Diederich-Fornæss Index on Boundaries Containing Crescents
<p>The worm domain developed by Diederich and Fornæss is a classic example of a boundedpseudoconvex domains that fails to satisfy global regularity of the Bergman Projection, due to the set of weakly pseudoconvex points that form an annulus in its boundary. We instead examine a bounded pseudoconvex …

An Experimental Program to Evaluate Proposed Functions of Crescents from the Western United States
Crescents are generally lunate bifaces associated with terminal Pleistocene/early Holocene assemblages in the western U.S. and are commonly found near relict lakeshores, marshes, and the Pacific Coast. Many hypotheses regarding crescents' function have been proposed but it has remained a mystery …

… rate (eGFR) and presence of glomerular crescents between both groups (p ≤ 0.05). After completion of induction therapy, there was no significant difference in remission status (76.0% versus 87.5%; p = 0.33) or relapse status (8.1% versus 10.3%; p = 0.22) for the IVCYC and MMF groups, …

The Role of Von Hippel-Lindau Protein in the Glomerulus
… function within days to weeks and by glomerular crescents on biopsy. The pathogenesis of this disease is unclear, but circulating factors such as antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are believed to play a major role. In this thesis, we show that deletion of the Von Hippel-Lindau gene …

Characterizing Engineered Nanomaterials: From Environmental, Health and Safety Research to the Development of Shaped Nanosphere Lithography for Metamaterials
… and etching left either golden rings or crescents over the surface. The structures had tunable features, with outer diameters ranging from 200 to 350 nm for rings and crescent gap angles of ten to more than a hundred degrees. The use of a double mask method ensured the uniform coverage of …
