With the large increase in available computational resources, large-eddy simulation (LES) of industrial configurations has become an efficient and tractable alternative to traditional multiphase turbulence models. Many applications involve a liquid or solid disperse phase carried by a gas phase (e.g., fuel injection in automotive or aeronautical engines, fluidized beds, and alumina particles in...

In this paper, we analytically investigate the coupling of light from liquid-core waveguides to conventional solid-core waveguides and a series of other optical properties of liquid waveguides in order to gauge the practicality of such a system for use in microfluidically reconfigurable photonic systems. A finite element model of the system was constructed and relevant properties such as mode f...

We present neutron scattering measurements of the dynamic structure factor, S(Q, ω), of amorphous solid helium confined in 47 Å pore diameter MCM-41 at pressure 48.6 bar. At low temperature, T = 0.05 K, we observe S(Q, ω) of the confined quantum amorphous solid plus the bulk polycrystalline solid between the MCM-41 powder grains. No liquid-like phonon-roton modes, other sharply defined modes at...

93 Abstract Temperature is one of the most important factors affecting the state and behavior of materials. In situ heating transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a powerful tool for understanding such temperature effects, and recently in situ heating TEM has made significant progress in terms of temperature available and resolution attained. This article briefly describes newly developed sp...

PURPOSE The goal of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathological and imaging features of thyroid nodules surgically diagnosed as hyaline trabecular tumor (HTT), and to assess the role of cytology and frozen sections (FS) in the diagnosis of HTT. METHODS This study included 21 thyroid nodules in 21 patients treated from August 2005 to March 2015 (mean age, 53.3 years) who were either dia...

The V600E mutation of the B-type Raf kinase (BRAF) gene is a common event in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and seems to play a key role in the development and progression of this disease. We evaluated the expression of the mutated BRAF V600E protein in 144 cases of PTC using a novel mutation-specific antibody. Seventy-six PTCs (52.8%) showed unequivocal diffuse cytoplasmic expression of the...

BACKGROUND Galectin-3 is a member of the beta-galactoside-binding protein family and functions as a modulator of cell growth through galactoside-binding protein correlated with the occurrence and metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). METHODS A systematic review of published articles on Web of Science and PubMed was performed. After establishing inclusion and exclusion criteria, nin...

Aberrant mRNAs with premature translation termination codons (PTCs) are recognized and eliminated by the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway in eukaryotes. We employed a novel live-cell imaging approach to investigate the kinetics of mRNA synthesis and release at the transcription site of PTC-containing (PTC+) and PTC-free (PTC-) immunoglobulin-μ reporter genes. Fluorescence recovery aft...

ABSTRACT: The paper contains the results of the study of cavitation dispersing in “liquid-solid” system. It is known that cavitation dispersing is one of energy effective methods of “liquid-solid” interface area increasing. For evaluation of cavitation dispersing modes providing maximum interface area the model of the process was developed. The model is based on simulation of bubble collapse ne...

Background & Objective: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is considered to be the most common type of thyroid malignancies. Epigenetic alteration, in which the chromatin conformation and gene expression change without changing the sequence of DNA, can occur in some tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes. Methylation is the most common type of epigenetic alterations that can be an ex...
