In contrast, the effect of ICH on the systemic immune system has barely been investigated. We examined the effects of different hematoma volumes on immune cell subpopu...

Transgenic mice carrying the human insulin gene driven by the K-cell glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) promoter secrete insulin and display normal glucose tolerance tests after their pancreatic beta-cells have been destroyed. Establishing the existence of other types of cells that ca...

Angiotensin-II (Ang-II) is involved in the fibrotic response. Several muscular dystrophies are characterized by extensive fibrosis...

Injections of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) have been used to produce the signs of sepsis and study their underlying mechanisms. Intravenous (IV) injections of LPS in anesthetized cats induce tachypnea, tachycardia and hypotension, but ventilatory changes are suppressed after sectioning carotid and ao...

Mobile data has allowed us to sense urban dynamics at scales and granularities not known before, helping urban planners to cope with urban growth. A frequently used kind of dataset are Call Detail Records (CDR), used by telecommunication operators for billing purposes. Being an already extracted ...

The cutting pattern problem has been traditionally approached using single objective optimization models, although the sawmill performance is usually measured using more than a single indicator. One of the shortcoming of using multiobjective approaches is that they need a preference relationship ...
