A subpopulation of the CD3+ peripheral T lymphocytes express the TCR-gamma/delta complex. Three distinct TCR-gamma forms that differ in size and in the ability to form a disulfide bridge with the TCR-delta subunit have been described. In this study we analyze the structural difference between the non-disulfide-linked 55-kD and 40-kD TCR-gamma chains. The 40-kD TCR-gamma form contains a smaller ...

This research work provides a flexible communication medium for robot information propagation. This connector has the capability to make full duplex robot to robot communication or robot to central controller via wires (USB, Wire Internet) or wireless (Wireless Internet – Bluetooth-zigbee ). This programmable multi-standard connector designed and tested using arduino with communication shields ...

Tracheal stenosis or tracheal injury is a distressing condition. The silicone tracheal T-tube presents a substitute for stent of this complicated disease. We have come across a case of tracheal perforation in which tracheoplasty was planned. After traceoplasty silicone tracheal T-tube was placed as a stent. We were not able to connect silicone tracheal T-tube with Bain circuit with ET TUBE No. ...

Using Brownian dynamics, we simulate the fracture of polymer interfaces reinforced by diblock connector chains. We consider the mushroom regime, where connector chains are grafted with low surface density, for the case of large pulling velocities. We find that for short chains the interface fracture toughness depends linearly on the degree of polymerization N of the connector chains, while for ...

This study examines the relationship between shear force and horizontal relative displacement of Lshape shear connector by means of beam type test method. An equation for maximum shear force of the specimen which takes into account the effects of size of the shear connector and the concrete strength was proposed. It was found that shear force-horizontal relative displacement relationship can be...

Inter-module connectors are one of the key components of self-reconfiguring robot modules. Connectors provide the autonomous attaching and detaching that make selfreconfiguration possible. Robust connector design must consider the uncertainty in module positioning that is inherent to any physically realized system. We are interested in connectors that use mechanical self-alignment to tolerate t...

Connectors are used in component-based systems as first-class entities to abstract component interactions. In this paper, we propose a way to compose connectors by using fine-grained elements, each of them representing a single, well-defined function. We identify an experimentally proven set of connector elements, which, composed together, model four basic component interconnection types (proce...

The steel frame-reinforced concrete core tube structural system is widely used in mid-rise and high-rise buildings due to its good seismic behaviour high construction efficiency. Since the frame reinforced are supposed deform synergistically under earthquake action, beam-concrete wall joint (SBCW for short) will be subjected a significant pull-out force. Therefore, pulling resistant capacity of...
