The article focuses on the formation of a design and environmental liability unit, an initiative led by Axis Insurance vice-president Richard Zarandona, to provide coverage for engineers, architects and other firms as initiated by Axis Capital Holdings Ltd. in the U.S.EBSCO_bspReactions...
The earliest forms of such skeletal models were called “medial models”. The most common form of medial model was due to Blum[4]. The Blummedial axisconsists of a skeleton which is a doubling (two-sided, folded version) of the locus of spheres bitangent to the object boundary and interio...
Previously we reported that prior to recruitment of TSPAN4, integrin α5 forms foci on retraction fibers which define the sites for migrasome formation. Next, we examined the dynamics of PLCγ-PH-TagBFP compared to that of integrin α5. We found that the recruitment of PLCγ-PH-TagBFP was...
4a). As the blade climbs upwind, a leading-edge vortex forms, increases the leading edge suction, and allows for a peak in power production around θ = 80°. When the vortex separates from the blade before the end of the upwind phase, the blade forces and the power coefficient ...
| Show Table DownLoad: CSV 6. Discussion 6.1 Trace metal speciation in pyrite Numerous studies have shown that the trace elements found in pyrite mainly occur in three forms: as the substitution of Fe in the pyrite crystal lattice, as micro- to nanoparticle-sized sulfides, and as micro-...
5d), indicating that PTBP3 was the direct target of miR-1303. Furthermore, the mRNA and protein levels of PTBP3 were reduced by miR-1303 overexpression (Fig. 5e) or lncRNA BCRT1 knockdown (Fig. 5f). In the rescue experiments, overexpression of miR-1303 could partly counteract the ...
The inflammasome forms a platform to activate the cysteine protease caspase-1, which triggers the proteolytic processing of cytokines, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-18, and induces pyroptosis, a form of cell death (Sharma and Kanneganti, 2016). Inflammasome-forming receptors are cytosolic ...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) are the two most common forms of chronic immune-mediated inflammatory arthritis, and the IL-23–IL-17 axis is thought to have a critical role in both. This Review discusses the basic mechanisms of these cytokines in RA and SpA on the ...
