Expression of kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1) is rapidly upregulated following tubular injury, constituting a biomarker for acute kidney damage. We examined the renal localization of Kim-1 expression in PKD/Mhm (polycystic kidney disease, Mannheim) (cy/+) rats (cy: mutated allel, +: wild type allel), an established model for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, with chronic, mainly pr...

The study investigated the effects of feeding duration on length and weight ileum, basal endogenous loss (BEL) phosphorus (P) broiler chickens fed a P-free diet (PFD). A standard starter was to 384 birds for 15 days. On day 15, they were weighed randomly allocated one three treatment groups in randomized complete block design, with eight replicate cages per 16 cage. each group PFD 2, 3, or 4 Th...

We describe the operational principles of a scalable hardware accelerator for volume rendering. The basic philosophy is to provide an atomic unit which already provides sophisticated volume graphics at interactive rendering speed. Realtime speed can then be achieved by operating multiple units in par­ allel. The basic unit consists of just four VLSI chips and the volume memory and thus meets th...
