Ion flux maps and helicon source efficiency in the VASIMR VX-100 experiment using a moving Langmuir probe array
… (Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket) VX-100 experiment. The probe array was swung through an argon plasma revealing a detailed 2-dimensional cross section. Neutral input flow and probe collector bias voltage were scanned from pulse to pulse in an effort to find optimal settings. …

An investigation into the efficacy of kinematics and kinetics method for stride-characteristic measurements of horses trotting on a treadmill
… position (pZ), craniocaudal velocity (vX) and dorsoventral velocity (vZ). Contra-laterally coupled limbs were compared at beginning and end of stance according to vX. A Girth Marker (GM) placed over the sternum was used to identify beginning and end of stance of each diagonal using …

LIPID-BASED APPROACHES TO OPTIMIZE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INNOVATIVE DRUG MODULATORS IN CYSTIC FIBROSIS
… combination Kaftrio (comprising two correctors, VX-661, VX-445, and a potentiator, VX-770) as a pharmacological intervention for CF patients who have at least one F508del mutation in the CFTR gene. In my PhD project, I explored the impact of Kaftrio on the lipid composition of bronchial …

Syntactic variation in Afrikaans : an empirical study
… is changing to resemble an English frame (VX structure) because of language contact (cf, inter alia, Conradie, 2004; Donaldson, 1991). Two syntactic variables are studied to investigate variation in word order and verb placement: firstly, changes from XV to VX in subordinate clauses are …

Enzyme and Directed Evolution Technologies For Nerve Agent Neutralisation
… DFP, Dimefox, Tabun, Sarin, Cyclosarin, Soman, VX, and Russian-VX . These chemical surrogates have a similar structure but do not share the same physico-chemical properties as the nerve agents themselves. The directed evolution platform developed and used consisted of two parts. First, partially …

Mechanisms of Innate Immune Dysfunction During Mycobacterium tuberculosis and HIV Co-infection
… therapy, the selective caspase-1 inhibitor, VX-765, was used. VX-765 treatment diminished caspase-1 enzyme activity within human macrophage cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. Although VX-765 was effective in vitro, only mild and non-significant effects on disease progression during in …

Large scale simulation and analysis to understand enzymatic chemical mechanisms
… as evidenced by differential hydrolysis rates of VX and Paraoxon in the enzyme PTE. Over 4M CPU hours of thermodynamic integration simulations were performed to obtain free energy profiles, as a function of up to 6 dimensions, along a reaction path determined through a combination of knowledge …

Untersuchungen zur schnellen Freigabe von HI-6 Dichlorid und HI-6 Dimethansulfonat aus verschiedenen Autoinjektorsystemen. Neue Aspekte des Stabilitätsverhaltens dieser Salze und ihrer ungepufferten, konzentrierten Lösungen.
… in cases of life-threatening poisoning by sarin, VX or cyclosarin. About 1.0 mmol of such a bispyridinium salt concomitantly given with 2 mg atropine is sufficient for first aid. Because of its instability in water, combinations of dry HI-6 powder with atropinesulfate solutions are available in …

Advanced engineered substrates for the integration of lattice-mismatched materials with silicon
… use of relaxed, graded SiGe buffers on Si (i.e. Vx[Si1-xGex]/Si). Several new phenomena in relaxed graded SiGe buffers are developed in this thesis. A rise in threading dislocation density was observed in high-Ge content relaxed graded SiGe layers grown at relatively high temperatures, which was …

SMARCA4/BRG1-Inactivating Mutations as Potential Predictive Markers for Aurora Kinase A-Targeted Therapy in NSCLCs
… our findings identify AURKA inhibition with VX-680 as a candidate therapeutic strategy for biomarker-driven clinical studies to treat the NSCLCs harboring SMARCA4/BRG1 inactivation mutations, which account for approximately 35% of all NSCLC cases. Furthermore, these observations suggest a …

Texaphyrin Architectures for Biomedical Applications
… for this contrast agent. Evaluations on a VX-2 head and neck tumour bearing rabbit for sentinel lymph node (SNL) mapping suggest Mn-nanotexaphyrin may serve as a contrast agent in lymphoscintigraphy procedures. Finally, the photophysical properties of texaphyrins were analyzed by creating a …

Preliminary Design of an Asteroid Hopping Mission
… supply options were investigated. The VASIMR VX-200 requires 200 kilowatts of power to maintain thrust. This creates the need for a substantial power supply that consists of either a nuclear reactor of massive solar arrays.</p> <p>STK 9.1's Design Explorer Optimizer was able to create a …
