Sentences with phrase «radiation resistance in»

At the same time, the researchers made sure that the apparent radiation resistance in their experiment did not come from any kind of shielding.

Researchers sent the hardy Earth bacteria up to the International Space Station for a real test of radiation resistance in the space experiment ADAPT, which was mounted on the EXPOSE - E platform of the space station's Columbus module.

Not exact matches

Building Tin - Tin would require staggering improvements in autonomous computing, communication, miniaturization, radiation resistance and device longevity.

We could get radiation - resistance genes, for example, from the Bdelloid rotifer, a class of small invertebrates that live in freshwater pools and survive megadoses of ionizing radiation.

The researchers also seek to further improve the system's resistance to harsh cosmic radiation to ensure that it can operate for several years in orbit.

«In this study we've used a bacterium with unrivalled resistance to radiation as a model for the type of bacteria we might find signs of on Mars.

Now researchers from The University of Manchester and University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust — both part of the Manchester Cancer Research Centre — have investigated the role of a molecule known as FAK in controlling the resistance of DCIS to radiation and in predicting disease recurrence.

This complexity contributes to its aggressive nature and resistance to conventional therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy,» says Fisher, Thelma Newmeyer Corman Endowed Chair in Cancer Research and co-leader of the Cancer Molecular Genetics research program at Massey Cancer Center, professor and chair of the Department of Human and Molecular Genetics at the VCU School of Medicine, and director of the VIMM.

This indicates that ERK1 / 2 or AKT mediates radiation resistance through common downstream molecules in B16F10 cells.

Autophagy also has been demonstrated as critical to therapeutic resistance, and is upregulated during cancer treatment in response to chemotherapy and radiation.

«The hypothesis to be tested experimentally in ADAPT was whether longer - lasting selective pressure by UV radiation results in a higher UV resistance, as well as in a higher resistance against further «extreme» environmental factors that exist in space,» Wassmann said.

They are found in both our internal and external environments and include excessive levels of the hormone insulin (insulin resistance), emotional stress, environmental toxins (heavy metals), free - radical damage, viral, bacterial, fungal other pathogenic infections, obesity, overconsumption of hydrogenated oils, periodontal disease, radiation exposure, smoking, spirochetes such as the Borrelia that causes Lyme disease, and certain pharmacological drugs.

If there were no greenhouse gases, it would be less clear whether convection or radiation governed in the troposphere, since there would be a lot less resistance to radiative transport.

So the «resistance» doesn't go to zero, and it's a horse race between convection and radiation even in a transparent atmosphere.

A liquid - expansion or platinum - resistance thermometer placed in the atmosphere at elevation 2m (for example) above ocean or land surface measures: — molecular kinetic energy (molecular translational energy, heat) plus — LWR energy plus — molecular vibrational energy of the GHGs (primarily H2O in the gaseous form) because LWR energy and molecular vibrational energy of the GHGs are transmuted to molecular kinetic energy (molecular translational energy, heat) upon impacting upon the molecules of the solid and I understand that there is no transverse electromagnetic radiation inside a solid.

There may be a small difference in resistance if higher temperatures in the ionosphere have an effect on outward radiation (despite the extremely low density) comparable to a charged grid in a vacuum tube.

I have carried out complex analyses in heat transfer equipment designs in the past involving series of thermal resistances and associated temperature drops — starting with changes of phase, boiling heat transfer to liquid metals, conduction through silicon carbide walls, convection and radiation from non-luminous gases and radiation from refractory walls all on a single spreadsheet.
