INHIBITION OF GAP JUNCTIONAL INTERCELLULAR COMMUNICATION IN WB-F344 RAT LIVER EPITHELIAL CELLS BY TRIPHENYLTIN CHLORIDE THROUGH MAPK AND PI3-KINASE PATHWAYS

Abstract Background Organotin compounds (OTCs) have been widely used as stabilizers in the production of plastic, agricultural pesticides, antifoulant plaints and wood preservation.The toxicity of triphenyltin (TPT) compounds was known for their embryotoxic, neurotoxic, genotoxic and immunotoxic effects in mammals.The carcinogenicity of TPT was not

In this paper, two feedback linearizing control laws for the stabilization of the Inertia Wheel Pendulum are derived: a full-state linearizing controller, generalizing the Ice Melter existing results in literature, with friction ignored in the description and an inputoutput linearizing control law, based on a physically motivated definition of the

Silicone sealants have a long history of successful use in high performance windows and curtainwalls, such as structural glazing (bonding) systems which can contribute to bomb blast mitigating window designs.Previous experimental work illustrated the increase in strength and elongation for silicone sealants at the typically higher strain rates of b
