OBJECTIVES Monocyte/macrophage recruitment and activation at vascular predilection sites plays a central role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Heterotrimeric G proteins of the G12/13 family have been implicated in the control of migration and inflammatory gene expression, but their function in myeloid cells, especially during atherogenesis, is unknown. APPROACH AND RESULTS Mice with my...

This study examines categorical and spatial patterns for trending venues in three cities. The three cities in our experiment are New York City, NY, Pittsburgh, PA and Erie, PA. We examine common categories of venues that trend in our test cities and see a similar theme in each city favoring foodbased venues, nightlife venues and other venues. We map the venues in each city and perform a nearest...

in this study, the development of structural elements and the relationship between these elements and dikes emplacements investigated by the field surveys and analysis of satellite images of the east dasht-e bayaz fault zone. in this area nnw-sse (t2) and nw-se trending dikes are which follow the fractures of the region. we measured geometric characters of dikes (such as thickness, attitude, di...

This paper extends the distributional theory for the problem of testing for structural change in the linear model when the timing of the change is unknown, and proposes a simple method of obtaining approximate critical values for the mean-Wald test. The results apply for a very wide range of regressor types, including integrated and trending regressors, and regressors that exhibit their own str...

To assess diversity of rotavirus strains in Lilongwe, Malawi, we conducted a cross-sectional study of children with acute gastroenteritis, July 2005-June 2007. Serotype G12 was identified in 30 (5%) of 546 rotavirus-positive fecal specimens. The G12 strain possessed multiple electropherotypes and P-types, but their viral protein 7 sequences were closely related, indicating that reassortment has...

We conducted an interpretive, qualitative research study to investigate herding behavior around trending posts about disasters on Sina Weibo, one of the most popular social media websites in China. Our preliminary results show that in response to uncertain situations, users engage in sensemaking (Seidel, 2013) and become emotionally engaged (Taylor, 2015) as they converge around trending posts ...

Electronic mail being one of the most prevalent methods for exchange of digital messages has been facing the biggest threat that is spam. Since the text spam can be easily detected so a new variant of spamming came into being. The new variant of spam is the image spam that is the trending method of spamming. This paper investigates the several classifiers used in the image spam classification l...

Social information is particularly prominent in digital settings where the design of platforms can more easily give real-time information about the behaviour of peers and reference groups and thereby stimulate political activity. Changes to these platforms can generate natural experiments allowing an assessment of the impact of changes in social information and design on participation. This pap...
