Deterministic Calculation Method for Continuous-energy Neutron Transport Equation in No-resonance Energy-range by LIU Haopo, LI Yunzhao, WU Hongchun, CAO Liangzhi

“…In order to eliminate the multi-group approximation in the deterministic method, a method for calculating neutron transport equation in the non-resonant energy region based on function expansion was proposed. Initially, the non-resonant energy region was subdivided into segments, and within each segment, orthogonal polynomials serve as base functions for expanding the neutron flux density, which realized the processing of single energy independent variable in the neutron flight and absorption process, as well as the handling of double energy independent variable in the neutron scattering process. …”

The association between TNF-receptors (TNFR1 and TNFR2) and mortality as well as kidney function decline in patients with chronic kidney disease by Per Wändell, Tobias Feldreich, Anders Larsson, Philip A. Kalra, Johan Ärnlöv, Toralph Ruge, Axel C. Carlsson

“…Differences in eGFR decline in relation to plasma TNFR1 and TNFR2 were estimated by both linear and logistic regression models, with regression coefficients and odds ratios (ORs). Results: Univariate models showed significant associations between TNFR1 (n = 985) and TNFR2 (n = 988) and all-cause mortality based on 7424 person-years at risk, but in the fully adjusted models with continuous variables significant only for TNFR2 HR 1.17 (1.03–1.34), but with a borderline value for TNFR1 HR 1.15 (1.00–1.31). …”

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and loss-of-function of the protein underlie the X-linked epilepsy associated with the W356× mutation in synapsin I. by Maila Giannandrea, Fabrizia C Guarnieri, Niels H Gehring, Elena Monzani, Fabio Benfenati, Andreas E Kulozik, Flavia Valtorta

“…Given that the NMD efficiency is highly variable among individuals and cell types, we investigated also the effects of expression of the mutant protein and found that it is expressed at lower levels compared to wild-type synapsin I, forms perinuclear aggregates and is unable to reach presynaptic terminals in mature hippocampal neurons grown in culture. …”
