Polycystic liver disease: an overview of clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment [PDF]
Polycystic liver disease (PLD) is a hereditary disease characterized by the presence of 20 or more liver cysts. It is classified into three types: isolated autosomal dominant PLD, PLD with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and PLD with ...

Potential for social involvement modulates activity within the mirror and the mentalizing systems [PDF]
Processing biological motion is fundamental for everyday life activities, such as social interaction, motor learning and nonverbal communication. The ability to detect the nature of a motor pattern has been investigated by means of point-light displays ...

Understanding phospholipase D (PLD) using leukocytes: PLD involvement in cell adhesion and chemotaxis [PDF]
AbstractPhospholipase D (PLD) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of membrane phosphatidylcholine to choline and phosphatidic acid (PA; a second messenger). PLD is expressed in nearly all types of leukocytes and has been associated with phagocytosis, degranulation, microbial killing, and leukocyte maturation.

Annealing temperature effect on the Structural and Optical properties of Pb(Zr0.7,Ti0.3)O3 thin film prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) [PDF]
Pb(Zrx,Ti1-x)O3 (PZT) powder was prepared via solid-state reaction and deposited on glass by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis carried out to investigate the phase structure, it was found that PZT thin films with x=0.7 are

Imaging Pulsed Laser Deposition oxide growth by in-situ Atomic Force Microscopy [PDF]
To visualize the topography of thin oxide films during growth, thereby enabling to study its growth behavior quasi real-time, we have designed and integrated an atomic force microscope (AFM) in a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) vacuum setup.

Ablation of single-crystalline cesium iodide by extreme ultraviolet capillary-discharge laser
Extreme ultraviolet (XUV) capillary-discharge lasers (CDLs) are a suitable source for the efficient, clean ablation of ionic crystals, which are obviously difficult to ablate with conventional, long-wavelength lasers.
