RationaleMyoendothelial junctions (MEJs) within the fenestrae of the Janod internal elastic lamina (IEL) are critical sites that allow for endothelial cell (EC) - vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) contact and communication.Vascular Notch signaling is a critical determinant of normal vasculogenesis and remodeling, and it regulates cell phenotype vi
Habitat Characteristics Coincidence of Dead and Living Long-Tailed Gorals (Naemorhedus caudatus) According to Extreme Snowfall
The long-tailed goral (Naemorhedus caudatus) is a critically endangered herbivore in South Korea.Despite government Micro Switches efforts to recover the population through reintroduction programs, the animal remains vulnerable to heavy snowfall.From March to June 2010, 24 animals were found dead due to heavy snowfall in the Wangpi Stream basin.In
Geomagnetic field effects on the performance of 8-inch dynode photomultiplier tubes
Two different systems have been built to study the geomagnetic field effect on the performance of large area photomultiplier tubes.The main Gas Cylinder Adaptor characteristics of photomultiplier tubes such as gain, collection efficiency, transition time spread and energy resolution were measured to investigate the effect.This study shows that both
A population physiologically based kinetic and toxicodynamic model for acute diazinon exposure
Organophosphate (OP) pesticide residues are frequently found in the environment and food products, with their acute exposures to humans posing a risk of neurotoxicity through acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition.The aim of the present study is to develop a New Approach Methodology (a population-based physiologically based kinetic and toxicodynami
Performance improvement of solar distiller using hang wick, reflectors and phase change materials enriched with nano-additives
The role of using nano-based thermal storage material filled into trapezoidal hang wick in a pyramid solar distiller is under study.The study underwent three stages of examination; after the material preparation.First, the pyramid distiller had a trapezoidal hang wick with pure phase change material (PCM) inside the cavity of the hang wick structur
