A Fisher’s Criterion‐Based Linear Discriminant Analysis for Predicting the Critical Values of Coal and Gas Outbursts Using the Initial Gas Flow in a Borehole

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
The risk of coal and gas outbursts can be predicted using a method that is linear and continuous and based on the initial gas flow in the borehole (IGFB); this method is significantly superior to the traditional point prediction method. Acquiring accurate critical values is the key to ensuring accurate predictions.

Inflammatory Mechanisms Associated with Skeletal Muscle Sequelae after Stroke: Role of Physical Exercise

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Inflammatory markers are increased systematically and locally (e.g., skeletal muscle) in stroke patients. Besides being associated with cardiovascular risk factors, proinflammatory cytokines seem to play a key role in muscle atrophy by regulating the pathways involved in this condition.

TGF‐Beta Blockade Increases Renal Inflammation Caused by the C‐Terminal Module of the CCN2

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
The CCN family member 2 (CCN2, also known as connective tissue growth factor) may behave as a risk biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for renal disease. CCN2 participates in the regulation of inflammation and fibrosis. TGF‐β is considered the main fibrogenic cytokine; however, in some pathological settings TGF‐β also has anti‐inflammatory ...

Insulin‐Like Growth Factor and Epidermal Growth Factor Signaling in Breast Cancer Cell Growth: Focus on Endocrine Resistant Disease

Analytical Cellular Pathology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer for women worldwide with a lifetime risk amounting to a staggering total of 10%. It is well established that the endogenous synthesis of insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) polypeptide growth factors are closely correlated to malignant transformation and all the steps of the

Effect of Low‐Intensity Aerobic Exercise on Insulin‐Like Growth Factor‐I and Insulin‐Like Growth Factor‐Binding Proteins in Healthy Men

International Journal of Endocrinology, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
Increased concentrations of circulating insulin‐like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I) or IGF‐I relative to IGF‐binding proteins (IGFBPs) are associated with increased risk of developing several forms of cancer. Conversely, exercise is linked with reduced risk. This study aims to investigate the effect of a low‐intensity exercise program on circulating levels of

A Preliminary Assessment of Irrigated Green Firebreaks for Reducing Fire Spread and Intensity in Wildland–Urban Interface Landscapes: Noosa Shire, Australia

Fire
Climate change, altered ecosystems, and expanding development in fire-prone landscapes are increasing fire risk in the wildland–urban interface (WUI).

Irrigated Green Firebreaks on Wildland-Urban Interfaces: A Conceptual Design Framework Informed by Noosa Shire, Australia

Fire
Wildfire risks are increasing due to climate change, which poses a challenge to conventional firefighting strategies. In the wildland–urban interface (WUI), people and their infrastructure are increasingly vulnerable to fire.
