Applications of classification of C*-algebras by Neagu, R-M

“…In the tracial case, we obtain similar results for all finite classifiable C^∗-algebras with real rank zero.</p> <br> <p>In the last chapter, we use classification techniques involving the trace-kernel extension to show that the property that all amenable traces are quasidiagonal is invariant under homotopy for separable exact C^∗-algebras that have a faithful amenable trace.…”

Interannual coral Δ14C records of surface water exchange across the Luzon Strait by Ramos, R. D., Goodkin, N. F., Druffel, E. R. M., Fan, T. Y., Siringan, F. P.

“…The mean amount of water exchanged across the straitfrom 1970 to 1999 was 2.2 Sv, ranging from−13.4 to 16 Sv, where a positive (negative) value indicates netflow into (out of) the SCS. A weaker East Asian Winter Monsoon increases the contribution of the SCSoutflow on the Kuroshio Intrusion‐dominated LS, while the El Niño–Southern Oscillation primarily drivesthe intrusion into the SCS. …”

Increasing Dengue Incidence in Singapore over the Past 40 Years: Population Growth, Climate and Mobility by Struchiner, Claudio Jose, Rocklöv, Joacim, Wilder-Smith, Annelies, Massad, Eduardo

“…We used multivariable Poisson regression models with the following predictors: Annual Population Size; Aedes Premises Index; Mean Annual Temperature; Minimum and Maximum Temperature Recorded in each year; Annual Precipitation and Annual Number of Air Passengers arriving from dengue-endemic South-East Asia to Singapore. The relative risk (RR) of the increase in dengue incidence due to population growth over the study period was 42.7, while the climate variables (mean and minimum temperature) together explained an RR of 7.1 (RR defined as risk at the end of the time period relative to the beginning and goodness of fit associated with the model leading to these estimates assessed by pseudo-R2 equal to 0.83). …”

Induced transtensional earthquakes after the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in the compressional collision belt of western Taiwan by Lee, Timothy Ting-Yu, Chan, Chung-Han, Shyu, J. Bruce H., Wu, Yih-Min, Huang, Hsin-Hua

“…We used relocated seismicity and earthquake focal mechanisms to show that this sequence is likely occurred along a subsurface fault that strikes N10°W and dips 80° to the east, at depths greater than 5 km. A Coulomb stress change analysis also shows that this aftershock sequence were located in the area of stress increase due to the Chi-Chi earthquake. …”

“…Moreover, our results also unequivocally indicated that ROS could serve as one non-negligible factor to overcome the endo/lysosomal barriers and to facilitate the fast translocation of caged drugs into nucleus. This study provided a simple strategy to investigate the details regarding the rapid intracellular drug redistribution by overcoming the different biological barriers in resistant cancer cells, which could help to better understand the mechanisms of drug delivery, and it may also facilitate the rational design of new carrier systems towards the enhanced drug activity in cancer therapy. …”
