Expression of inflammasome-related molecules from U87MG cells cocultured with Naegleria fowleri in the non-contact system
… cocultured with N. fowleri trophozoites in a non-contact system, U87MG cells were cultured with TRAIL, LPS and amoebic trohozoites for 30, 60 and 180 mins, respectively. By Western blotting and ELISA analysis, amounts of IL-1β and NLRP3 protein from U87MG cells cocultured with N. fowleri …

Biokompatibilitätsuntersuchungen an Originaldialysatoren in einem In-vitro-Dialyse-Rezirkulationsmodell unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Faktor XIIa-C1-Inhibitor, einem Marker für die Aktivierung des Kontaktphasensystems
… activation and complement activation.The contact system is generally believed to be the main trigger of the coagulation cascade during extracorporeal circulation. However, the extent of contact activation, its role for intradialytic thrombin generation as well as the influence of different …

Studies on formation and stabilization of pathological thrombi in vivo
… platelet integrins, activation receptors and the contact system of blood coagulation in such pathological conditions was investigated in mice.

A method for infrared temperature measurements of thin film materials with a low, unknown, and/or variable emissivity at low temperatures
Accurate non-contact temperature measurements of objects using thermal radiation is often limited by low emission of IR radiation because of low temperatures and/or emissivities, or by the unknown or changing emissivity of the material being measured. This thesis covers an effort to build a …

"A syndrome so characteristic" Molecular and clinical studies of Fusobacterium necrophorum and Lemierre's syndrome
… on bacterial interaction with coagulation. The contact system initiates the intrinsic pathway of coagulation and the release of the pro-inflammatory peptide bradykinin. We found that the contact system was activated at the surface of F. necrophorum, which may contribute the pathogenesis of …

Inflammation, kinins, and kinin receptors
… responses for their own purposes. The contact system, which is studied in the present thesis, is part of this inflammatory network and it has been shown that its systemic activation contributes to an exacerbation in many disease areas. Bradykinin (BK) belongs to the group of vasoactive …

Computational Study of the Effect of Interparticle Contact in Conductive Properties of Random Particulate Systems
… conductivity of random particulate material system is computationally investigated using the Monte Carlo scheme and finite element method. A cubic system consisting of randomly-dispersed, equal-sized, deformable ellipsoids are modeled in this study. The steady-state conduction analysis along …

The effect of flyash on the removal of soluble phosphate from solution
… of soluble phosphate removal in a flyash contact system. The investigation consisted of experiments involving batch adsorption studies and continuous flow studies. Removal kinetics and relationships between contact time, “t” , and flyash concentration, “D<sub>f</sub>”, were evaluated using …

Inflammasome activation in THP-1 target cells triggered by pathogenic Naegleria fowleri
… with N. fowleri trophozoites under the non-contact system, and consequently IL-1β production was estimated. By western blotting and ELISA analysis, the caspase-1 activation and IL-1β production from THP-1 cells and the culture supernatant were observed 3 hr after co-cultivation. In addition, …

Infrared measurements of surface temperatures during oscillating/fretting contact with ceramics
… generated by friction during osculating/fretting contact were measured using an infrared microscope coupled to a digital data acquisition system developed at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The contact geometry consisted of a stationary test specimen loaded against a vibrating …

Host response in sepsis
Sepsis is a serious condition characterized by a systemic inflammatory response to an infection. Increased vascular leakage, vasodilation and heart failure cause circulatory disturbances challenging the intensivist. Despite modern medication and high technology supportive care, mortality is high. …

A New Role for Beta-Amyloid in Alzheimer's Disease: Initiation of Thrombotic and Inflammatory Processes Via Coagulation Factor XII and Fibrinogen
… play a key role in AD onset and progression. The contact activation system, initiated by activation of the plasma protein FXII, is capable of launching both thrombotic and inflammatory pathways. I investigated whether Aβ could directly induce these pathways by interacting with FXII in vitro, in AD …

Electrifying the streets : the surface-contact controversy in five English towns 1880-1920
… five towns in England opted for the surface-contact system. Of these, Wolverhampton and Hastings are the main focus for this research because they occupy opposite ends of the social and political spectrum. Lincoln, Torquay, and Mexborough, where surface-contact traction survived for some …

Non-contact Methods for Detecting Hot-mix Asphalt Nonuniformity
… objective of this research is to develop a non-contact system for the detection of segregated HMA areas and for the identification of the locations of these areas along a road for HMA quality assurance purposes. The developed system uses relatively low cost components and innovative image …

Securing encrypted communication
… targeted wiretaps, and securing the initial contact for journalists. We begin by formalising the different combinations of key-to-name bindings seen in popular secure messaging apps into key-name-graphs, which we then use to verify that the key server provides the same snapshot of a …

Nano-scale ohmic contacts for III-V MOSFETs
… is necessary to fabricate source and drain ohmic contacts with ultra-low contact resistance, perhaps as low as 50 [Omega] · [mu]m. This is particularly difficult to achieve as the device size shrinks down to the 10-20 nm length range since the contact resistance increases drastically for small …
