A time of flight sensor has been equipped with a sensing wire parallel to the flow direction (flow parallel wire, FPW). A heat pulse is generated with a coil in the flow channel. The FPW has a center tap allowing its upstream and downstream parts to join in a half bridge. When a heat pulse passes the FPW, a large output peak is generated. The time between heat pulse generation and recording the...

  Objective: Considering the use of triple antibiotic paste (TAP) for root canal treatment of open apex teeth, this study aimed to assess the effect of TAP and calcium hydroxide (CH) on bond strength of composite to dentin.   Methods: This in-vitro study was conducted on 32 extracted human premolar teeth. After disinfection with 2% thymol solution, the enamel on the buccal surface of specimens ...

Human TAP is an orthologue of the yeast mRNA export factor Mex67p. In mammalian cells, TAP has a preferential intranuclear localization, but can also be detected at the nuclear pores and shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. TAP directly associates with mRNA in vivo, as it can be UV-crosslinked to poly(A)+ RNA in HeLa cells. Both the FG-repeat domain of nucleoporin CAN/Nup214 and a no...

Previously, we detected, by monoclonal antibody, three Moloney murine sarcoma virus (Mo-MSV)-activated intracellular transformation-associated proteins (TAP), (P66, P63, and P60) in several Mo-MSV-transformed rat cell lines (Chan et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 134: 1223-1230, 1986) and found the release of TAP into the extracellular medium with a change from three intracellular polypep...

The Tree Augmentation Problem (TAP) is: given a tree T = (V, E) and a set E of edges (called links) on V disjoint to E , find a minimum size edge subset F ⊆ E so that T +F is 2-edge-connected. TAP is equivalent to the problem of finding a minimum size edge-cover F ⊆ E of a laminar set-family. We consider the restriction LL-TAP of TAP to instances when every link in E connects two leaves of T . ...

BACKGROUND Leuprorelin acetate, a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist, is used worldwide in premenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. This study was conducted to assess the non-inferiority of the 6-month depot formulation, TAP-144-SR (6M) 22.5 mg to the 3-month depot formulation, TAP-144-SR (3M) 11.25 mg in postoperative, premenopausal patients with hormone rec...

BACKGROUND The development of acute pancreatitis (AP) is associated with intracellular events in pancreatic cells, as well as with early and late inflammatory responses; however, their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated trypsinogen activation peptide (TAP)-induced release of high mobility group box-l (HMGB1) from pancreatic acinar cells and how ethyl pyruvate (EP) aff...

1. This study investigated the pharmacokinetics of thiamphenicol glycinate (TG) and thiamphenicol (TAP) in beagles (n = 6) after intravenous administration of 50 mg/kg TG hydrochloride. Plasma concentrations of TG and TAP were measured by a HPLC-UV method. 2. Two-compartment model was selected to describe the pharmacokinetic characteristics of TG and TAP in vivo. Main parameters were as follows...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent membrane protein (LMP)2 is a multiple membrane spanning molecule which lacks ectodomains projecting into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Human CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL)s recognize a number of epitopes within LMP2. Assays with epitope-specific CTLs in two different cell backgrounds lacking the transporter associated with antigen processing ...

Tandem affinity purification (TAP) has been widely used for the analysis of protein complexes. We investigated the parameters of the recently developed TAP method (GS-TAP) and its application in Drosophila. This new tag combination includes two Protein G modules and a streptavidin binding peptide (SBP), separated by one or two TEV protease cleavage sites. We made pMK33-based GS-TAP vectors to a...
