Hair cells of the organ of Corti (OC) of the cochlea exhibit distinct planar polarity, both at the tissue and cellular level. Planar polarity at tissue level is manifested as uniform orientation of the hair cell stereociliary bundles. Hair cell intrinsic polarity is defined as structural hair bundle asymmetry; positioning of the kinocilium/basal body complex at the vertex of the V-shaped bundle...

Auditory hair cells represent one of the most prominent examples of epithelial planar polarity. In the auditory sensory epithelium, planar polarity of individual hair cells is defined by their V-shaped hair bundle, the mechanotransduction organelle located on the apical surface. At the tissue level, all hair cells display uniform planar polarity across the epithelium. Although it is known that ...

A quasi-integrated high-temperature device composed of a solar cell and planar solid oxide electrolyzer for the generation H2 syngas was computationally evaluated. We assess feasibility provide design guidelines improved performance.

introduction: the limited resolution of the imaging system causes partial volume effects (pves). these results in spreading of image counts to the neighboring pixels. this phenomenon is called spill-out effect. this study aimed at quantifying pves using imagej. methods:technetium-99m solution of concentration of 74 kbq/ml was filled into spheres a, b and c of diameters: 26 mm, 20 mm and 16 mm r...

let $r$ be a commutative ring with identity‎. ‎we use‎ ‎$varphi (r)$ to denote the comaximal ideal graph‎. ‎the vertices‎ ‎of $varphi (r)$ are proper ideals of r which are not contained‎ ‎in the jacobson radical of $r$‎, ‎and two vertices $i$ and $j$ are‎ ‎adjacent if and only if $i‎ + ‎j = r$‎. ‎in this paper we show some‎ ‎properties of this graph together with planarity of line graph‎ ‎assoc...
