An emerging solution to privacy issues in smart grids is battery-based load hiding (BLH) that uses a rechargeable battery to decouple the meter readings from user activities. However, existing BLH algorithms have two significant limitations: (1) Most of them focus on flattening high-frequency variation of usage profile only, thereby still revealing a low-frequency shape; (2) Otherwise, they ass...

RNA-binding protein TLS/FUS is a causative gene for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). TLS mutations induce the propensity of TLS to form aggregates in motor neurons causing neuronal degenerative lesions to their necrosis. TLS is prone to be precipitated in high concentration around 10 mg/ml, while mutated TLS is suspected to be precipitated even l...

BACKGROUND White coat hypertension (WCHT) is a significant clinical condition with haemodynamic differences and presence of functional changes. We aim to compare cognitive and autonomic dysfunction variables (heart rate variability) between subjects with normal blood pressure (controls), WCHT, and borderline hypertension (BLH). METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study in a cohort of 69 su...

BACKGROUND: Conversion of BLH wetland forests to agriculture is a primary cause of wetland loss in the southeastern United States (Figure 1). Restoration of BLH in abandoned agricultural fields, however, has had limited success. Low survival rates of planted trees are a consequence of several environmental factors such as water stress and herbivory. However, pilot studies of growth of seedlings...

We used the denitrification enWetland restoration projects are frequently evaluated by their hyzyme activity (DEA) assay, a measure of the potential of drologic roles and vegetation characteristics, but their success in rea microbial population to produce the nitrate reductase storing biogeochemical processes, such as...

The reaction of the water-soluble carbodiimide, lethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, @DC) with bovine lutropin (bLH) has been studied. Increasing the concentration of EDC from 0.01 M to 0.1 M increased the extent of covalent cross-linking between the 1y and p subunits of bLH with a concomitant decrease in receptor-binding activity of the nondissociable product from 40% (0.01 M EDC) to 5...

We have studied subunit-subunit interactions in bovine lutropin (bLH) through characterization of carbodiimide-cross-linked derivatives (EDCbLH). Spectrophotometric titrations indicated that an additional tyrosine residue ionizes abnormally in EDCbLH compared to native bLH. Furthermore, only five out of seven tyrosines in the cross-linked derivative were ionized at pH 13. Treatment with tetrani...

Abstract The diurnal/seasonal structure of the boundary layer height (BLH) is investigated over East Asia by using hourly synoptic monthly ERA5 reanalysis variables from 1979 to 2019. Sensible heat flux (SHF) major factor in temporal and spatial variation BLH. Although BLH, general, positively correlated with SHF throughout year, BLH-SHF relationship varies significantly based on surface type, ...

Benign lymphoid hyperplasia (BLH) is a rare type of lymphoproliferative disease of the oral mucosa. The present study reports a 61-year-old man who presented to the hospital with a soft polyp formation in the left buccal mucosa. He was suspected with a granuloma from cracked tooth, and an excisional biopsy was performed under local anesthesia. The histopathological examination of the specimen c...

We report the first case of ocular benign lymphoid hyperplasia (BLH) treated with subconjunctival injection of bevacizumab (Avastin). A 27-year-old man presented to our clinic with conjunctival masses and limbal neovascularization. An incisional biopsy yielded the diagnosis of BLH. The patient was subsequently given a subconjunctival injection of bevacizumab (1.25 mg / 0.1 mL). The patient did ...
