BACKGROUND:Translationally Controlled Tumor Protein (TCTP) found in nasal lavage fluids of allergic patients was named IgE-dependent histamine-releasing factor (HRF).Human recombinant HRF (HrHRF) has been recently reported to be much less effective than HRF produced from activated mononuclear cells (HRFmn).METHODS AND FINDINGS:We found that only NH
Electrokinetic phenomena are believed to be the most likely origin of electromagnetic signals preceding or accompanying earthquakes.The intensity of the source current due Film Development to the electrokinetic phenomena is determined by the fluid flux and the electrokinetic coupling coefficient called streaming current coefficient; therefore, how
Background.Probiotics are known as immunostimulants as well as growth and survival promoters in fish, but despite the plethora of studies on the effect of probiotics on the fish non-specific immune responses, very few information is available for ornemental fish.Thus, this study was carried out to investigate the effects of short-term dietary admin
This paper focuses on the power dissipation of a plasma torch used for an optical surface fabrication process.The process utilizes an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) torch that is equipped Microwaves with a De-Laval nozzle for the delivery of a highly collimated plasma jet.The plasma torch makes use of a self-igniting coil and an intermediate co-a
