Toxoplasma gondii, Joan Ng Kiat Yee: BM304 revision guide 2015 The physiology, metabolism, biochemistry Toxoplsama gondii is an intracellular apicomplexan parasite that forms cyst coccidian in warm-blooded animals, primarily in the Felida – domestic cats (Shannon et al., 2015). The organism also causes a wide range of diseases in different intermediate hosts, ranging from animals, such as mammals and birds to human (Astrid et al., 2000). In human, this parasite poses serious threat by causing a

during EMT leads to many important changes in the phenotype and behavior of the cells. Epithelial cells undergo prominent morphological changes including the loss of cell-cell adhesion and the loss of apical-basal polarity. The cobblestone-like monolayer of epithelial cells with an apical-basal polarity is converted to dispersed, spindle-shaped mesenchymal cells with migratory protrusions. In addition to these morphological changes, cells undergoing EMT loose the expression of E-cadherin and other

Molecular Simulations on the Mechanical Response and Failure Behavior of a Defective Graphene: Cases of Stone-Thrower-Wales (5-7-7-5) defects G. Rajasekaran Rajesh Kumar and Avinash Parashar Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee - 247667, India ABSTRACT Structural defects which are inevitable during the production, chemical and heat treatment processes can affect the mechanical properties of graphene and also defects can be deliberately

Institute of Technology, Roorkee - 247667, India ABSTRACT Keywords: graphene, defect engineering, Stone-Thrower-Wales defect, crack bridging, stress intensity factor, fracture toughness. 1. Introduction Graphene is a hexagonal two-dimensional (2D) monolayer of honeycomb lattice packed carbon structure that was discovered and successfully isolated from bulk graphite just a few years ago [1]. It is a promising candidate in a number of mechanical, thermal and electrical applications [2-6], owing to its

Abstract Titanium cerium ferrite (TCF) was prepared by a simple solvothermal method. The obtained TCF was applied as magnetic adsorbent for the extraction of uranium ions from aqueous solutions. The synthesized magnetic nanoadsorbent was characterized using FT-IR, XRD, Raman, BET surface area, VSM and TEM. Various parameters such as solution pH, initial concentration, sorbent dosage and rate of adsorption were investigated using batch adsorption experiments. The optimum pH was found to be 6

Astonishing Strength Characteristics of Stone-Thrower-Wales Defects in Graphene under Compressive Load G. Rajasekaran Rajesh Kumar and Avinash Parashar Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee - 247667, India ABSTRACT: One atom-thick sheet of carbon discovered this century is flaunted not just for its electrical properties but also for its physical strength and flexibility. The bonds between carbon atoms are well known as the strongest in nature

I. Overall Lung Function and Organization The human lung is a series of blind end tubes, hollow tubes that that allow for the conduction of air. The conduction of air starts from the nasal cavity or oral cavity, continues to flow through the trachea and bronchus and finally reaches the bronchioles that lead into the alveolus that allows for gas exchange to occur (Phalen et al. 1983). This system can be broken down into two different region; a conducting region and a region of gas exchange. The

What is known is that the forebrain roof plate starts to develop soon after neurulation, when roof plate cells, which are the first cohort of cell to exit the cell cycle (Kahane and Kalcheim, 1998) begin to form a thin monolayer. This is the time point when the roof plate starts expressing multiple signaling molecules such as members of the Bmp, Wnt and Fgf families exhibiting different gradients along the anterior-posterior axis (Crossley et al., 2001; Furuta et al., 1997;

Sorbent characteristics This chapter discusses the properties of solid sorbents relevant to the performance and cost of CO2 capture. The chapter begins with a discussion of the solid sorbent properties that are important for CO2 capture. The discussion then broadens to include a range of factors which affect the CO2-capture process, such as the interactions between the solid sorbent and other flue gas components, sorbent attrition and degradation, and the influence of reaction kinetics. The chapter
