Patterns theory and geodesic automatic structure for a class of groups [PDF]

, 2003
We introduce a theory of "patterns" in order to study geodesics in a certain class of group presentations. Using patterns we show that there does not exist a geodesic automatic structure for certain group presentations, and that certain group ...

Eplerenone Attenuates Fibrosis in the Contralateral Kidney of UUO Rats by Preventing Macrophage-to-Myofibroblast Transition

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Severe renal fibrosis often occurs in obstructive kidney disease, not only in the obstructed kidney but also in the contralateral kidney, causing renal dysfunction.

Patterns of Design [PDF]

, 2018
In a straightforward meta-level shift of focus, we use design patterns as a medium and process for capturing insight about the process of design. We survey mainstream design genres, and draw conclusions about how they can help inform the design of ...

Impact of the End Stage Renal Disease Prospective Payment System on the Use of Peritoneal Dialysis

Kidney International Reports, 2017
The End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Prospective Payment System (PPS), implemented by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in January 2011, encouraged use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) through various financial incentives. Our goal was to determine

Effects of Bushen-Tiaojing-Fang on the pregnancy outcomes of infertile patients with repeated controlled ovarian stimulation

Scientific Reports, 2021
Bushen-Tiaojing-Fang (BSTJF) is commonly used to treat infertility. This study investigated the effects of BSTJF on the pregnancy outcomes of patients with repeated controlled ovarian stimulation (COS), on mitochondrial function, and on oxidative stress ...

Esaxerenone inhibits the macrophage-to-myofibroblast transition through mineralocorticoid receptor/TGF-β1 pathway in mice induced with aldosterone

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Renal fibrosis is the inevitable pathway of the progression of chronic kidney disease to end-stage renal disease, which manifests as progressive glomerulosclerosis and renal interstitial fibrosis.

SRPK2 Expression and Beta-Amyloid Accumulation Are Associated With BV2 Microglia Activation

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2022
IntroductionThe extracellular deposition of β-amyloid (Aβ) is a pathological hallmark in Alzheimer's disease (AD), which induces microglial activation in the pathology of AD. The expression of serine/threonine-protein kinase 2 (SRPK2) is increased in the

Pattern Bargaining [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 1996
Many unions in the United States have for several years engaged in what is known as pattern bargaining. In this article, we show that pattern bargaining is preferred by a union to both simultaneous industry‐wide negotiations and sequential negotiations without a pattern. Allowing for interfirm productivity differentials within an industry, we show that

Patterns from preheating [PDF]

, 1998
The formation of regular patterns is a well-known phenomenon in condensed matter physics. Systems that exhibit pattern formation are typically driven and dissipative with pattern formation occurring in the weakly non-linear regime and sometimes even in ...

Application of UAV Remote Sensing for a Population Census of Large Wild Herbivores—Taking the Headwater Region of the Yellow River as an Example

Remote Sensing, 2018
We used unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to carry out a relatively complete population census of large wild herbivores in Maduo County on the Tibetan Plateau in the spring of 2017.
