Developing a universal tunnel span classification from global tunnel databases

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A universal tunnel span classification system is introduced that incorporates tunnel span, cross‐sectional area, typical tunnel types, and intended uses. Representative flatness ratio values are also provided for each span class. The classification is derived from a comprehensive database of 450 tunnel profiles from 47 countries.

Endotoxin tolerance in human intrahepatic biliary epithelial cells is induced by upregulation of IRAK‐M

Liver International, 2006
Abstract: Background/Aim: Biliary epithelial cells possess an innate immune system consisting of Toll‐like receptors (TLRs). Although the human bile contains lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in normal as well as diseased livers, LPS physiologically does not elicit an inflammatory response in the biliary tree.

No evidence of an association between polymorphisms in the IRAK-M gene and atopic dermatitis in a German cohort

Molecular and Cellular Probes, 2009
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease which affects up to 10-15% of the human population in industrialized countries. A complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors is suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of this disease.
