Kankalitila, Mathura: Surya wearing northern dress, about 1st Century A.D.
No full textAmong the Brahmanical images in Mathuran art, those of the solar deities seem to show the greatest amount of borrowed elements from foreign lands, The worship of the sun-god, Surya, was first introduced under the cult of Mitra, popular in Iranian religion, which entered India with the Kushans who were from the area of Iran originally, Iconographically, Surya appears in several forms, but perhaps that which most closely reflects the image the Kushans had of themselves is that of Surya dressed as an emperor in northern styles wearing a turban, coat fastened with a belt, occasionally trousers, and boots, In his right hand he holds a flower, in his left a broad-bladed dagger, Gradually, the dagger was replaced by a lotus, and thereafter this type of symbolism in conjunction with Surya remained the standard type from the Gupta Period onward, -- Mathura, Curzon Museum
Data for Gupta et al., "Estimating the Meridional Extent of Adiabatic Mixing in the Stratosphere using Age-of-Air", JGR:Atmospheres,
No full textModel data and post-processed data supporting the creation of the manuscript "Estimating the Meridional Extent of Adiabatic Mixing in the Stratosphere using Age-of-Air" submitted to JGR:Atmospheres in August 2022.
1) The netCDF files created through post-processing of full model data in FORTRAN are shared in the /data/ directory. These file contains the zonal mean circulation statistics based on Gupta et al. (2020), age-of-air transport diagnostics based on Linz et al. (2021), and the novel \Gamma-\Theta circulation streamfunction introduced in this study. The /data/ directory also contains MATLAB .mat data files for the transport diagnostics obtained from WACCM. 150 days of actual GFDL-FV3 model data in the northern hemisphere, between 0.1 hPa-500 hPa pressure levels is also provided to support external computations and validation.
2) The Jupyter notebook used for final computation and figures production is provided in .ipynb, .html and .pdf formats in /code/. All the files referred to in the notebook are stored in the /data/ directory.

Global maps of potential and climatic plant-available soil water
No full textThe potential plant-available soil water is the difference between wilting point and field capacity (FC). Soil water content at FC is estimated using the approach developed by Assouline and Or (2014) that considers a dynamic definition of FC based on soil-specific matric potential values beyond which the soil water continuity is substantially reduced or disrupted. For calculations of soil water content at FC we use the van Genuchten soil water characteristic curves from Gupta et al., (2022).
Furthermore, we introduce the climatic plant-available soil water that considers potential evaporation and the average number of consecutive dry days between rainfall events. The consecutive dry days were obtained from Bickel and Or (2021).
This repository contains four global maps at 1km resolution per 1m soil depth:
matric potential at FC [m]
water content at FC [m3/m3]
potential plant-available soil water [mm]
climatic plant-available soil water [mm]

First person – Akash Gupta
No full textFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Akash Gupta is first author on ‘A novel and cost-effective ex vivo orthotopic model for the study of human breast cancer in mouse mammary gland organ culture’, published in BiO. Akash conducted the research described in this article while a PhD Scholar in Rajendra Mehta's lab at IIT Research Institute, Chicago, USA. He is now an assistant research scientist in the lab of Syreeta L. Tilghman at the University of Arizona, Department of Medicine, Tucson, USA, investigating drug efficacy modeling using human organoids culture for the treatment of cancers
Features of retinitis-like lesions in vitreoretinal lymphoma
No full textPurpose: To describe the distinguishing features of retinitis-like lesions seen in vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL) from viral and toxoplasma retinitis. Methods: In this multicenter, retrospective study, we reviewed charts and imaging of consecutive patients with VRL. The associated features and the characteristics of retinitis-like lesions were assessed and compared with those of viral and toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis. Primary outcome measures were the unique features of VRL retinitis-like lesions. Results: Out of 76 eyes of 38 patients with VRL, retinitis-like lesions were identified in 6 eyes and confirmed on OCT. Distinctive features of VRL retinitis-like lesions were massive retinal thickening, associated sub-retinal pigment epithelium infiltrates and partial restoration of retinal layers after specific therapy. Conclusion: VRL can present with retinitis-like lesions that have distinctive OCT features on presentation as well as healing that can help to differentiate them from other lookalike etiologies and can guide further diagnostic and therapeutic interventions

Universal Statistical Properties of Inertial-particle Trajectories in Three-dimensional, Homogeneous, Isotropic, Fluid Turbulence
No full textWe obtain new universal statistical properties of heavy-particle trajectories in three-dimensional, statistically steady, homogeneous, and isotropic turbulent flows by direct numerical simulations. We show that the probability distribution functions (PDFs) P(Φ), of the angle Φ between the Eulerian velocity u and the particle velocity v, at a point and time, scales as P(Φ) ∼Φ−, with a new universal exponent ≃ 4
Mutual-Friction Coefficients in Two-Dimensional Superfluids: From the Gross-Pitaevskii equation to the Hall-Vinen-Bekharevich-Khalatnikov Two-fluid Model
No full textWe start from the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) and develop algorithms for the ab-initio determination of the temperature (T) dependence of the mutual-friction coefficients, α and α, and the normal-fluid density Pn, which appear as parameters in the Hall-Vinen-Bekharevich-Khalatnikov (HVBK) two-fluid model for a superfluid. In the second part of our study, we elucidate the statistical properties of two-dimensional, homogeneous, isotropic superfluid turbulence in the simplified HVBK model, with values for the mutual-friction coefficients that are comparable to those we obtain from the first part of our study
