Fixed Points for Multivalued Convex Contractions on Nadler Sense Types in a Geodesic Metric Space
2019
In 1969, based on the concept of the Hausdorff metric, Nadler Jr. introduced the notion of multivalued contractions. He demonstrated that, in a complete metric space, a multivalued contraction possesses a fixed point. Later on, Nadler&rsquo
Clinicopathological Significance of Syndecan-1 in Cholangiocarcinoma: A Study Based on Immunohistochemistry and Public Sequencing Data

Background: Syndecan-1 (CD138
Polyoxypregnanes as safe, potent, and specific ABCB1-inhibitory pro-drugs to overcome multidrug resistance in cancer chemotherapy in vitro and in vivo
2021
Multidrug resistance (MDR) mediated by ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) is significantly hindering effective cancer chemotherapy. However, currently, no ABCB1-inhibitory drugs have been approved to treat MDR cancer clinically, mainly due to the inhibitor specificity, toxicity, and drug interactions. Here, we reported that three polyoxypregnanes (POPs) as the most abundant constituents of Marsdenia tenacissima (M. tenacissima) were novel ABCB1-modulatory pro-drugs, which underwent intestinal microbiota-mediated biotransformation in vivo to generate active metabolites. The metabolites at non-toxic concentrations restored chemosensitivity in ABCB1-overexpressing cancer cells v…
Positive effects of an extracellular matrix hydrogel on rat anterior cruciate ligament fibroblast proliferation and collagen mRNA expression
2015
Summary Background/Objective We have previously shown that an extracellular matrix (ECM) bioscaffold derived from porcine small intestine submucosa (SIS) enhanced the healing of a gap injury of the medial collateral ligament as well as the central third defect of the patellar tendon. With the addition of a hydrogel form of SIS, we found that a transected goat anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) could also be healed. The result begs the research question of whether SIS hydrogel has positive effects on ACL fibroblasts (ACLFs) and thus facilitates ACL healing. Methods In the study, ECM-SIS hydrogel was fabricated from the digestion of decellularised and sterilised sheets of SIS derived from αGal-…
Lavtemperatur brenselceller
2005
Dokumentet er en del av en eksamensoppgave i MEF4200 Energimaterialer ved UiO høsten 2004. Som del av eksamen i emnet MEF4200 Energimaterialer ved Universitetet i Oslo (UiO) høsten 2004 var oppgaven å skrive en populærvitenskapelig artikkel for avgangselever i videregående skole. Artikkelen presenteres her og omhandler lavtemperatur brenselceller. De brenselcelletypene som beskrives er alkaliske brenselceller, PEM-brenselceller og metanolbrenselceller, alle med en driftstemperatur på normalt under 100 °C, og deres bruksområder.

Time-Varying mHAP-III Is the Most Accurate Predictor of Survival in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Undergoing Transarterial Chemoembolization
2021
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The prognosis of patients undergoing transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is extremely variable, and a confounding factor is that TACE is often repeated several times. We retrospectively evaluated the accuracy of different prognostic scores and staging systems in estimating overall survival (OS) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> An analysis considering prognostic models as time-varying variables was performed, calculating OS from the time of TACE to the time of the subsequent treatment. Total follow-up time for each patient was therefore split into several observation times ac…
Leon Battista Alberti archeologo
2007
Il Convegno rientra nelle celebrazioni ufficiali per il VI centenario della nascita del grande umanista del Quattrocento italiano. Il contributo, unico nel panorama della critica albertiana, mira a mettere a fuoco le propensioni antiquarie e archeologiche dell'Alberti, inquadrando questi interessi nel vasto panorama della cultura antiquaria del Quattrocento italiano. Ne rivela anche aspetti significativi nel suo concreto operare come architetto e ne ricostruisce le pratiche della ricerca sui monumenti antichi di Roma e di molte altre parti dell'Italia.
Flexibility in otherwise consistent non-breeding movements of a long-distance migratory seabird, the long-tailed skua
2017
Quantifying within- and between-individual variation in animal migration strategies is a first step towards our understanding of the ability of migrants to adjust to changes in the en - vironment. We studied consistency (or, conversely, flexibility) in movement patterns at large (>1000 km) to meso-scales (100−1000 km) during the non-breeding season of the long-tailed skua Stercorarius longicaudus, a long-distance migratory Arctic seabird, using light-based geolocation. We obtained 97 annual tracks of 38 individuals and quantified similarity between routes. Overall, tracks of the same individual were generally within about 200 to 300 km of their previous year’s route, and more similar than t…
