Global Non-Potential Magnetic Models of the Solar Corona During the March 2015 Eclipse.

Seven different models are applied to the same problem of simulating the Sun's coronal magnetic field during the solar eclipse on 2015 March 20. All of the models are non-potential, allowing for free magnetic energy, but the associated electric currents are developed in significantly different ways. This is not a direct comparison of the coronal modelling techniques, in that the different models also use different photospheric boundary conditions, reflecting the range of approaches currently used in the community.

Multi-Scale Gaussian Normalization for Solar Image Processing.

Unlabelled: Extreme ultra-violet images of the corona contain information over a wide range of spatial scales, and different structures such as active regions, quiet Sun, and filament channels contain information at very different brightness regimes. Processing of these images is important to reveal information, often hidden within the data, without introducing artefacts or bias. It is also important that any process be computationally efficient, particularly given the fine spatial and temporal resolution of on the (AIA/SDO), and consideration of future higher resolution observations.

I/D ACE gene polymorphism in survival of leukemia patients -- hypothesis and pilot study.

Angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) is involved not only in intracellular volume regulation but also in proliferation control. Since both ACE gene polymorphism (I/D ACE) and ABO blood group determine ACE level in peripheral blood and probably also in bone marrow, the hypothesis to the interindividual differences in survival of leukemic patients was suggested. The data of 25 patients of both sexes with acute myelogenous (AML), acute lymphatic (ALL), chronic myelogenous (CML) and chronic lymphatic (CLL) leukemia treated by conventional were used for the study.
