The effect of lymph diversion on plasma apolipoprotein A-I levels was studied. In lymph fistula rats apolipoprotein A-I levels in plasma stayed constant in spite of a loss of an equivalent of one-half plasma pool of apolipoprotein A-I per day through the lymph fistula. This indicates that synthesis of apolipoprotein A-I increases or that catabolism of apolipoprotein A-I decreases in a compensatory

Strained nanowires with varying InAs/InP core/shell thicknesses were grown using Chemical Beam Epitaxy. Microphotoluminescence spectroscopy, performed at low temperature, was then used to study the optical properties of single wires. Emission from the InAs core was observed and its dependence on the shell thickness/core diameter ratio was investigated. We found that it is possible to tune the emis

Point symmetry-based clustering is an important unsupervised learning tool for recognizing symmetrical convex or non-convex shaped clusters, even in the microarray datasets. To enable fast clustering of this large data, in this article, a distributed space and time-efficient scalable parallel approach for point symmetry-based K-means algorithm has been proposed. A natural basis for analyzing gene

Integration of non-dispatchable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar into the grid is challenging due to the stochastic nature of energy sources. Hence, electrical hubs (EH) and virtual power plants that combine non-dispatchable energy sources, energy storage and dispatchable energy sources such as internal combustion generators and micro gas turbines are getting popular. However, desig

The purpose of this paper is threefold. Firstly, the paper introduces the One Triangle Three Parallelograms (OTTP) sampling strategy, which can be viewed as a way to index pixels from a given shape and image. Secondly, a framework for cascaded shape regression, including the OTTP sampling, is presented. In short, this framework involves binary pixel tests for appearance features combined with shap

The fundamental first stage of product interaction is through sensory perception, which generates cognitive and affective experiences. Product perception through sensory feedback is a major component in the end user product appraisal that precedes the elicitation of product emotion. Sensory evaluation is connected to a set of concepts including appraisal, concern and goal oriented objective. The i

Objectives: To develop and validate a new algorithm to identify patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and estimate disease prevalence using administrative health databases (AHDs) of the Italian Lombardy region. Design: Case-control and cohort diagnostic accuracy study. Methods: In a randomly selected sample of 827 patients drawn from a tertiary rheumatology centre (training set), clinically vali

The aim of this paper is to discuss the unexploited forces of user-orientation and shared responsibility to promote sustainable value co-creation during service innovation projects in welfare service ecosystems. The framework is based on the theoretical field of public service logic (PSL) and our thesis is that service innovation seriously requires a user-oriented approach, and that such an approa
