ADJUSTMENTS OF THE TAD ELECTRON DENSITY RECONSTRUCTION MODEL WITH GNSS-TEC PARAMETERS FOR OPERATIONAL APPLICATION PURPOSES

Adjustments of the TaD electron density reconstruction model with GNSS-TEC parameters for operational application purposes

Validation results on the latest version of TaD model (TaDv2) show realistic reconstruction of the electron density profiles (EDPs) with an average error of 3 TECU, similar to the error obtained from GNSS-TEC calculated paremeters.The work presented here has the aim to further improve the accuracy of the TaD topside reconstruction, adjusting the TE

Single cell RNA sequencing confirms retinal microglia activation associated with early onset retinal degeneration

Abstract Mutations in the Membrane-type frizzled related protein (Mfrp) gene results in an early-onset retinal degeneration associated with retinitis pigmentosa, microphthalmia, optic disc drusen and foveal schisis.In the current study, a previously characterized mouse model of human retinal degeneration carrying homozygous c.498_499insC mutations
