Thermal transient computation for a CTR blanket following a major plasma disruption
… of a typical controlled thermonuclear reactor (CTR). Previous studies assumed a neutron wall loading of 1 ~ 5 MW/m², and usually an infinite slab for a blanket region in calculating the transient thermal behavior following a major plasma disruption (MPD). Besides, neutrons with a kinetic energy …

Applying phenotypic phage selection to Chlamydia trachomatis infection
*Chlamydia trachomatis* (*Ctr*) is an obligate intracellular pathogen that causes the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection worldwide and is the agent of trachoma, an ocular infection that is the leading cause of preventable blindness. *Ctr* has a biphasic lifecycle dependent on an …

The growth and characterisation of ordered arrays of zinc oxide nanostructures and optical studies of defects in zinc oxide
… (CBD), carbothermal vapour phase transport (CTR-VPT) and a hybrid CBD / CTR-VPT method. The best optical quality nanorods were obtained by the hybrid CBD / CTR-VPT method. This hybrid method was extended further and a method was developed to deposit hexagonally close packed positioned c-axis …

Evaluation of radiolabelled hynic-salmon calcitonin analogues as imaging agents for multiple myeloma and characterisation of novel hynic derivatives as chelators for technetium
… C-cells of the thyroids. Calcitonin receptors (CTR) are expressed by osteoclasts in the normal bone and in many cancers such as multiple myeloma (MM), breast and prostate cancer. In this thesis we report on the synthesis and evaluation of Tc-99m labelled salmon calcitonin (sCT) derivatives, …

Sites of interaction between calcitonin-family peptides and their receptors
… receptor (CLR) or calcitonin receptor (CTR) and receptor activity-modifying protein (RAMP) complexes. RAMP1 with CLR constitutes the CGRP receptor whereas RAMP2 or 3 with CLR generates the AM receptors. Amylin receptors are formed from CTR interactions with RAMPs. The association of …

Crop tree release impacts both the understory and overstory in mixed oak stands of the southern Appalachian Mountains
Crop tree release (CTR) is an intermediate silvicultural treatment that can be used by woodland owners to achieve multiple management goals. Our study addresses a knowledge gap regarding the understory response to CTR in the Appalachian Mountains of southwest Virginia. An increase in understory …

Effect of rumen-protected methionine on placenta metabolism, animal performance, and immune-metabolism of dairy cows during the periparturient and early lactation periods
… treatment. Compared with placenta from Male CTR, Male MET placenta had greater concentrations of end products of the TCA cycle and transsulfuration pathway, and MTR activity. No differences in global DNA methylation or mRNA expression of the DNA methyltransferases were observed between Male …

Aggressive Behavioral Phenotype in Intrauterine Growth Restricted (IUGR) Baboons Exposed to Moderate Nutrient Restriction Early in Development
… mothers fed 70% the same feed eaten by control (CTR) mothers in pregnancy and lactation. CTR males (n = 8) and CTR females (n = 5) were offspring of mothers fed ad libitum. Some authorities recommend this moderate level of dietary restriction for health and longevity. Offspring have not …

Interface Structure Studies of Copper Thin Films on C-Plane Sapphire by Crystal Truncation Rod Analysis Using Synchrotron X-Ray
… at $600\sp\circ$C before deposition. The CTR from a clean sapphire substrate without Cu coverage and $\rm C\sb6\sb0/\alpha$-$\rm Al\sb2O\sb3$ were measured as a reference. The measured data were fitted to the theoretical equation of diffracted crystal truncation rod intensity profile based …

An Experimental Determination of the Effect of Cyclic Stress on Void Growth in Ultra-High-Purity Aluminum During Simultaneous 800 Mev Proton Irradiation
… controlled thermonuclear fusion reactors (CTR). Walter Green and Johannes Weertman (G & W) had predicted that edge dislocations, set into oscillatory motion by an applied cyclic stress, would "sweep up" excess radiation produced vacancies that would otherwise produce void growth.

Insight into G Protein-Coupled Receptors through Molecular Dynamics Simulations
… acid receptor 1 (FFAR1) and calcitonin receptor (CTR), respectively belonging to class A and class B of GPCRs. The results highlight that allosterism is a crucial event for the activation mechanism whether exerted by a molecule (such as AP8 for FFAR1) or by an accessory protein (such as RAMP for …
