The synovium is a thin connective tissue that lines the joint space of free moving articulations. In this report, the expression, structure, and composition of non-motile (primary) cilia in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) that populate the synovium have been studied. Primary cilia are non-motile, microtubule-based organelles that have been found in a variety of vertebrate cell types. We docu...

In recent years Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) have been established worldwide to reduce the number of fractures due osteoporosis. Within framework global campaign «Capture fracture» by International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), some questionnaires proposed assess quality FLS’ organization. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are used analyze effectiveness FLS working at patient level. Thanks ...

BACKGROUND We have previously reported that anti-death receptor 5 (DR5) monoclonal antibody (mAb) is therapeutically effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a collagen-induced arthritis rat model. However, the molecular mechanism and the effect of anti-DR5 mAb on proapoptotic genes and cytokine secretion in the human fibroblast-like synovial cells (FLS) requires further clari...

A number of recent emerging applications call for studying data streams, potentially infinite flows of information updated in real-time. When multiple co-evolving data streams are observed, an important task is to determine how these streams depend on each other, accounting for dynamic dependence patterns without imposing any restrictive probabilistic law governing this dependence. In this pape...

The notion of “sequences” is fundamental to practical reasoning in computer science, because it can appropriately represent “data (information) sequences”, “program (execution) sequences”, “action sequences”, “time sequences”, “trees”, “orders” etc. The aim of this paper is thus to provide a basic logic for reasoning with sequences. A propositional modal logic LS of sequences is introduced as a...

In this paper, the nearest symmetric fuzzy solution for a symmetric L-L fuzzy linear system (S-L-FLS) is obtained by a new metric. To this end, the S-L-FLS is transformed to the non-linear programming problem (NLP). The solution of the obtained NLP is our favorite fuzzy number vector solution. Also, it is shown that if an S-L-FLS has unique fuzzy solution, then its solution is symmetric. Two co...

For the first time, we have experimentally and theoretically researched the double dressing effect on the six wave mixing photonic band gap signal (SWM BGS), probe transmission signal (PTS) and fluorescence signal (FLS) in an inverted Y-type four level atomic system. We investigate the characteristics of the SMW BGS, PTS and FLS, which can be controlled by beam, power and detuning. At the same ...

The Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) program contains curriculum that includes both a cognitive and psychomotor skills. In this research the use of FLS Block Transfer task is used to evaluate the performance of surgeons' teleoperating the University of Washington Surgical robot. The use of the FLS Trainer Box and accesso...

In this paper, we introduce a new method for cross-layer design in mobile ad hoc networks. We use fuzzy logic system (FLS) to coordinate physical layer, data-link layer and application layer for cross-layer design. Ground speed, average delay and packets successful transmission ratio are selected as antecedents for the FLS. The output of FLS provides adjusting factors for the AMC (Adaptive Modu...

We investigate if the Bank of England's liquidity facilities encourage some counterparties to participate more than others and use collateral assets is promoted others. Between 2010 2016, there was regular usage two facilities: Indexed Long-Term Repos (ILTR) Funding for Lending Scheme (FLS). show that participation in ILTR consistent with safe using meet their needs. Collateral used FLS are les...
