Atherogenesis and plaque rupture, surface/interface-related phenomena by Siegel, G., Berkholz, J., Klüßendorf, D., Knosalla, C., Zakrzewicz, A., Ermilov, E., Malmsten, M., Lindman, Bjorn

“…Since NFκB is inhibited by one reaction strand in this model and inhibits itself collagen and proteoglycan synthesis in the fibrous cap of the plaque, this double check (disinhibition) causes a stabilization of the fibrous cap through a specially strong collagen and proteoglycan production, which in addition is supported by circulating TGFβ. …”

Body composition, body mass, and cardiovascular health in mid-childhood and midlife: a compositional data analysis by Liu, M, Dumuid, D, Olds, T, Burgner, D, Ellul, S, Juonala, M, Wang, Y, Ranganathan, S, Cheung, M, Baur, L, Dwyer, T, Kerr, JA, Lycett, K, Wake, M

“…</p> <br> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> In the population-based cross-sectional Child Health CheckPoint study (1495 children, mean 12 ± 0.4 years, 49.3% girls; 1496 parents, mean 44.3 ± 5.0 years, 86.7% mothers), we measured weight, height, body composition [truncal fat, non-truncal fat, fat-free mass (FFM)], and CV functional (blood pressure, pulse wave velocity, arterial elasticity) and structural (carotid intima-media thickness, retinal arteriolar/venular caliber) outcomes. …”

Precision holography and supersymmetric theories on curved spaces by Genolini, P

“…We may then formulate a precise check of the holographic dictionary by asking whether the dual holographic observables are similarly invariant, as the free energy of the gauge theory is identified with the holographically renormalized supergravity action.…”

Live Verification in an Interactive Proof Assistant by Gruetter, Samuel, Fukala, Viktor, Chlipala, Adam

“…We prototyped our technique in the interactive proof assistant Coq, so our framework creates machine-checked proofs that the developed functions satisfy their specifications when executed according to the formal semantics of the source language. …”

Differences in pulse manifestations at Cunkou based on simplified modeling of tactile sensing by Shi, Yubing, Yang, Hongyi, Yeo, Joon Hock

“…Some researchers mentioned that no significant differences were observed in pulse manifestations at various Cunkou areas, hence there might be some difficulty in evaluating the status of different organs through checking pulse manifestations at Cunkou. This research aims to analyze the pulse response at Cunkou from the aspect of the characteristics of tactile sensing, thus to give a preliminary explanation to the above question. …”
