Marked Association Between Obesity and Glomerular Hyperfiltration: A Cross-sectional Study in an African Population

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Obesity and African American ethnicity are established independent risk factors for the development of chronic kidney disease. No data exist about the association between obesity and renal hemodynamics in the African region.

A Versatile Heterometallic Microporous MOF for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation

Small, EarlyView.
This work describes a green and scalable approach to robust and flexible heterometallic MOFs, MIP‐215's, with tunable photoactivity for efficient, noble‐metal‐free solar hydrogen production. ABSTRACT Photocatalytic particulate systems offer a cost‐effective solar hydrogen production but are generally limited by narrow visiblelight absorption and poor ...

Silver‐Modulated Copper Dynamics Under Pulsed Tandem Electrochemical CO2 Reduction

Small, EarlyView.
Under pulsed CO2 reduction, Ag does more than provide CO for tandem catalysis. It redirects how Cu dissolves, redeposits, and remains catalytically relevant, generating an Ag‐rich yet Cu‐active working state. Correlative surface and solution analysis reveal that tandem performance emerges from dynamic material redistribution rather than from a static ...

DRUG-INDUCED CHANGES IN RENAL HIPPURATE CLEARANCE AS A MEASURE OF RENAL BLOOD-FLOW

, 1995
We studied the accuracy of the plasma I-131-hippurate clearance technique to monitor drug-induced changes in renal blood flow (RBF) by comparing it to a flow probe technique in six conscious, chronically instrumented dogs. Placebo caused no change in RBF,

Safeguarding the Photoluminescence of Silver Sulfide Nanocrystals in Biological Environments via Silica Shielding

Small, EarlyView.
Interactions with biomolecules can alter the photoluminescence of Ag2S nanocrystals, undermining near‐infrared imaging and thermometry. Incorporation into dendritic silica minimizes these interactions and preserves emission intensity, spectral response, and lifetime in plasma and whole blood. This shielding enables more reliable imaging and temperature

HBMA: An Architectural Pattern for Providing People's Information from their Companion Devices

Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background People are emerging as the center of software development in smart environments. An increasing number of applications use personal information to offer personalized content. However, there is no consensus on how these applications should be developed, making it difficult for developers to rely on existing designs and implementation ...

Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...

The ERPF Theory and the UCEC Turbine: A New Paradigm for Ocean Energy Conversion

This article introduces the Energy Restoration by Planetary Fields (ERPF) theory, proposing a new paradigm for energy conversion in oceanic flows. Unlike classical models, which consider as available only the kinetic energy associated with the intercepted sectional area—bounded, for example, by the Betz limit—ERPF treats the ocean as an open, dynamic ...

Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...
