OBJECTIVES To study the value of assessing renal masses using different methods in parameter approaches and to determine whether BOLD MRI is helpful in differentiating RCC from benign renal masses, differentiating clear-cell RCC from renal masses other than clear-cell RCC and determining the tumour grade. METHODS Ninety-five patients with 139 renal masses (93 malignant and 46 benign) who unde...

We derive one- and two-loop renormalization group equations (RGEs) of Higgs-$R^2$ inflation. This model has a non-minimal coupling between the Higgs Ricci scalar squared term on top standard model. The RGEs derived in this paper are valid as long energy scale interest (in Einstein frame) is below Planck scale. also discuss implications to inflationary predictions electroweak vacuum metastability.

The pattern and frequency of insertions that enable transposable elements to remain active in a population are poorly understood. The retrotransposable element R2 exclusively inserts into the 28S rRNA genes where it establishes long-term, stable relationships with its animal hosts. Previous studies with laboratory stocks of Drosophila simulans have suggested that control over R2 retrotransposit...
