Bax and Bak are two nuclear-encoded proteins present in higher eukaryotes that are able to
pierce the mitochondrial outer membrane to mediate cell death by apoptosis. Thus, …

The central role of the Bcl-2 family in regulating apoptotic cell death was first identified in the
1980s. Since then, significant in-roads have been made in identifying the multiple members …

An intercomparison study involving eight dust emission/transport models over Asia (DMIP)
has been completed. Participating dust models utilize a variety of dust emission schemes, …

On April 15 and 19, 1998, two intense dust storms were generated over the Gobi desert by
springtime low‐pressure systems descending from the northwest. The windblown dust was …

X-ray lasers offer new capabilities in understanding the structure of biological systems,
complex materials and matter under extreme conditions 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 . Very short and extremely …

In stressed cells, apoptosis ensues when Bcl-2 family members Bax or Bak oligomerize and
permeabilize the mitochondrial outer membrane. Certain BH3-only relatives can directly …

The numerical algorithms which we use to simulate the advection, diffusion, sedimentation,
coagulation and condensational growth of atmospheric aerosols are described. The model …

… a, Upward- and downward-pointing radar reflectivity with respect to flight time and derived
general effective size (D ge ) of ice-crystals from combined lidar and radar measurements. b, …

Numerical models of the atmosphere and aerosols are used to investigate mobilization and
transport of Saharan dust over West Africa and the tropical Atlantic Ocean for 23–28 August …

During the summer of 2003, biomass fires burned a large area of Siberia, the largest in at
least 10 years. We used the NRL Aerosol Analysis and Prediction System (NAAPS) model to …
