BACKGROUND: The ubiquitously expressed dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (DPP3) is involved in protein metabolism, blood pressure regulation, and pain modulation. These diverse functions of DPP3 are attributed to the degradation of bioactive peptides like angiotensin II. However, because of limitations in currently available assays for determination of active DPP3 in plasma, the exact physiological function

This article presents the kaonic atom studies performed at the INFN National Laboratory of Frascati (Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati dell’INFN, LNF-INFN) since the opening of this field of research at the DAΦNE collider in early 2000. Significant achievements have been obtained by the DAΦNE Exotic Atom Research (DEAR) and Silicon Drift Detector for Hadronic Atom Research by Timing Applications (S

Single crystals of Fe0.43Mo2.56SbO9.5 were obtained by hydrothermal techniques at 230◦C. The crystal structure was determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. The compound crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric space group Pc with unit cell parameters a = 4.0003(2) Å, b = 7.3355(3) Å, c = 12.6985(6) Å, β = 90◦. The crystal structure comprises five crystallographically independent M ato

Perforated plate is taken as an important throttling component to regulate pressure in a pressure reducing valve or a high pressure vessel etc., based on its special structural characteristics. To regulate pressure to a target value, a self-designed multi-stage high pressure reducing valve (MSHPRV) is proposed. It has such advantages as avoiding noise and vibration. In this paper, flow fields anal

Anslagstavlan is a neglected but important part of Sweden’s modern audiovisual heritage. The purpose of this media historical and digital humanities project is to study the aesthetic, narrative and rhetorical development of audiovisual government information on Swedish television. While much research has been devoted to the Swedish public service model, wherein regulated independence from the gove

Paradoxes of Media and Information Literacy: The Crisis of Information contributes to ongoing conversations about control of knowledge and different ways of knowing. It does so by analysing how media and information literacy (MIL) is proposed as a solution for addressing society’s crisis of information. Questioning why MIL is commonly believed to wield such power, the book throws into sharp relief

We construct an annual index of Irish industrial output for 1800-1921, the period during which the entire island was in a political Union with Great Britain. We also construct a new industrial price index. Irish industrial output grew by an average of 1.4 per cent per annum over the period as a whole, and by 1.8 per cent per annum between 1800 and the outbreak of World War I. Industrial growth was

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is offered to an increasing number of breast cancer (BC) patients, and comprehensive monitoring of treatment response is of utmost importance. Several imaging modalities are available to follow tumor response, although likely to provide different clinical information. We aimed to examine the association between early radiological response by three conventional imagi
