Minimal Kidney Disease Phenotype in Heterozygous Null Mice.

Background: Shroom family member 3 (SHROOM3) encodes an actin-associated protein that regulates epithelial morphology during development. Several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variances primarily in the 5' region of SHROOM3, associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and poor transplant outcomes. These genetic variants are associated with alterations in Shroom3 expression.

Shroom3, a Gene Associated with CKD, Modulates Epithelial Recovery after AKI.

Background: Ischemia-induced AKI resulting in tubular damage can often progress to CKD and is a common cause of nephrology consultation. After renal tubular epithelial damage, molecular and cellular mechanisms are activated to repair and regenerate the damaged epithelium. If these mechanisms are impaired, AKI can progress to CKD.

Experimental evaluation of a linear angular momentum multiplexed radio link for moving platforms.

Linear angular momentum multiplexing (LAMM) has recently been proposed for high spectral-efficiency communications between moving platforms, such as between trains and ground infrastructure. We present performance results obtained from a scale experimental system comprising a 2 × 2 antenna system operating at 2.35 GHz.

Experimental evaluation of spectral efficiency from a circular array antenna producing a Laguerre-Gauss mode.

We present the four-dimensional volumetric electromagnetic field measurements (, , and frequency) of the complex radiated field produced by an 8-element circular antenna array. The array is designed to produce a Laguerre-Gauss (LG) mode = +1 over the frequency range of 9-10 GHz. We evaluate our findings in terms of far-field LG mode purity and spectral efficiency in terms of the quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) modulation scheme that can be supported.

Linear angular momentum multiplexing-conceptualization and experimental evaluation with antenna arrays.

Linear angular momentum multiplexing is a new method for providing highly spectrally efficient short-range communication between a transmitter and receiver, where one may move at speed transverse to the propagation. Such applications include rail, vehicle and hyperloop transport systems communicating with fixed infrastructure on the ground. This paper describes how the scientific concept of linear angular momentum multiplexing evolves from orbital angular momentum multiplexing.
