We consider cross-field plasma flow inside a field-aligned plasma slab embedded in a uniform background in a 1-dimensional geometry.This situation may arise, for instance, when long-lasting reconnection pulses inject plasma into the inner magnetosphere.The present paper presents a detailed analysis of the structure of the interfaces that separate t
The ability of the opportunistic fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans to resist oxidative stress is one of its most important virulence related traits.To cope with the deleterious effect of cellular damage caused by the oxidative burst inside the macrophages, C.neoformans has developed multilayered redundant molecular responses to neutralize the
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with mineral and bone disorder (MBD), which is the main cause of the extensively increased cardiovascular mortality in the CKD population.We tillman 750m now aimed to establish a new murine experimental CKD-MBD model.Dilute brown non-Agouti (DBA/2) mice were fed with high-phosphate diet for 4 (HPD4) or 7 (
The study of coordinated activity in neuronal circuits has been challenging without a method to simultaneously report activity and connectivity.Here we present the first use of pseudorabies virus (PRV), which spreads through synaptically connected neurons, to express a fluorescent calcium indicator protein and monitor neuronal activity in a living
In general terms, earthquakes are the result of brittle failure within the heterogeneous crust of the Earth.However, the rupture process of a heterogeneous material is a complex physical problem that is verona wig difficult to model deterministically due to numerous parameters and physical conditions, which are largely unknown.Considering the varia
