Increasing and improving the science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) educational pipeline has been a point of emphasis for decades, federal policy in United States urged high schools to embed new types STEM courses into curriculum. As one example, applied courses—one growing branch within career technical education (CTE)—are designed reinforce traditional academic content motivate ...

Abstract Lightweight composite materials for potential thermal applications are the contemporary demand manufacturing and aircraft industries where possibility to improve tailor desired properties is based on application. Carbonized eggshell powder a solid lubricant with absorbent capability has proven as reinforcement metallic base composites. In present work, an attempt made investigate effec...

P pilus biogenesis occurs via the highly conserved chaperone-usher pathway, and assembly is monitored by the CpxRA two-component signal transduction pathway. Structural pilus subunits consist of an N-terminal extension followed by an incomplete immunoglobulin-like fold that is missing a C-terminal seventh beta strand. In the pilus fiber, the immunoglobulin-like fold of each pilin is completed b...

ZrW 2 O 8 is known as a negative coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) material. In contrast, the studies other properties than CTE , such conductivity and mechanical properties, are limited. Herein, highly dense bulk sample (%T.D. > 95%) from very fine powder (D50 0.3 μm) with crystalline size 31 nm using spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique synthesized. It revealed that exhibits lowest ...

Long-chain acyl-CoA thioesterases catalyze the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs to the corresponding free fatty acid and CoA. We recently cloned four members of a novel multi-gene family of peroxisome proliferator-induced genes encoding cytosolic (CTE-I), mitochondrial (MTE-I), and peroxisomal (PTE-Ia and PTE-Ib) acyl-CoA thioesterases (Hunt et al. 1999. J. Biol. Chem. 274: 34317-34326). As the peroxiso...

Congenital tufting enteropathy (CTE) is a life-threatening hereditary disease that is characterized by enteric mucosa tufting degeneration and early onset, severe diarrhea. Loss-of-function mutations of the human EPCAM gene (TROP1, TACSTD1) have been indicated as the cause of CTE. However, loss of mTrop1/Epcam in mice appeared to lead to death in utero, due to placental malformation. This and i...

This paper reviews the development of new high-temperature polymeric materials applicable to plastic substrates in image display devices with a focus on our previous results. Novel solution-processable colorless polyimides (PIs) with ultra-low linear coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) are proposed in this paper. First, the principles of the coloration of PI films are briefly discussed, inc...

The -level Conditional Tail Expectation (CTE) of a continuous random variable X is defined as its conditional expectation given the event {X q }, where q represents its -level quantile. It is well known that the empirical CTE (the average of the n(1 ) largest order statistics in a sample of size n) is a negatively biased estimator of the CTE. This bias vanishes as the sample size increases but ...
