We use 2005–2009 satellite observations of formaldehyde (HCHO) columns from the OMI instrument to infer biogenic isoprene emissions at monthly 1× 1 resolution over the African continent. Our work includes new approaches to remove biomass burning influences using OMI absorbing aerosol optical depth data (to account for transport of fire plumes) and anthropogenic influences using AATSR satellite ...

A key step in the initiation of apoptosis is the release from the mitochondrial intermembrane space of cytochrome c and other pro-apoptotic proteins such as Smac/DIABLO, Omi/HtrA2, apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), and endonuclease G (EndoG). Discrepancies have arisen, however, as to whether all these proteins are released in different systems. Our results suggest that failure to observe cytochr...

The spatial and temporal variation of satellite derived pre-monsoonal Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) over the Indian region has been studied using long-term (2005–2021) data from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI). In particular, three zones were selected, based on dominance natural, anthropogenic mixture both types aerosols. seasonal average AO...

The expression pattern of angiotensin (Ang) II type 2 receptor (AT2-R) in the remodeling process of human left ventricles (LVs) remains poorly defined. We analyzed its expression at protein, mRNA, and cellular levels using autopsy, biopsy, or operation LV samples from patients with failing hearts caused by acute (AMI) or old (OMI) myocardial infarction and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM...

This presents an overview of the significant achievements in Asynchronous Logic over the last quarter of a century at the University of Manchester. Including the Amulet (and subsequent) asynchronous Microprocessors, the synthesis tools Balsa and Teak, the MARBLE and Chain on-chip Interconnects, together with research arising from external collaborations with the University of Newcastle. 1 Pre-h...

There are distinct spectral features of water vapor in the wavelength range covered by the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) visible channel. Although these features are much weaker than those at longer wavelengths, they can be exploited to retrieve useful information about water vapor. They have an advantage in that their small optical depth leads to fairly simple interpretation as measurement...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder caused by loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons, the pathogenetic mechanisms of which remain unclear. Mitochondrial dysfunction, which has long been implicated in sporadic PD, has recently been highlighted as a key pathological cause, particularly with the identification of mutations in the PTEN-induced putative kinase (pink1), par...

To know the relationship between positive ventricular late potentials (LP) and occurrence of ventricular tachycardia (VT), signal-averaged electrocardiogram (SAECG) was recorded in 214 patients with myocardial infarction (MI). According to the time course of SAECG recording after the onset of MI, the subjects were divided into three groups; acute MI (AMI) group (onset-2nd week, n = 148), recent...
