About 50-80% of patients with lupus suffer from lupus nephritis which is one of major causes of morbidity and mortality. Renal pathologists and nephrologists should evaluate the degree of histological damages to establish therapeutic plans for lupus nephritis. In order to standardize definitions, to emphasize clinically relevant lesions, and to improve interobserver reproducibility, the Interna...

[1] In a previous study (Hasan et al., 2006) we applied time series analysis and distributed hydrological modeling techniques to investigate the effect of hydrological processes on observed terrestrial gravity residuals. In this study we apply terrestrial gravity observations (measured in one location) to constrain simple hydrological models in a catchment around the gravimeter. A superconducti...

Inertial navigation systems and gravimeters are now routinely used to map the regional gravitational quantities from an aircraft with mGal accuracy and a spatial resolution of a few kilometers. However, airborne gravimeter of this kind is limited by the inaccuracy of the inertial sensor performance, the integrated navigation technique and the kinematic acceleration determination. As the GPS tec...

Gravitational force and acceleration measurement devises have been in continuous development with the objective to improve the method for realizations of the gravitational acceleration measurand accurately. The accuracy requirements from the field of metrology, geodesy, geophysics and mineral exploration led to these developments. In metrology, knowledge of gravitational acceleration is require...

Society of Nephrology (ISN), by Jean Hamburger in Paris. The new society decided to create an international journal of nephrology to be called Nephrologia . The publisher was to be Karger Editions of Basel, the current publisher of Nephron journals. After a few years of haggling, a name change to Nephron was agreed, and Gabriel Richet of Paris and George Schreiner in Washington, D.C., were to b...

In March 2015, a ground vehicle gravimetry test was implemented in eastern Changsha to assess the repeatability and accuracy of ground vehicle SINS/GNSS gravimeter-SGA-WZ02. The gravity system developed by NUDT consisted of a Strapdown Inertial Navigation System (SINS), a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) remote station on test vehicle, a GNSS static master station on the ground, and a ...
