RHO A versus RHO C. (c2014) by Dimassi, Saleh B. Al

“…In this study we aim to look at the role both Rho A and Rho C play in protrusion formation where we found that upon RhoA knockdown protrusions are no longer formed, using 2D time lapse microscopy that shows the depletion of RhoA and RhoC leads to the decrease in 2D motility, RhoA knockdown decreases adhesion of cells in contrast RhoC knockdown increases adhesion of astrocytoma, and FRET based biosensors. …”

Doppler broadening spectroscopy of carbon black and carbon black-filled rubbers by Semaan, Mars E.

“…This is due to (1) reduction in positronium formation as carbon black is added to the rubber, and (2) positron trapping at the carbon black–rubber interface, which depends on the carbon black morphology. The S parameter decreases with the carbon black surface area. The S parameter does not depend on the sample mixing time.…”
