A fabric can be considered as a porous medium, its porosity size and temperature will greatly affect air/moisture permeability thermal comfort. This paper studies the effect of on capillary rise experimentally, experimental data reveal that higher results in rise, result, better is predicted. elucidates also favorable for effective washing.

AIMS The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) stimulates angiogenesis by induction of vessel permeability, proliferation, and migration of endothelial cells, an important process in ischaemic diseases. ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) nucleotide-binding site opener (ARNO) (cytohesin-2) is a guanine exchange factor important for cellular signalling through ARF GTPases. However, a role for ARNO...

It has been previously demonstrated with freeze-fracture electron microscopy that vasopressin induces specific structural alterations of the luminal membrane of granular cells from toad urinary bladder in a dose-dependent fashion. These alterations consist of aggregated intramembranous particles and are observed both in the presence and absence of an osmotic gradient. We examined the effect of ...

Cells deficient in the pro-death Bcl-2 family members Bax and Bak are known to be resistant to apoptotic cell death, and previous we have shown that these two effectors are also needed for mitochondrial-dependent cellular necrosis (Karch et al., 2013). Here we show that mouse embryonic fibroblasts deficient in Bax/Bak1 are resistant to the third major form of cell death associated with autophag...

The effect of in vivo x-irradiation on rabbit lens permeability was studied by the Rb runout method. At 24 hours following x-irradiation of the lens the rate of Rb runout was found to be increased and reached a maximum at one week. Over the subsequent 2 weeks the rate of Rb runout decreased, although still remaining above normal. The increase in lens permeability preceded the appearance of lens...
