Abstract:
The invention provides, in certain embodiments, a method of assaying an indicator of, and treating, renal injury or renal disease. The method entails assaying a urine sample for periostin, wherein the presence of periostin at an elevated level indicates the presence and/or degree of renal injury or renal disease. The method also involves prescribing, initiating, or altering prophylaxis or therapy for renal injury or renal disease. Also provided, are methods of determining progression of these conditions, as well as methods of determining subjects' response to treatment.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for compensation and restoring of a coverage area, for realizing energy saving and compensation between nodes. The coverage compensation method includes: judging whether or not the trigger condition for starting an energy saving and compensation process is satisfied according to a preset energy saving and compensation strategy; when the trigger condition for starting the energy saving and compensation process is satisfied, one of a first node and a second node carries out an energy saving operation in the energy saving and compensation process while the other node carries out a compensation operation in the energy saving and compensation process; wherein the first node is a compensation node and the second node is an energy saving node, or the first node is an energy saving node and the second node is a compensation node. Further disclosed is a device for implementing the method.
Abstract:
A method, a computer program product, and an apparatus for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus transmits broadcast information in a first broadcast resource from a first set of broadcast resources. In addition, the apparatus determines based on the broadcast information a need for a second broadcast resource from a second set of broadcast resources. Furthermore, the apparatus selects the second broadcast resource based on a priority associated with the first broadcast resource.

Abstract:
There is provided a composite electrode including either a single layer or a bilayer. The single layer electrode includes an alloy of a first metal having an electrical conductivity greater than 105 Scm−1 and a real refractive index less than 2.1 in the range of 380 to 780 nm. The bilayer electrode includes: (a) layer M1 having a first thickness and including the first metal; and (b) layer M2 having a second thickness and including a second metal, where the second metal has an electrical conductivity less than 105 Scm−1. In the bilayer electrode, layer M1 is in physical contact with layer M2, and the first thickness is greater than the second thickness.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for obtaining bearer condition during a handover of UE. The method includes: receiving, by a mobile management entity (MME), information of at least one bearer allowed to be accepted by a target base station (eNB) when the eNB makes an admission control for a UE based on received bearer information of the UE during handover of the UE; updating, by the MME, a UE-AMBR used by the target eNB based on the received at least one bearer. The present invention also provides an MME which enables the target side obtain actual bearer condition during handover of a UE.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an operational state determination apparatus (1) for determining whether a variation in a determined electrical parameter of an electrical network (2) is caused by a variation in an operational state of an electrical consumer of the electrical network. The electrical network comprises multiple electrical consumers (3, 4, 5) and a voltage source (6), wherein a variation classification unit (10) determines whether a variation in the determined electrical parameter of the electrical network is caused by a variation in the operational state of an electrical consumer of the network depending on a decision variable which depends on a variation in a measured voltage and a variation in a measured current of the electrical network. This determination can be performed, without directly using the variation in the determined electrical parameter of the electrical network and is therefore less influenced by random voltage fluctuations in the electrical network.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dialkoxyl magnesium carrier, which is a product produced by a reflux reaction of magnesium, an alcohol and mixed halogenated agents under an inert atmosphere. The mixed halogenated agents are iodine and magnesium chloride, and the weight ratio between iodine and magnesium chloride is 0.05:1-1:0.01. The dialkoxyl magnesium carrier is spheroid with uniform particle size distribution, excellent particle morphology and high bulk density. A solid catalyst component and a catalyst based on this carrier for olefin polymerization are also provided, and olefin polymers having a wide molecular weight distribution, good stereoregularity, excellent particle morphology and a low content of fine powders can be obtained.
Abstract:
Organometallic complexes are provided having at least one charge transporting ligand, and methods for making the same, as well as devices and sub-assemblies including the same.
Abstract:
A method, a computer program product, and an apparatus for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus adjusts a number of sets of identifiers in a plurality of sets of identifiers based on traffic information. In addition, the apparatus selects an identifier from a set of identifiers of the plurality of sets of identifiers based on the traffic information. Furthermore, the apparatus communicates using resources associated with the selected identifier. The traffic information may include at least one of direction of travel, map information, velocity, whether approaching an intersection, whether departing an intersection, location, a number of vehicles within a particular area, information from other vehicles, type of intersection, whether the intersection includes stop lights or stop signs, at least one computed value based on acquired traffic information, or information from other wireless devices.
