ERC/mesothelin is highly expressed in malignant mesothelioma, pancreatic cancer, and ovarian cancer. It is cleaved to a 30 kDa N-terminal secretory form (N-ERC) and a 40 kDa C-terminal membranous form (C-ERC). Several functions have been reported for full-length ERC (full-ERC) and C-ERC/mesothelin, such as in cell adhesion and invasion, stimulation of cell proliferation, and the suppression of ...

PURPOSE To develop and evaluate a sterilizable multichannel endorectal coil (ERC) for use in combination with an external surface array (ESA) for high-resolution anatomical and functional studies of the prostate at 7T. MATERIALS AND METHODS A two-loop ERC (ERC-2L) and a microstrip-loop ERC (ERC-ML) were compared at 7T in terms of transmit and receive performance. The best-performing ERC was e...

This paper studies the pressure variation that exists on converging mixing section wall of a supersonic ejector for refrigeration application. The objective is to show one-dimensional model can be improved by considering this wall’s which typically assumed constant. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations were used obtain aforementioned wall. Four different ejectors simulated. An was obt...

Dual fuel engines with LNG as have become a feasible solution for ship power units in the current situation, but their efficiency needs to be further enhanced meet increasingly stringent emission requirements. This paper designs dual-loop system, including supercritical CO2 cycle and thermally driven ejector refrigeration cycle, recovering exhaust gas charge air heat of marine dual engine. The ...

This paper proposes a new combined multi-cooling and power generation system (CMCP) driven by solar energy. Carbon dioxide is used as refrigerant. A parabolic trough collector (PTC) employed to collect radiation convert it into thermal The includes supercritical CO2 for production an ejector refrigeration with two ejectors provide cooling at different evaporating temperatures. CMCP simulated ho...

ERC/mesothelin gene (MSLN) encodes a precursor protein, which is cleaved by proteases to generate N-ERC/mesothelin and C-ERC/mesothelin. N-ERC/mesothelin is a soluble protein, also known as megakaryocyte-potentiating factor, which is released into extracellular space. N-ERC/mesothelin is known to be a serum marker of mesothelioma. We have previously developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assa...

In this paper the supersonic ejectors are experimentally and analytically studied. Ejector is a device that uses the energy of a fluid to move another fluid. This device works like a vacuum pump without usage of piston, rotor or any other moving component. An ejector contains an active nozzle, a passive nozzle, a mixing chamber and a diffuser. Since the fluid viscosity is large, and the flow is...
