sFas and sFas Ligand and Pediatric Sepsis-Induced Multiple Organ Failure Syndrome [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 2002
The Fas-Fas ligand system is important for apoptosis of activated immune cells. Perturbation of this system occurs in diseases with dysregulated inflammation. Increased soluble Fas (sFas) occurs in systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and can block apoptosis. Increased shedding of FasL (sFasL) occurs in viral infection and hepatitis. Although

Charting the Path to Increased Oil Palm Output in Ghana Beyond Area Expansion: Technology or Managerial Capacity — Which Leads the Way?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study sets out to investigate the prospects for raising oil palm output in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly Ghana, without further expansion of cropland. Given global concerns about oil palm's role in deforestation and land use change, the focus is on enhancing productivity on existing farmlands.

How to Solve Classification and Regression Problems on High-Dimensional Data with a Supervised Extension of Slow Feature Analysis [PDF]

, 2013
Supervised learning from high-dimensional data, e.g., multimedia data, is a challenging task. We propose an extension of slow feature analysis (SFA) for supervised dimensionality reduction called graph-based SFA (GSFA).

Alignment-Dependent Ionization of Molecular Hydrogen in Intense Laser Fields

, 2009
The alignment dependence of the ionization behavior of H$_2$ exposed to intense ultrashort laser pulses is investigated on the basis of solutions of the full time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation within the fixed-nuclei and dipole approximation.

Angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of two-color XUV-NIR ionization with polarization control [PDF]

, 2016
Electron emission caused by extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation in the presence of a strong near infrared (NIR) field leads to multiphoton interactions that depend on several parameters.

Quenching or Bursting: Star Formation Acceleration--A New Methodology for Tracing Galaxy Evolution [PDF]

, 2017
We introduce a new methodology for the direct extraction of galaxy physical parameters from multi-wavelength photometry and spectroscopy. We use semi-analytic models that describe galaxy evolution in the context of large scale cosmological simulation to ...
