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. …”

Development of innovative nano-satellites with new generation technologies by Menezes, Ajit Denis

“…The models are tested based on performance parameters provided by an established launch agency and analysed under a microscope to check for any cracks or major degradation. The ULTEM is also tested for outgassing properties to ensure it is acceptable for Space applications. …”

Selecting correct methods to extract fuzzy rules from artificial neural network by Tan, Xiao, Zhou, Yuan, Ding, Zuohua, Liu, Yang

“…Fuzzy rules are an intuitive and reasonable representation to be used for explanation, model checking, and system integration. However, different methods may extract different rules from the same ANN. …”

Cooperative collision avoidance in multirobot systems using fuzzy rules and velocity obstacles by Tang, Wenbing, Zhou, Yuan, Zhang, Tianwei, Liu, Yang, Liu, Jing, Ding, Zuohua

“…In detail, at any time instant, a robot checks the robots that it may collide with and retrieves the most dangerous robot in each sector based on the predicted collision time; then, the robot generates its velocity in real-time via fuzzy inference and VO-based fine-tuning. …”

Design of phase locked loop with PVT tolerance by Chong, Kok Foong

“…VCO dummies are normally added to the VCO in order to provide a uniform loading for each VCO delay stage. To check the impacts of different VCO dummy implementation on PLL jitter, five experimental charge pump PLLs are simulated with difference only in the dummy stages: (i) no dummy, (ii) simple dummy, (iii) single stage differential dummy, (iv) double stage differential dummy and (v) full differential dummy with the D2S converters. …”

Time to resolution and effect on quality of life of molluscum contagiosum in children in the UK: a prospective community cohort study by Olsen, JR, Gallacher, J, Finlay, AY, Piguet, V, Francis, NA

“…Participants were prospectively followed up every month to check on their recovery from molluscum contagiosum and transmission to other children in the same household, until the child's lesions were no longer visible.…”

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.…”

Our weapons, our problem: arms exports, democracy and civil society in Brazil and the UK by de Moraes, RF

“…The causal mechanism is in part explained by activities conducted by norm entrepreneurs, whose emergence is facilitated by the existence of institutions commonly found in democratic countries, especially a system of checks and balances, contested elections, and political and civil liberties. …”

Correction of errors in tandem mass spectrum extraction enhances phosphopeptide identification by Hao, Piliang, Ren, Yan, Sze, Siu Kwan, Tam, James P.

“…Comparison of the top three free extraction tools showed that only 54% of the identified spectra were identified consistently from all three tools, indicating that some errors might happen during spectrum extraction. Manual check of 258 spectra not identified from all three tools revealed 405 errors of spectrum extraction with 7.4% in selecting wrong precursor charge, 50.6% in selecting wrong precursor mass, and 42.1% in exporting MS/MS fragments. …”
