Efficiency at maximum power (EMP) is a very important specification for heat engine to evaluate the capacity of outputting adequate with high efficiency. It has been proved theoretically that limit EMP thermoelectric can be achieved hypothetical boxcar-shaped electron transmission, which realized here by resonant tunneling in one-dimensional symmetric InP/InSe superlattice. found transfer matri...

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a factor essential for erythroid cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. The production of EPO by the kidneys in response to hypoxia and anemia is well documented. To determine whether EPO is also produced by hematopoietic cells, we analyzed the expression of EPO in normal human hematopoietic progenitors and in their progeny. Undifferentiated CD34(+)lin- hemat...

Solitary extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMPs) are nonepithelial neoplasms of plasma cell origin categorized among non-Hodgkin lymphomas, without the bone marrow involvement and systemic spread seen in multiple myeloma. They are uncommon tumors comprising 3% of all plasma cell neoplasias. Although they usually occur in the upper respiratory tract, only 1 case of EMP localized to the frontal sinus...

Microparticles are small vesicles playing a crucial role in cell communication by promoting prothrombotic and proinflammatory responses. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their release are still elusive. We previously established that thrombin promoted the generation of endothelial microparticles (EMPs). In the present study, gene profiling identified TRAIL/Apo2L, a cytokine belongin...

Gene duplication creates evolutionary novelties by using older tools in new ways. We have identified evidence that the genes for enamel matrix proteins (EMPs), milk caseins, and salivary proteins comprise a family descended from a common ancestor by tandem gene duplication. These genes remain linked, except for one EMP gene, amelogenin. These genes show common structural features and are expres...

Cosmological simulations of Population III star formation suggest an initial mass function (IMF) biased toward very massive stars (M & 100 M⊙) formed in minihalos at redshift z & 20, when the cooling is driven by molecular hydrogen. However, this result conflicts with observations of extremely-metal poor (EMP) stars in the Milky Way halo, whose r-process elemental abundances appear to be incomp...

Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is an uncommon tumor of the plasma cells, and EMP of the cricoid cartilage is extremely rare The present study reports the rare case of a 43-year-old male complaining of hoarseness and dyspnea for over a year. Computed tomography imaging of the neck revealed an occupying lesion in the cricoid cartilage, and a diagnosis of EMP was subsequently confirmed by histo...

The present experiment tests the hypothesis that rapid rises and falls of electric and magnetic fields would adversely affect vital ionic and electrochemical processes at the molecular level in biological systems. Rodents were exposed to 10 pulses from the AFRRI electromagnetic pulse (EMP) simulator which provides five pulses per second with a peak electric field intensity of 447 kV/m, a 5-nsec...

A you can see from our new cover page, Europa Medicophysica (EMP) is gradually changing. When it was founded in 1964, the journal received its Latin name, while the subtitle in French, English, and Italian was “The European Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation” (Figure 1) to define it as the Official Journal of the European Federation of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (EFPMR).1...

Energy metabolism in RBCs is characterized by O2-responsive variations in flux through the Embden Meyerhof pathway (EMP) or the hexose monophosphate pathway (HMP). Therefore, the generation of ATP, NADH, and 2,3-DPG (EMP) or NADPH (HMP) shift with RBC O2 content because of competition between deoxyhemoglobin and key EMP enzymes for binding to the cytoplasmic domain of the Band 3 membrane protei...
