A family of accessory beta subunits significantly contributes to the functional diversity of large-conductance, Ca(2+)- and voltage-dependent potassium (BK) channels in native cells. Here we describe the functional properties of one variant of the beta subunit family, which confers properties on BK channels totally unlike any that have as yet been observed. Coexpression of this subunit (termed ...

Though the transitive closure of a reflexive and symmetric fuzzy relation R is unique and there are several algorithms to calculate it, there can be many transitive openings (maximal T -indistinguishability operators among the ones smaller than or equal to R). This paper presents a method to calculate transitive openings of a reflexive and symmetric fuzzy relation R. It is worth noticing that a...

in this paper, front engine accessory drive (fead) system of automotive engine is modeled with adams software. the model is validated using engine test data. it is then used to investigate the effect of design parameters on the system performance such as belt vibration and loads on the idlers. three alternative layouts were developed in order to improve the performance of original eead system. ...

INTRODUCTION The accessory nipple (AN) is characterised by its network-like structures, which may suggest the diagnosis of a melanocytic lesion. The knowledge about additional dermoscopic features of AN may greatly minimise the risk of unnecessary surgical excisions. AIM To analyse and present different clinical and dermoscopic forms, in which the AN may appear. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety ...

human peripheral blood monocytes have been found to undergo a transitory state of high accessory activity before they fully become macrophages. time kinetics were done to follow this accessory potential. studying the regulation of accessory activity, we have found that monocyte derived accessory cells (m-ac) pass through two phases of development, both of which are adversely controlled by cycli...

Castellated beams are generally provided with hexagonal and circular openings in the web portion. However, in view of structural applications, appropriate size and shape of openings in web are always a major issue of concern. Research work carried out in optimizing sizes of castellated beam with hexagonal openings have reported that castellated beams fail mainly by local failure modes and stres...
