In vivo time-lapse multiphoton microscopy was used to analyze the remodeling of the dendritic arborizing (da) sensory neuron known as dorsal dendritic arborizing neuron E (ddaE) during metamorphosis. After its larval processes have been removed, the cell body of ddaE repositions itself on the body wall between 25 and 40 hr after puparium formation (APF) and begins its adult outgrowth at 40 hr A...

Approximately 680 million people are at risk of infection with Opisthorchis viverrini (OV) and Clonorchis sinensis, with an estimated 10 million infected with OV in Southeast Asia alone. While opisthorchiasis is associated with hepatobiliary pathologies, such as advanced periductal fibrosis (APF) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), animal models of OV infection show that immune-complex glomerulonephr...

Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of Er:YAG laser irradiation on caries-like lesions in a simulated caries model. Materials and Methods: Twenty extracted human noncarious molar teeth were selected. The teeth were covered with nail varnish, leaving two windows (approximately 4mm×2mm) on both the buccal and lingual surfaces at the middle third of the crown. The w...

Soy peroxidase enzyme obtained from isoelectic precipitation procedures was added to all-purpose flour (APF) to assess its effects on the rheological properties and consumer acceptability of yeast bread. A pH 4.8 isoelectrically precipitated fraction from soybeans was used because it produced the most precipitate and had about the same peroxidase activity as the other fractions. Gluten strength...

Abscission was studied in immature apple fruits (cv. Golden Delicious) during the physiological drop. Fruitlet populations, characterized by different abscission potential, were analysed. Non-abscising fruitlets (NAF) were obtained from central flowers borne in clusters where all the lateral flowers had been removed at bloom while abscising fruitlets (AF) were derived from lateral fruitlets of ...

The increasing demand for high-rating power supply in the distribution system causes conventional inverter topology, six step voltage source (SSVSI) unsuitable being applied as active filter (APF). Multilevel (MLI) is generally best suitable APF, but not all types of MLI can be used high-voltage applications. Among MLIs cascaded H-bridge (CHB) choice since it produce output more than twice amou...

The industrial use of additive manufacturing continues to rapidly increase as new technology developments become available. Arburg plastic freeforming (APF) process is designed utilize standard polymeric granules in order print parts with properties similar those molded parts. Despite the emerging importance APF, current body knowledge regarding this still very limited, especially field biodegr...

The Borderline Current Mode (BCM) Active Power Factor Controller (APFC) developed in this study applies a capacitor to emulate the inductor of the power stage and hence the capacitor voltage replicates continuously the inductor current. By this, the instantaneous current of the inductor is available to the controller circuitry without actually measuring it at any given instance. The emulating n...
