Increase in transendothelial water permeability is an essential etiological factor in a variety of diseases like edema and shock. Despite the high clinical relevance, there has been no precise method to detect transendothelial water flow until now. The deuterium oxide (D 2 O) dilution method, already established for measuring transepithelial water transport, was used to precisely determine the transendothelial water permeabili...

Atmospheric dispersion models are applied to describe and predict the dispersion of emitted plumes. Here, we describe the Lagrangian Atmospheric Radionuclide Transport Model (ARTM) 2.8.0 which was developed to simulate the atmospheric dispersion of the emissions of nuclear facilities under routine operation for regulatory purposes over annual time scales. ARTM includes a diagnostic wind field model and a particle dispersion mo...
