Osteoarthritis (OA) is the common form of chronic musculoskeletal degenerative joint disease in elder population and earlier studies have correlated the OA with genetics. The aim of this current study was analyse the collagen linked variants such as COL2A1 (rs73297147), CRTL1 (rs73771337), and CRTM (rs74063376) gene polymorphisms with clinically diagnosed and radiologically confirmed primary kn...

Assimilation of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) total aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieval products (at 550 nm wavelength) from both Terra and Aqua satellites have been developed within the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI) three-dimensional variational (3DVAR) data assimilation system. This newly developed ...

[1] Comparison of the land surface skin temperature (LST) from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) operational Global Forecast System (GFS) against satellite and in situ data in summer 2007 indicates that the GFS has a large and cold bias in LST over the arid western continental United States (CONUS) during daytime. This LST bias contributes to large errors in simulated sat...

The methodologies for prioritizing populated areas regarding the implementation of risk transfer schemes are still limited due to exclusion social components. This research proposes a methodology territorial when implementing Climate Risk Transfer Mechanisms (CRTM) using differential approach and considering three Colombian regions as case study. In order achieve this, we carried out literature...

Abstract. The Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM), a sensor-based radiative transfer model, has been used within the Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI) system for directly assimilating radiances from infrared and microwave sensors. We conducted numerical experiments to illustrate how including aerosol effects in CRTM calculations changes GSI analysis. Compared default aerosol-blind...

Over the course of evolution, nature continually discovers new small molecules through the alteration of biosynthetic enzymes and pathways by mutation and gene transfer. Hundreds of these natural products have proven indispensable to medicine, culture, and technology, greatly contributing to increases in the length and quality of human lives. Chemists have found that the “chemical space” surrou...

Staphyloxanthin (STX) is a saccharolipid derived from carotenoid in Staphylococcus aureus involved oxidative-stress tolerance and antimicrobial peptide resistance. STX influences the biophysical properties of bacterial membrane has been associated to formation lipid domains regulation methicillin-resistance. In this work, targeted metabolomics characterization study was carried out investigate ...

Staphylococcus aureus is a serious foodborne pathogen threatening food safety and public health. Especially the emergence of methicillin-resistant aureus (MRSA) increased difficulty S. aureus treatment. Staphyloxanthin is crucial virulence factor aureus. Blocking staphyloxanthin production could help host immune system counteract invading aureus&n..;.

Earth's surface reflectance is an important parameter affecting ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) radiance calculations at the top of atmosphere because many UV VIS channels can acquire information about atmosphere. This article provides theoretical basis for deriving from satellite-measured observations window lower sounding with help community radiative transfer model (CRTM) collocated atmos...
