Occurrence of Equatorial Plasma Bubbles during Intense Magnetic Storms by Chao-Song Huang

“…The time delay between the IMF southward turning and the first DMSP detection of plasma depletions decreases with the minimum value of the IMF Bz, the maximum value of the interplanetary electric field (IEF) Ey, and the magnitude of the Dst index. The results of this study provide strong evidence that penetration electric field associated with southward IMF during the main phase of magnetic storms increases the generation of equatorial plasma bubbles in the evening sector.…”

Nonlinear iterative approximation of steady incompressible chemically reacting flows by Gazca-Orozco, Pablo Alexei, Heid, Pascal, Süli, Endre

“…We consider a system of nonlinear partial differential equations modelling steady flow of an incompressible chemically reacting non-Newtonian fluid, whose viscosity depends on both the shear-rate and the concentration; in particular, the viscosity is of power-law type, with a power-law index that depends on the concentration. We prove that the weak solution, whose existence was already established in the literature, is unique, given some strengthened assumptions on the diffusive flux and the stress tensor, for small enough data. …”

Fluticasone Propionate in Inflammatory Bowel Disease by Marta Carpani de Kaski, Humphery JF Hodgson

“…In particular, fluitcasone propionate is a fluorinated glucocorticoid, in which systemic side effects are absent or minimal due to its relatively low absorption and rapid first pass metabolism In an open trial in 12 patients with mild and moderately active Crohn's disease, administration of 20 mg fluitcasone propionate orally was associated with a significant fall in the Crohn's disease activity index and improvement in other parameters of inflammation, without change in either plasma cortisol levels or responsiveness to adrenocorticotropic hormone, suggesting that this drug is a promising therapy for Crohn's disease meriting evaluation against conventional corticosteroids.…”
