A pulse height analyzing x-ray tomography system has been developed to detect x-rays from electron Bernstein wave heated electrons in the Madison symmetric torus reversed field pinch (RFP). Cadmium zinc telluride detectors are arranged in a parallel beam array with two orthogonal multi-chord detectors that may be used for tomography. In addition a repositionable 16 channel fan beam camera with a 55° field of view is used to augment data collected with the Hard X-ray array. The chord integrated signals identify target emission from RF heated electrons striking a limiter located 12° toroidally away from the RF injection port. This provides information on heated electron spectrum, transport, and diffusion. RF induced x-ray emission from absorption on harmonic electron cyclotron resonances in low current (<250 kA) RFP discharges has been observed.

Mitochondrial maladaptation and dysfunction contribute to the progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). The authors recently implicated the induction of Shc in progressive MASH during aging and the cytoplasmic p52Shc isoform in the activation of redox enzyme NOX2. The mitochondrial Shc isoform p46Shc was shown to repress acetyl-coenzyme A acyltransferase 2 (ACAA2) in vitro.

Magnetic reconnection has been commonly reported between the solar wind IMF and the magnetic field of Earth and other planets. A similar phenomenon is expected between Jupiter's magnetosphere and Ganymede's mini magnetosphere inside the Jovian magnetosphere. This article is the first report of a reconnection event in the tail region of Ganymede.

Myosin storage myopathy (MSM) is a rare skeletal muscle disorder caused by mutations in the slow muscle/β-cardiac myosin heavy chain (MHC) gene. MSM missense mutations frequently disrupt the tail's stabilizing heptad repeat motif. Disease hallmarks include subsarcolemmal hyaline-like β-MHC aggregates, muscle weakness, and, occasionally, cardiomyopathy.

The Wentzel, Kramers, and Brillouin (WKB) approximation of geometrical optics is widely used in plasma physics, quantum mechanics, and reduced wave modeling, in general. However, it is well-known that the approximation breaks down at focal and turning points. In this paper, we present an unsupervised numerical implementation of the recently developed metaplectic geometrical optics framework, which extends the applicability of geometrical optics beyond the limitations of WKB, such that the wave field remains finite at caustics.

Introduction: Macular Telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel), is an uncommon form of late-onset, slowly-progressive macular degeneration. Associated with regional Müller glial cell loss in the retina and the amino acid serine synthesized by Müller cells, the disease is functionally confined to a central retinal region - the MacTel zone.
Methods: We have used high-throughput multi-resolution electron microscopy techniques, optimized for disease analysis, to study the retinas from two women, mother and daughter, aged 79 and 48 years respectively, suffering from MacTel.
