We use the UK's 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) to study attributes of top‐scoring (four‐star) publications in Economics and Econometrics. Although official documents contain aggregate scores for each institution, we show how these aggregates can be used infer score awarded by REF panellists publication. demonstrate that this responds journal prestige as measured Thomson Reuters Articl...

BACKGROUND Despite more frequent use of the oscillometric method (OSC) for arterial blood pressure (BP) measurement, little is known about OSC's accuracy when used with hemodialysed patients. This study was undertaken to determine if hemodialysis (HD) and individual features in examined patients can affect the accuracy of OSC for BP measurement. MATERIAL/METHODS In 54 hemodialysed patients (5...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To clarify the relationship between apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE/Ref-1), a multifunctional protein in the DNA base excision repair pathway, and delayed neuronal cell death associated with apoptosis, we examined the expression of APE/Ref-1 before and after transient global ischemia in rats. METHODS Global ischemia was induced by bilateral common carotid artery...

The role of individual protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in progressive transformation of a rat embryo fibroblast cell line (REF52 cells) has been evaluated. Normal (REF A) cells were transfected with SV40 to produce the partially transformed REF B cell line. REF B cells are morphologically transformed but have only limited capacity for growth in soft agar. Message and protein levels for PKC-alph...

We quantified the effects of airway wall remodeling upon airway smooth muscle (ASM) shortening. Isolated ASM from sheep was attached to a servo-controller that applied a physiologic load. This load could be altered to reflect specified changes of airway wall geometry, elasticity, parenchymal tethering, transpulmonary pressure (P(L)), and fluctuations in P(L) associated with breathing. Starting ...

Under certain conditions, imposed on the viscosity of the fluid, initial data and the class of contours under consideration, the Cauchy problem with finite values of time for the loop equation in turbulence with Gaussian random forces is solved by making use of the smearing procedure for the loop space functional Laplacian. The solution obtained depends on the initial data and its functional de...

A Review of: Walker, D. (2020). Libraries and the REF: How do librarians contribute to research excellence? Insights, 33(1), 6. https://doi.org/10.1629/uksg.497 Abstract Objective – To measure extent which libraries’ contributions United Kingdom (UK) university excellence were referenced in Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014 unit-level environment statements, make recommendations librarie...

This study examines the role of APE1/Ref-1 in the retina and its potential as a therapeutic target for inhibiting retinal angiogenesis. APE1/Ref-1 expression was quantified by Western blot. The role of APE1/Ref-1 redox function in endothelial cell in vitro angiogenesis was examined by treating retinal vascular endothelial cells (RVECs) with APX3330, a small molecule inhibitor of APE1/Ref-1 redo...

BACKGROUND Half a million children die annually of severe acute malnutrition and cardiac dysfunction may contribute to the mortality. However, cardiac function remains poorly examined in cases of severe acute malnutrition. OBJECTIVE To determine malnutrition-induced echocardiographic disturbances and longitudinal changes in plasma pro-atrial natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin-T in a ped...
