Effects of three-dimensional culture conditions on skeletal muscle myoblasts
… aggregates in the Rotary Cell Culture System (RCCS). At the time intervals tested, RCCS cultured cells maintained viability and did not exhibit increased apoptosis markers such as Caspase 3 (activated) and phosphatydylserine. In contrast, increases in cell death and apoptotic markers were noted …

1D and 3D simulation of a water cooled reactor cavity cooling system experimental facility
… including the reactor cavity cooling system (RCCS). This system is intended to remove decay heat from the reactor cavity. Designs exist for both air-cooled and water-cooled configurations. It operates completely passively and is designed to operate without external inputs. The accurate …

Investigating the Role of Hippo/Warts Signaling in Sarcomatoid Renal Cell Carcinoma
Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are the most common kidney malignancy and one of the most common cancers overall. Sarcomatoid RCC (sRCC) is a particularly aggressive subtype of RCC which displays a high rate of metastasis and poor prognosis, contributing to a disproportionately high clinical burden. …

An approach to the evaluation of recovery community organizations
… offered within Recovery Community Centers (RCCs). To address this gap, a series of evaluations have been proposed. These evaluations include a process evaluation that was initially developed for the Iowa Recovery Community Center Project under the Iowa Department of Health and Human …

Deterministic casualty analysis of the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor for use with risk-based safety regulation
… a rupture in the Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS). This casualty is shown to have little effect on the safety of the plant. The second casualty was failure of the RCCS due to operator inaction. If this casualty were to occur the reactor vessel has the possibility of failing catastrophically. …

Radiation Shielding Design and Radioactive Waste Assessment of Horizontal Compact High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor
… building and Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS) tanks. It was found that for locations of the reactor building where the dose rates during normal operation were greater than the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) limit of 0.1 rem/hr, 175 cm of borated concrete is required. The shielding …

Stimulating the Malaysian Rural Community Centres through the rural digital economy under the Smart Village Enablement Program
… was done to select 13 Rural Community Centres(RCCs)for the studies to accurately represent the total of 191 RCCs under the ministry of rural development purview nationwide.The data collected was through semi-structured interviews with the selected 13 RCCs’managers. The findings strongly support …

Examining Relational Communication: Exploring the Minister/Sick Person Relationship
… design. The relational control coding scheme (RCCS) was operationalized for the quantitative method. Focus groups along with an interview and an observation were used for the qualitative method. Data analysis indicated that ministers and sick laity use more neutral symmetry (one across, …

Hypoxia regulated pathways in urological malignancies
… are constitutively expressed in many clear-cell RCCs due to loss of pVHL tumour<br/>suppressor function within the tumour. In vitro, HIF-1 and HIF-2 regulate a differential set of<br/>target genes, although their expression in primary ccRCC clinical samples and their effects on<br/>patient …

Effet d'une petite molécule sur les transporteurs d'acides aminés pour cibler les tumeurs déficientes en VHL par l'autophagie
… des carcinomes rénaux à cellules claires (ccRCCs) sont caractérisés par une inactivation du gène de supression tumoral von Hippel-Lindau (VHL). Dans la poursuite de nouvelles thérapies ciblées, des études antérieures ont permis d'identifier une petite molécule, le STF-62247, qui est …

Probabilistic accident analysis of the Pebble Bed modular Reactor for use with risk informed regulation
… as water-based Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS) is critical for the plant safety. The role and importance of the PBMR safety features is investigated by evaluating the risks from the most important external event: earthquake with a subsequent loss of offsite power.

Vicarious resilience among employees and volunteers at a rape crisis center
… assault trauma workers at rape crisis centers (RCCs). The primary goal of the study was to explore the predictive nature of intrapersonal and interpersonal and organizational factors for vicarious resilience among trauma workers at a RCC. A targeted cross-sectional research approach was used to …

Effects of Perceived Costs and Rewards on Motivation and Retention of Rape Crisis Center Volunteers
… to volunteer at the RCC and (b) volunteers at RCCs continue to volunteer because the perceived costs of volunteering do not exceed the perceived rewards of volunteering. Using a modified version of Black's (1989) questionnaire, respondents were asked to report on several aspects of their …

Lipid Signaling Under Microgravity Conditions
… means of the NASA’s Rotary Cell Culture System (RCCS). Then, in these cells we characterized gene and protein expression of the main components of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and of the sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) system, both essential for intestinal homeostasis, and we assessed …

Enhancing electricity auction mechanism with FACTS devices
… used to update the reduced cost coefficients (RCCs) in the main problem. The simplex pivot maybe changed after this updating. Thus, the global optimality of the power auction problem with the consideration of contingency can be gotten using this algorithm.

Intracellular calcium mobilization in cardiomyocytes of rats with experimental diabetes
… reduced. Insulin treatment reversed depressed RCCs and caffeine-induced [Ca2li transients, and also reversed the diabetes-induced depression of peak -d[Ca21i/dt values which presumably are indications of depressed function of Na-Ca exchange. Two binding sites for ryanodine were found in cardiac …

Biochemistry in healthy and neoplastic human tissues: metabolic alteration revealed by HR-MAS nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
… of renal neoplastic pathologies, especially for RCCs, which can be evaluated by in vivo MRS for clinical purposes. Moreover, these data help to gain a better knowledge of the molecular processes envolved in the onset of renal carcinogenesis.
