Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring turbulent gas flux using high-speed vertical wind speed measurements (e.g., on the order of 5-10 Hz or more frequently) and low-speed gas content measurements (e.g., on the order of 5 Hz or less frequently), without the need for the sophisticated and expensive high-speed hardware to separate gas samples (e.g., into accumulation bags) according to updrafts and downdrafts. A time series of high-speed vertical wind speed data is used as a guide to distinguish between updrafts and downdrafts. When vertical wind speed is upward (updraft), the low-speed gas content is recorded into a data structure in one location, or marked with one flag. When vertical wind speed is downward (downdraft), the low-speed gas content is recorded into a different location, or marked with a different flag. Eddy Accumulation or Relaxed Eddy Accumulation computations can be performed using the stored gas content data to determine gas flux.

Abstract: Therapeutic combinations of a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, including PI3K inhibitors selective for the ?- and ?-isoforms and selective for both ?- and ?-isoforms (PI3K-?,?, PI3K-?, and PI3K-?), a Janus kinase-2 (JAK-2) inhibitor, a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, and/or a B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitor are described. In some embodiments, the invention provides therapeutic combinations of a PI3K-? inhibitor and a BTK inhibitor, a JAK-2 and a BTK inhibitor, and a BCL-2 and BTK inhibitor.
