Propagation of kink-antikink pair along microtubules as a control mechanism for polymerization and depolymerization processes
(Chinese Physics B, 2014)
Among many types of proteinaceous filaments, microtubules (MTs) constitute the most rigid components of the cellular cytoskeleton. Microtubule dynamics is essential for many vital cellular processes such as intracellular ...
Simulations of anomalous stimulated Raman backscattering in a bounded plasma
(Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, 1998)
Temporal pulsations, bursting and incoherence of stimulated Raman backscatter in a bounded, underdense plasma were observed in relativistic particle-in-cell simulations. We show that backscatter complexities, modulated and ...
Self-referenced luminescence thermometry with Sm3+ doped TiO2 nanoparticles
(Nanotechnology, 2014)
The performance of Sm3+ doped TiO2 nanoparticles for luminescence temperature sensing was tested over a temperature range from room to 110 degrees C. The Sm3+ ions were incorporated into TiO2 nanocrystals using hydrolytic ...
Current Experience in Testing Mitochondrial Nutrients in Disorders Featuring Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Rational Design of Chemoprevention Trials
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2014)
An extensive number of pathologies are associated with mitochondrial dysfunction (MDF) and oxidative stress (OS). Thus, mitochondrial cofactors termed mitochondrial nutrients (MN), such as alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), Coenzyme ...
Effects of novel hydroxyapatite-based 3D biomaterials on proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells
(Journal of Biomedical Materials Research. Part A, 2015)
The aim of this study was to examine the differential capacity of isolated dental pulp stem cells (SHED) cultured onto four different scaffold materials. The differential potential of isolated SHED was examined on the ...
A tailored approach to operative repair of extracranial carotid aneurysms based on anatomic types and kinks
(American Journal of Surgery, 2014)
BACKGROUND: To present outcomes following an operative approach of extracranial carotid artery aneurysm (ECAAs) based on anatomic types and associated kinks. METHODS: This study represents retrospective analysis of anatomic ...
Inhibition of Na+/K+-ATPase and cytotoxicity of a few selected gold(III) complexes
(Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 2014)
Na+/K+-ATPase is in charge of maintaining the ionic and osmotic intracellular balance by using ATP as an energy source to drive excess Na+ ions out of the cell in exchange for K+ ions. We explored whether three representative ...
Radiative heat exchange inside the pulverized lignite fired furnace for the gray radiative properties with thermal equilibrium between phases
(International Journal of Thermal Sciences, 2014)
The objective of the research was to find if an agreement of the results of a numerical investigation with experimental data could be achieved considering the two-phase medium in thermal equilibrium. Influence of the gray ...
Measurement of Th-232(n,5n gamma) cross sections from 29 MeV to 42 MeV
(European Physical Journal A. Hadrons and Nuclei, 2014)
The excitation function of the reaction (232) Th(n, 5n gamma)(228) Th from 29 to 42 MeV has been measured for the first time at the quasi-monoenergetic neutron beam of the UCL cyclotron CYCLONE employing the Li-7(p,n) ...
Search for the associated production of the Higgs boson with a top-quark pair
(Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014)
A search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a top-quark pair (t (t) over barH) is presented, using data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of up to 5.1 fb(-1) and 19.7 fb(-1) ...
