For the creation of surface reinforcement particles in metal matrix, friction stir processing is frequently utilized. Formation aluminum/SiC composite on Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) butt weld Al5083 by a novel technique direct (DFSP) using hollow tool successfully demonstrated this present work. Deposition SiC zone DFSP was confirmed X-Ray diffraction (XRD) method. Micro analysis joint achieved me...

Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum), one of the most popular cultivated herbs worldwide, displays a number of varieties differing in several characteristics, such as the color of the leaves. The development of a reference transcriptome for sweet basil, and the analysis of differentially expressed genes in acyanic and cyanic cultivars exposed to natural sunlight irradiance, has interest from horticul...

Withaferin A (WA), a major bioactive component of the Indian herb Withania somnifera, induces cell death (apoptosis/necrosis) in multiple types of tumor cells, but the molecular mechanism underlying this cytotoxicity remains elusive. We report here that 2 μM WA induced cell death selectively in androgen-insensitive PC-3 and DU-145 prostate adenocarcinoma cells, whereas its toxicity was less sev...

In this investigation, the mechanical behaviour and microstructural examination of friction stir processed (FSP) Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welded aluminium dissimilar alloys has been studied. The research is proposed to enhance characteristics alloy 5052-H32 5083-H111 TIG FSP joints. Initially, welding was done join by employing a ER5356 filler rod. performed using following parameters: tungsten...

Trigger factor (TF) is a ribosome-bound protein that combines catalysis of peptidyl-prolyl isomerization and chaperone-like activities in Escherichia coli. TF was shown to cooperate with the DnaK (Hsp70) chaperone machinery in the folding of newly synthesized proteins, and the double deletion of the corresponding genes (tig and dnaK) exhibited synthetic lethality. We used a detailed genetic app...

The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of one rare sugar, D-allose, on normal human cells and cutaneous tissue, and to investigate the radiosensitizing and chemosensitizing potential of D-allose in an in vivo model of head and neck cancer. Results indicated that D-allose did not inhibit the growth of normal human fibroblasts TIG-1 cells, and no apoptotic changes were observed aft...

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has a poor prognosis and few efficacious treatments. The immunosuppressant cyclosporin A has been shown to inhibit tumour growth factor (TGF)-beta-induced collagen deposition in vitro, and is widely used in Japan as a potent antifibrotic agent. Tacrolimus (FK506) is another attractive immunosuppressant, which may be useful in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis. Th...

Polypeptides emerging from the ribosome are assisted by a pool of molecular chaperones and targeting factors, which enable them to efficiently partition as cytoplasmic, integral membrane, or exported proteins. In Escherichia coli, the chaperones SecB, Trigger Factor (TF), and DnaK are key players in this process. Here, we report that, as with dnaK or dnaJ mutants, a secB null strain exhibits a ...
