Reconstructing Equatorial Electron Flux Measurements From Low‐Earth‐Orbit: A Conjunction Based Framework by D. L. Stumbaugh, J. Bortnik, S. G. Claudepierre

“…For each conjunction, we fit the equatorial pitch angle distribution (PAD) parameterized by the function JD=C⋅sinNα. The resulting conjunction data set contains the POES electron flux measurements, L and magnetic local time coordinates, geomagnetic activity Auroral Electrojet index, and C and N coefficients from the PAD fit for each conjunction. …”

IL-33 is produced by mast cells and regulates IgE-dependent inflammation. by Chia-Lin Hsu, Colleen V Neilsen, Paul J Bryce

“…Recombinant IL-33 has been shown to enhance Th2-associated immune responses and potently increase mast cell proliferation and cytokine production. While IL-33 is constitutively expressed in endothelial and epithelial cells, where it may function as a transcriptional regulator, cellular sources of IL-33 and its role in inflammation remain unclear.…”
