Production-Induced Subsidence at the Los Humeros Geothermal Field Inferred from PS-InSAR by Eszter Békési, Peter A. Fokker, Joana E. Martins, Jon Limberger, Damien Bonté, Jan-Diederik van Wees

“…The subsidence pattern indicates that the geothermal field is controlled by sealing faults separating the reservoir into several blocks. To assess if this is the case, we relate surface movements with volume changes in the reservoir through analytical solutions for different types of nuclei of strain. …”

15-Lipoxygenase-1 Is Involved in the Effects of Atorvastatin on Endothelial Dysfunction by Peng Zhang, Xin Xing, Chunxiao Hu, Hui Yu, Qian Dong, Guanglei Chang, Shu Qin, Jian Liu, Dongying Zhang

“…Immunohistochemistry and western blotting showed that atorvastatin increased the expression of cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs) but decreased the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS); these effects of atorvastatin were blocked by ALOX15 overexpression. In human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVECs), silencing of ALOX15 enhanced the effects of atorvastatin on endothelial function. …”
