The Expanding Role for Retinoid Signaling in Heart Development by Loretta L. Hoover, Elizabeth G. Burton, Bonnie A. Brooks, Steven W. Kubalak

“…Germline and conditional knockout mice have revealed which molecular players in the vitamin A signaling cascade are potentially responsible for regulating specific developmental events, and many of these molecules have been temporally and spatially characterized. It is evident that intact and controlled retinoid signaling is necessary for each stage of cardiac development to proceed normally, including cardiac lineage determination, heart tube formation, looping, epicardium formation, ventricular maturation, chamber and outflow tract septation, and coronary arteriogenesis. …”

Thermal Infrared Anomalies of Several Strong Earthquakes by Congxin Wei, Yuansheng Zhang, Xiao Guo, Shaoxing Hui, Manzhong Qin, Ying Zhang

“…We easily extracted and identified such seismic anomalies by method of “time-frequency relative power spectrum.” (2) There exist evident and different characteristic periods and magnitudes of thermal abnormal radiation for each case. (3) Thermal radiation anomalies are closely related to the geological structure. (4) Thermal radiation has obvious characteristics in abnormal duration, range, and morphology. …”

Combining robust state estimation with nonlinear model predictive control to regulate the acute inflammatory response to pathogen by Gregory Zitelli, Seddik M. Djouadi, Judy D. Day

“…Since direct measurements of the bacterial population and the magnitude of tissue damage/dysfunction are not readily available or biologically feasible, the need for robust state estimation was evident. In this present work, we present resultson the nonlinear reachability of the underlying model, and then focus our attention on improving the predictability of the underlying model by coupling the NMPC with a particle filter. …”

Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of Meteorological Drought in Shandong Province, China, from 1961 to 2008 by Xiaoli Wang, Xiyong Hou, Zhi Li, Yuandong Wang

“…The results indicated that the occurrence frequency of meteorological drought in Shandong province was generally high and some part of this region such as Jiaodong peninsula had suffered drought pressure with an evident ascending trend. The drought extent and influence were very severe in 1980s and 1990s but very slight in 1964; large-area drought mainly occurred after the 1970s and the yearly and seasonally interdecadal drought duration both showed a fluctuation of 10a periodic cycle approximately. …”
