Abstract Background The pathophysiological causes of kidney disease are not fully understood.Here we show that the integration of genome-wide genetic, transcriptomic, and proteomic association studies can nominate causal determinants of kidney function and damage.Results Through transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) in kidney cortex, kidney
Beam-Shape-Based Angle-of-Arrival Estimation in Free-Space Laser Communication
A novel technique is proposed for estimating the Olives angle-of-arrival (AOA) in free-space laser communication based on the shape of a laser beam spot on a flat surface.Two methods are introduced: one where ellipses are fitted to the intensity contour of the beam spot, and another where a least-squares fit of an AOA-dependent two-dimensional Gaus
In situ Estimation of Coral Recruitment Patterns From Shallow to Mesophotic Reefs Using an Optimized Fluorescence Imaging System
Coral recruitment represents a key element for coral reef persistence and resilience in the face of environmental disturbances.Studying coral recruitment patterns is fundamental for assessing reef health and implementing appropriate management strategies in an era of climate change.The FluorIS system has been developed to acquire high resolution, w
Pancreatic β‐cell Function is Higher in Morning Versus Intermediate Chronotypes With Obesity
ABSTRACT Objectives People with later chronotypes are at greater T2D risk, yet it is unknown if ??cell function differs among chronotypes.Thus we, assessed ??cell function in morning (MORN) and intermediate (INT) chronotypes with obesity.Methods Adults (n = 41, 9M, 55 ± 1.7 y, 36.8 ± 1.0 kg/m2) were grouped as MORN or INT per the Morningn
