The turgor loss point (TLP), which is considered a threshold for many physiological processes, may be useful in plant-breeding programs or for the selection of reforestation species. Obtaining TLP through the standard pressure-volume (p-v) curve method in a large set of species is highly time-consuming and somewhat subjective. To solve this problem, we present an objective and a less time-consu...

The authors investigated whether thoracic lymphatic pumping (TLP) after FluShield vaccination enhanced the production of anti-influenza immunoglobulins in elderly individuals, who are at particular risk for influenza. Osteopathic students and non-TLP-treated elderly subjects served as controls. Serum antibody titers were quantified with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and hemagglutination in...

From the first analysis of immunoprecipitation followed by Western Blotting (WB) Corin and Tumor Liberated Protein (TLP) seem to precipitate at the same height ( approximately 50KDa) and are recognized by the same antibodies. In parallel the tests of immunoprecipitation by the use of cell extracts derived from lung cancer cells A549 and NCI-H23 are improved with the aim to be able of obtaining ...

Current research in processor technology and computer architecture is motivated primarily by the need for greater performance. In this context, it is well understood that the performance gain from improving the memory system alone is limited, and using system Level Integration (such as supporting graphics/sound on chip) can only lead to marginal performance benefits. The most significant gain c...

Among compliant platforms, the tension leg platform (TLP) is a hybrid structure. With respect to the horizontal degrees of freedom, it is compliant and behaves like to a floating structure, whereas with respect to the vertical degrees of freedom, it is stiff and resembles a fixed structure and is not allowed to float freely. The greatest potential for reducing costs of a TLP in the short term i...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In a model of mechanical focal ischemia, we investigated the involvement of thrombolysis products (TLP) in recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA)-induced intracerebral complications and the effects on infarct volume and postischemic endothelial function. METHODS Hemorrhage incidence and severity were evaluated by histomorphometric analysis in male spontaneously...

[1] A dataset of tropical cyclone landfall numbers in the Philippines (TLP) is created from a combination of historical observation records of the Monthly Bulletins of Philippine Weather Bureau and Joint Warning Typhoon Center best-track data for the period of 1902 to 2005. Interdecadal variability of TLP is found to be related to different phases of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and ...

BACKGROUND Triage liaison physicians (TLPs) have been employed in overcrowded emergency departments (EDs); however, their effectiveness remains unclear. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the implementation of TLP shifts at an academic tertiary care adult ED using comprehensive outcome reporting. METHODS A six-week TLP clinical research project was conducted between December 9, 2005, and February 9, 20...

We have isolated mutations defining a new gene, tlp-1, that affect asymmetric cell fates and morphogenesis during the development of the C. elegans tail. tlp-1 mutations cause defects in the specification of asymmetric cell fates in the descendants of the T blast cell, whose polarity is controlled by Wnt signaling and cause abnormal male tail development leading to the formation of a posterior ...
