Interactions between Human Two-pore Channels and Nonaspanin Proteins
… protein and human two-pore channels (TPCs) regulate cell autophagy. More importantly, TM9SF1 and TPCs are found in endolysosomal system, and among all TM9SF family, only TM9SF1 interacts with TPC2 structurally, which suggests that there might be functional interaction between TM9SF1 …

Parameters Characterization and Cognitive-Behavioral Effects of Transcranial Pulsed Current Stimulation
… Transcranial pulsed current stimulation (tPCS) is emerging as an option in the field of neuromodulation as a technique that employs weak, pulsed current at different frequency ranges, inducing electrical fields that reach cortical and subcortical structures; however, little is known about …

Physical and mechanical behaviors of pineapple leaf fibre reinforced thermoplastics corn starch bio polymer composites
… was applied to form thermoplastics corn starch (TPCS). Hence, characterizations of the TPCS were investigated and the best result was obtained from a mixture of 70 wt.% CS and 30 wt.% glycerol. Meanwhile, pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) is a versatile plant which can be considered a renewable source …

Ionic Mechanism of Lysosomal Function and Cell Metabolism
<p>Two Pore Channels (TPCs) are endolysosomal ion channels that are permeable to sodium and calcium. Defects in TPCs have been implicated to impair vesicle trafficking, autophagy and cell metabolism control; however, the detailed mechanism remains largely unknown. In this study, I show that TPCs …

Comparison of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and tendon progenitor cells cultured on collagen surfaces
… (BMMSCs) and tendon derived progenitor cells (TPCs) cultured on commercially available bovine, highly purified bovine, porcine, and rattus collagen sources and standard tissue culture surfaces. We hypothesized that collagen type I matrix would preferentially support TPC proliferation and up …

Modeling Arthropod Traits in a Bayesian Framework
… relationship using thermal performance curves (TPCs), or curves that quantify how an organism's performance changes as a function of temperature. However, most thermal analyses have focused on finding the ``best" TPC equation, often overlooking other key considerations. The purpose of this work …

Ultraviolet laser calibration of drift chambers
… projection chamber (TPC). Drift chambers such as TPCs reconstruct the trajectories of charged particles by amplifying and collecting electrons produced by ionization of gas atoms with which the target particle collides. The ultraviolet laser induces a two-photon ionization of gaseous organic …

BMI1 is a context-dependent tumor suppressor that is a barrier to dedifferentiation in non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma
… role in maintaining tumor propagating cells (TPCs). This conclusion is based on the observed tumor suppressive effects of Bmi1 deletion in in vitro cell culture models, in vivo transplant models, and autochthonous models in which Bmi1 was absent throughout development. However, to date, no one …

An analysis of the sensitivity of a low pressure time projection chamber to a directional anisotropy due to WIMP interactions
… matter direct detection effort which develops TPCs to observe and reconstruct nuclear recoils generated by incident particles. If some of these recoils are the result of dark matter interactions, we can in theory observe an anisotropy in the direction of these recoils which is consistent with …

Resin percolation and intimate contact in fast processing of thermoplastic composites
Fusion bonding of thermoplastic composites (TPCs) requires intimate contact before polymer interdiffusion and solidification can establish an interlaminar bond. The lack of such intimate contact results in voids or disbonds. This study showed through cross-sectional imaging and scaling analysis …

Design and Analysis for the DarkSide-10 Two-Phase Argon Time Projection Chamber
… argon in two-phase time projection chambers (TPCs). We have designed, built, and commissioned DarkSide-10, a 10 kg prototype detector, and are designing and building DarkSide-50, a 50 kg dark matter detector. The present work is an account of my contribution to these efforts. The two-phase …

An assessment of the sensitivity of a low pressure time projection chamber to the direction of WIMP-induced nuclear recoils/
… Chamber (DMTPC) collaboration develops TPCs with optical readout whose goal is the detection of the sense and direction of nuclear recoils generated by dark matter interactions with carbon and fluorine atoms in low pressure CF 4 gas, from which the direction of the incident dark matter …

Mechanistic characterization of acetic acid resistance enzymes of Acetobacer aceti
… <em>Thermoplasma acidophilum</em> (TpCS) fused to a C-terminal hexahistidine tag (TpCSH6) reported here is an open structure that, when compared with several liganded TpCS structures, helps to define a complete path for active site closure. (Abstract shortened by ProQuest.)</p>

The direct implications of warming on the phenotype and underlying functional traits of marine phytoplankton
… I quantified the thermal performance curves (TPCs) of FTs in representative species from two laboratory-cultured phytoplankton functional types to understand trade-offs associated with thermal acclimation and adaptation. To assess whether these laboratory-based patterns of FT trade-offs and …

Local Adaptation Signatures in Thermal Performance of the Temperate Coral Astrangia poculata
… were measured. Thermal performance curves (TPCs) of respiration revealed differences consistent with local adaptation of the RI and VA populations to their natal thermal environments. RI corals exhibited higher respiration rates overall, and higher respiration at 6, 15, 18, 22, and 26°C. …

Constraints on the adaptive potential of ectotherms to climate change
… that underlie thermal performance curves (TPCs) affect population persistence in warming climates. I find that, while some genetic correlations constrain adaptation, others, particularly the thermodynamic effect, can actively facilitate it by promoting trait variation that yields phenotypes …

CRYOGENIC DETECTION OF SCINTILLATION LIGHT WITH LARGE AREA SIPM ARRAYS FOR NEXT GENERATION NEUTRINO AND DARK MATTER EXPERIMENTS
… of the photon detection system in liquid argon TPCs, the very first large-scale xenon doping of liquid argon was performed in the DUNE prototype ProtoDUNE-SP. It allowed measuring the fundamental rate constants governing the scintillation, and for the first time with such granularity at low …
