Plasma Levels of Middle Molecules to Estimate Residual Kidney Function in Haemodialysis without Urine Collection
(2015-12-02)
BACKGROUND: Residual Kidney Function (RKF) is associated with survival benefits in haemodialysis (HD) but is difficult to measure without urine collection. Middle molecules such as Cystatin C and β2-microglobulin accumulate ...
Cerebellar Nuclear Neurons Use Time and Rate Coding to Transmit Purkinje Neuron Pauses
(2015-12-02)
Neurons of the cerebellar nuclei convey the final output of the cerebellum to their targets in various parts of the brain. Within the cerebellum their direct upstream connections originate from inhibitory Purkinje neurons. ...

Chapter 5 - Introduction to Sensors and Signal Processing
(CRC Press, 2015-12)
This chapter presents the fundamentals on sensors and signal processing, with emphasizes on Mechatronics and applications. Sensors are used to measure signals that present changes in the time domain, e.g. waveforms or ...
Mathematical approach for understanding deagglomeration behaviour of drug powder in formulations with coarse carrier
(2015-12-01)
Deagglomeration of cohesive particles in combination with coarse carrier is a key requirement for inhaled formulations. The aim of the project was to propose a mathematical approach to understand aerosolization behaviour ...
When pain goes weird : Central sensitisation and its implications for physiotherapy practice
(2015-12-01)
Information from the body is conveyed to the brain through receptors, peripheral nerves and the spinal cord. In the dorsal horn, inhibitory mechanisms under control of local, peripheral and brain influences keep sensory ...

Length of polynomials over finite groups
(2015-12-01)
We study the length of polynomials over finite simple non-Abelian groups needed to realize Boolean functions. We apply the results for bounding the length of 5-permutation branching programs recognizing a Boolean set. ...
A review of the catalytic oxidation of carbon-carbon composite aircraft brakes
(2015-12-01)
The use of de-icing chemicals at airport runways has been shown to produce oxides and carbonates of sodium, potassium and calcium which catalyse the oxidation of carbon-carbon composite aircraft brakes leading to an increase ...
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS) : A new business model in the FTSE100
(2015-12)
This paper is about the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) business model. REITs benefit from tax concessions and Fair Value Accounting (FVA) practices. REITs distributing over 90 percent of profits can obtain tax concessions ...
