Thick weakly distance-regular digraphs [PDF]
A weakly distance-regular digraph is thick if its attached scheme is regular. In this paper, we show that each commutative thick weakly distance-regular digraph has a thick weakly distance-regular subdigraph such that the corresponding quotient digraph falls into six families of thick weakly distance-regular digraphs up to isomorphism.

The Kinematics of Thick Disks in Nine External Galaxies [PDF]
We present kinematic measurements of thin and thick disk components in a sample of nine edge-on galaxies. We extract stellar and ionized gas rotation curves at and above the galaxies' midplanes using the Ca II triplet absorption features and H-alpha emission lines measured with the GMOS spectrographs on Gemini North and South.

Intimal and medial contributions to the hydraulic resistance of the arterial wall at different pressures: a combined computational and experimental study [PDF]
The hydraulic resistances of the intima and media determine water flux and the advection of macromolecules into and across the arterial wall. Despite several experimental and computational studies, these transport processes and their dependence on ...

Serum phosphorus levels are associated with carotid intima-media thickness in asymptomatic postmenopausal women [PDF]
Objective: Serum phosphorous is a significant risk factor for increased carotid intima-media thickness. Increased thickness of the carotid intima is a known cause of cardiovascular disease.

In the context of chronic hyperglycemia, a DDR is initiated, leading to the pathological activation of DNA‐PKcs in the diabetic heart. This activated DNA‐PKcs directly interacts with and phosphorylates YAP1 at Thr226, thereby increasing the nuclear expression of YAP1.

Objective: This study is an investigation of the relationship between erectile dysfunction and epicardial adipose tissue and carotid intima-media thickness, which are indicators of endothelial dysfunction and subclinical atherosclerosis, in patients with

This study highlights the critical role of IRF8 in the development of AAA. IRF8 activation promotes the differentiation of cDC1s, which in turn recruit and activate CD8+ T cells, contributing to aortic wall degradation. The study identifies the IRF8‐cDC1‐CD8+ T cell axis as a key pathway in AAA progression, offering new potential therapeutic targets to

Effects of intima stiffness and plaque morphology on peak cap stress
Background Rupture of the cap of a vulnerable plaque present in a coronary vessel may cause myocardial infarction and death. Cap rupture occurs when the peak cap stress exceeds the cap strength.

Off-Lattice Random Walks with Excluded Volume: A New Method of Generation, Proof of Ergodicity and Numerical Results [PDF]
We describe a new algorithm, the reflection method, to generate off-lattice random walks of specified, though arbitrarily large, thickness in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and prove that our method is ergodic on the space of thick walks. The data resulting from our implementation of this method is consistent with the scaling of the squared radius of gyration of ...
