The value of statistical life and cost–benefit evaluations of landmine clearance in Cambodia [PDF]

, 2010
Development agencies spend approximately US$ 400 million per year on landmine clearance. Yet many cost–benefit evaluations suggest that landmine clearance is socially wasteful because costs appear to far outweigh social benefits.

Influence of Aerodynamic Preloads and Clearance on the Dynamic Performance and Stability Characteristic of the Bump-Type Foil Air Bearing

Machines, 2021
The dry lubricated bump-type foil air bearing enables a carrying load capacity due to a pressure build up in a convergent air film. Since the air bearing provides low power dissipation above the lift-off speed and the flexible foil provides an adaptivity

ADMA metabolism and clearance [PDF]

Vascular Medicine, 2005
The plasma concentration of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, is the resultant of many processes at cellular and organ levels. Post-translational methylation of arginine residues of proteins plays a crucial role in the regulation of their functions, which include processes such as transcription ...

IKK phosphorylates Huntingtin and targets it for degradation by the proteasome and lysosome [PDF]

, 2009
Expansion of the polyglutamine repeat within the protein Huntingtin (Htt) causes Huntington's disease, a neurodegenerative disease associated with aging and the accumulation of mutant Htt in diseased neurons.

Relevance of In Vitro Metabolism Models to PET Radiotracer Development: Prediction of In Vivo Clearance in Rats from Microsomal Stability Data

Pharmaceuticals, 2019
The prediction of in vivo clearance from in vitro metabolism models such as liver microsomes is an established procedure in drug discovery. The potentials and limitations of this approach have been extensively evaluated in the pharmaceutical sector ...

The renal clearance and infusion clearance of inulin are similar, but not identical

Kidney International, 1993
Thirty-eight simultaneous renal (R-Cin) and infusion (INF-Cin) clearances of inulin were done. The equilibration period preceding the clearance studies was of at least two hours duration. The R-Cin on each subject was based on two clearance periods during which the plasma inulin concentration ([P(in)]) varied by 1.0 mg/dl or less and the rate of inulin

Effect of Acute Thermal Stress Exposure on Ecophysiological Traits of the Mediterranean Sponge Chondrilla nucula: Implications for Climate Change

Biology, 2023
As a result of climate change, the Mediterranean Sea has been exposed to an increase in the frequency and intensity of marine heat waves in the last decades, some of which caused mass mortality events of benthic invertebrates, including sponges.
