  • Selective changes in cytosolic β-adrenergic cAMP signals and L-type Calcium Channel regulation by Phosphodiesterases during cardiac hypertrophy 
    Abi-Gerges, Aniella; Castro, Liliana; Leroy, Jerome; Domergue, Valerie; Fischmeister, Rodolphe; Vandecasteele, Gregoire (2020-11-10)
    Background In cardiomyocytes, phosphodiesterases (PDEs) type 3 and 4 are the predominant enzymes that degrade cAMP generated by β-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs), impacting notably the regulation of the L-type Ca2+ current ...

  • Selective optogenetic stimulation of the retrotrapezoid nucleus in sleeping rats activates breathing without changing blood pressure or causing arousal or sighs 
    Burke, Peter G. R.; Kanbar, Roy; Viar, Kenneth E.; Stornetta, Ruth L.; Guyenet, Patrice G. (2016-10-11)
    Combined optogenetic activation of the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN; a CO2/proton-activated brainstem nucleus) with nearby catecholaminergic neurons (C1 and A5), or selective C1 neuron stimulation, increases blood pressure ...
  • Selective photothermolysis to target sebaceous glands 
    Tannous, Zeina; Sakamoto, Fernanda H.; Doukas, Apostolos G.; Farinelli, William A.; Williams, Gwyn P.; Anderson, Rox R.; Dylla, Frederick H.; Gubeli III, Joseph F. (2017-11-08)
    Background and Objectives The success of permanent laser hair removal suggests that selective photothermolysis (SP) of sebaceous glands, another part of hair follicles, may also have merit. About 30% of sebum consists ...
  • Self-expandable stent-assisted coiling of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms

    BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Endovascular treatment of wide-necked aneurysms remains a therapeutic challenge. We conducted this study to evaluate the angiographic results and clinical outcome of patients treated with stent-assisted ...
  • Self-Expanding Covered Metallic Stent as a Bridge to Surgery in Esophageal Cancer 
    Mariette, Christophe; Gronnier, Caroline; Duhamel, Alain; Mabrut, Jean-Yves; Bail, Jean-Pierre; Carrere, Nicolas; Lefevre, Jérémie H.; Meunier, Bernard; Collet, Denis; Piessen, Guillaume (2022-11-04)
    Background Self-expanding metallic stents (SEMSs) have been used as a bridge to surgery, relieving dysphagia and maintaining nutrition, in patients with operable but obstructive esophageal cancer (EC). However, the impact ...

  • Self-regulated learning in second language classrooms. (c2009) 
    Daouk, Salwa (Lebanese American University, 2011-03-22)
    Various studies have documented a relationship between college students' self-regulatory capabilities and achievement; however, many indicate that not all college students can actively guide and manage their learning. From ...
  • The self‐assessed portfolio 
    Bahous, Rima (2015-11-03)
    This paper reports on a successful attempt to use the portfolio as a sole assessment tool for an upper level language arts course at an English‐medium university in Lebanon. Over four consecutive years in the spring semester, ...
  • Semantic and structure based XML similarity 
    Tekli, Joe; Chbeir, Richard; Yetongnon, Kokou (2017-07-05)
  • Semantic Caching for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan (IEEE, 2024-03-04)
    Nodes in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) acquire data from servers through access points. In order to minimize this interaction, data caching at mobile nodes is employed. This work builds on a recently introduced cooperative ...
  • Semantic to intelligent web era 
    Tekli, Joe; Abou Rjeily, Antoine; Chbeir, Richard; Tekli, Gilbert; Houngue, Pelagie; Yetongnon, Kokou; Abebe, Minale Ashagrie (ACM, 2017-07-04)
