The Io-Jupiter S-bursts are series of quasi-periodic impulsive decameter radio emissions from the magnetic flux tube connecting Jupiter to its closest galilean satellite Io. This paper discusses the possibility, suggested by previous works by Hess et al, that the S-bursts are triggered by upgoing electrons accelerated (downward) by trapped Alfvén waves, that have mirrored above the Jupiter iono...

The inferior olive (IO) is a neural network belonging to the olivo-cerebellar system whose neurons are coupled with electrical synapses and display subthreshold oscillations and spiking activity. The IO is frequently proposed as the generator of timing signals to the cerebellum. Electrophysiological and imaging recordings show that the IO network generates complex spatio-temporal patterns. The ...

Why do states join international organizations (IOs)? Cooperation theory offers a number of plausible answers to this question. However, empirical analysis of IOs has not kept pace with theory. We identify three key limitations in existing empirical research on IO membership. First, the units of analysis commonly used to model membership, such as the country-year or dyad-year, do not sufficient...

The olivo-cerebellar network is a key neuronal circuit that provides high-level motor control in the vertebrate CNS. Functionally, its network dynamics is organized around the oscillatory membrane potential properties of inferior olive (IO) neurons and their electrotonic connectivity. Because IO action potentials are generated at the peaks of the quasisinusoidal membrane potential oscillations,...

The ROMIO implementation of the MPI-IO standard provides a portable infrastructure for use on top of a variety of underlying storage targets. These targets vary widely in their capabilities, and in some cases additional effort is needed within ROMIO to support all MPI-IO semantics. Two aspects of the interface that can be problematic to implement are MPI-IO atomic mode and the shared file point...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a highly specific anticancer treatment modality for various cancers, particularly for recurrent cancers that no longer respond to conventional anticancer therapies. PDT has been under development for decades, but light-associated toxicity limits its clinical applications. To reduce the toxicity of PDT, we recently developed a targeted nanoparticle (NP) platform tha...

We investigate the beaming of 11 Io-Jupiter decametric (Io-DAM) emissions observed by Juno/Waves, Nançay Decameter Array, and NenuFAR. Using an up-to-date magnetic field model three methods to position active Io Flux Tube (IFT), we accurately locate radiosources determine their emission angle θ from local vector. These use (a) updated models IFT equatorial lead angle, (b) ultraviolet (UV) image...

Purpose. To compare three 360°-laser retinopexy (LRP) approaches (using navigated pattern laser system, single-spot slit-lamp (SL) laser delivery, and single-spot indirect ophthalmoscope (IO) laser delivery) in regard to procedure duration, procedural pain score, technical difficulties, and the ability to achieve surgical goals. Material and Methods. Eighty-six rhegmatogenous retinal detachment...

Iron overload (IO) is a common yet underappreciated finding in metabolic syndrome (MetS) patients. With the prevalence of MetS continuing to rise, it imperative further elucidate cellular mechanisms leading dysfunction. Adiponectin has many beneficial effects and therapeutic target for treatment cardiovascular diseases. IO positively correlates with reduced circulating adiponectin levels impact...

nowadays, planning is no longer considered merely a scientific and technical career nor agovernment responsibity. it rather functions as a bridge connecting the planners to institutional changes. in otherwords, the planning theory does not develop in a social, economic and political vacuum, but is formulated byindividuals in social situations with the aim of clarifying the enviroment recommendi...
