Electron microscopic morphometry of podocyte foot process effacement as a tool to distinguish primary from secondary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)
… (EM) foot process width (FPW) and effacement (FPE), and treatment options. Primary FSGS commonly presents as nephrotic syndrome (NS), shows diffuse FPE with a FPW >1500nm, and is generally responsive to steroid therapy. Secondary FSGS does not present with NS (non-nephrotic), shows focal FPE …

The required ansatz to construct Lie point transformations and the symmetries of a first-order stochastic differential equation
… transformations of the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE), which is a second-order linear parabolic partial differential equation (PDE), are projectable by using the ansatz. We further obtain the symmetries of a stochastic ordinary differential equation (SODE) which corresponds to those of the FPE. …

Exploration of the transcriptomes and functional contributions of Listeria monocytogenes plasmids during food production-associated stress conditions
… in the food production environment (FPE), defined as the repeated isolation of the same strain over several months, leads to the reoccurrence of food product recalls and listeriosis outbreaks. Recently, it was revealed that the plasmids of L. monocytogenes are highly conserved and …

Essays in economics of education: free primary education, birth order and human capital development in Lesotho
… countries instituted Free Primary Education (FPE) policies. Lesotho instituted the FPE programme in 2000 on a grade-by-grade basis; first abolishing school fees in grade one, and then in successive higher grades each following year. This thesis consists of a short introductory chapter, three …

Efficient solution of the Fokker-Planck Equation via smooth particle hydrodynamics for nonlinear estimation
… equation. The Fokker-Planck Equation (FPE) is the degenerate parabolic partial differential continuity equation that fully defines the evolution of the states' transition probability density function (PDF) over time. This also makes the transient solution to the FPE an option for …

Temporary Employment Agencies in Ontario: Experiences of South Asian Immigrant Women
… by the feminist political economy perspective (FPE), this study examines the experiences of recent South Asian immigrant women working through temporary employment agencies in Ontario, paying particular attention to how social factors such as gender, race and immigrant status shape these …

The role of shame in the relationships among childhood maltreatment, fears of evaluation, and associated submissive behaviors
… (FNE) and fear of positive evaluation (FPE), such as submissive behavior displays (e.g., eye gaze avoidance). Additionally, previous literature (while limited) suggests that negative affect, especially shame, may play an influential role in the relationship between overall childhood …

Challenges in the implementation and provision of quality free primary education in public primary schools in Nyimba district.
… encountered by school managers in implementing FPE policy, to solicit proposals on how the challenges faced have affected education delivery, to identify the strategies employed by the school managers in an attempt to achieve quality education following the implementation of FPE. The study …

A framework for ship stability in a seastate using the state-space Fokker-Planck method
… them is the use of the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE), a deterministic partial differential equation governing the joint probability density function of the states of the SDE. The formulation for a rectangular barge rolling in beam waves is presented, with the approach readily extendable to …

Stochastic modeling of nonisothermal antisolvent crystallization processes
… Thesis is based on the Fokker Plank Equation (FPE), which has allowed finding an analytical solution of the model, with some assumptions, and obtaining an analytical model able to describe the evolution of the mean size of crystals and the variance of the CSD. This analytical solution has …

"When He Comes Home, Then He Can Decide": Male Out-Migration, the Feminization of Agriculture, and Integrated Pest Management in the Nepali Mid-Hills
… NGOs. Grounded in feminist political ecology (FPE) and drawing on the social relations approach (SRA), we sought to engage with the feminization of agriculture narrative and understand how it interacts with IPM practices and decision-making. This research responds to a growing interest within …

Effects of UV Irradiation on the Reduction of Bacterial Pathogens and Chemical Indicators of Milk
… 1.5 sec using the CiderSure 3500 apparatus (FPE Inc., Macedon, NY). Bacterial concentrations before and after UV exposure were enumerated and the results indicated that processing temperature was not significantly related to bacterial reduction (p > 0.05). The results did indicate that skim …

Implementation of Self-Consolidating Concrete for Bridge Applications
… behavior of the beam (Pe = 707.5 kips or fpe = 159.7 ksi), was within 1.5% of a direct measurement of the residual strain based on strand strain readings, which were taken directly from the strand strain gage readings. The test beam exhibited higher deflection and lower capacity at …

Influence du crabe vert (carcinus maenas) sur le comportement du crabe commun (cancer irroratus)
… récemment établi à l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard (fPE) et sa niche écologique semble chevaucher celle du crabe commun (Cancer irroratus). La relation entre ces deux crabes reste encore aujourd'hui peu documentée. Une compétition potentielle entre ces deux crabes est possible (ex. nourriture, …

Solution of the Fokker-Planck Equation by Sequentially Optimized Meshfree Approximation
This thesis presents a technique to solve the Fokker-Planck equation by applica- tion of the Sequentially Optimized Meshfree Approximation (SOMA) method. It is well known that numerical solution of the Fokker-Planck equation is made di cult by the challenges of positivity enforcement, in nite …
