besity and related metabolic diseases (known as the metabolic syndrome (MetS)) are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Thus, it is necessary to both understand the underlying molecular basis and develop effective preventive and therapeutic approaches. We and others have independently identified 7 angiopoietin-like proteins (Angptls), namely, Angptl1/angiopoietin-rela...

La coriorretinopatía central serosa (CRCS) está caracterizada por el acúmulo de fluido subretiniano que produce un levantamiento del neuroepitelio en el polo posterior. Es una patología que afecta a pacientes jóvenes, generalmente varones con personalidad tipo «A». En la mayoría de los casos se trata de un proceso autolimitado, que se resuelve en los primeros 3 meses. No obstante, existe una mi...

We propose the notion of the oscillator on Kähler space and consider its supersymmetrization in the presence of a constant magnetic field. Supersymmetric mechanics attracts permanent interest since its introduction witten [1]. However, studies focussed mainly on the mechanics with standard N = 2 supersymmetries (see for the review sukh [2] and refs therein). The systems with N = 4 supersymmetri...

Organofluorine compounds have found widespread and growing use in the pharmaceutical, materials, and other industries.1 Transition metals offer great potential improvements in the scope, selectivity, and convenience of fluorination chemistry. Their use in C-F bond formation, however, has only begun to be explored.2 Examples to date include electrophilic fluorinations of arene2a and enol2b,c C-H...

Theory of the off-centre instability is developed for the impurity ions (Li', CuC, and Ag') in alkali halides on the basis of the charge transfer excitation model which is different in the involved electronic processes from the earlier theory based on the polarizable-point charge ion model. The lowest potential minima for the impurity ion along < 11 1 ), ( 110 ), and < 100 ) crystal axes are ca...

This paper describes the work in progress on application of Intex to text alignment. Lexical resources incorporated in Intex and local grammars are used to identify those elements in translated text that usually represent literal translations of the original. The motivation for the experiment and basic ideas of the algorithm are illustarted. 1. The motivation for the production of aligned resou...

Encoders of AOM/AV1 codec consider an input video sequence as succession of frames grouped in Golden-Frame (GF) groups. The coding structure of a GF group is fixed with a given GF group size. In the current AOM/AV1 encoder, video frames are coded using a hierarchical, multilayer coding structure within one GF group. It has been observed that the use of multilayer coding structure may result in ...
