We have previously demonstrated that tumor cells release membranous structures into their extracellular environment, which are termed exosomes, microvesicles or extracellular vesicles depending on specific characteristics, including size, composition and biogenesis pathway. These cell-derived vesicles can exhibit an array of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids derived from the originating tumor....

1 I n t r o d u c t i o n In food industry, we can find many manipulative operations that deal with deformable rheologic materials such as dough, paste, jelly, and meat. Most these operations are done by humans. Especially, operations with large deformation of rheologic objects depend upon humans. For example, forming of pizza dough to a thin circular shape is performed by humans while extensio...

This paper describes the ROLLENT system submitted to the Eight International Planning Competition, Learning Track. ROLLENT combines two machine learning techniques: generation of entanglements and decision tree learning by ROLLER. Entanglements capture causal relationships for a class of problems while ROLLER learns relational decision trees useful to sort the applicable operators at a given st...

Mechanistic pavement design procedures based on elastic layer theory require characterization of all pavement layer materials including subgrade soil. This paper discusses the subgrade stiffness obtained from a new compaction device called the Intelligent Compaction (IC) roller on highway embankment projects in Kansas. Three test sections on two routes were compacted using a single, smooth stee...

This paper is concerned with optimization of process parameters for a roller leveller that is an indispensable equipment to eliminate the undesirable curvature of a thin-walled aluminum pipe. Optimization of process parameters has been carried out for a multistaggered-type 14-roller leveller. A finite element model of a multi-staggered 14-roller leveller was constructed for analysis whose resul...

[Purpose] This study aims to examined the effect of the self-myofascial release induced with a foam roller on the reduction of stress by measuring the serum concentration of cortisol. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects of this study were healthy females in their 20s. They were divided into the experimental and control groups. Both groups, each consisting of 12 subjects, were directed to walk f...

and Implications The aim of this study was to test if further grinding of corn DDGS is advantageous in terms of apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of DM, GE, nitrogen (N), and NDF in growing and finishing pigs. It was also tested to determine if ATTD was different between hammermill and roller mill grinding methods. There were 3 diets. Each diet consisted of 51% corn ground at 500 micron...

This paper concerns the tension control of roll-to-roll systems. In such systems, each driven roller speed is controlled separatly. The impact of the master roller position on tension control performances is studied using optimized web tension control synthesis. The tension disturbance rejection property and the system robustness regarding web elasticity variations are analysed for each configu...

Burnishing is cold working process where hard roller are being pressed against irregular surface, so that surface finish and the micro hardness increases. In this study internal roller burnishing tool is used to burnish the drilled hole. Speed, feed, and number of passes have been varied using taguchi method to examine the surface finish and microhardness. Anova analysis is carried out. Surface...
