Multiple-Transmit Focusing for the Nondestructive Testing of Downhole Casings Based on Borehole Transient Electromagnetic Systems

Borehole transient electromagnetic (TEM) array has proven to be efficient for the downhole Car Alarm with Remote Starter [Bundle] nondestructive testing (NDT) of metal casings through the eddy-current property.However, restricted by bad downhole conditions, the simple increase of the receiving array is not sufficient enough for improving the downho

A Review of African Swine Fever and the Potential for Introduction into the United States and the Possibility of Subsequent Establishment in Feral Swine and Native Ticks

African swine fever (ASF) is caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV), which can cause substantial morbidity and mortality events in swine.The virus can be transmitted via direct and indirect contacts with infected swine, their products, or competent vector species, especially Ornithodoros ticks.Africa and much of Eastern Europe are endemic for A

Transcription is required to establish maternal imprinting at the Prader-Willi syndrome and Angelman syndrome locus.

The Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS [MIM 17620]) and Angelman syndrome (AS [MIM 105830]) locus is controlled by a bipartite imprinting center (IC) consisting of the PWS-IC and the AS-IC.The most widely accepted model of IC function proposes that the PWS-IC activates gene expression from the paternal allele, while the AS-IC acts to epigenetically inactiv
