STUDY OF UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT ENDOSCOPIC FINDINGS IN PORTAL HYPERTENSION


The Sequence and a Three-Dimensional Structural Analysis Reveal Substrate Specificity among Snake Venom Phosphodiesterases

(1) Background.Snake venom phosphodiesterases (SVPDEs) are among the least studied venom enzymes.In envenomation, they display various pathological effects, including induction of hypotension, inhibition of platelet aggregation, edema, and paralysis.Until now, there have been no 3D structural studies of these enzymes, thereby preventing structure&#

Investigating the Efficacy of the SMAP Downscaled Soil Moisture Product for Drought Monitoring Based on Information Theory

Soil moisture (SM) information can be routinely obtained from high-quality microwave retrievals at a global scale—such as datasets generated by the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission.In this article, using mutual information (MI) theory, we investigate the efficacy of the downscaled SMAP/Sentinel-1 L2 3-km EASE-Grid SM produc
