Neural Control of Dynamic 3-Dimensional Skin Papillae for Cuttlefish Camouflage

iScience, 2018
Summary: The color and pattern changing abilities of octopus, squid, and cuttlefish via chromatophore neuro-muscular organs are unparalleled. Cuttlefish and octopuses also have a unique muscular hydrostat system in their skin.

InGaP/GaAs/InGaAs Multijunction Flexible Photovoltaics With Chemical Robustness and Radiation Hardness for Unassisted Electrocatalysis and Space Applications

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A flexible InGaP/GaAs/InGaAs triple‐junction platform encapsulated with ultrathin glass enables unassisted electrocatalysis and space applications by providing robust protection against chemically aggressive and radiation‐rich environments. This work establishes a unified III–V multijunction photovoltaic platform that bridges space photovoltaics and ...

Lidar observations and modeling of cold air outbreaks during MASEX and GALE [PDF]

, 1986
As part of MASEX and GALE a number of research flights were carried out over the Marine Boundary Layer (MBL) during periods when extremely cold and dry continental air was flowing out over the warm coastal waters at the east coast of the U.S.

Quantum Mutual Information as a Probe for Many-Body Localization

, 2016
We demonstrate that the quantum mutual information (QMI) is a useful probe to study many-body localization (MBL). First, we focus on the detection of a metal--insulator transition for two different models, the noninteracting Aubry-Andr\'e-Harper model ...

Evaluation of inhibitor-combination mCIM for detecting MBL-producing Enterobacterales using three MBL inhibitors

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2019
The increase in carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE), including metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) producers, is a severe global health concern. Thus, highly sensitive and specific methods for detecting MBL producers are needed. In this study, we tested the detectability of MBL-producing Enterobacterales against three types of MBL inhibitors (sodium ...

Relationship between gene polymorphisms of mannose‐binding lectin (MBL) and two molecular forms of MBL [PDF]

European Journal of Immunology, 2003
Abstract Mannose‐binding lectin (MBL) activates complement through MBL‐associated serine proteases (MASP). A deficiency in MBL due to mutations at exon 1 of the human MBL gene is reported to cause vulnerability to infection. We examined sera of known MBL genotype by gel filtration and assessed their elution patterns using an ELISA for

A Novel Plasma Heme Assay Reveals Disease Severity in Beta‐Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Anemia

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anemia results from imbalanced hemoglobin or red blood cell production and clearance. Hemolytic anemia, caused by premature red blood cell removal, can be intravascular (in blood) or extravascular (erythrophagocytosis). Hemolysis is common in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and Beta‐Thalassemia anemia (β‐thalassemia), the most prevalent inherited ...

Thermal inclusions: how one spin can destroy a many-body localized phase

, 2017
Many-body localized (MBL) systems lie outside the framework of statistical mechanics, as they fail to equilibrate under their own quantum dynamics. Even basic features of MBL systems such as their stability to thermal inclusions and the nature of the ...

Sensitive CSF ELISAs for the detection of MBL, MASP-2 and functional MBL/MASP-2 [PDF]

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2012
Mannose binding lectin (MBL) mediated complement pathway is an important constituent of innate immune response in several infections including neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Although there are Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISAs) for estimating MBL, MBL-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2) and functional MBL-MASP-2 (fMBL ...

Appropriate Medical Therapy Primarily Modifies Type 2 and Severity Biomarkers in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Appropriate medical therapy (AMT) is first‐line treatment for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). We evaluated inflammatory structure, treatment‐induced changes, and biomarker‐outcome associations in AMT‐managed patients. Methods Fifty‐one CRS patients were evaluated before and after AMT which included a combination of oral ...
