A detailed evaluation of the current renal response criteria in al amyloidosis: is it time for a revision?
(Ferrata Storti Foundation (Haematologica), 2013-05-31)Organ response correlates with overall survival in patients with immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis and is the goal of treatment. This study evaluates the current renal response criteria and their ability to predict ... -
A differential interplay between the expression of th1/th2/treg related cytokine genes in teladorsagia circumcincta infected drb1*1101 carrier lambs
(Springer Nature, 2011-01-01)Substantial debate exists on whether the immune response between sheep resistant and susceptible to gastrointestinal nematodes can be differentiated into a Th1 and Th2 phenotype. The present study addresses the hypothesis ... -
A dileucine in the protease of botulinum toxin a underlies its long-lived neuroparalysis
(American Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (ASBMB), 2010-12-07)Blockade of neurotransmitter release by botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT(A)) underlies the severe neuroparalytic symptoms of human botulism, which can last a few years. The structural basis for this remarkable persistence ... -
A distinct profile of tryptophan metabolism along the kynurenine pathway downstream of toll-like receptor activation in irritable bowel syndrome
(Frontiers Media SA, 2012-01-01)Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a disorder of the brain-gut axis, is characterised by the absence of reliable biological markers. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that serves as a precursor to serotonin but which can ... -
A double segment periodicity underlies segment generation in centipede development
(Elsevier BV, 2004-07-01)The number of leg-bearing segments in centipedes varies extensively, between 15 and 191, and yet it is always odd [1, 2]. This suggests that segment generation in centipedes involves a stage with double segment periodicity ... -
A family of [ni8] cages templated by μ6-peroxide from dioxygen activation
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2014-01-01)A family of exceptionally thermally stable [Ni-8] cages is reported, each being templated by a rare eta(3):eta(3):mu(6)-O-2(2-) species produced by dioxygen activation, where the reducing agent for the O-2 reduction appears ... -
A family of symmetric designs
(Elsevier BV, 1995-11-01)An embedding theorem for certain quasi-residual designs is proved and is used to construct a series of symmetric designs with upsilon a = (1 + 16 + ... + 16(m))9 + 16(m+1), k = (1 + 16 + ... + 16(m))9, and lambda =(1 + 16 ... -
A field deployable method for a rapid screening analysis of inorganic arsenic in seaweed
(Springer Nature, 2017-03-18)Inorganic arsenic (iAs) in 13 store-bought edible seaweed samples and 34 dried kelp (Laminaria digitata) samples was determined by a newly developed, field-deployable method (FDM) with the aid of a field test kit for arsenic ... -
A finite element study of microstructure-sensitive plasticity and crack nucleation in fretting

A first test of the implicit relational assessment procedure as a measure of self-esteem: irish prisoner groups and university students
(Springer Nature, 2009-07-01)The study examined the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure's (IRAP) validity as a computerized response-latency-based measure of implicit self-esteem. University undergraduates and 2 sets of convicted prisoners ... -
A fixed point theorem for condensing operators and applications to hammerstein integral equations in banach spaces
(Elsevier BV, 1995-11-01)We prove a fixed point theorem of Purl Pera type for condensing operators. This will then be used to establish the existence of solutions to certain integral equations of Hammerstein type in Banach spaces. -
A fixed-point approach for nonlinear discrete boundary value problems

A flexible r package for nonnegative matrix factorization
(Springer Nature, 2010-01-01)Background: Nonnegative Matrix Factorization ( NMF) is an unsupervised learning technique that has been applied successfully in several fields, including signal processing, face recognition and text mining. Recent applications ... -
A fluid-structure interaction model to characterize bone cell stimulation in parallel-plate flow chamber systems
(The Royal Society, 2013-01-30)Bone continuously adapts its internal structure to accommodate the functional demands of its mechanical environment and strain-induced flow of interstitial fluid is believed to be the primary mediator of mechanical stimuli ... -
A fluorescence anisotropy method for measuring protein concentration in complex cell culture media

A framework for access to the conservation–restoration profession via the mapping of its specialist competencies
(Springer Nature, 2011-06-04)The paper describes how specific descriptors for the Conservation-Restoration profession have been developed by the European Confederation of Conservator-Restorers' Organizations. The result of which is in accordance with ... -
A framework for hardware efficient reusable ip core for grayscale image codec
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-01-01)This paper proposes two major novelties. First, we provide a mathematical framework for hardware resource efficient IP core-based image compression and decompression (CODEC). The framework includes CODEC functions that are ... -
A functional approach to uncover the low-temperature adaptation strategies of the archaeon methanosarcina barkeri
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-05-03)Low-temperature anaerobic digestion (LTAD) technology is underpinned by a diverse microbial community. The methanogenic archaea represent a key functional group in these consortia, undertaking CO2 reduction as well as ... -
A functional-analytic model of analogy using the relational evaluation procedure
(Springer Nature, 2004-10-01)Analogical reasoning is conceptualized by Relational Frame Theory as responding in accordance with an equivalence relation between equivalence or other types of derived stimulus relations. The purpose of this study was to ...
