Development and Analyses of a New Ideal Finishing Appliance
… quantitated. Unilateral mesial vectors caused skewing and labial displacement of the midline with minimal mesial forces to the posterior segments. Bilateral buccal-lingual vectors to the posterior segment cancelled out their reciprocal reactions. Bilateral intrusion or extrusion reciprocal …

An incompressible three-dimensional turbulent boundary layer on the floor of a recurving rectangular channel
… of these to predict cross flow profiles when skewing existed in any single profile. A recurving or s-shaped rectangular channel was used to experimentally investigate the possible existence of such a turbulent boundary layer flow. The time average velocity profiles along the centerline of this …

Turbulent Boundary Layer Flow Over a Bump
… gradients. These conditions introduce flow skewing, anisotropy, and deviations from classical equilibrium behavior, making them difficult to model and predict accurately. This thesis examines the behavior of 3D turbulent boundary layers over the BeVERLI Hill, a three-dimensional surface …

Cogging torque reduction of 6s-4p spoke-type IPMSM using a new combination of rotor design
… cogging torque reduction techniques of skewing (Sk), notching (Not), radial pole pairing (Pop), and axial pole pairing (App) were analysed. Then, a new combination such as skewing with pole pairing (SkPop), skewing with pole axial pairing (SkApp), notching with pole pairing (NotPop), and …

Identification and characterization of protein phosphatase 2A mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana
… on vertically-oriented plates had a strong right-skewing growth pattern (when viewed from top of the plate) while wild type seedlings showed only a slight right skewing. Complementation confirmed that the c4 mutant phenotype was due to loss of PP2A C4 function. The c4 mutant phenotype did not …

Molecular mechanisms responsible for the dynamic modulation of macrophage responses to varying dosages of lipopolysaccharide
… of chronic diseases. The mild pro-inflammatory skewing induced by super-low-dose LPS also potentiates the inflammatory response to later challenge with a higher dose of LPS in a phenomenon known as the "Shwartzman reaction" or "endotoxin priming". We investigated the mechanisms involved in …

The current-phase relation of graphene-based Josephson junctions
… its symmetry with carrier nature and the de-skewing with increasing temperature - were qualitatively observed, others were inconsistent with the experimental data. Perhaps the most important disparity was that of the functionality of the skewing, which we found to vary linearly with critical …

An experimental study of a turbulent wing-body junction and wake flow
… pressure gradients and resulting flow skewing directions. A quantity known as the "distortion function" was used to separate the distortive effects of the secondary flow from those of the body and the local "2-D" boundary layer. The distortion function revealed that the adverse pressure …

Protein Phosphatase 2A Function in Response to Salt Stress in Arabidopsis thaliana: Defining Pathways and Genetic Interaction Networks
… of the A and C subunit mutants exhibited root skewing or curling phenotypes when grown on vertically-oriented plates supplemented NaCl. I characterized the root response of a1rcn1 and c4 mutants and found that the root phenotype was sodium specific and influenced by NaCl concentration, …

X-Inaktivierung bei heterozygoten Überträgerinnen X-chromosomal gebundener Adrenoleukodystrophie
… ausgeprägte Verschiebung der X-Inaktivierung (Skewing) zugunsten eines Allels (> 80:100). Im Gegensatz dazu war ein ausgeprägtes Skewing weder bei den Nicht-Überträgerinnen aus ALD-Familien noch bei den Kontrollen zu beobachten. In diesen Gruppen fanden sich nur random X-Inaktivierung und …

Kin and country: aspects of the use of kinterms in Arandic languages
… kinterms it is shown that systematic patterns of skewing exist in Arandic systems, and the factors which determine this are explored. Particular types of kin are marked by the use of specialised kinterms, by respectful codes of behaviour, and by the use of special registers.

Identifying Epigenetic Regulators Of Tumor Dormancy And Recurrence
… understanding of background levels of sgRNA skewing in an experimental system of interest, yet this type of characterization has not been performed for in vivo CRISPR screens in mouse models of cancer. To address this gap, we performed an in vivo CRISPR screen with a negative control sgRNA …

Looking at the impact of parental involvement on student learning
… and respondents may share many characteristics, skewing the results. Questions on the surveys were categorized into themes to look for trends. The results find that some parents do interfere with the educational process and children of these parents tend to suffer negative consequences. The data …

Lipid antigens and immunoregulatory iNKT cells in the prevention and treatment of type 1 diabetes and related autoimmune diseases
… truncated phytosphingosine chains of 9 carbons skewing the response towards a predominantly T\(_H\)2 response. Substituting the galactose sugar head for glucose (α-GlcCer) or L-fucose (α-L-FucCer) also elicited differences in the immunological profile of α-GalCer analogues, with lymphocytic …

Stress concentration around dowel bars in jointed rigid concrete pavements
… and straight joints stresses revealed that skewing the joint is an expensive refinement of the joint that does not reduce the magnitude of stresses around dowel bars. A laboratory apparatus was designed for testing the performance of dowel joints. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).

STAT3, NF-κB, and Estrogen Receptor Beta: The Balance of Inflammation in K-ras Mutant Lung Adenocarcinoma
… degree of anti- vs. pro-tumor immunity, and a skewing towards STAT3 is known to promote tumor development and a pro-tumor TIME. It is also well documented in lung cancer that there are disparities in incidence and survival based on sex, with more cases of lung cancer occurring in female …

INTRA-TUMORAL INFILTRATION OF GZMKHIGH CD8+ T EFFECTOR MEMORY CELLS IS ASSOCIATED WITH POOR CLINICAL OUTCOME IN NON-METASTATIC COLORECTAL CANCER.
… CD15 interact with CD8+ T effector memory cells skewing them to produce GZMK, associated with tumor progression in CRC patients. Our fundings identify a unique immune signature, which might inform therapeutic decision making, possibly leading to new immunotherapeutic targets.

Autoimmune Susceptibility Imposed by Public TCRβ Chains
