Lipoprotein (a)—We Know So Much Yet Still Have Much to Learn …
L ipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) has been identified as an independent , causal risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). 1,2 Lp(a) has a structure similar to low-density lipopro-tein (LDL) in its lipid core composition in addition to a molecule of apolipoprotein B 100 (apoB), but also contains a unique glycoprotein—apo(a), with strong structural homology with plasminogen. 2 Apo(a) contains anything...
متن کاملWhat if We Only Have Approximate Stochastic Dominance?
In many practical situations, we need to select one of the two alternatives, and we do not know the exact form of the user’s utility function – e.g., we only know that it is increasing. In this case, stochastic dominance result says that if the cumulative distribution function (cdf) corresponding to the first alternative is always smaller than or equal than the cdf corresponding to the second a...
متن کاملWould you rather be a 'birth' or a 'genetic' mother? If so, how much?
Judges face difficult choices when the birth and genetic mothers of a child are separate people who dispute maternal access; the views of the general population may help them. Fifty women were asked whether, if they were infertile and could have only one child, they would prefer to be birth mothers (to carry a baby which was not genetically theirs) or genetic mothers (to have another woman carr...
متن کاملVibrio biofilms: so much the same yet so different.
Vibrios are natural inhabitants of aquatic environments and form symbiotic or pathogenic relationships with eukaryotic hosts. Recent studies reveal that the ability of vibrios to form biofilms (i.e. matrix-enclosed, surface-associated communities) depends upon specific structural genes (flagella, pili and exopolysaccharide biosynthesis) and regulatory processes (two-component regulators, quorum...
متن کاملIf Archimedes would have known functions
Could calculus on graphs have emerged by the time of Archimedes, if function, graph theory and matrix concepts were available 2300 years ago? 1. Single variable calculus Calculus on integers deals with functions f (x) like f (x) = x 2. The difference Df (x) = f (x) = f (x + 1) − f (x) = 2x + 1 as well as the sum Sf (x) = x−1 k=0 f (k) with the understanding Sf (0) = 0, Sf (−1) = f (−1) are func...
