In the present work, we have examined the ability of some different equations of state in predicting the Joule-Thomson coefficient, ?J-T, of different fluids. For dense fluids, for which density is greater than the Boyle density, ?B, two appropriate equations of state, namely the linear isotherm regularity, LIR, and the dense system equation of state, DSEOS, have been examined. The results show...

Adults of the nudibranch mollusc Tritonia diomedea crawl using mucociliary locomotion. Crawling is controlled in part by the large Pedal 5 (Pd5) and Pedal 6 (Pd6) neurons that produce Tritonia Pedal peptides (TPeps). TPeps elicit an increase in ciliary beat frequency, thereby increasing crawling speed. In adults of T. diomedea, an extensive network of TPep-containing neurites adjacent to the ba...

BACKGROUND Many vertebrates distinguish between short and long day lengths using suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN). In birds particular, the mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH) is suggested to be involved in the timing of seasonal reproduction. This study investigated the response of SCN and MBH to a single long day, and the role of MBH in induction of the migratory phenotype in night-migratory blackheade...

We had formerly demonstrated that subjects chronically infected with Trypanosoma cruzi show impaired T cell responses closely linked with a process of T cell exhaustion. Recently, the expression of several inhibitory receptors has been associated with T cell dysfunction and exhaustion. In this study, we have examined the expression of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and the leukoc...

BH3-only proteins integrate apoptosis and autophagy pathways, yet regulation and functional consequences of pathway cross-talk are not fully resolved. The BH3-only protein Bnip3 is an autophagy receptor that signals autophagic degradation of mitochondria (mitophagy) via interaction of its LC3-interacting region (LIR) with Atg8 proteins. Here we report that phosphorylation of serine residues 17 ...

Background. Management of clinical malaria requires the development of reliable diagnostic methods and efficient biomarkers for follow-up of patients. Protection is partly based on IgG responses to parasite antigens exposed at the surface of infected erythrocytes (iRBCs). These IgG responses appeared low during clinical infection, particularly in severe disease. Methods. We analyzed the IgG bin...

In the formalism of generalized holographic dark energy, infrared cut-off LIR is to form, LIR=LIR(Lp,L˙p,L¨p,⋯,Lf,L˙f,L¨f,⋯,a,H,H˙,H¨,⋯), where Lp and Lf are particle horizon future horizon, respectively (moreover, a scale factor H Hubble parameter universe). Based on such formalism, we establish realization constant roll inflation during early universe, corresponding depends its derivatives (u...

The figures of merit luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) thermometry for Er3+ in 40 different crystals and glasses have been calculated compared. For calculations, the relevant data has collected from literature while missing were derived available absorption emission spectra. parameters include Judd–Ofelt parameters, refractive indexes, Slater integrals, spin–orbit coupling reduced matrix eleme...

We study the midto far-IR properties of a 24 μm-selected flux-limited sample (S 24 > 5 mJy) of 154 intermediate redshift (〈z〉 ∼ 0.15), infrared luminous galaxies, drawn from the 5 Milli-Jansky Unbiased Spitzer Extragalactic Survey. By combining existing mid-IR spectroscopy and new Herschel SPIRE submm photometry from the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey, we derived robust total infrar...
