Spatial and phenotypic heterogeneity of resident and monocyte-derived macrophages during inflammatory exacerbations leading to pulmonary fibrosis

IntroductionGenetic mutations in critical nodes of pulmonary epithelial function are linked to the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) and other Audio Turntable Mat interstitial lung diseases.The slow progression of these pathologies is often intermitted and accelerated by acute exacerbations, complex non-resolving cycles of inflammation and pa

Sensitivity of Numerical Weather Prediction to the Choice of Variable for Atmospheric Moisture Analysis into the Brazilian Global Model Data Assimilation System

Due to the high spatial and temporal variability of atmospheric water vapor associated with the deficient methodologies used in its quantification and the imperfect physics parameterizations incorporated in the models, there are significant uncertainties in characterizing the moisture field.The process responsible for incorporating the information

Electrostatic Repulsion of Dust from Planetary Surfaces

Surfaces of planetary bodies can have strong electric fields, subjecting conductive grains to repulsive electrostatic forces.This has been proposed as a mechanism to eject grains from the ground.To quantify this process, we study millimeter-sized basalt aggregates consisting of micrometer constituents exposed to an electric field in drop-tower expe
