It is found that the time history of motion is regulated by non-dimensional property groups reflecting the timescale of excess pore pressure dissipation and the inertial properties of the liquefied zone, which
The ML method, non-negative matrix factoriza- tion with k-means clustering (NMFk), is applied to a library of 14 3D geologic charac- teristics hypothesized to control hydrothermal circulation in the Brady geothermal field. Our results indicate that macro-scale faults and a local step-over in...
We conduct a large-scale meta-analysis of heart failure genome-wide association studies (GWAS) consisting of over 90,000 heart failure cases and more than 1 million control individuals of European ancestry to uncover novel genetic determinants for heart failure. Using the GWAS results and blood pr...
During Drosophila tracheal development, the branching process is highly dependent on fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling. Tracheal cells express the FGF receptor homolog Breathless (Btl), which responds to localized presence of the FGF ligand Branchless to initiate branching. Vertebrate lung ...
This observation implies that EST might not be a determining factor for the biliary microbial composition of BPS patients. Our results were basically consistent between the WMS and 16S sequencing experiments, but had some discrepancies with the results of the investigation of Wu et al.16. Using ...
Our results complement previous findings that implicate hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-MET signaling in the cell wound response and migratory behavior of the RPE, phenomena that are linked to EMT (Liou et al., 2002; Wang et al., 2016; Kasaoka et al., 2012). EMT has been well ...
