Background: Only a few long term smokers develop symptomatic chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD) and this may be due, at least in part, to genetic susceptibility to …

Objective: There is increasing evidence that gene copy-number variation influences
phenotypic variation. Chemokine ligand 3-like 1 (CCL3L1) is encoded by a variable copy …

A single-level quantum dot with Coulomb repulsion attached to two superconducting leads
is studied via the perturbation expansion in the interaction strength. We use the Nambu …

Background: Ligands of chemokine receptor CCR5, including MIP-1α, MIP-1β, and
RANTES, have been implicated in rheumatoid arthritis. Objective: To test whether CCR5 d32 …

In this work, a thermodynamic study of four important industrial solvents, ethylene carbonate
(CAS RN: 96-49-1), propylene carbonate (CAS RN: 108-32-7), γ-valerolactone (CAS RN …

We use the dynamical mean-field approximation to study singularities in the self-energy and
a two-particle irreducible vertex induced by the metal-insulator transition of the disordered …

We combine several numerical and semianalytical methods to study the 5 d double
perovskites Sr 2 YIrO 6 and Ba 2 YIrO 6, which were recently proposed to exhibit excitonic …

Association of the PTPN22 locus with rheumatoid arthritis in a New Zealand Caucasian cohort

Self-consistent perturbation expansion up to the second order in the interaction strength is
used to study a single-level quantum dot with local Coulomb repulsion attached …

In an effort to establish reliable thermodynamic data for amino acids, heat capacity and
phase behavior are reported for L-cysteine (CAS RN: 52-90-4), L-serine (CAS RN: 56-45-1) …
