RDMA data transfer and GPU acceleration methods for high-throughput online processing of serial crystallography images.

The continual evolution of photon sources and high-performance detectors drives cutting-edge experiments that can produce very high throughput data streams and generate large data volumes that are challenging to manage and store. In these cases, efficient data transfer and processing architectures that allow online image correction, data reduction or compression become fundamental. This work investigates different technical options and methods for data placement from the detector head to the processing computing infrastructure, taking into account the particularities of modern modular high-performance detectors.

Cytogenetic Studies of Rwandan Pediatric Patients Presenting with Global Developmental Delay, Intellectual Disability and/or Multiple Congenital Anomalies.

Global developmental delay (GDD) is defined as a significant delay in two or more developmental domains: gross or fine motor, speech/language, cognitive, social/personal and activities of daily living. Many of these children will go on to be diagnosed with intellectual disability (ID), which is most commonly defined as having an IQ <75 in addition to impairment in adaptive functioning. Cytogenetic studies have been performed in 664 Rwandan pediatric patients presenting GDD/ID and/or multiple congenital abnormalities (MCA).

Rhabdomyolysis with Acute Renal Failure and Deep Vein Thrombosis Induced by Antipsychotic Drugs: A Case Report.

Atypical antipsychotics, the first line therapy for schizophrenia, have already been reported as causing rhabdomyolysis or isolated elevation in serum creatine kinase (SCK). This case report dealing with rhabdomyolysis in a 25-year-old man treated with antipsychotics is particularly unusual, due to the extremely high elevation in SCK and the ensuing acute renal failure. He was treated with loxapine 400 mg/day and risperidone 4 mg/day for 4 days and then loxapine was replaced by levomepromazine 300 mg/day.

Effects of ACh and adenosine mediated by Kir3.1 and Kir3.4 on ferret ventricular cells.

The inotropic effects of ACh and adenosine on ferret ventricular cells were investigated with the action potential-clamp technique. Under current clamp, both agonists resulted in action potential shortening and a decrease in contraction. Under action potential clamp, both agonists failed to decrease contraction substantially.

AtZFP1, encoding Arabidopsis thaliana C2H2 zinc-finger protein 1, is expressed downstream of photomorphogenic activation.

C2H2 zinc-finger proteins play important roles in plant development including floral organogenesis, leaf initiation, lateral shoot initiation, gametogenesis and seed development. The gene for one such protein from Arabidopsis, AtZFP1 (Arabidopsis thaliana zinc-finger protein 1), is expressed at high levels in the shoot apex, including the apical meristem, developing leaves and the developing vascular system. In light-grown seedlings, AtZFP1 expression is induced about three days after germination, before the expansion of the true leaves.
