Refinement of a Previous Hypothesis of the Lyapunov Analysis of Isotropic Turbulence by Nicola de Divitiis

“…This proof assumes that pair and triple longitudinal correlations are sufficient to determine the statistics of Δur and adopts a reasonable canonical decomposition of the velocity difference in terms of proper stochastic variables which are adequate to describe the mechanism of kinetic energy cascade.…”

Decompensation of β-Cells in Diabetes: When Pancreatic β-Cells Are on ICE(R) by Roberto Salvi, Amar Abderrahmani

“…ICER is an immediate early gene, which is rapidly induced by the cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling cascade. The seminal function of ICER is to negatively regulate the production and secretion of insulin by repressing the genes expression. …”

A Simple Approach for Enhancing the Output Performance of Solar-Pumped Solid-State Lasers by Dawei Liang, Rui Pereira

“…Optimum pumping parameters are found through ZEMAX nonsequential ray-tracing and LASCAD laser cavity analyses. Compared with the output laser performance of a 3D-compound parabolic concentrator-2D-compound parabolic concentrator (3D-CPC-2D-CPC) cavity, the truncated cavity provides 11% more multimode and 72.7% more TEM00 laser powers. …”

Current Status of the Immunomodulation and Immunomediated Therapeutic Strategies for Multiple Sclerosis by Shyi-Jou Chen, Yen-Ling Wang, Hueng-Chuen Fan, Wen-Tsung Lo, Chih-Chien Wang, Huey-Kang Sytwu

“…Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, and CD4+ T cells form the core immunopathogenic cascade leading to chronic inflammation. Traditionally, Th1 cells (interferon-γ-producing CD4+ T cells) driven by interleukin 12 (IL12) were considered to be the encephalitogenic T cells in MS and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of MS. …”
