Angiogenesis and non-small cell lung cancer
No full textLung cancer is the commonest cause of cancer death in the western world. Recent evidence suggests that angiogenesis is related to poor prognosis in many solid tumours including non-small cell lung cancer. Angiogenesis is controlled by a complex interaction between growth and apoptotic factors, proteases and adhesion molecules. The angiogenic process may prove a target for novel therapies such as matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors, growth factor antisense RNA, growth factor receptor antagonists and naturally occurring antiangiogenic peptides. These agents may be used alone or in combination with traditional chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd
Characterization of Recent Earthquake Sequences and Swarms within the Walker Lane Tectonic Region
No full textWe use a variety of techniques, starting with precise earthquake relocation to characterize the spatio-temporal evolution of sequences and swarms within the Walker Lane tectonic region, investigating fault structure and earthquake interaction. This dissertation consists of 3 chapters as well as appendices (A-C) which contribute additional results. For the 2017 Truckee sequence, we use relocation and source parameter analysis to investigate fault structure and earthquake interaction of small-magnitude earthquakes. Two high-angle, left-lateral strike-slip earthquakes (Mw 3.65 foreshock and Mw 3.85 mainshock), occurred 7 min apart, ∼20 km north of Truckee, California, on 27 June 2017. We relocate 50 out of 52 earthquakes which define a single structure between 5 and 6 km depth, trending ∼N45°E and dipping ∼70°�"80° to the northwest, matching well with both moment tensor solutions and first-motion focal mechanisms. We observe average stress drops of ∼5 MPa using P and S waves and spatial variation related to the rupture areas of the foreshock and mainshock. We are able to detect components of directivity toward the northeast for the foreshock (Mw 3.65) and directivity toward the southwest for the mainshock (Mw 3.85), both aligning with the fault plane. Our study of the 2014 Virginia City Swarm reveals complex structural features, including an interplay of both fluid‐driven and aseismic‐driven earthquake migration near Virginia City, NV over ~10 days in January 2014. We relocate 305 events to reveal three separate, well‐defined planar structures. We observe the spatio-temporal characteristics which initially expose migration rates consistent with pore fluid diffusion, outlining a moderately dipping plane. The earthquakes then jump to a vertical plane and migrate at a higher rate; the sequence continues to migrate rapidly onto a third, shallowly dipping plane, consistent with rates observed elsewhere associated with aseismic creep. Focal mechanisms indicate right‐lateral strike slip on the vertical plane and both normal and left‐lateral strike slip movement on the other planes, and the newly imaged structures illuminate the orientation of active faults at depth in the Walker Lane tectonic region.The Nine Mile Ranch sequence began on Dec. 28th, 2016 with a multiplet of three moderate sized earthquakes (Mw 5.6, Mw 5.4, and an Mw 5.5) southwest of Hawthorne, NV, and all within one hour. In this study, we use earthquake relocation to detect active structures and characterize the spatio-temporal evolution and mechanics of the sequence. We combine the results with GPS analyses to investigate characteristics of faulting and tectonics of the Walker Lane. We relocate over 6000 events from the sequence, with structures matching moment tensor solutions and focal mechanisms indicating predominantly right- and left-lateral strike-slip and few normal ruptures. Results reveal orthogonal conjugate structures �" one trending ~N57W and dipping to the northeast, and one trending ~N33E, vertical-dipping fault plane at the southern terminus of the NW trending fault plane. Our analysis and Coulomb model shows that the initial event likely occurred on the left-lateral NE fault plane. GPS analyses indicate a transtensional environment, with the coseismic offset of the closest four GPS stations slightly misaligned with the long term average strain tensor. The NMR sequence was likely driven by tectonics, and the multiplet of events may be related to static stress changes and fault readiness. Unmapped faults, fault complexity, and the dip of the faults at depth can assist us in estimating the potential for hazard in other basins within the Walker Lane. Structurally, orthogonal conjugate faulting in this sequence may be due to shear band formation below the brittle crust. These analyses illustrate details for modeling hazard which include fault geometry, local earthquake drivers, source properties and rupture directivity. By documenting these variables consistently, we can establish a baseline of observations for future work. We also gain insights to the variable nature of Walker Lane seismicity, as well as understanding earthquake physics and interaction that are observed throughout the world

Evaluating carbon offsets from forestry and energy projects
No full textUnder the Kyoto Protocol, industrial countries accept caps on their emissions of greenhouse gases. They are permitted to acquire offsetting emissions reductions from developing countries - which do not have emissions limitations - to assist in complying with these caps. Because these emissions reductions are defined against a hypothetical baseline, practical issues arise in ensuring that the reductions are genuine. Forestry-related emissions reduction projects are often thought to present greater difficulties in measurement and implementation, than energy-related emissions reduction projects. The author discusses how project characteristics affect the process for determining compliance with each of the criteria for qualifying. Those criteria are: 1) Additionality. Would these emissions reductions not have taken place without the project? 2) Baseline and systems boundaries (leakage). What would business-as-usual emissions have been without the project? And in this comparison, how broad should spatial, and temporal system boundaries be? 3) Measurement (or sequestration). How accurately can we measure actual with-project emissions levels? 4) Duration or permanence. Will the project have an enduring mitigating effect? 5) Local impact. Will the project benefit its neighbors? For all the criteria except permanence, it is difficult to find generic distinctions between land use change and forestry and energy projects, since both categories comprise diverse project types. The important distinctions among projects have to do with such things as: a) The level and distribution of the project's direct financial benefits. b) How much the project is integrated with the larger system. c) The project components'internal homogeneity and geographic dispersion. d) The local replicability of project technologies. Permanence is an issue specific to land use and forestry projects. The author describes various approaches to ensure permanence, or adjust credits for duration: the ton-year approach (focusing on the benefits from deferring climatic damage, and rewarding longer deferral); the combination approach (bundling current land use change and forestry emissions reductions with future reductions in the buyer's allowed amount); a technology-acceleration approach; and an insurance approach.Montreal Protocol,Environmental Economics&Policies,Climate Change,Decentralization,Global Environment Facility,Environmental Economics&Policies,Energy and Environment,Carbon Policy and Trading,Montreal Protocol,Climate Change
Heat Transfer to Sprays and Flowing Gases
No full textTitle: Heat Transfer to Sprays and Flowing Gases, Author: Kenneth G. Pollock, Location: ThodeAn experimental investigation of an Atomized Suspension Technique
system was carried out in an experimental apparatus of semi-pilot plant
scale. The complex gas flow patterns which occur in such systems as the
result of the interaction of natural convection and forced convection
prevented a quantitative analysis of the system. The problem was then approached by dividing the overall process into
a number of idealized studies; these were convection in the entrance region,
radiation to a gas, radiation to a cloud of droplets. A theoretical model was developed to predict heat-transfer rates
and gas temperature profiles in the entrance region (x/D < 2) of a
cylindrical coolumn. The model was verified experimentally. A theoretical gas- radiation model was developed using the zoning
technique of Hottel. Experimental gas-temperature measurerrents qualitatively
verified the model. An investigation of the established immersion cell technique for
the determination of drop-size distributions in sprays indicated that
this technique could not be used with any confidence in systems where
the spray is moving at low velocities. Several experimental devices and techniques were developed
throughout the course of this study.ThesisDoctor of Philosophy (PhD
