Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) is an evolutionarily conserved characteristic of animal tissues marked by coordinated polarization of cells or structures in the plane of a tissue.In insect wing epithelium, for instance, PCP is characterized by Queen/Full Panel Headboard en masse orientation of hairs orthogonal to its apical-basal axis and pointing along

This article presents the first bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Moon imaging experiment based on the five-100-m aperture spherical radio telescope (FAST) and the Sanya incoherent scatter radar (SYISR).We obtain 430 MHz radar images of the Moon surface and the highest resolution of the images reaches Mains Suppression Capacitor 560 m ×

The detection of the Cerenkov radiation (CR) is an emerging preclinical imaging technique which allows monitoring the in vivo distribution of radionuclides.Among its possible advantages, the most interesting is the simplicity and cost of the required instrumentation compared, e.g., to that required for PET scans.On the other hand, one of its main d

Abstract Background Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) remains a diagnostic challenge due to a variable clinical presentation and the lack of a reliable screening tool.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression in a wide range of pathophysiologic processes.Circulating miRNAs are emerging biomarkers in heart failure, type 2 diabetes and other disease s

Abstract Spectral analysis characterises oscillatory time series behaviours such as cycles, but accurate estimation requires reasonable numbers of observations.At the time of writing, COVID-19 time series for many countries are short: pre- and post-lockdown series are shorter still.Accurate estimation of potentially interesting cycles seems beyond
