Involvement of Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Receptor in the Formation of a Profibrotic Microenvironment in the Epicardial Region by K. V. Dergilev, Z. I. Tsokolayeva, I. B. Beloglazova, Yu. D. Vasilets, D. O. Traktuyev, B. N. Kulbitsky, E. V. Parfenova

“…Our work suggests that the urokinase receptor (uPAR) is involved in the regulation of mesothelial cell activity and epicardial fibrosis development, which, when interacting with specific ligands and intermediate proteins, can activate intracellular signaling, trigger the cascade of proteolytic reactions, including local plasmin formation and activation of matrix metalloproteinases, providing matrix remodeling.Objective: to perform a comparative study of fibrogenic activity of the epicardium in the hearts of uPAR-/- and wild-type animals and evaluate the effect of cardiac microenvironment factors on the migration activity of epicardial mesothelial cells.Material and methods. We used histological and immunofluorescent staining, microarray analysis of proinflammatory cytokine levels, and a method for assessing the migratory properties of epicardial cells.Results. …”

Groundwater Exploration for Sustainable Development and Management in a Hard Rock Basin by Deepa Subramani, Pradeep Kamaraj

“…It is more appropriate to compare the electrical conductivity to geophysical resistivity surveys in these areas since the conductivity of the subsurface layer is poor in arid and semiarid regions. A 3 km equal grid was created to use the Schlumberger electrical resistivity method by using the SSR-MP-AT resistivity meter due to its great utility in defining the pattern of subsurface layers (weathered zone and fracture pattern, among others). …”

Numerical Simulation on Drag Reduction for Flow Past Two Tandem Cylinders with Reinforcement Learning by Qiujing HU, Yan WANG

“…In this paper, the drag reduction of flow past two tandem cylinders was studied by placing zero-mass jets on the cylinder surface and using a deep reinforcement learning method to control the jet flow adaptively. Firstly, the numerical simulation of the flow past two cylinders with equal diameters was carried out, and the resulting lift and drag coefficient were in good agreement with the literature, which verified the grid independence of the numerical method. …”
