Non-thermal plasma (NTP) has nonspecific antibacterial effects, and can be applied as an effective tool for the treatment of chronic wounds and other skin pathologies. In this study we analysed the effect of NTP on the healing of the full-thickness acute skin wound model in rats. We utilised a single jet NTP system generating atmospheric pressure air plasma, with ion volume density 5 · 1017 m-3...

Unlike for other abilities, children do not receive systematic spatial orientation training at school, even though navigational training during adulthood improves spatial skills. We investigated whether navigational training programme (NTP) improved spatial orientation skills in pre-schoolers. We administered 12-week NTP to seventeen 4- to 5-year-old children (training group, TG). The TG childr...

Recently, many possible roles of non-thermal plasma (NTP) has been reported, representing the plasma as a novel tool in the field of dermatology. Unlike other light-based devices, multi-functional elements within the plasma including UVs, ions, reactive oxygen species drives many biological effect of the plasma, such as blood coagulation stimulation, anti-cancer activity and powerful killing ef...

The UAW believes that NTP should explore additional options for testing of chemicals beyond inclusion on this test list, and for funding this testing while using NTP protocols. In particularly, the UAW urges NTP to explore with EPA the use of authority under the Toxic Substances Control Act to promulgate test rules to compel producers of chemicals to provide funding for bioassays. In addition, ...

This study combines self-prepared NaTi2(PO4)3 (NTP) with commercial vapor-grown carbon fiber (VGCF) using a solid state calcination, then coats it to synthesize the composite anode material NaTi2(PO4)3/VGCF@C (NTP/VGCF@C). The microstructure and electrochemical properties of were analyzed analysis testing equipment. Single phase NTP shows nanoparticles polyhedral structure, there is good contac...

In this work, we propose a novel robot learning framework called Neural Task Programming (NTP), which bridges the idea of few-shot learning from demonstration and neural program induction. NTP takes as input a task specification (e.g., video demonstration of a task) and recursively decomposes it into finer sub-task specifications. These specifications are fed to a hierarchical neural program, w...

The nucleotide triphosphate (NTP)-driven translocation hypothesis posits that NTP substrates bind to templated DNA sites prior to translocation into the active site. By using millisecond phase kinetics, we demonstrate this prediction in three different ways. First, we show that, in the presence of the translocation blocker alpha-amanitin, NTPs (but not deoxynucleotide triphosphate [dNTPs]) temp...

The grassland ecosystem in the Northern-Tibet Plateau (NTP) of China is verysensitive to weather and climate conditions of the region. In this study, we investigate thespatial and temporal variations of the grassland ecosystem in the NTP using theNOAA/AVHRR ten-day maximum NDVI composite data of 1981-2001. The relationshipsamong Vegetation Peak-Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (VP-NDVI) a...
