Dexamethasone (DM) is a synthetic member of the glucocorticoid (GC) class of hormones that possesses anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant activity and is commonly used to treat chronic inflammatory disorders, severe allergies, and other disease states. Although GCs are known to mediate well-defined transcriptional effects via GC receptors (GCR), there is increasing evidence that GCs also ini...

Air quality is highly related to the health of a human being. Urban morphology has significant influence on air quality; however, specific relationship between urban characteristics and at neighborhood scale yet be investigated, especially vegetation effect PM2.5 concentration diffusion. The relevant morphological parameters based affected pathways were selected, sensitivity degree laws selecte...

Sparse Representation-based Classification (SRC) has been seen to be a reliable Face Recognition technique. The ℓ1 Bayesian based on the Lasso algorithm proven most effective in class identification and computation complexity. In this paper, we revisit classification then recommend group-based classification. proposed modified algorithm, which is called as Group Class Residual (GCR-SRC), extend...

To elucidate the mechanism of insulin resistance due to insulin counterregulatory hormones (ICRHs) and evaluate ICRH secretion kinetics, ICRH concentrations were measured and correlated with blood glucose levels in 28 type 1 diabetic patients. Blood glucose was measured before bedtime. Early morning urine samples were collected the next morning before insulin injection and breakfast. Fasting bl...

The application of sulfur isotope (dS) values of sulfate in groundwater provided the information necessary to evaluate the source, transport and fate of battery acid and associated contaminants at the Gulf Coast Recycling (GCR) facility. The chemical and isotopic composition of groundwater beneath the (GCR) property, a battery recycling facility in east Tampa, Florida, varies more than expected...

Genome instability is a hallmark of cancer cells. One class of genome aberrations prevalent in tumor cells is termed gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs). GCRs comprise chromosome translocations, amplifications, inversions, deletion of whole chromosome arms, and interstitial deletions. Here, we report the results of a genome-wide screen in Saccharomyces cerevisiae aimed at identifying novel ...

The weakening of the geomagnetic field causes an increase in galactic cosmic ray (GCR) flux. Some researchers argue that enhanced GCR flux might lead to a climatic cooling by increasing low cloud formation, which enhances albedo (umbrella effect). Recent studies have reported geological evidence for a link between weakened geomagnetic field and climatic cooling. However, more work is needed on ...

Optimal Krylov subspace methods like GMRES and GCR have to compute an orthogonal basis for the entire Krylov subspace to compute the minimal residual approximation to the solution. Therefore, when the number of iterations becomes large, the amount of work and the storage requirements become excessive. In practice one has to limit the resources. The most obvious ways to do this are to restart GM...
