The article presents the experimental results of combining a basic microstructure with partly closed pores and mesh covering for heat transfer enhancement at film flow refrigerant mixture. To reveal effect combined structure, on microstructured surface without as well smooth only has been studied. All series were carried out using binary mixture R114 R21 refrigerants. flowed down outer vertical...

Abstract Vitamin E nicotinate is an ester of tocopherol (vitamin E) and niacin B3). Niacin linked to the hydroxyl group active vitamin E, blocking free radical scavenging properties. While this can be chemically synthesized, whether formed from in biological system unclear. Metabolomics analysis performed our laboratory demonstrated that level 30-fold lower rats suffering inflammatory state. Th...

Abstract The nosocomial pathogen Clostridioides difficile colonizes the gastrointestinal tract of patients following microbiome disruption and secretes two major virulence factors toxin A (TcdA) B (TcdB). Approximately 25% infected with C. experience recurrent infection, rate recurrence increases each subsequent infection. quality protective capacity adaptive immune response generated infection...

The success of engineering complex technical systems is determined by meeting customer requirements and institutional regulations. One example relevant to the automobile industry United Nations Economic Commission Europe (UN ECE), which specifies homologation series requires proof traceability. required traceability can be achieved modeling system artifacts their relations in a consistent, seam...

Abstract Ultraviolet B (UVB) light is a common environmental trigger that can induce flares in several autoimmune diseases, but the mechanisms mediate UVB-induced photosensitivity remain poorly understood. We used mice which express an autoimmune-driving isoform of Foxp3, called FoxP3 ΔE2mice, to develop model cutaneous photosensitivity. In steady-state, ΔE2mice have high serum titers IgE targe...

Abstract Pim kinases affect cell survival, proliferation, transcriptional activation, and protein translation by phosphorylating various target substrates. We previously showed that Pim2 plays a distinct role from Pim1 Pim3, negatively regulates T-cell allogeneic response anti-tumor immunity. was reported to promote the induction of autophagy in cancer cells, cellular process critically impacts...

Jordan University of Science and Technology (Irbid, Jordan), Research Triangle Institute (North Carolina, USA) and Virgina Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virgina, USA) were granted an R21 planning grant funded by FDA, USA through an International Cooperative Biodiversity Group (ICBG) program to study the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan’s flora and soil microorganism as a source of new ...
