A thymus-leukemia (TL)-specific probe, pTL1, has been generated from a TL-coding gene of BALB/c mice. Multiple species of TL mRNA were detected in TL+ cells by Northern blot analysis with pTL1, and different Tla haplotypes could be distinguished on the basis of characteristic patterns of TL mRNA. No TL-related message was found in normal or leukemic TL- cells, including thymocytes from Tlab mic...

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is one of the most commonly used materials for the coating of bioceramic titanium (Ti) alloys. However, HA has poor mechanical properties and a low bonding strength. Accordingly, the present study replaces HA with a composite coating material consisting of fluorapatite (FA) and 20 wt % yttria (3 mol %) stabilized zirconia (ZrO₂, 3Y-TZP). The FA/ZrO₂ coatings are deposited on...

Lower Ordovician sandstones of the “Grès Armoricain” formation in Montlouis quarry near Janzé (Ille-et-Vilaine, France) display rare Fe-sulfide veins filled with a low-T (<300°C) assemblage pyrite, marcasite, “melnikovite”, trace amounts galena and sphalerite. Pyrite occur as contorted cm-scale columnar pyrite invading larger idiomorphic crystals coating vugs. It is usually overgrown by fibrora...

The beginning of the Lycian text TL 45 is restored with usual topicalization direct object, but verb not appearing until line 3. content sentence does corre-spond to first Greek version. In this version, title and names archonts Hieron Apollodotos, known from contemporary trilingual Letöon inscrip-tion (N 320), are in lines 6-7. 11-12 a version theonym Trbbãmara may be restored. 45B revised and...

The Leidenfrost phenomenon entails the levitation of a liquid droplet over superheated surface, cushioned by its vapor layer. This layer can obstruct boiling heat transfer in exchangers, thereby compromising energy efficiency and safety. For water, superhydrophobic surfaces are believed to reduce point (TL)—the temperature at which this occurs. Therefore, not commonly utilized thermal machinery...
