Taurine promotes glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion in enteroendocrine L cells
Taurine, a sulfur‐containing amino acid, is likely taken up by enteroendocrine L cells via the taurine transporter. This process increases the levels of cytosolic ATP. The increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion through membrane depolarization is caused by the closure of ATP‐sensitive potassium channels ...

The partial discharge diagnosis is an established instrument for the condition assessment of high voltage insulations and equipment. Under AC voltage stress the phase resolved pattern is of great significance in order to become aware of the type of fault.

Phase diagram of the resistive state of the narrow superconducting channel in the voltage-driven regime [PDF]
Based on the numerical solution non-stationary Ginzburg-Landau equations, we investigated the evolution of the order parameter of superconducting channels with different lengths under applied voltage (so-called voltage-driven regime). We calculated current-voltage characteristics for channels of different lengths and found out the origin of theirs ...

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms
Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...

For future multi‐terminal HVDC networks, protection systems based on DC circuit breakers (DCCBs) are envisioned to limit the loss of power transmission towards AC grid(s). Yet, HVDC protection system design is considered a major challenge—especially in a

Characterizing Voltage Contrast in Photoelectron Emission Microscopy [PDF]
A non-destructive technique for obtaining voltage contrast information with photoelectron emission microscopy (PEEM) is described. Samples consisting of electrically isolated metal lines were used to quantify voltage contrast in PEEM. The voltage contrast behavior is characterized by comparing measured voltage contrast with calculated voltage contrast ...

System measures response time of photomultiplier tubes [PDF]
Calibration system enables precise determination of rise time of photosensitive detectors. To perform a calibration, the time-voltage curve of the excitation voltage for a light source is compared with the time-voltage curve of the voltage output from a ...
