Peptidergic afferent renal nerves (PARN) have been linked to kidney damage in hypertension and nephritis. Neither the receptors nor the signals controlling local release of neurokinines [calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP)] and signal transmission to the brain are well-understood. We tested the hypothesis that PARN, compared with nonrenal afferents (Non-RN), are more sen...

Let p be a prime number. We say that a number field F satisfies the condition (H ′ pn) when any abelian extension N/F of exponent dividing p has a normal integral basis with respect to the ring of p-integers. We also say that F satisfies (H ′ p∞) when it satisfies (H ′ pn) for all n ≥ 1. It is known that the rationals Q satisfy (H ′ p∞) for all prime numbers p. In this paper, we give a simple c...

Fokienia hodginsii seedlings tend to vary significantly in response differences the surrounding environment, especially when nutrient environment is heterogeneous and neighboring plants are competition. Plant physiological occur not only root system, but also photosynthetic characteristics fluorescence parameters of leaves. Therefore, this experiment, three planting modes (single planting, pure...

The nutrition support clinician must understand and evaluate all aspects of parenteral nutrition (PN) to maximize benefits while avoiding unfavorable consequences for the patients in the intensive care unit. The various aspects in caring for the PN patient include appropriate patient selection, intravenous access choice and maintenance, and individualized PN prescription to meet each patient's ...

Indirect immunohistochemistry and an androgen receptor antibody. PG-21, was used to characterize rhe onlogeny of cells containing androgen receptor-like immunoreactivity (AR-ir) and the effects of exogenous testosterone administration on AR-ir in the developing Brazilian opossum brain. Cells containing AR-ir were first seen in the anterior pituitary at day 5 of postnatal life (PN). Between 10 a...

The proposed method is to recognize objects based on application of Local Steering Kernels (LSK) as Descriptors to the image patches. In order to represent the local properties of the images, patch is to be extracted where the variations occur in an image. To find the interest point, Wavelet based Salient Point detector is used. Local Steering Kernel is then applied to the resultant pixels, in ...

Very recently, a new concept called multiplicative differential and the corresponding c-differential uniformity were introduced by Ellingsen et al. (IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory 66(9), 5781–5789 2020). A function F(x) over finite field GF(pn) to itself is said have δ, or equivalent, differentially (c,δ)-uniform, when maximum number of solutions x ∈GF(pn) F(x + a) − cF(x) = b, a,b,c ∈GF(pn), c≠ 1 ...
