Abstract Our previous genome-wide association study to explore genetic loci associated with lean nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Japan suggested four candidate loci, which were mapped to chr6, chr7, chr12 and chr13.The present study aimed to identify the locus involved functionally in NAFLD around the association signal observed in chr1
This paper shows the results of simulation of features and usability of a proposed method for particle matter (PM) separation detection based on composite electric field.Considering the composite electric field and drag coefficient, a nonlinear dynamic model of particle separation is established.Meanwhile, the model takes into account sheepshead ba
Most of the Italian school buildings were built before the 1973 energy crisis, so they need a retrofit to reduce their primary energy demand and improve the indoor environment quality.Moreover, regardless of age, these buildings have large windows; therefore, it is generally necessary to improve the solar control strategy.The older buildings have h
Metals with bcc arrethe bush balm structure are able to dissolve large amounts of interstitial element atoms in the form of oxygen.These atoms diffuse through the lattice by jumping into octahedral sites with equivalent symmetry, causing strong alterations in the anelastic behavior.This paper reports on a study of Snoek relaxation in Nb-Ti alloys w
