Structure determination of human cardiac NCX1 Here we present the structures of human cardiac NCX1 in both the inactivated and Ca 2+-activated states, revealing the molecular basis underlying the complex regulation of NCX1. NCX1 activity can also be modulated by PIP2 36, 42, 43, 44 as well as posttranslational modification such as palmitoylation 45, 46, 47, 48.ĭespite the extensive investigations, little is known about the architecture of the eukaryotic NCX1 and the coupling between its TM and intracellular regulatory domains. An amphipathic region, known as eXchanger Inhibitory Peptide (XIP) at the N-terminus of the intracellular domain, plays a central role in the inactivation process 40, 41. The Na +-dependent inactivation occurs when three Na + ions are bound to the inward-facing exchanger 37, 38, 39. In cardiac NCX1, cytosolic Ca 2+ binds to two calcium-binding domains (CBDs) within the intracellular domain to increase transport activity 33, 34, 35, while cytosolic Na + inhibits transport activity by driving the exchanger into an inactivated state known as Na +-dependent inactivation 16, 31, 36, 37. The intracellular domain is involved in the allosteric regulation of the exchanger by cytosolic Ca 2+ and Na + 29, 31. The TM domain is responsible for the ion exchange function in NCX 29, 31 and has been modeled by the crystal structures of the archaebacterial exchanger NCX_Mj 30, 32. The eukaryotic NCX consists of a TM domain with 10 TM helices and a large intracellular regulatory domain which, in primary sequence, separates the TM domain into two homologous halves (TMs 1–5 and TMs 6–10) 2, 27, 28, 29, 30. The cardiac exchanger NCX1.1 has been the most extensively studied variant whose function is central to the cardiac contractile activity 23, 24, 25, 26. Three NCX isoforms (NCX1–3) are found in mammals, and each isoform carries various splice variants that are expressed in specific tissues and exhibit distinct regulatory phenotypes 2, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22. NCX normally functions to extrude Ca 2+, but it can be reversed depending on the chemical gradient of Na + and Ca 2+ and the membrane potential 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. NCX-catalyzed ion exchange reaction is electrogenic with a stoichiometry of 3 Na + for 1 Ca 2+. Dysfunctions of NCXs are associated with many human pathologies, including cardiac hypertrophy, arrhythmia, and postischemic brain damage 1, 7, 8, 9. They are ubiquitously expressed and play a central role in maintaining cellular calcium homeostasis for cell signaling 5, 6. Sodium-calcium exchangers (NCX) are membrane antiporters that control the extrusion or entry of Ca 2+ across the cell membrane in exchange for Na + 1, 2, 3, 4. Thus, the current NCX1 structures provide an essential framework for the mechanistic understanding of the ion transport and cellular regulation of NCX family proteins. Ca 2+ binding to the cytosolic second Ca 2+-binding domain (CBD2) disrupts this inactivation assembly which releases its constraint on the TM domain, yielding an active exchanger. In the inward-facing state with low cytosolic, a TM-associated four-stranded β-hub mediates a tight packing between the TM and cytosolic domains, resulting in the formation of a stable inactivation assembly that blocks the TM movement required for ion exchange function. We demonstrate that the interactions between the ion-transporting transmembrane (TM) domain and the cytosolic regulatory domain define the activity of NCX. Here we present the cryo-EM structures of human cardiac NCX1 in both inactivated and activated states, elucidating key structural elements important for NCX ion exchange function and its modulation by cytosolic Ca 2+ and Na +. Although extensively studied, little is known about the global structural arrangement of eukaryotic NCXs and the structural mechanisms underlying their regulation by various cellular cues including cytosolic Na + and Ca 2+. They are ubiquitously expressed and play an essential role in maintaining cytosolic Ca 2+ homeostasis. Is accompanied by a release of energy in the form of heat.Na +/Ca 2+ exchangers (NCX) transport Ca 2+ in or out of cells in exchange for Na +.

