Pseudomonas aeruginosa ExoU augments neutrophil transepithelial migration. by Michael A Pazos, Bernard B Lanter, Lael M Yonker, Alex D Eaton, Waheed Pirzai, Karsten Gronert, Joseph V Bonventre, Bryan P Hurley

“…Using in vitro and in vivo models of neutrophil transepithelial migration, we evaluated the impact of ExoU expression on eicosanoid generation and function. We conclude that ExoU, by virtue of its PLA2 activity, augments and compensates for endogenous host neutrophil cPLA2α function, leading to enhanced transepithelial migration. …”

Toward Utilizing Similarity in Hydrologic Data Assimilation by Haksu Lee, Haojing Shen, Yuqiong Liu

“…This signifies the importance of accounting for the phase error in order to reduce the error in the amplitude estimate of the sine function. The second, real-world example illustrates that timing errors in simulated flow degrade the data assimilation performance, and that the flow gradient-informed shifting of rainfall time series improved the assimilation results with less adjusting model states. …”
