Here, we report development of the galvanostatic Fourier transform electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (FTEIS), which monitors impedance of electrochemical reactions activated by current steps. We first derive relevant relations for potential change upon application of a step current, obtain impedances theoretically from the relations by simulation, and verify them with experimental results....

INTRODUCTION The relationships between monocytes and lymphocytes through MHC class II molecules and costimulatory, are of utmost importance for the production of an efficient immune response. In this work, we assessed the expression of surface molecules CD80 and CD86 on CD14+HLA-DR+ monocytes from patients with Chagas disease. METHODS: The study population consisted of 31 patients with chroni...

Winding is one of the most important components in power transformers. Ensuring health state winding great importance to stable operation system. To efficiently and accurately diagnose disc space variation (DSV) fault degree transformer winding, this paper presents a diagnostic method based on K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm frequency response analysis (FRA) method. First, laboratory model u...

Recent studies indicate a potential role for Fra-1, a heterodimeric partner of activator protein (AP)-1, in toxicant-induced epithelial injury, repair, and cellular transformation. Here we have investigated the effects of diesel exhaust particles (DEP) on fra-1 expression in C10 cells, a murine lung epithelial cell line. DEP markedly upregulated fra-1, but not fra-2, expression. The increase in...

The fragile X syndrome is a common X-linked mental retardation and autism, affecting females as well as males. The fragile site X chromosomes were studied in a series of 153 mentally retarded boys of unknown etiology to determine the frequency of fragile X syndrome, and to assess the feasibility of making a clinical diagnosis of the fragile X syndrome in young boys before cytogenetic results we...

In the present paper, the aeroelastic stability of helicopter rotor blade is determined using Aeroelastic Frequency Response Function. The conventional methods of aeroelastic stability usually use an iterative procedure while the present method does not require such approach. Aeroelastic Frequency Response Functions are obtained by inverting dynamic stiffness matrix of the aeroelastic system. S...

in the present paper, the aeroelastic stability of helicopter rotor blade is determined using aeroelastic frequency response function. the aeroelastic model of blade is obtained by combining dowell - hodges beam model with loewy unsteady aerodynamic theory which considers an unsteady wake beneath the rotor. equations are formed and aeroelastic frequency response functions are obtained by invert...

Fra-1 is frequently overexpressed in epithelial cancers and implicated in invasiveness. We previously showed that Fra-1 plays crucial roles in RAS transformation in rat thyroid cells and mouse fibroblasts. Here, we report a novel role for Fra-1 as a regulator of mitotic progression in RAS-transformed thyroid cells. Fra-1 expression and phosphorylation are regulated during the cell cycle, peakin...
