Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major kidney disease characterized by an abrupt loss of renal function.Accumulating evidence indicates that incomplete or maladaptive repair after AKI can result in kidney fibrosis and the development and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD).Hypoxia, a condition of insufficient supply of oxygen to cells and tis
Mycoplasma pneumonia is common agent causing community acquired pneumonia in younger population.However, the course of illness is usually benign and is rarely associated with pulmonary complications.We report a 27 years old Footwear female patient with unilateral pneumonia followed by pleural effusion Hi Vis Jackets and adhesions on the same side.T
A real-time combustion model was assessed and applied to simulate BMEP (Brake Mean Effective Pressure) and NOx (Nitrogen Oxide) emissions in an Spreads 11.0 L FPT Cursor 11 diesel engine for heavy-duty applications.The activity was carried out in the frame of the IMPERIUM H2020 EU Project.The developed model was used as a starting base to derive a
ObjectiveWe apply the superiorization methodology to the constrained intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment planning problem.Superiorization combines a feasibility-seeking projection algorithm with objective function reduction: The underlying projection algorithm is perturbed with gradient descent steps to steer the algorithm toward
A common idea in the discussion of soil carbon processes is that litter decomposition rates and soil carbon stocks are inversely related.To test this overall hypothesis, simultaneous studies were conducted of the relationship of environmental gradients to leaf and wood decomposition, buried cloth decomposition and percent soil organic matter in Tax
