Adenylate Cyclase Toxin Promotes Internalisation of Integrins and Raft Components and Decreases Macrophage Adhesion Capacity
(Public Library of Science, 2011-02-23)
Bordetella pertussis, the bacterium that causes whooping cough, secretes an adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT) that must be post-translationally palmitoylated in the bacterium cytosol to be active. The toxin targets phagocytes ...
Consumption-Leisure Trade-offs and Persistency in Business Cycles
(2007)
This paper studies whether nonseparabilities between consumption and leisure may help to explain the observed persistence in GNP growth. We consider an extended version of Lucas' (1988) human capital investment model that ...
Techniques for On-Line Diagnosis of Stator Shorted Turns in Induction Motors
(Taylor & Francis, 2006-01)
In low voltage induction motors, the first indication of a stator fault is the appearance of an inter-turn short circuit. For this reason, several attempts to diagnose reliably these short circuits have been made. Although ...
System for ampacity monitoring and low sag overhead conductor evaluation
(IEEE, 2012)
Among the different alternatives to achieve the uprating and better use of existing overhead power lines are the use of high temperature low sag conductors and the use of real time monitoring systems for knowing the ampacity ...
