Water injection and Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) technologies have been used to exploit heat resources from geothermal reservoirs. Detecting spatial temporal changes in reservoir physical properties is important for monitoring condition due water EGS. Here, we determine high-resolution models of the three-dimensional P wave velocity attenuation (Vp Qp) structures between years 2005 2011 nor...

OBJECTIVE RIS-1/psoriasin/S100A7 is an epithelial antimicrobial peptide, whose expression is upregulated in inflammatory skin diseases and is induced by retinoids. Its molecular expression was investigated in skin cell cultures and in skin specimens to better understand its role in inflammatory procedures of the pilosebaceous unit. METHODS rtPCR and northern blotting of RIS-1/psoriasin and th...

Indium-111 radioimmunoscintigraphy (RIS) has an increasing role in the treatment of prostate cancer and is most commonly performed at this disease site using labeled monoclonal antibody against prostate-specific membrane antigen. There are many limitations of RIS, including low spatial resolution, low diagnostic yield and limited availability. Despite these limitations, the efficacy of RIS has ...

Retinal rod photoreceptors of teleost fish elongate in the light and shorten in the dark. Rod cell elongation and shortening are both mediated by actin-dependent mechanisms that occur in the inner segment myoid and ellipsoid. The intracellular signaling pathways by which light and dark regulate the actin cytoskeleton in the inner segment are unknown. To investigate the intracellular signals tha...
