Large perturbation flow field analysis and simulation for supersonic inlets

An analysis technique for simulation of supersonic mixed compression inlets with large flow field perturbations is presented. The approach is based upon a quasi-one-dimensional inviscid unsteady formulation which includes engineering models of unstart/restart, bleed, bypass, and geometry effects. Numerical solution of the governing time dependent equations of motion is accomplished through a shock capturing finite difference algorithm, of which five separate approaches are evaluated. Comparison with experimental supersonic wind tunnel data is presented to verify the present approach for a wide range of transient inlet flow conditions

Integrated genomic characterization of endometrial carcinoma

We performed an integrated genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic characterization of 373 endometrial carcinomas using array- and sequencing-based technologies. Uterine serous tumours and ~25% of high-grade endometrioid tumours had extensive copy number alterations, few DNA methylation changes, low oestrogen receptor/progesterone receptor levels, and frequent TP53 mutations. Most endometrioid tumours had few copy number alterations or TP53 mutations, but frequent mutations in PTEN, CTNNB1, PIK3CA, ARID1A and KRAS and novel mutations in the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex gene ARID5B. A subset of endometrioid tumours that we identified had a markedly increased transversion mutation frequency and newly identified hotspot mutations in POLE. Our results classified endometrial cancers into four categories: POLE ultramutated, microsatellite instability hypermutated, copy-number low, and copy-number high. Uterine serous carcinomas share genomic features with ovarian serous and basal-like breast carcinomas. We demonstrated that the genomic features of endometrial carcinomas permit a reclassification that may affect post-surgical adjuvant treatment for women with aggressive tumours.National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant 5U24CA143799-04)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant 5U24CA143835-04)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant 5U24CA143840-04)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant 5U24CA143843-04)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant 5U24CA143845-04)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant 5U24CA143848-04)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant 5U24CA143858-04)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant 5U24CA143866-04)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant 5U24CA143867-04)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant 5U24CA143882-04)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant 5U24CA143883-04)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant 5U24CA144025-04)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant U54HG003067-11)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant U54HG003079-10)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant U54HG003273-10
