We show that a hybrid (nuclear+ quark matter) star can have a mass-radius relationship
very similar to that predicted for a star made of purely nucleonic matter. We show this for a …

The zinc finger transcription factor Osterix (Osx) regulates bone formation and osteoblast
differentiation in vitro and in vivo. We investigated the transcriptional mechanisms underlying …

Background: The determination of the scattering and reaction amplitudes of hadronic and
electromagnetic probes on the single nucleon is of central importance in determining the …

This article describes a cavity ring-down spectrometer (CaRDS) specifically designed and
constructed for installation on the NOAA WP-3D Orion (P-3) aircraft for sensitive, rapid in situ …

A simple model is presented that, in a cloud-free atmosphere, calculates solar spectral direct
and diffuse irradiance and directional radiance at the surface, spectral absorption within the …

Background Homeostatic B Cell-Attracting chemokine 1 (BCA-1) otherwise known as CXCL13
is constitutively expressed in secondary lymphoid organs by follicular dendritic cells (FDC…

Semaphorin 4D (SEMA4D, CD100) and its receptor plexin-B1 (PLXNB1) are broadly
expressed in murine and human tumors, and their expression has been shown to correlate with …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neuroinflammatory disease characterized by immune cell
infiltration of CNS, blood–brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, localized myelin destruction, and …

• Twenty-one patients with lesions compromising the optic tract were reviewed. The involvement
of the optic tract may be diagnosed in the presence of highly incongruous hemianopia, …

Background . Brucellosis has unusual clinical manifestations. Ocular involvement caused by
brucellosis remains poorly recognized in areas in which brucellosis is endemic. Methods . A …
