For homeostasis, lingual taste papilla organs require regulation of epithelial cell survival and renewal, with sustained innervation and stromal interactions.To investigate a role for Hedgehog/GLI signaling in adult taste organs we used a panel of conditional mouse models to manipulate GLI activity within epithelial cells of the fungiform and circu
The motivation of this paper is the continual development of the blades for the last stage of the steam turbine.The biggest problem is the slenderness 15-eg2373cl of such blades and the extreme sensitivity to aeroelastic vibrations (flutter) caused by the instabilities present in the flow.This experimental research is dealing with the aeroelastic b
There are many ways to assess face perception skills.In this study, we describe a novel task battery FEAST (Facial Expression feline 1-hcpch vaccine Action Stimulus Test) developed to test recognition of identity and expressions of human faces as well as stimulus control categories.The FEAST consists of a neutral and emotional face memory task, a f
In this work, we investigate by ab initio calculations and optical experiments the sensitivity of graphene quantum dots in their use as devices to measure the presence, and concentration, of heavy metals in water.We demonstrate that the quenching or enhancement in the optical response (absorption, emission) depends on the metallic ion considered.In
