Abnormal cellular metabolism is a hallmark of cancer, yet there is an absence of quantitative methods to dynamically image this powerful cellular function. Optical metabolic imaging (OMI) is a noninvasive, highresolution, quantitative tool for monitoring cellular metabolism. OMI probes the fluorescence intensities and lifetimes of the autofluorescent metabolic coenzymes reduced NADH and flavin ...

Sphingobium fuliginis OMI is a bacterium that can degrade a variety of recalcitrant alkylphenols and bisphenols. This study reports the draft genome sequence of S. fuliginis OMI.

Observations of ozone from satellite platform is a key source of information to monitor and understand processes that may have a relevant impact on public health, air quality and climate. To achieve at the same time a reasonable spatial resolutions and a sufficient sensitivity, nadir UV/VIS sensor may be exploited. The topic of the PhD thesis work summarized here is the use of neural networks (...

Comparison between the CMAQ (Community Multi-scale Air Quality Model)-calculated and OMI (Ozone Monitoring Instrument)-retrieved tropospheric NO2 columns was carried out for 2006 over East Asia (100–150 E; 20– 50 N) to evaluate the bottom-up NOx emission fluxes of INTEX-B, CAPSS, and REAS v1.11 inventories. The three emission inventories were applied to the CMAQ model simulations for the countr...

Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) tropospheric NO2 vertical column density data were used in conjunction with in-situ NO2 concentrations collected by permanently installed monitoring stations to infer 24 h surface-level NO2 concentrations at 0.1 (∼11 km) resolution. The region examined included rural and suburban areas, and the highly industrialised area of Windsor, Ontario, which is situated d...

Satellite measurements of global aerosol properties are very useful in constraining aerosol parameterization in climate models. The reliability of different data sets in representing global and regional aerosol variability becomes an essential question. In this study, we present the results of a comparison using combined principal component analysis (CPCA), applied to monthly mean, mapped (Leve...

PURPOSE Oral mucositis is a nearly universal and often severe complication following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The objective of this study was to evaluate factors predicting oral mucositis severity among 133 patients undergoing allogeneic HCT for chronic myelogenous leukemia. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients were transplanted between 1992 and 1999, were >or= 18 years of age, ...

This paper reports initial results from an Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) Nadir Mapper cloud pressure and cloud fraction algorithm. The OMPS cloud products are intended for use in OMPS ozone or other tracegas algorithms. We developed the OMPS cloud products using a heritage algorithm developed for the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on NASA’s Aura satellite. The cloud pressure algori...

1 the abuses of language without which any mathematical text threatens to become pedantic and even unreadable. [3] but some abuse is more harmful than others. 1 Intervals We raise this old chestnut first because it illustrates some of the problems. How do we represent {x : 0 < x ≤ 1}? Semantically, there is no problem. <OMS name="interval_oc" cd="interval1''/> 0 1 <\...
