Seminiferous tubule differentiation was related to the occurrence of germ cell neoplasia in 38 men, aged 17-47, treated surgically in childhood for cryptorchidism.Tissues from 46 testes obtained from biopsies taken as a neoplastic preventive procedure or whole testes removed because of GCT were evaluated quantitatively.Paraffin sections were treate
Beyond Dependency: Economic Development, Capacity Building, and Generational Sustainability for Indigenous People in Canada
Indigenous people in Canada have continuously been marginalized in economic participation due to an Bobble Head unequal relationship with the state.Many First Nations communities are looking to engage and be a part of the economy while overcoming this dependency.This article explores this unequal relationship and expands on how we can engage Bottle
MIMO radar techniques: two-stage constant false alarm rate detection for fast-fluctuating targets
Here, the authors analyse a two-step constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection problem in Hair Care distributed sensor system (e.g.statistical multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar) for fast-fluctuating targets (TS-AMF-II).The scheme arises when a data rate restriction forces each of the distributed systems to censor their detection statisti
Differential expression and function of PDE8 and PDE4 in effector T cells: Implications for PDE8 as a drug target in inflammation.
Abolishing the inhibitory signal of intracellular cAMP is a prerequisite for effector T (Teff) cell function.The regulation of cAMP within leukocytes critically depends on its degradation by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs).We have previously shown that PDE8A, a PDE isoform with 40-100-fold greater affinity for cAMP than PDE4, is selecti
Lightweight Authenticated Key Agreement Protocol for Smart Power Grid Systems Using PUF
The Smart Power Grid (SPG) is pivotal in orchestrating and managing demand response in contemporary smart cities, leveraging the prowess of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).Within the immersive SPG environment, the ubiquitous deployment of smart meters stands as a testament to their paramount importance in the realm of vigilant mon
