Purpose: Critical bending moment (CBM), the moment at which the external nonaxial load applied overcomes screw joint preload and causes loss of contact between the mating surfaces of the implant screw joint components, was measured with 2 types of implants and 2 types of abutments. Materials and Methods: Using 4 test groups of 5 implant-abutment pairs, CBM at the implant-abutment screw joint wa...

Background: Tumor associated neutrophils (TAN) are related to aggressiveness and a poor prognosis with human cancers. However, the relevance of TAN in breast cancer has not been previously investigated and here we sought to determine their presence among different subtypes. Methods: We analyzed patients with stage I-III breast cancers between 2006 and 2012. Tumors were divided into three subtyp...

Two new indolocarbazole alkaloids, TAN-999 and TAN-1030A, were isolated from culture broths of Nocardiopsis dassonvillei C-71425 and Streptomyces sp. C-71799, respectively. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of their reactions, spectroscopic analyses and in particular, comparison of spectral data with that of staurosporine. These metabolites induced spreading of a murine macrophage c...

The term ‘learning organisation’ is now a common feature of museum management discourse and, by implication, raises the issue of how a museum itself learns about approaches to ‘learning’. As ‘learning in museums’ becomes a major focus for many museums, clearly formulated and institutionally supported ideas about ‘learning’ should be an essential part of our role in interpreting natural and cult...

Fractures of the tibia and femoral diaphysis are commonly repaired by intra-medullary (IM) nailing. Currently IM nails are available in either electropolished stainless steel (SS) or in Titanium-Aluminium-Niobium (TAN). After healing, removal of the nails still is common but removal of TAN IM nails often has complications whereas SS IM nails of the same design are less often associated with pro...

We investigate the competing effects of interlayer exchange coupling and magnetostatic coupling in the magnetic heterostructure ([Co/Pt]/NiO/[Co/Pt]) with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). This particular heterostructure is unique among coupled materials with PMA in directly exhibiting both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic coupling, oscillating between the two as a function of spacer ...

The interlayer breathing and shear modes in few-layer black phosphorus are investigated for their symmetry and lattice dynamical properties. The symmetry groups for the even-layer and odd-layer few-layer black phosphorus are utilized to determine the irreducible representation and the infrared and Raman activity for the interlayer modes. The valence force field model is applied to calculate the...

Neutron reflectivity studies of EuS/SrS, EuS/PbSe and EuS/PbTe all-semiconductor superlattices were carried out in a search for exchange interlayer coupling. A relatively weak antiferromagnetic coupling was found in EuS/SrS and EuS/PbSe systems but no interlayer coupling was detected in EuS/PbTe superlattices. In EuS/SrS, where the SrS spacer is an insulator (E(g)≈4 eV), a very weak and short r...

TANGLED (TAN) is the founding member of a family of plant-specific proteins required for correct orientation of the division plane. Arabidopsis thaliana TAN is localized before prophase until the end of cytokinesis at the cortical division site (CDS), where it appears to help guide the cytokinetic apparatus towards the cortex. We show that TAN is actively recruited to the CDS by distinct mechan...
