Three siblings (1 boy, 2 girls) with hypertension and hypokalemia are presented, two with low plasma aldosterone and suppressed renin activity and the eldest with a high renin and aldosterone level due to secondary changes in her kidneys. Urinary tetrahydrocortisol (THF) was increased relative to tetrahydrocortisone (THE). Cortisol ring A reduction constant was also lower than normal. Thes...

Normal toric varieties over a field or a discrete valuation ring are classified by rational polyhedral fans. We generalize this classification to normal toric varieties over an arbitrary valuation ring of rank one. The proof is based on a generalization of Sumihiro’s theorem to this non-noetherian setting. These toric varieties play an important role for tropicalizations. 2010 Mathematics Subje...

Ex vivo perfusion of human spleens revealed innate retention of numerous cultured Plasmodium falciparum ring-infected red blood cells (ring-iRBCs). Ring-iRBC retention was confirmed by a microsphiltration device, a microbead-based technology that mimics the mechanical filtering function of the human spleen. However, the cellular alterations underpinning this retention remain unclear. Here, we u...

In a two-dimensional plane problem of the theory elasticity in polar coordinates for nonhomogeneous body, it is possible to obtain analytical or numerical-analytical solutions only one-dimensional nonuniformity [1 - 3]. As rule, this when all unknown functions depend on radius. These tasks correspond majority ring and cylindrical structures exposed axisymmetric effects temperature, radiation, h...

We studied the dynamic behavior of a single semiflexible ring in linear chain matrix based on coarse-grained model using molecular dynamics simulation approach. found that chains’ hollow centers are frequently filled with chains. However, as rigidity chains increases, arranged parallel to each other and temporary caged. As result, swing movement normal direction is significantly limited, relaxa...

Surface deformation accompanying dike intrusions is dominated by uplift and horizontal motion directly related to the intrusions. In some cases, it includes subsidence due associated magma reservoir deflation. When deflation large enough, can form, or reactivate preexisting, caldera ring-faults. Ring-fault reactivation, however, rarely observed during moderate-sized eruptions. On February 21, 2...
