Ultrasonic Phased Array Sparse-TFM Imaging Based on Sparse Array Optimization and New Edge-Directed Interpolation

open access: yesSensors, 2018
The ultrasonic phased array total focusing method (TFM) has the advantages of full-range dynamic focusing and high imaging resolution, but the problem of long imaging time limits its practically industrial applications.

Mechanical stiffness orchestrates distinct regulation of MRTFs and YAP/TAZ transcriptional cofactors in hepatocytes

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
MRTFs and YAP/TAZ proteins, or mechanosensitive transcriptional cofactors (MRTcoF), regulate common genes associated with cellular contractility and immune cell infiltration. Their differential regulation in response to stiffness is linked to changes in hepatocyte's aspect ratio. MRTFB does not undergo nuclear translocation under these conditions. This

‘Grabbing Our Land Deprives Us of Our Future’: Struggles Against State‐Led Land Dispossession, Demands for Justice and Citizenship in Dakar's Urban Outskirts

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How do people at the outskirts of Dakar struggle against urban land grabs and state‐led dispossession for urban development? How do they express the injustices they face and their demands for justice? What are they claiming, and what success have they had?

Integrating technical and scientific approaches to restore rupicolous plants threatened by climbing activities

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Rocky habitats are fragile ecosystems that host unique biodiversity and are increasingly threatened by the rapid expansion of outdoor climbing. In the northwestern region of El Bierzo (Spain), populations of the endemic rupicolous species Petrocoptis grandiflora and P. pyrenaica ssp. viscosa have experienced severe declines linked

Integrated Phytochemical Characterisation, Pharmacological Evaluation and Computational Investigation of Acampe papillosa Stem Extract

open access: yesAnalytical Science Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, December 2026.
The pharmacological potential of the methanolic stem extract of Acampe papillosa is evaluated using in vivo and in silico approaches. The extract demonstrates significant anxiolytic, sedative, anti‐inflammatory, and antipyretic activities in experimental models, while molecular docking supports the observed biological effects through favorable ...

Resolution of Refractory Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia in Costello Syndrome Using Trametinib: A Case Supporting MEK Inhibitors as Targeted, Specific Antiarrhythmic

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 9, Page 2151-2156, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Arrhythmias affect approximately half of patients with Costello syndrome (CS, OMIM # 218040), with non‐reentrant atrial tachycardia being the most common. This case describes an infant with Costello syndrome carrying the pathogenic HRAS c.34G>A (p.G12S) variant who developed early‐onset, drug‐refractory multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT ...

Experimental Characterization of PCI Sensitivity for Industrial Ultrasonic Testing Applications

open access: yese-Journal of Nondestructive Testing
Phase Coherence Imaging (PCI) is a recent evolution of the Total Focusing Method (TFM) in ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Unlike TFM, PCI relies exclusively on phase information and produces normalized coherence factors instead of amplitude ...
