Thermoelectric (TE) devices have short service lives. These materials undergo thermal degradation at elevated temperatures by processes such as oxidation or sublimation. Our substrates were skutterudite-based TE materials. We covered their surfaces with a liquid high-temperature polymer (HTP)—crosslinked after the deposition, what converted those into solid coatings. Sintering was performed 250...

Competitiveness of high-technology products (HTP) is more significant on the world market than medium and low quality. Increase in innovation performance should lead to growth high technology application production consequently rising exports HTP as an important factor increasing competitiveness. In this paper we wanted analyze correlations conditionality (share total country exports) selected ...

High concentrations of the neurotransmitter serotonin can be found in inflamed and ischemic peripheral tissues, but the role of serotonin in immunoregulation is largely unknown. Here we report that serotonin protected human natural-killer (NK) cells from oxidatively induced inhibition inflicted by autologous monocytes in vitro. Serotonin protected NK cells from monocyte-mediated apoptosis and s...

A new sensitive sensor was fabricated for simultaneous determination of codeine and acetaminophen based on 4-hydroxy-2-(triphenylphosphonio)phenolate (HTP) and multiwall carbon nanotubes paste electrode at trace levels. The sensitivity of codeine determination was deeply affected by spiking multiwall carbon nanotubes and a modifier in carbon paste. Electron transfer coefficient, α, catalytic el...

A series of reactive binaphthyl-diimine-based dopants is prepared and investigated with respect to their potential for the chiral induction structural coloration in nematic liquid crystal mixture E7 selective photonic sensing nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Studies helical twisting power (HTP) 4-cyano-4′-pentylbiphenyl (5CB) reveal HTP values as high 375 µm-1 tremendous impact compatibility changes dih...

Microarray technologies inspired the development of carbohydrate arrays. Initially, carbohydrate array technology was hindered by the complex structures of glycans and their structural variability. The first designs of glycoarrays focused on the HTP (high throughput) study of protein-glycan binding events, and subsequently more in-depth kinetic analysis of carbohydrate-protein interactions. How...

The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of BIBO 3304 in the Vogel's conflict drinking test and in the water intake test in non-deprived rats after injection of the drug into the basolateral nucleus of the amygdaloid complex. BIBO 3304 was given at the doses of 25, 100 and 200 pmol/0.5 microl/site. We investigated also the effect of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), given intraperitone...

The effects of feeding of 6-propylthiouracil (6-PTU) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) independently and in combination and administration (ip) of a single dose of triiodothyronine (T3) (2.5 microg/100 g body wt) along with feeding of 6-PTU and PUFA were studied in rat brain. Dopamine (DA), 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), serotonin (5-HT), 5-hydroxy indole acetic acid (5-HIAA), norepinephrine...

Le tryptophane (Trp) et ses métabolites modulent la réponse inflammatoire sont des marqueurs indirects de dysbiose intestinale. Nous avons souhaité étudier leur rôle potentiel dans l’arthrose digitale (AD). À partir 418 patients atteints d’AD cohorte DIGICOD, 16 sériques du Trp appartenant aux 3 voies Kynurénine-IDO, l’indole ou sérotonine ont été quantifiés par chromatographie liquide à haute ...
