The interaction of the heat shock factor (HSF) with the heat shock element (HSE) was determined by a non-radioactive electrophoretic mobility shift assay, in order to analyze HSF regulation in Neurospora crassa. HSF binds to HSE under normal, non-stress conditions and is thus constitutively trimerized. Upon heat shock, the HSF-HSE complex shows a retarded mobility. This was also observed in Sac...

Traditional rhytidectomy techniques, such as the cutaneous lift, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system lift, the deep plane lift and the subperiosteal lift, are mostly differentiated by their different planes of dissection. As well, many of these techniques consider the complete mobilization of tissues a prerequisite for obtaining a satisfactory result.However, is it true that the result of...

We demonstrate a modulation of thermoelectric power factor via a radial dopant inhomogeneity in B-doped Si nanowires. These nanowires grown via vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) method were naturally composed of a heavily doped outer shell layer and a lightly doped inner core. The thermopower measurements for a single nanowire demonstrated that the power factor values were higher than those of homogeneo...

For the characterization of n-channel 4H-SiC MOSFETs, current-voltage and Hall-effect measurements were carried out at room temperature. To interpret the Hall-effect measurements, the Hall factor for the electron transport in the channel of SiC MOSFETs was evaluated, for the first time. The method of the Hall factor calculation is based on the interdependence with mobility components via the re...

The mobility of entrepreneurs, which is an integral part of human life, can occur in all aspects of occupation and location. Finding out the general trends of mobility in entrepreneurship can be used in the effective motivational activities. As Sylhet is a remittance and raw materials rich but industrially backward area, the mobility of entrepreneurship in both aspects in this area is to be ana...

the effect of compost and humic acid in mobility and concentration of cadmium and chromium in contaminated soil were investigated. experiment was carried out with three levels of soil cadmium and chromium and two organic matters (compost and humic acid). the study was performed in a randomized complete block design with 3 replicates. results indicated that application of organic substances enha...

the phenomenological model of khossravi and connors (1992) has been adopted to calculate the electrophoretic mobility of drugs at different concentrations of solvents in a binary mixture. the accuracy and predictability of the model have been evaluated employing 14 experimental data sets by using average percentage mean deviation (apmd). the obtained apmd for correlative and predictive studies ...

Thermoelectric conversion is an energy harvesting technology that directly converts waste heat from various sources into electricity by the Seebeck effect of thermoelectric materials with a large thermopower (S), high electrical conductivity (σ), and low thermal conductivity (κ). State-of-the-art nanostructuring techniques that significantly reduce κ have realized high-performance thermoelectri...
