Paradoxical sleep deprivation increases plasma endothelin levels

The endothelins (ET-1, 2 and 3) constitute a family of 21 amino acid peptides with potent biological activities.ET-1 is one of the most potent endogenous vasoconstrictors so far identified and its increased concentration in plasma appears to be closely related to the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension as well as to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Improving the description of multiple interactions in Herwig

Abstract The modeling of multiple parton interactions in Monte Carlo event generators is a crucial part not only for the Queen Slat Platform Bed dressing of signal processes but also to describe data with a minimum bias on the event selection.Much work has and will be put into the Skewers theoretical framework and the numerical implementation of th
