background: kidney transplantation is a preferred treatment for many patients with end-stage renal disease (esrd) and is far more profi table than hemodialysis. analyzing renal transplantation data can help to evaluate the eff ectiveness of transplantation interventions. the aim of this study was to determine the organ survival rate after kidney transplantation during a period of 10 years (marc...

background: monitoring of phenotypic characteristics of t-lymphocytes in peripheral blood is commonly performed to give the clinical parameters in the management of kidney transplant recipients.   objective: to predict rejection in renal transplantation by immune parameters. methods: 16 non-diabetic kidney transplant candidates (4 females and 12 males, age = 20-65 yr, first time transplant) wer...

We discuss the use of velocity rescaling for generating rejection-free exchange moves in replica exchange molecular dynamics. We test the efficiency of this approach for a common test case, the trp-cage protein. Advantages and limitations of the approach are discussed and possible extensions outlined.

This paper describes a switched audio amplifier that achieves high efficiency without the major drawbacks associated with this kind of amplifiers. The problems of high harmonic distortion and low rejection of supply variations are minimised by use of One Cycle Control. A new filter topology allows load impedance variation without gain variation in the audio band.

background: correlations between bone marrow, heart, kidney, liver, skin and lung transplant rejection or survival with human cytokine gene polymorphisms have been described. there are also reports about the role of cytokines and tumor necrosis factors-alpha (tnf-α) on corneal transplant in animal models. further studies are needed to clarify the role of cytokines in corneal allograft rejection...

Simulation of gamma and hadron showers in the energy range 100GeV- 25TeV has been carried out. For a big ideal Cherenkov light array, characteristics of lateral distribution of Cherenkov photon density have been studied. Results from this ideal detector are compared with those simulated for a real TUNKA- like array to investigate experimental potential of using existence of a hump in lateral di...

The present work deals with application of DMAIC for minimization of sand casting defects in a process industry. DMAIC approach is justified when root cause of defect is not traceable. At present, global and competitive environment, foundary industries need to perform efficiently with minimum number of rejection in their manufacturing products. For better improvement in the casting quality, fir...

introduction: due to its immunosuppressive properties, local graft irradiation (lgi) has been proposed as a second line therapy for treatment of acute kidney rejection. case presentation: in this case-series we report 6 patients with biopsy proven acute kidney allograft rejection refractory to conventional antirejection therapy who underwent lgi for treatment of acute rejection at our center. t...
