The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a potential role in the development of end-organ damage, and tissue RAS activation has been suggested as a risk factor of several diseases including diabetes. So far, using animal disease models, we have shown molecular mechanisms, in which tissue RAS stimulates retinal angiogenesis, and the critical roles of (pro)renin receptor [(P)RR] in retinal RAS ac...

Abstract This paper focuses on a heterogeneous redundancy allocation problem (RAP) for multi-state series-parallel systems subject to probabilistic common-cause failure and proposes novel discrete bat algorithm solve it. Although abundant research studies have been published solving RAPs, few of them studied common cause failure, which motivates this paper. Due the insufficient data components,...

The goal of the REMINE project is to build a high performance prediction, detection and monitoring platform for managing Risks against Patient Safety (RAPS). Part of the work involves developing an ontology enabling computer-assisted RAPS decision support on the basis of the disease history of a patient as documented in a hospital information system. A requirement of the ontology is to contain ...

The effect of pheromones of Hopkins on the at t ract ion of Ips pini (Say) to its pheromone, ipsdienol, was investigated in stands of lodgepole pine. The mixture of cisand trans-verbenol significantly reduced catches of 1. pini in t raps baited with ipsdienol at three locations in British Columbia. exo-Brevicomin had no effect on catches of f. pini, irrespective of the enantiomeric composition ...
