Nestin Reporter Transgene Labels Multiple Central Nervous System Precursor Cells by Avery S. Walker, Gwendolyn E. Goings, Yongsoo Kim, Richard J. Miller, Anjen Chenn, Francis G. Szele

“…We characterized a transgenic line that expresses enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) specified to neural tissue by the second intronic enhancer of the nestin promoter that had several novel features. During embryogenesis, the dorsal telencephalon contained many and the ventral telencephalon few eGFP+ cells. eGFP+ cells were found in postnatal and adult neurogenic regions. eGFP+ cells in the SVZ expressed multiple phenotype markers, glial fibrillary acidic protein, Dlx, and neuroblast-specific molecules suggesting the transgene is expressed through the lineage. eGFP+ cell numbers increased in the SVZ after cortical injury, suggesting this line will be useful in probing postinjury neurogenesis. …”

Estimation of multi-layer coating efficiency for passive radiative cooling by S. S. Jenblat, O. V. Volkova

“…One of the ways to increase the efficiency of radiative cooling systems is the use of multi-layer coatings. In recent years, several novel materials with high emissivity have been proposed, which allow the creation of radiators that provide an average daily cooling power of approximately 100 W/m2 during daytime. …”
