The evolution of the galaxy stellar mass–star formation rate relationship (M∗−SFR) provides key constraints on the stellar mass assembly histories of galaxies. For star-forming galaxies, M∗−SFR is observed to be fairly tight with a slope close to unity from z ∼ 0 → 2, and it evolves downwards roughly independently of M∗. Simulations of galaxy formation reproduce these trends, broadly independen...

This paper presents a Bayesian methodology for computer-aided experimental design of heterogeneous scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. These heterogeneous scaffolds have spatial distributions of growth factors designed to induce and direct the growth of new tissue as the scaffolds degrade. While early scaffold designs have been essentially homogenous, new solid freeform fabrication (...

Solid freeform fabrication (SFF) is recognized as a promising tool for creating tissue engineering scaffolds due to advantages such as superior interconnectivity and highly porous structure. Despite structural support for SFF-based three-dimensional (3-D) scaffolds that can lead to tissue regeneration, lack of cell recognition motifs and/or biochemical factors has been considered a limitation. ...

There has been plenty of observational evidence of cluster galaxy evolution such as the Butcher-Oemler effect and the decrease in S0 fraction with increasing redshift. As a modern version, the redshift evolution of total star formation rate (SFR) in clusters has been actively debated recently. However, these studies of redshift trend have been always hampered by the possible mass dependence; du...

INTRODUCTION The myocardial response to acute stretch consists of a two-phase increase in contractility: an acute increase by the Frank-Starling mechanism and a gradual and time-dependent increase in force generated known as the slow force response (SFR). The SFR is actively modulated by different signaling pathways, but the role of protein kinase G (PKG) signaling is unknown. In this study we ...

This article analyses conditions for including parasports in the Swedish Floorball Federation (SFF) as a case an ongoing large-scale organizational change aimed towards equal opportunities persons with disabilities (PwD) within Sports Confederation. Frame factor theory is used to analyse SFF’s this inclusion pre-stage of change. Thus, aims facilitate sports participation. Twenty-two semi-struct...

The merging cluster of galaxies A2255 is covered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) survey. The physical parameters of 184 bright member galaxies derived from the SDSS data analyses by Brinchmann et al. (2004b) allow a detailed study on the star formation properties of the galaxies within a merging cluster at intermediate redshift. In this paper we perform a morphological classification on ...

One of the great potential benefits offered by solid freeform fabrication (SFF) technology is the ability to create parts that have composition variation within them. Such local composition control (LCC) has the potential to create new classes of components. Material composition can be tailored within a component to achieve local control of properties; for example, index of refraction, electric...

BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a clinical condition characterized by insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity, has been linked with raised levels of serum ferritin (Sfr) concentrations. OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to compare hemoglobin (Hb) and Sfr concentrations in patients with MetS, regular donors and first-time donors. MATERIALS A...
