Successful completion of the Plasmodium lifecycle in the mosquito vector is critical for malaria transmission. It has been documented that the fate of Plasmodium in the mosquito ultimately depends on a fine interplay of molecular mosquito factors that act as parasite agonists and antagonists. Here we investigate whether the cellular responses of the invaded midgut epithelium can also determine ...

Laser-assisted flow-visualization experiments and tracer gas concentration tests were conducted for the wall-mounted and jet-isolated range hoods to examine the physical mechanisms and relative magnitudes of hood spillages. The effects of a mannequin standing in front of the test rig and walk-by motions (which are situations always encountered in kitchens) were emphasized. The results showed th...

Clive Hood, a technician in the Physiological Laboratory, Cambridge, was interviewed in April 1995 by Dr E. M. Tansey and Dr Ann Silver, the interview being transcribed and edited by Tansey. Starting his career with the first Lord Adrian FRS, Clive also worked with Professor William Rushton FRS and Professor Fergus Campbell FRS. This is an edited extract of that interview, the recording of whic...

Although the incidence of pneumoconiosis has been decreasing in Japan, welders’ health hazards due to welding fume inhalation are still serious, because effective engineering methods for controlling fumes are technically difficult to implement in many welding shops. In the 6th notification of general prevention of dust hazards issued by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (2003–2...

Custer and Hood soybean cultivars were inoculated with nine levels of Criconemoides simile ranging from 300 to 20,600 nematodes per plant. Rate of reproduction decreased as inoculum level was increased beyond 900-2,000 nematodes. Final population density was influenced by both composition and level of inoculum. There was an indication that substance(s). inhibitory to larvae, accumnlated in soil...

Active hood lift system has been developed to get more spaces for decreasing the head injury during pedestrian impact. This system is composed of detecting sensor, ECU where the algorithm is embedded and the pyro-type actuators which raise the hood. By this system, the rear part of the hood is raised up to approximately 120mm. The test results of system operation are introduced for each three t...

S. Gil, J. Góral, J. Ochman, M. Saternus Department of Metallurgy, Silesian University of Technology, Katowice, Poland A gasodynamic study of a model of hood space was performed based on measurements of velocity and concentration distributions of gases. The experiments have shown that the absolute values of gas velocities in the hood and the outlet channel as well as their profi les do not depe...

HRT-HOOD has methodological strengths that deserve to be preserved in the face of the commercial decline of HOOD technology. The UML meta-model, on the other hand, has a level of flexibility that makes it an especially attractive platform to express the specific real-time design minded features of the HRT-HOOD method. The objectoriented connotation of the method that results from mapping HRT-HO...
