Results are presented from probe measurements at the outboard midplane scrapeoff layer region of TCV current scan experiments. It is shown that with decreasing plasma current, or increasing magnetic connection length, the radial particle density profile becomes broader and the fluctuation levels and turbulence driven radial transport increases. In the far scrape-off layer the fluctuations exhib...

Background Recently, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor was shown to have a beneficial effect on virusinduced myocardial injury. We investigated the effect of a new angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist, (+)-1-(cyclohexyloxycarbonyloxy)ethyl 2-ethoxy-1-{[2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl}-1H-benzimidazole-7-carboxylate (TCV-116), in an animal model of viral myocarditis induc...

A multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay was developed for the simultaneous detection of two enteric viruses of poultry: turkey enteric coronavirus (TCV) and turkey astrovirus (TAstV). PCR primers were designed to conserved regions within the nucleocapsid gene of TCV and to the polymerase gene of TAstV-2. The primer pairs were successfully used in a multiplex R...

Vaccination of mice with activated autoantigen-reactive CD41 T cells (T cell vaccination, TCV) has been shown to induce protection from the subsequent induction of a variety of experimental autoimmune diseases, including experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE). Although the mechanisms involved in TCV-mediated protection are not completely known, there is some evidence that TCV induces CD8...

Knowledge of the impurity transport parameters and their relation with those of the main plasma particles is important for predicting the fusion performance of a tokamak reactor and provides an element for validating advanced transport models currently under development. The radial profiles of fully ionized carbon C (transition n=8-7, 529.1 nm) released from TCV (R = 0.88 m, a<0.25m, BT<1.5 T) ...

We have previously reported that TIP, an Arabidopsis protein, interacts with the coat protein (CP) of Turnip crinkle virus (TCV) in yeast cells and that this interaction correlated with the resistance response in the TCV-resistant Arabidopsis ecotype Dijon-17. TIP was also able to activate transcription of reporter genes in yeast cells, suggesting that it is likely a transcription factor. We ha...

The pathophysiological role of angiotensin II in the development of renal sclerosis was investigated in 5/6-nephrectomized, 12-week-old male spontaneously hypertensive rats. After 1 week of a control period, nephrectomized rats received one of the following treatments for 4 weeks: the selective nonpeptide angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist TCV-116 (1 mg/kg per day), the angiotensin conve...

Poult enteritis complex (PEC) is an economically important disease of young turkeys characterized by diarrhea, poor weight gain, and, in some cases, high mortality. Although PEC is considered to be a polymicrobial disease, numerous viruses, including turkey coronavirus (TCV), turkey astrovirus type 2 (TAstV-2), and avian reoviruses (ARVs), have been associated with PEC-like disease. Real-time r...

karyotypes of eleven iranian populations of trigonella foenum-graceum were investigated. somatic chromosome numbers of examined populations were determined as 2n = 14. chromosomal parameters were examined as follows: long arm length (tl), short arm, total chromosome length, arm ratio, r-value, form percentage of chromosome, total form percentage of karyotype. chromosomes were mostly metacentric...
