We proved that the IFNβ+ cells exhibited the hallmark characteristics of Tip-DCs as they produced iNOS and TNF and possessed T cell priming abilities.
Previous deterministic IAM studies14,25,26,29 have suggested that increasing the convexity of the damage function in the DICE model could represent the characteristics of a tipping point.
Characteristics of crack tip deformation were examined for both stationary and growing cracks using the finite element method.
In this paper, vibration characteristics of the tip of the acoustic needle driven by a sandwich type ultrasonic transducer, is investigated to obtain the guidelines for increasing the tip vibration.
As evidenced by the theoretical continuum mechanics models previously discussed, the friction characteristics of a tip-film contact can be dominated by different parameters at different load regimes (Fig. 2).
The more proximal promoter, Promoter 3, was active in a group of cells with the characteristics of prestalk tip-organiser cells and in prespore cells (Fig. 4).
Abnormalities observed in the vibration characteristics of the blade tip timing data measured during engine tests were used to detect the blade damage.
The different types of containers are described and the determinants of eye drop size are discussed, such as the design and physical characteristics of the dropper tip and bottle, the physico-chemical properties of the solution, and the manner in which the patient dispenses the drops.
The issue of low yield has been addressed by modifying the refractive index of an AFM tip prior to metal deposition, which leads to improvements in the plasmon resonance characteristics of the TERS tips.
As a whole, the present model is based on the steady-state solution of diffusion equation, provides the improved description of the local stress in the process zone ahead of the crack and refines the location and critical characteristics of the crack-tip hydride platelets.
