ACIDOSIS ACTIVATES THE NRF2 PATHWAY IN RENAL PROXIMAL TUBULE-DERIVED CELLS THROUGH A CROSSTALK WITH RENAL FIBROBLASTS

Acidosis Activates the Nrf2 Pathway in Renal Proximal Tubule-Derived Cells through a Crosstalk with Renal Fibroblasts

Crosstalk of renal epithelial cells with interstitial fibroblasts plays an important role in kidney pathophysiology.A previous study showed that crosstalk between renal epithelial cells and renal fibroblasts protects against acidosis-induced damage.In order to gain further mechanistic insight into this crosstalk, we investigated the effect of acido

Use of three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model for a new configuration of circular primary settling tank

Appropriately used, computational fluid dynamics models are powerful tools to design and optimize primary settling tanks (PSTs).This paper uses a Fluent-based 3D model to identify the possible causes for underperformance of the circular PSTs at the Cali waste-water treatment plant, Colombia, and to propose design modifications to improve performanc

The syntax of interjections in isiXhosa : A a corpus-driven study

This paper examines the syntactic properties of interjections in isiXhosa and their compliance with the interjectional prototype and its TOPCOAT SPRAY extra-systematicity as postulated in linguistic typology.By reviewing nearly two thousand uses of interjections in the comic genre, the authors conclude the following: in its integrity, the category

Comparison of artificial intelligence algorithms and their ranking for the prediction of genetic merit in sheep

Abstract As the amount of data on farms grows, it is important to evaluate the potential of artificial intelligence for making farming Razor Blades predictions.Considering all this, this study was undertaken to evaluate various machine learning (ML) algorithms using 52-year data for sheep.Data preparation was done before analysis.Breeding values we