This way, you are not going to feel it pressing your head while you are working or using it to protect yourself in an emergency. If you are a big guy, then you already know that you should go for a large-sized respirator. You can find any type of common size in the market, as manufacturers provide several size variations from every gas mask model they create. Gas mask sizes are no different from sizes of conventional head gear, such as hats. If you wear a gas mask during a dangerous occasion, such as a natural disaster, you have to be able to see clearly the surroundings and the environment around, so that you can avoid obstacles and threats like fire or debris.Īll in all, the perfect size of a gas mask is the one that provides convenience when you wear it, stability so that it doesn’t move when it sits o the head of the user, and clear visibility for moving around the place without difficulty. Last but not least, visibility is key when it comes to surviving or seeking protection by using a gas mask. Keep in mind, that the straps of the mask play a major role regarding the level of stability. A gas mask should stay still when applied on the head of the user, while it makes it easy for him to move the head around. What is more, except from convenience you should look for stability. Being able to wear the gas mask fast, will allow you to stay protected from the beginning on an incident, without inhaling any amount of the hazardous gas that has spread in the atmosphere for example. The size of gas mask you should look for, is the one that will allow you to put on the gas mask or the respirator fast and comfortably, in case you run out of time in case of an emergency. The reason why, is because sometimes manufacturers need to put additional parts in the interior part of a gas mask, making it tighter than it should be. Being able to acquire a mask that sits comfortably on your head when you wear it, guarantees that it is going to be stable and provide the maximum level of protection and visibility during a dangerous situation.Īlthough gas masks come in specific sizes, you should always try them on before you purchase them. Size is a very important metric for all types of head gear, especially when it comes to protection and safety. Depending on the requirements of your job or hobby, you should choose between these two types in order to take full advantages of the benefits of each one. Here are some of the best gas mask models of various sizes:Īpart from the regular sizes which are the small, medium and large, gas mask sizes come into two very large categories which are the full face gas masks and the half face gas masks. What you should do, is try every gas mask that you are into, and test it to see if it has the appropriate size when you put it on. It is going to allow you to work conveniently under any circumstances, and make you more productive and careful during any process that you are required to wear a gas mask.įortunately, there is a wide variety of different gas mask sizes and styles available in the market that fit every type of head shape. They can be equipped to the lower of the two Head slots for clothing on the Inventory screen.Size does matter when it comes to purchasing the right gas mask for your specific needs. What is Face Clothing? Subset of Head Clothingįace Clothing includes masks, goggles, glasses, and other accessories which attach to your face.

The Grand Harvest expansion is the Season 8 of SnowRunner. I think that if the cover was a little longer, wider and had rounded corners similar to the Undercover hard toneau here as well, this would be a drier cover.īut as I said, all in all this is an 8 out of 10.UnderCover 16-20 Toyota Tacoma 5ft Armor Flex Bed Cover - Black Textured You can also see the areas that don't catch the water. Here you can see a better picture of how the edge only hangs over the side about 3/4", as well as the drain channel. In these final two pictures you can see the tail gate end of the cover. In these two pictures you can see the gap when it is all tightened down, but I have lifted the end of the outer rubber edge seal. But this is ok as it is, since there is a drip rail to collect the water that gets in and channel it toward the drain tubes. I believe the cover should be at least two inches wider on both sides to give a better seal. In these two pictures you can see that the cover rests on about 3/4" of the side rails. I believe if the gasket was wide enough, I could have trimmed it to cover most, if not all of the gaps. It should cover both the top of the bed rail and the tie down rail. But the gasket is too narrow as you can see. Undercover does supply the rubber gasket that you have to trim to fit as I did. There is also the rail that drains the water into the drain tube. In these pictures, you can see that there is a major gap that lets water in. If you look close, you may be able to make out the drain tube connectors. Here you can see the larger bolts and hand cranks that hold the front of the cover to the rails. Here you can see that by using the prop rods, the cover does not rest on your cab, causing damage to the cab, and possibly the cover. These two pictures you can see that is folds up nicely, allowing you to use your bed if you are out and about and need to carry a large piece of equipment, or if you need to use almost all of your bed, you can fold it one more time and have the prop rods hold the entire cover out of the way. I'll have to figure out how to remedy that. As I drive down the road, little droplets fly up and get all over the back window, making it dirty. Since this is the front of the bed, the cover could be wider as well as incorporate the rounded edges.Īfter it rains, water builds up not only inside the bed, but also right under the window. In these pictures is where Undercover could definitely improve. It would make the water resistance better. This is where I think they could have made the cover a little longer and wider, and possibly had corners like the original Undercover toneau. In these first two pictures, you can see good coverage and it looks good. (Not sure how to add the actual picture in the body here, but the link is here.) But the water gets in through other places and does not drain through the hoses, but rather leak inside the bed. The instructions say it is water resistant, not waterproof. I know their hard covers have finished ends and corners, and I believe they could incorporate the front of the bed on this type. My main concern/gripe is that I believe Undercover dropped the ball when it comes to fit and finish. But then again, I have seen the other products out there and would have settled for a vinyl roll up type. I know I can't really complain, but had I paid money for this, I would have returned it. I only had to buy the install kit and replacement prop-rods. Let me start by saying I got this cover for free from the dealership I was working at because it was used for display, and we have others used for that now. It does not rest on the cab like the others do, and is simple to install, fold up and fold flat. I like the theory behind the functionality, and think it is one of the best, if not the best tri-fold toneau cover out there. So I finally got around to installing my Undercover Flex on my Tacoma. The curry paste already contains chillies so if you're not a fan of too much heat then don't go crazy with the extra chillies. Taste the chilli first so you have a rough idea of how much heat you're adding. Red Chilli: The red chilli is used as a topping to the curry and will add extra heat to the dish. See expert tips below for alternative ways to thicken a curry sauce. If you prefer a Thai red sauce with a thin consistency or if you are making a gluten free version then leave this out. Or try with some crunchy greens like mangetout, tenderstem broccoli, or pak choi.