i.e.

A new method for detecting the outer corneal contour in images from an ultra-fast Scheimpflug camera
Background The Corvis® ST tonometer is an innovative device which, by combining a classic non-contact tonometer with an ultra-fast Scheimpflug camera, provides a number of parameters allowing for the assessment of corneal biomechanics.
