Background—Both inherited predisposition and platelet hyperreactivity have been associated with ischemic coronary events, but mechanisms that support genetic differences among platelets from different subjects are generally lacking. Associations between the platelet Pl polymorphism of GP IIIa and coronary syndromes raise the question as to whether this inherited variation may contribute to plat...

In this work, poloxamer (PL)-based binary hydrogels, composed of PL 407 and PL 188, were studied with regard to the physicochemical aspects of sol-gel transition and pharmaceutical formulation issues such as dissolution-release profiles. In particular, we evaluated the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and in vivo pharmacological performance of PL 407 and PL 407-PL 188 hydrogels containing tramadol (...

In this paper, path loss (PL) model for IEEE 802.11n in large rectangular room is determined on basis of PL measurements. It is found that PL model can be described by a TGn channel model and free-space model at small distances with PL exponent of 2.67 and 2. At large distances PL model can be described by one-slope model with PL exponent of 1.6. Further, it is determined PL exponent increases ...

1. Introduction This paper focuses on the properties of Schubert cells as semialgebraic subsets of a generalized ag variety. More speciically, we investigate the problem of distinguishing between diierent Schubert cells using vanishing patterns of generalized Pl ucker coordinates.

We show that there are exactly nine distinct PL involutions on the nonorientable 2-sphere bundle over Sl, up to PL equivalences. This, together with results of [1], [3] and [8], classifies all PL involutions on the 2sphere bundles over S1.

One of the crucial issues concerning the evolution of animal form is whether there is any general tendency as to the genetic and molecular mechanisms involved? A vast body of comparative studies has revealed that morphology evolves via changes in the spatial regulation of gene expression during development. So the question of the evolution of form boils down to one concerning the evolution of g...

We introduce a framework for an empirical evaluation of probabilistic logic languages and systems.

Using a standard fact in hyperbolic geometry, we give a simple proof of the uniqueness of PL minimal surfaces, thus filling in a gap in the original proof of Jaco and Rubinstein. Moreover, in order to clarify some ambiguity, we sharpen the definition of PL minimal surfaces, and prove a technical lemma on the Plateau problem in the hyperbolic space.
