Beta cell count instead of beta cell mass to assess and localize growth in beta cell population following pancreatic duct ligation in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Pancreatic-tail duct ligation (PDL) in adult rodents has been reported to induce beta cell generation and increase beta cell mass but increases in beta cell number have not been demonstrated.

Beta-defensin genomic copy number is not a modifier locus for cystic fibrosis.
, 2005 Human beta-defensin 2 (DEFB4, also known as DEFB2 or hBD-2) is a salt-sensitive antimicrobial protein that is expressed in lung epithelia. Previous work has shown that it is encoded in a cluster of beta-defensin genes at 8p23.1, which varies in copy ...

Stratified β$\beta$‐numbers and traveling salesman in Carnot groups
Journal of the London Mathematical Society, 2022 Comment: Proved new statements about insufficiency of non-stratified beta numbers (Prop 1.4) as well as different characterizations of stratified betas (Prop 1.6). Implemented referee suggested simplifications of many proofs.

Survivin is required for beta-cell mass expansion in the pancreatic duct-ligated mouse model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 AIMS/HYPOTHESIS:Pancreatic beta-cell mass expands through adulthood under certain conditions. The related molecular mechanisms are elusive. This study was designed to determine whether surviving (also known as Birc5), which is transiently expressed ...

Intrinsic Lipschitz Graphs and Vertical β-Numbers in the Heisenberg Group [PDF]
American Journal of Mathematics, 2019 The purpose of this paper is to introduce and study some basic concepts of quantitative rectifiability in the first Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$. In particular, we aim to demonstrate that new phenomena arise compared to the Euclidean theory, founded by G. David and S. Semmes in the 90's. The theory in $\mathbb{H}$ has an apparent connection to certain

Chronic apocynin treatment attenuates beta amyloid plaque size and microglial number in hAPP(751)(SL) mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 NADPH oxidase is implicated in neurotoxic microglial activation and the progressive nature of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Here, we test the ability of two NADPH oxidase inhibitors, apocynin and dextromethorphan (DM), to reduce learning deficits and ...

Reduced beta band connectivity during number estimation in autism
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2014 Recent evidence suggests that disruption of integrative processes in sensation and perception may play a critical role in cognitive and behavioural atypicalities characteristic of ASD.

A lightweight true random number generator using beta radiation for IoT applications
ETRI Journal, 2020 This paper presents a lightweight true random number generator (TRNG) using beta radiation that is useful for Internet of Things (IoT) security. In general, a random number generator (RNG) is required for all secure communication devices because random ...

On-line algorithms for multiplication and division in real and complex numeration systems [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2019 A positional numeration system is given by a base and by a set of digits. The base is a real or complex number $\beta$ such that $|\beta|>1$, and the digit set $A$ is a finite set of digits including $0$. Thus a number can be seen as a finite or infinite
