Clinical, histological, and serological predictors of renal function loss in lupus nephritis.

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Kidney survival is the ultimate goal in lupus nephritis (LN) management, but long‐term predictors remain inadequately studied, requiring long‐term follow‐up. This study aimed to identify baseline and early longitudinal predictors of kidney survival in the Accelerating Medicines Partnership LN longitudinal cohort.

Desertification in North China

Journal of Agricultural Meteorology, 1993
Arid and semi-arid regions occupy nearly half the area of China, where there are abundant natural resources and a great potential for development. However, these regions have been seriously troubled by sandy desertification which has become an important restricting factor for local development.

Experimental Evaluation of 100Cr6 Steel Microindented Surfaces Under Lubricated Nonconformal Point Contacts

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The tribological behavior of 100Cr6 steel spheres textured via Vickers microindentation is evaluated under lubricated sliding by varying both dimple size and density. Fine and dense textures significantly reduce friction across all lubrication regimes, while large dimples increase it.

The Shift of Security Environment in Northeast Asia: The US–China Conflict and its Implications for Korea

Journal for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament, 2018
This essay attempts to highlight how the nature of the US–China conflict is deep and structural, and therefore likely to have conflicting long-term impacts on the currently unfolding high-wire nuclear negotiations between North Korea and the United ...

Interaction of Ladle Slag With Varying SiO2 Content and Recyclate‐Based MgO–C Refractories

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ladle slags (CaO/Al2O3 = 1) with 1–20 wt% SiO2 were investigated in contact with industrial MgO–C refractories fabricated from fresh magnesia and 50 wt% recyclate. The sessile drop method at 1600°C reveals intensive gas formation, delayed slag infiltration in recyclate‐based samples, and, under high‐SiO2 slag, formation of a dense MgAl2O4‐rich ...

Influence of North Pacific SST on heavy precipitation events in autumn over North China

Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters, 2017
The characteristics of heavy precipitation occurrence in autumn (the month of September) over North China are investigated using daily observational data. Results indicate that heavy precipitation events experienced a significant decadal increase in 2000/
