Substance P Increases Cell-Surface Expression of CD74 (Receptor for Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor): In Vivo Biotinylation of Urothelial Cell-Surface Proteins by Katherine L. Meyer-Siegler, Shen-Ling Xia, Pedro L. Vera

“…SP treatment increased MIF and CD74 mRNA in urothelial cells. Our data indicate that intraluminal MIF, released from urothelial cells as a consequence of SP treatment, interacts with urothelial cell-surface CD74. …”

The Effect of Anthelmintic Treatment on Coccidia Oocyst Shedding in a Wild Mammal Host with Intermittent Cestode Infection by Radovan Václav, Jana Blažeková

“…Here, we study the effect of anthelmintic treatment on coccidia infection intensity in wild Alpine marmots, M. marmota. Our results lend support to the hypothesis that helminth infection has a positive effect on concurrent microparasite infection. …”

Observations of the Ultraviolet-bright Star III-60 in the Globular Cluster NGC 6723 by William V. Dixon

“…The star's effective temperature and luminosity place it on the evolutionary tracks of stars evolving from the blue horizontal branch, but its high mass (∼1.2 M _⊙ ) indicates that it is the product of a stellar merger. …”

Sensing Fractional Power Spectrum of Nonstationary Signals with Coprime Filter Banks by Xiaomin Li, Huali Wang, Wanghan Lv, Haichao Luo

“…And the resolution of the coprime DFT filter banks in the Fourier domain (FD) is 2π/MN, where M and N are coprime. In this work, a digital fractional Fourier transform- (DFrFT-) based coprime filter banks spectrum sensing method is suggested. …”

Cooperative NOMA system with incremental relaying over Nakagami- fading channels by Zhenling Wang, Dawei Qiao

“…In addition, we deeply analyze the outage behavior of the incremental cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access system over Nakagami- m fading channels. Specifically, the exact and asymptotic closed-form expressions of outage probabilities are all derived for paired users u n and u f , which are nearby and distant user, respectively. …”

The Effects of Physical Activity Feedback on Behavior and Awareness in Employees: Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial by Karen Van Hoye, Filip Boen, Johan Lefevre

“…We recruited 320 sedentary employees (age, 41.0 ± 10.7 years; BMI, 26.2 ± 4.2 kg/m2) to participate in the 12-month study. Participants were randomized into one of four intervention groups after being measured for 7 days and nights by means of the SWA: (1) a minimal intervention group received no feedback (MIG, ); (2) a pedometer group was provided only information on their daily step count (PG, ); (3) a display group received feedback on calories burned, steps taken, and minutes of physical activity by means of the SWA display (DG, ); (4) a coaching group also received the display and had weekly meetings with a Personal Coach (CoachG, ). …”
