Abstract:
The relative localization of ZO-1 and cingulin, the only two known components of the tight junction, was compared in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, chicken small intestine, rat kidney distal convoluted tubule, and a hepatoma cell line. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that cingulin and ZO-1 are immunologically unrelated and that, in the colon, cingulin is a single polypeptide with a molecular mass of 140 kDa. Immunofluorescent localization of cingulin and ZO-1 in confluent monolayers of MDCK cells showed identical staining patterns. However, subconfluent MDCK cells showed distinct loc

Abstract:
Background: Therapeutic response from subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson disease (PD) has been associated with proximity to an ideal target, commonly in the dorsal sensorimotor STN. Automated registration and atlas-based segmentation has allowed for contact localization within STN subnuclei. We sought to apply these methods to characterize the spatial distribution of our active contact placements. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 55 patients who underwent bilateral STN DBS for PD. Post-operative CT/MRI scans were non-linearly registered into a

Abstract:
Friction-induced vibrations (brake squeal) produced during braking applications have been one of the major problems in the transportation for many years. It can be the most troublesome for passengers because of its high frequency and acoustic pressure. The role of frictional contact surface geometry on the occurrence of squeal was investigated recently by some researchers. However, it has never been systematically studied at different scales simultaneously. Contact localizations are induced on the one hand by macro effects such as thermal dilatation (macroscopic scale) and on the other hand, b

Abstract:
The high-frequency point-contact spectroscopy technique is used for studying antimony contacts in the interval 3·103 − 8·1010 Hz. It is shown that the main contribution to the background signal in the PC spectrum is made by the processes of multiphonon relaxation of electrons, and not by the reabsorption of nonequilibrium phonons. The frequency of thermal relaxation of the point contact is determined from the frequency dispersion of the conductivity in the region of high voltages. The high-frequency results for contacts with inverse spectra are interpreted by using the model of spatial localiz

Abstract:
The smallness of metallic contacts (the contact size is smaller than the electron mean free path) permits spectroscopic studies to be made with respect to the well-defined excess energy eV of electrons by tuning the applied voltage V. Examples of point-contact spectroscopy will be given for the study of energy-dependent scattering of the electrons by quasiparticle excitations within a metal (phonons, magnons, paramagnetic impurities crystal field levels). The limitations of the point-contact technique will be discussed. The ballistic transport enables studies of other phenomena under the volta

Abstract:
Numerical simulation of heating of the vicinity of contact spots of closed copper high-current contacts by short-circuit currents of various shapes is carried out. The relationship between the parameters of thermal and mechanical fields when heated to temperatures exceeding the recrystallization temperature of the material is established. The dynamics of changes in the sizes of elastic and plastic deformations and their localization is shown. It is revealed in which cases the results of heating the contact surroundings may differ significantly with the flow of thermally equivalent currents.

Abstract:
The neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM is a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. NCAM can undergo homophilic binding and heterophilic interactions with cell surface components and is often concentrated at sites of intercellular contact. To investigate the molecular basis of this biased surface distribution, we examined L cell transfectants expressing wild-type or mutant forms of chick NCAM-140 by laser scanning confocal microscopy. Mutant NCAMs that lacked Ig-like domains 1, 2, 4, or 5 were preferentially localized in contact regions. However, the relative concentration of these muta

Due to the difficulty of forming a low Schottky barrier at the interface of a metal/SiC contact, preparing Ohmic contacts is still a key technical problem in developing SiC devices. In this paper, the effects of MoS2 intercalation on the interface properties of metal/SiC (Al, Ag, Ti, Au, and Mg) systems were investigated by first-principles calculation. The calculations show that all the metal/SiC contacts exhibit p-type Schottky contacts with strong Fermi level pinning (FLP) at the interfaces. After inserting a layer of MoS2, the Schottky barrier heights are significantly reduced. All the met

Ylr072w is a conserved protein with GRAM and VASt domains that selectively transports sterols and is thus termed Ltc1, for Lipid transfer at contact site 1.

In this study, we identify the sorting nexin Ypt35 as a novel adaptor that recruits Vps13 to endosomal and vacuolar membranes.

Evidence for rapidly varying pressure fluctuations in a concentrated contact is inferred from the increase in lubricant Raman linewidths. These results raise questions about k
