Large-scale structure in superfluid Chaplygin gas cosmology [PDF]
Phys. Rev. D 89, 063014 (2014), 2013 We investigate the growth of large-scale structure in the superfluid Chaplygin gas (SCG) model. Both linear and non-linear growth, such as $\sigma_8$ and the skewness $S_3$, are discussed. We find the growth factor of SCG reduces to the EdS case at early times while differs from the $\Lambda$CDM case in the large $a$ limit.

Inflammation and tissue remodeling contribute to fibrogenesis in stricturing Crohn’s disease: image processing and analysis study [PDF]
Journal of Pathology and Translational Medicine, 2022 Background Inflammation and structural remodeling may contribute to fibrogenesis in Crohn’s disease (CD). We quantified the immunoexpression of calretinin, CD34, and calprotectin as a surrogate for mucosal innervation, telocytes (interstitial cells ...
