Telocytes (TCs) have been described in various organs and species (www.telocytes.com) as cells with telopodes (Tps) - very long cellular extensions with an alternation of thin segments (podomers) and dilated portions (podoms). We examined TCs using electron microscopy (EM), immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), time-lapse videomicroscopy and whole-cell patch voltage-clamp. EM showed a three-dimensional network of dichotomous-branching
Read moreThe objective of this investigation was to identify the overall pollen types and, more particularly, the allergenic pollen content in the investigated area and then to explore their seasonal variations. The measurement point was located in the Timisoara city, Romania. A Lanzoni volumetric trap was used for sample collection. Duration of the pollen season of allergenic plants and respective variation in airborne pollen concentration are presented
Read moreOne of the current concerns of the academic environment in economics is highlighting the importance of competences that higher educati on graduates should display when they step across the threshold of the real economy. To this effect, the identification of those competences which are compatible with the ne eds of the real economy may serve as a solid basis for developing adequate curricula and obtaining remarkable educational outcomes reflected
Read moreThe paper reports the synthesis of new silsesquioxanes with methacrylate and/or vinyl units, obtained by combining the solegel technique with radical polymerization in the presence of 2,20-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) as initiator and a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. The thermal behaviour was investigated through simultaneous thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry analysis (TG/DSC) coupled on-line with Fourier
Read moreThe effects on chemical and physical properties of biaxial stretched poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) as a result of KrF (24 8 nm) and XeCl (308 nm) laser irradiation were investigated. Below ablation threshold, roughening of the surface was detected, with the formation of periodic surface structures for 308 nm irradiation, while above the ablation threshold, dendrites or granular protuberances superimpose the densely-packed nap structures. The

METHODS: Respondents to the 2009 Survey on Living with Chronic Diseases in Canada, a nationally representative sample of 4,565 Canadians age ≥20 years reporting health professional-diagnosed
