Developmental transcriptomic patterns can be altered by transgenic overexpression of Uty by Kylie D. Rock, Lillian M. Folts, Hannah C. Zierden, Ruth Marx-Rattner, Nicolae Adrian Leu, Bridget M. Nugent, Tracy L. Bale

“…Epigenetic regulators expressed on these sex chromosomes, including Kdm6a (Utx), Kdm5c, and Ddx3x have far-reaching impacts on transcriptional control of phenotypic sex differences. Although the functionality of UTY (Kdm6c, the Y-linked homologue of UTX), has been supported by more recent studies, its role in developmental sex differences is not understood. …”

Correcting Reflux Laparoscopically by Eric C Poulin, Christopher M Schlachta, Joseph Mamazza

“…Most believe that the trend towards procedures that minimize or eliminate the trauma of surgery while adhering to accepted surgical principles is irreversible. The functional results of laparoscopic antireflux surgery in the seven years since its inception have been virtually identical to the success curves generated with open fundoplication in past years. …”

Phase Current Equalization Method of IPMSM-Based on-Board Boost Converter for Electric Vehicles by Yunkyung Hwang, Jaehong Kim, Minhyeok Lee, Juwon Choi, Kwanghee Nam

“…In this study, the complete IPMSM inductance model is utilized to obtain an analytical representation of the current ripple as a function of the switching duty and rotor angle. Based on this, the maximum charging current is estimated and the maximum charging power is also derived as a function of the rotor angle. …”

A Comparative Study of Storage Batteries for Electrical Energy Produced by Photovoltaic Panels by Petru Livinti

“…The work involved the construction of a model in MATLAB-Simulink for controlling the loading/unloading of storage batteries with energy produced by photovoltaic panels through a buck-type DC-DC convertor, controlled by means of the MPPT algorithm implemented through the method of incremental conductance based on a MATLAB function. The program for the MATLAB function was developed by the author in the C++ programming environment. …”
