The LIM homeodomain gene Islet-1 (ISL1) encodes a transcription factor that has been associated with the multipotency of human cardiac progenitors, and in mice enables the correct deployment of second heart field (SHF) cells to become the myocardium of atria, right ventricle and outflow tract. Other markers have been identified that characterize subdomains of the SHF, such as the fibroblast gro...

Congenital heart defects affect at least 0.8% of newborn children and are a major cause of lethality prior to birth. Malformations of the arterial pole are particularly frequent. The myocardium at the base of the pulmonary trunk and aorta and the arterial tree associated with these great arteries are derived from splanchnic mesoderm of the second heart field (SHF), an important source of cardia...

Adherence to antipsychotic medication is a significant challenge among homeless patients. No experimental trials have investigated the impact of Housing First on adherence among patients with schizophrenia. We investigated whether Housing First in congregate and scattered-site configurations resulted in superior adherence compared to usual care. Adult participants (n = 165) met criteria for hom...

The Prdm1/Blimp1 protein acts as a transcriptional repressor by recruiting co-repressors leading to direct repression and indirect activation of gene expression. Prdm1 is dynamically expressed during development and, strikingly, has been shown to control specific differentiation programs in each of the different domains studied to date. During heart formation, Prdm1 is expressed in the second h...

Abstract Background All-cause mortality is lower with a high substitution volume in predilution (pre) and postdilution (post) online hemodiafiltration (OHDF) than hemodialysis (HD), does not significantly differ between pre- post-OHDF groups. Despite the improved survival volume, there may be limitations. On other hand, either normoalbuminemia or albumin leakage HD can reduce mortality, super h...

In Infrared Image Enhancement using Wavelet Transform, two enhancement algorithms namely spatial and spatiotemporal homomorphic filtering (SHF and STHF) have been given for enhancement of the far infrared images based upon a far infrared imaging model. Although spatiotemporal homomorphic filtering may reduce the number of iterations greatly in comparison to spatial one for a similar degree of c...

Abstract The diurnal/seasonal structure of the boundary layer height (BLH) is investigated over East Asia by using hourly synoptic monthly ERA5 reanalysis variables from 1979 to 2019. Sensible heat flux (SHF) major factor in temporal and spatial variation BLH. Although BLH, general, positively correlated with SHF throughout year, BLH-SHF relationship varies significantly based on surface type, ...

Abstract This study investigates the spatial scale dependence of relationship between turbulent surface heat flux (SHF) and sea temperature (SST) variations in mid-latitude frontal zones, subtropical gyres, tropical Indo-western Pacific region winter summer with daily observational data. A comparison SHF SST/SST tendency correlation 1° 4° displays a decrease positive SHF–SST an increase negativ...

Software companies need to measure their productivity. Measures are useful indicators evaluate processes, projects, products, and people who part of software development teams. The results these measurements used make decisions, manage improve project management processes. This research is based on selecting a set measures related social human factors (SHF) that influence productivity in teams ...
