Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a polymodal excitatory ion channel found in sensory neurons of different organisms, ranging from worms to humans. Since its discovery as an uncharacterized transmembrane protein in human fibroblasts, TRPA1 has become one of the most intensively studied ion channels. Its function has been linked to regulation of heat and cold perception, mechanos...

with the increasing installed capacity of desalination, the greenhouse gas emission for generating the required energy to power the desalination plants is also becoming the focus of attention in the world community. domestic reverse osmosis membranes have been very successful technology especially in the developing world to provide safe drinking water. the novel concept of photovoltaic powered ...

HE concept of canalisation as a system by which potential variation is channelled during development into a fairly uniform phenotype was put forward by WADDINGTON (1942). The term canalisation will here be used to mean a developmental buffering system by which potential variability is reduced and a relatively invariant phenotype is produced. If the canalisation system is upset by environmental ...

The advent of topological semi-metals with peculiar band structure and exotic quantum-transport provides novel pathways for upgrading the performance terahertz (THz) detection. HgTe is among such a candidate unique advantages negative bandgap, ultra-high mobility, thermoelectricity, which ignites possibility addressing technical bottlenecks traditional routes THz Herein, first time, we report l...
