The concept of embodied cognition attracts enormous interest but neither is the concept particularly well-defined nor is the related research guided by systematic theorizing. To improve this situation the theory of event coding (TEC) is suggested as a suitable theoretical framework for theorizing about cognitive embodiment-which, however, presupposes giving up the anti-cognitivistic attitude in...

Accurately predicting total electron content (TEC) during geomagnetic storms is still a challenging task for ionospheric models. In this work, neural-network (NN)-based model proposed which predicts relative TEC with respect to the preceding 27-day median TEC, storm time European region (with longitudes 30°W–50°E and latitudes 32.5°N–70°N). The (referred as TEC), latitude, longitude, universal ...

Determination of the physical mechanisms energy transfer tropospheric disturbances to ionosphere is one fundamental problems atmospheric physics. This article presents results observations carried out using two-wavelength lidar sensing at altitudes and satellite GPS measurements during a meteorological storm in Kaliningrad (Russia, 54.7° N, 20.5° E) on 1 April 2016. During sensing, it was found...

This paper explores the application of thermoelectric cooler/heater (TEC) modules (Peltier heat pumps devices) to control core and winding temperatures, aiming reduce effects thermal cycling moisture issues that affect life electrical machines. Electrical windings in a motor will fail for variety reasons, major contributor adverse motor’s is humidity. Due cycling, air containing drawn into thro...

The Jun family and the signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) are involved in proliferation and apoptosis. Moreover, c-Jun and STAT3 cooperate to regulate apoptosis. Therefore, we used double immunostaining to investigate the immunotopographical distribution of phospho-c-Jun (p-c-Jun), JunB, JunD, p-STAT3, p-STAT5, and p-STAT6 in human thymus. JunD was frequently expressed by...

Fas, a cell surface receptor, can induce apoptosis after cross-linking with its ligand. We report that Fas antigen is constitutively expressed in medullary epithelial cells of the human thymus. Expression is decreased in cultured thymic epithelial cells (TEC), similarly to HLA-DR antigen. TEC are resistant to anti-Fas-induced apoptosis after 4 days of primary culture, and this resistance is rev...

A tissue-engineered construct (TEC) has previously been used for treating bone defects due to its strong osteogenic capability. However, transplantation of a TEC involves an open surgery that can cause infection. To overcome the potential risk of infection after TEC transplantation, we designed a system for the controlled release of antibiotics using fibrin gel-coated vancomycin alginate beads ...
