ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Using Shrinkage Estimators to Reduce Bias and MSE in Estimation of Heavy Tails
Bias reduction in tail estimation has received considerable interest in extreme value analysis. Estimation methods that minimize the bias while keeping the mean squared error (MSE) under control, are especially useful when applying classical methods ...

A Note on Second Order Conditions in Extreme Value Theory: Linking General and Heavy Tail Conditions
Second order conditions ruling the rate of convergence in any first order condition involving regular variation and assuring a unified extreme value limiting distribution function for the sequence of maximum values, linearly normalized, have appeared in

On Max-Semistable Laws and Extremes for Dynamical Systems
Suppose (f,X,μ) is a measure preserving dynamical system and ϕ:X→R a measurable observable. Let Xi=ϕ∘fi−1 denote the time series of observations on the system, and consider the maxima process Mn:=max{X1,…,Xn}.

ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...
