A dent is a gross distortion of the pipe cross-section. Dent depth is defined as the maximum reduction in the diameter of the pipe compared to the original diameter. Pipeline dent finite element (FE) simulation and theoretical analysis are conducted in this paper to develop an understanding of the geometric characteristics and strain distribution in the pressurized dented pipe. Based on the res...

OCRL mutations are associated with both Lowe syndrome and Dent-2 disease, two rare X-linked conditions. Lowe syndrome is an oculo-cerebro-renal disorder, whereas Dent-2 patients mainly present renal proximal tubulopathy. Loss of OCRL-1, a phosphoinositide-5-phosphatase, leads in Lowe patients' fibroblasts to phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) accumulation, with defects in F-actin...

Two experiments were conducted to measure the energy and nutrient digestibilities in NutriDense corn and other cereal grains. An additional objective was to evaluate the effect of balancing diets with AA on the values measured for DE and ME of corn varieties. In Exp. 1, 6 growing pigs were fitted with a T-cannula in the distal ileum and allotted to a 6 x 6 Latin square design to measure apparen...

The presence of odontoblasts in dentinal tubules has been noted by numerous investigators. One of the first to describe their presence was B. Orban (l Dent Res 20:553-557, 1941). The cells were in tubules associated with forceps marks on the root surfaces. Odontoblasts in dentinal tubules have been reported due to various types of trauma to pulps. Cavity preparation (V. E. JAMES and I. SCHOUR, ...

Dent disease has multiple defects attributed to proximal tubule malfunction including low-molecular-weight proteinuria, aminoaciduria, phosphaturia, and glycosuria. To understand the changes in kidney function of the Clc5 chloride/proton exchanger gene knockout mouse model of Dent disease, we examined gene expression profiles from proximal S1 and S2 tubules of mouse kidneys. We found many chang...

Since crown size reduction has been observed in 47-trisomy G (M. M. COHEN and R. A. WINER, J Dent Res 44:197-208, 1965; M. M. COHEN, S. M. GARN, and M. A. GECIAUSKAS, J Dent Res 49:460, 1970) with delayed tooth formation timing (S. M. GARN, C. W. STIMSON, and A. B. LEWIS, J Dent Res 49:640, 1970), it is useful to compare the magnitude of crown size reduction with the magnitude of body size redu...

This paper explains why seemingly irrational overconŽdent behavior can persist. Information aggregation is poor in groups in which most individuals herd. By ignoring the herd, the actions of overconŽdent individuals (“entrepreneurs”) convey their private information. However, entrepreneurs make mistakes and thus die more frequently. The socially optimal proportion of entrepreneurs trades off th...
