The reported %R_oil(p-value <0.05) was >90 ± 0.1 for tests carried out with pH 7 and C_sur0.1 g/L and declined at higher pH and Csur to % 86.5 due to the increase in emulsion stability. …”

Basophil-VAMP7 is a vital regulator of skin barrier integrity and chronic itch by Zhang, Wenhao

“…VAMP7 knockout also decreased IL-4 and LTC4 release from basophils. Additionally, OSM downregulated barrier proteins and upregulated pruriceptors in keratinocytes; however, these effects were reversed by SC144, which restored skin barrier function in AIF without affecting itch response in either model. …”

Characterization of Non-hormone Expressing Endocrine Cells in Fetal and Infant Human Pancreas by Abu Saleh Md Moin (6189512)

“…While the majority of CPHN cells express (in overall compartments of pancreas) the pan-endocrine transcription factor NKX2.2 and beta-cell specific NKX6.1 in comparable frequency in fetal and infant/child cases (81.9 ± 6.3 vs. 82.8 ± 3.8% NKX6.1+-CPHN cells of total CPHN cells, fetal vs. infant/child, p = 0.9; 88.0 ± 4.7 vs. 82.1 ± 5.3% NKX2.2+-CPHN cells of total CPHN cells, fetal vs. infant/child, p = 0.4), the frequency of clustered CPHN cells expressing NKX6.1 or NKX2.2 is lower in infant/child vs. fetal cases (1.2 ± 0.3 vs. 16.7 ± 4.7 clustered NKX6.1+-CPHN cells/mm2, infant/child vs. fetal, p < 0.01; 2.7 ± 1.0 vs. 16.0 ± 4.0 clustered NKX2.2+-CPHN cells/mm2, infant/child vs. fetal, p < 0.01).…”

Comparative study of the parameters affecting the performance of microchannels' heat exchangers: Latest advances review by Muhammad Asim (2235472)

“…When the fluid is added with nanoparticles, like, Al2O3 and copper oxide (CuO) with different volumetric fractions (φ) of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%, the performance of the microchannel rises with rising the Reynolds number but conversely when the fluid is used in pure form the performance decreases with the rising value of Reynolds number. …”
