Le planant planisme de la plaine by Denis Delbaere

“…Yet, far from preventing it from being implemented, such criticism provides the plan with the paradoxical means of its execution : by arguing in favour of their projects against the plan in force, the prime contractors contribute towards making it known and being given physical form. …”

A Torelli theorem for graphs via quasistable divisors by Alex Abreu, Marco Pacini

“…We present a combinatorial version of the Torelli theorem, which demonstrates that the poset of quasistable divisors of a graph completely determines the biconnected components of the graph (up to contracting separating edges). Moreover, we achieve a natural extension of this theorem to tropical curves.…”

Acute Kidney Injury Associated with Linagliptin by Deepak K. Nandikanti, Elvira O. Gosmanova, Aidar R. Gosmanov

“…We hypothesize that AKI was due to renal hypoperfusion from linagliptin-induced natriuresis and intravascular volume contraction in the setting of concomitant lisinopril use, which is known to impair autoregulation and potentiate hypotension-induced AKI. …”
