Golgi-mediated transport to the lytic vacuole involves passage through the prevacuolar compartment (PVC), but little is known about how vacuolar proteins exit the PVC. We show that this last step is inhibited by overexpression of Arabidopsis thaliana syntaxin PEP12/SYP21, causing an accumulation of soluble and membrane cargo and the plant vacuolar sorting receptor BP80 in the PVC. Anterograde t...

In this paper, we describe the prototyping of two musical interfaces that use the LeapMotion camera in conjunction with two di↵erent touch surfaces: a Wacom tablet and a transparent PVC sheet. In the Wacom use case, the camera is between the hand and the surface. In the PVC use case, the camera is under the transparent sheet and tracks the hand through it. The aim of this research is to explore...

Thermooxidative degradation of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is inevitable during processing of PVC. Recycling of this polymer requires reprocessing in most of the cases, and due to the low thermal stability of PVC, it is of paramount importance to reveal the effect of thermooxidation on the thermal stability of this commercially important polymer. However, detailed systematic investigations are l...

Hydrogen is an explosive gas, which could create extremely hazardous conditions when released into enclosure. Full-scale experiments of hydrogen release and dispersion in the confined space were conducted. The performed for outflow 63 × 10−3 m3/s through a single nozzle multi-point way optionally. It was found that enclosure strongly depends on gas way. Significantly higher stratification obser...

This research verified the applicability and effectiveness of the ultrasonic monitoring of sediments stuck on the inner wall of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes. For identifying the transmittance of acoustic energy and the speed of sound in the PVC material, the pulse-echo ultrasonic testing was conducted for PVC sheets of different thicknesses. To simulate the solidified sediment, the hot melt a...

This paper presents an approach to the suppression of the emission of dioxin and its precursors as a result of the co-incineration of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) with TiO2-encapsulating polystyrene (TEPS), in which TiO2 nanoparticles with the capacity to adsorb dioxin and its precursors are encapsulated without significant agglomeration. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and ...

Surface envelopes are tight, two-sided enclosures of composite spline surfaces. This paper shows how to construct the two hulls of the enclosure so that matched triangle pairs sandwich a given nonlinear, curved surface consisting of tensor-product Bézier patches. The main cost of the hull computation are 12 transversal line-plane intersections per vertex. The width of the enclosure, i,e. the di...
