BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Dent disease is a hereditary form of progressive renal failure characterized by hypercalciuria and proximal tubular dysfunction. The clinical presentation is often insidious with the majority of patients remaining asymptomatic throughout childhood. Despite the seemingly mild, early course, more than 20% of 32 asymptomatic patients in one study had biopsy evidence of fo...

It is now becoming generally noted that many diseases of hitherto unknown aetiology are due to inborn errors of metabolism in the sense in which Garrod (1923) used this term. Although these diseases cover the whole of medicine it has been particularly gratifying to note that mental disease, especially mental deficiency which currently is responsible for one of our main medical problems, has bee...

The Herschel GASPS key program is a survey of the gas phase of protoplanetary discs, targeting 240 objects which cover a large range of ages, spectral types, and disc properties. To interpret this large quantity of data and initiate self-consistent analyses of the gas and dust properties of protoplanetary discs, we have combined the capabilities of the radiative transfer code MCFOST with the ga...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Lowe syndrome is defined by congenital cataracts, mental retardation, and proximal tubulopathy and is due to mutations in OCRL. Recently, mutations in OCRL were found to underlie some patients with Dent disease, characterized by low molecular weight proteinuria, hypercalciuria, and nephrocalcinosis. This phenotypic heterogeneity is poorly understood. DESIGN, SETTING,...

We argue that individual characteristics of managers can explain capital structure decisions like debt conservatism and pecking-order …nancing choices. Moreover, they can explain cross-sectional variation in these decisions despite identical …rm characteristics. We link the reluctance of (some) managers to access external capital markets, and in particular equity markets, to managerial overcon…...

This paper presents a fatigue life prediction model of post-impacted sheets considering the effects dent size and stress ratio. Low-velocity impact tests at four different energies were performed on specimens cut from 2524-T3 7075-T62 aluminium alloy. Following tests, static tensile uni-axial constant amplitude block spectrum experiments conducted. Numerical models generated to determine initia...
