Our earlier study revealed that STRA6 (stimulated by retinoic acid gene 6) was up-regulated within 3 h of TCR stimulation.STRA6 is the high-affinity receptor for plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP) and mediates cellular vitamin A uptake.We generated STRA6 knockout (KO) mice to assess whether such up-regulation was critical for T-cell activation, d
This research proposes the design of a mooring system that allows the floating platform to stably dive deep enough to prevent damage induced by Fantasy Art typhoon waves.The design principle of the mechanism is that the submarined floating platform with negative buoyancy is connected to a pontoon with positive buoyancy.The diving depth of the float
CURL SPRAY The most frequent type of brain tumors is Glioma which commonly appears initially in the neuroglia in the central nervous system.They grow steadily and generally do not outspread to neighboring tissue of the brain.By applying dominant remedial regimens, the patients would have negligible survival rates.Despite the achieved advances in co
Space photometric missions have been steadily accumulating observations of Cepheids in recent years, leading to a flow of new discoveries.In this WILD ROSE short review we summarize the findings provided by the early missions such as WIRE, MOST, and CoRoT, and the recent results of the Kepler and K2 missions.The surprising and fascinating results f
This MAG CHLORIDE SPRAY paper presents work undertaken as part of the European H2020 project OptEEmAL (Optimized Energy Efficient Design Platform for Refurbishment at District Level), toward development of a decision-support platform for building and district refurbishment interventions.We describe a methodology for generation and evaluation of ref
