Spatially regulated transcription of the pipe gene in ventral cells of the Drosophila ovary follicle cell epithelium is a key event that specifies progeny embryo dorsal-ventral (DV) polarity. pipe encodes ten putative protein isoforms, all of which exhibit similarity to vertebrate glycosaminoglycan-modifying enzymes. Expression of one of the isoforms, Pipe-ST2, in follicle cells has previously ...

The noise pickups and attenuations were simulated using the SPICE3 program for the detector and electronics chain of the ATLAS SCT Silicon microstrip detector module. Because of the use of the AC coupling single-sided detector, the filtering circuitry in the bias voltage supply lines should have an asymmetric setting in resistance. An effective way of reducing the pickup noise from the cooling ...

Ceramic materials show excellent esthetic behavior, along with an absence of hypersensitivity, making them a possible alternative implant material in dental surgery. However, their surface properties enable only limited osseointegration compared to titanium implants. Within this study, a novel surface coating technique for enhanced osseointegration was investigated biologically and mechanically...

Applying the modular technology of developing of the problem-oriented extensions of a CAD system to a problem of automation of creating of the axonometric piping diagrams on an example of the program system TechnoCAD GlassX is described. The features of realization of common operations, composition and realization of special operations of a designing of the schemas of the special technological ...

The teaching activity of training of the students has a decisive role in the medical activities developing a competitive future for the dental practitioner. The modern restorative dentistry is developing the natural in all aspects, integrating the substitute, the flawless into the dental somato facial equilibrium. These issues are analyzed in terms of options for aspects of classic or modern me...

Plastic piping made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and chlorinated PVC (CPVC), is being increasingly used for drinking water distribution lines. Given the formulation of the material from vinyl chloride (VC), there has been concern that the VC (a confirmed human carcinogen) can leach from the plastic piping into drinking water. PVC/CPVC pipe reactors in the laboratory and tap samples collected fr...

background : in anterior endodontically treated teeth a better esthetic can be achieved by using all-ceramic post -core restorations instead of metal post systems. maximum retention and fracture resistance of the post are the criteria upon which selection of a post system is based. the aim of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance and retention of two all-ceramic post and core syste...

A Bayesian system identification methodology is proposed for leakage detection in water pipe networks. The methodology properly handles the unavoidable uncertainties in measurement and modeling errors. Based on information from flow test data, it provides estimates of the most probable leakage events (magnitude and location of leakage) and the uncertainties in such estimates. The effectiveness ...
