It has been conjectured that the string and unification scales may be substantially lower than previously believed, perhaps a few TeV. In scenarios of this type, orbiting detectors such OWL or AIRWATCH can observe spectacular phenomena at trans-GZK energies. We explore measurable signatures of the hypothesis that trans-GZK air showeres (“anomalous showers”) are originated by strongly interactin...

We present SKD, a novel keypoint detector that uses saliency to determine the best candidates from point cloud for tasks such as registration and reconstruction. The approach can be applied any differentiable deep learning descriptor by using gradients of with respect 3D position input points measure their saliency. is combined original context information in neural network, which trained learn...

The chromosome number of the polyploid species Glechoma hederacea was found to be 2n = 36 in a sample of 93 ramets derived from 27 sites in N and C Europe. Variation in 10 enzymes was surveyed in material from S Sweden and S Czech Republic. The genetic control of variation was investigated using segregating progeny from crosses and self-fertilized heterozygous plants. The genetic analysis compr...

Objective This study aimed to investigate the relationship of BMI trajectories from childhood with subclinical kidney damage (SKD) in midlife, a surrogate measure for chronic disease. Methods The followed up 1,442 participants 1985 Australian Schools Health and Fitness Survey who were between 7 15 years old at time survey was conducted had measurements least two follow-ups adulthood. Measures f...

Dietary guidelines for the treatment of type 2 diabetes advocate the regular consumption of nuts and seeds. Key lipid abnormalities associated with diabetes include raised LDL-C, VLDL-C, and TAG concentrations and decreased concentrations of HDL-C. The fatty acid profiles of nuts and seeds differ and may potentially influence lipid outcomes in people with diabetes differently. To examine the ef...

UNLABELLED The human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2/neu/ERBB2) is overexpressed in several cancer types. Although therapies targeting the HER2/neu protein result in inhibition of cell proliferation, the anticancer effect might be further optimized by limiting HER2/neu expression at the DNA level. Towards this aim, epigenetic editing was performed to suppress HER2/neu expression by ind...

We have carried out Sn nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on the quasi-Kagomé compound CeRhSn. We found that Sn Knight shift sKd is highly anisotropic and shows Curie-Weiss type temperature sTd dependence above 25 K. In this T range, the NMR relaxation rate shows s1/T1d~ÎT and is enhanced by magnetic fluctuations. At low T’s, K stays constant and the enhanced Korringa relation of sT1...