įlour: The flour is used in this recipe as a thickening agent. Try with roasted aubergine or mushrooms for a similar bulk and texture. However, this can be substituted for your preferred veg. Bear in mind that the homemade paste can be made in advance and kept in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to 3 months.Ĭourgette: I love to add sweet and juicy roasted courgettes to this creamy Thai curry. However, if you don't have time to make the paste the best alternative is to buy a jar of pre-made paste. Thai red curry paste: For best results I recommend making the Thai red curry paste yourself. Or for a more authentic taste use Thai ginger otherwise known as galangal (Kha). For a vegetarian option replace the chicken with extra veggies and remember to replace the fish sauce with either soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce or seaweed paste. If you can't get hold of any or if you are making a vegetarian curry, you can substitute with soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce or seaweed paste.Ĭhicken: The chicken can be substitute for your preferred meat or fish. I highly recommend using fish sauce in this recipe for the best flavour. If using milk I would recommend adding flour as well, as described in the recipe, to help keep the sauce thick.įish sauce: Fish sauce is the main seasoning ingredient in Thai cooking and completely transforms the dish. This can be a little heavy so you can also use yogurt or milk. However, you can swap for onion if you prefer.Ĭoconut milk: The best replacement for coconut milk in terms of consistency and flavour is cream. Shallots: The sweeter flavour of shallots compared to onions works really well in this creamy dish. To make this easy Thai red curry recipe you will need: Ingredient notes I've closely match ingredients where I can and used pre ground spices. This Thai red chicken curry recipe is adapted from the Thai recipes I made in 2012 in Thailand when attending the Siam Rice cookery school in Chang Mai, Northern Thailand. This particular recipe is a Thai chicken curry but feel free to replace the meat with your preferred choice or with extra vegetables. Thai red curry is also great on a week night when you want something quick and tasty, that doesn't take too much effort. Perfectly tender chicken coated in coconut curry sauce and finished with fiery chillies and coriander leaves. Make this simple Thai red curry in just 30 minutes and for a boost of flavour try it with homemade Thai red curry paste.Ī creamy and aromatic curry recipe that can be on the table in 30 minutes. And for a little acidity, I used both lime and lemon juice as well as lime zest.Īfter all of that takes a whirl in the food processor, you have gorgeous, insanely flavorful red curry paste on your hands perfect for just about any dish you hope to infuse with curry flavor (in my world, that’s just about everything).A creamy and full flavoured Thai red curry recipe with tender chunks of chicken and oven roasted veggies. Spices come in the form of turmeric, coriander, cumin, sea salt, and black peppercorn. But for a more pungent, spicy paste, double up on spicy chilies and skip the bell pepper. Our paste is less potent than most because we add bell pepper, which makes it more mild. The base for this inspired version is red bell pepper, red chilies, garlic, ginger, and green onion or shallot. For a more authentic version, check out this recipe from Temple of Thai. The following is our inspired (but not traditional) plant-based version, using ingredients that are easier to find in the US. In its most basic form, it consists of red chili peppers, garlic, sea salt, lemongrass, turmeric, and shrimp paste ( source).

It’s also possible that weight loss (bariatric) surgery will play an increasingly important role to lower risk for heart disease, diabetes, and other medical problems among people with excess belly fat, and research is ongoing in this area as well.Īs one of the nation’s top academic medical centers, UT Southwestern offers a wide range of clinical trials aimed at improving the outcomes of patients with obesity and many types of cardiovascular disease. The next step is to determine if those hormones can be modified to better control the amount of fat going to the abdominal region. We know that hormones can have an impact, and some of these hormones are released from the heart. Research is under way at UT Southwestern to learn more about how and why fat collects in different areas of the body and what we can do to prevent or reverse this problem. As a result, a person’s BMI may not change, but there is still a health benefit. In addition to redistributing fat, exercise builds lean muscle mass. Aerobic exercise is more effective than resistance training at distributing fat to the best places in the body, but both are beneficial. There is some evidence that suggests vegetable oil may cause fat to collect in the abdominal region, while olive oil consumption may promote fat going to less-harmful areas of the body.Įxercise: Make sure to get regular exercise. The Mediterranean Diet, which incorporates lots of olive oil, can reduce your risks. Therefore, even if you have an unfavorable body fat distribution, you can do something about it.ĭiet: Avoid foods that are high in simple sugars or saturated fat. A recent study from UT Southwestern investigators showed that a lifestyle intervention that lowered belly fat reduced the risk for the most common kind of heart failure in older adults. More encouraging is that interventions that reduce belly fat lower the risk for heart disease and diabetes. These results indicate exercise is a key weapon in the battle against belly fat. Any intervention that leads to sustained weight loss will reduce belly fat, but regular exercise lowers belly fat proportionally more than it lowers overall weight, according to recent research from UT Southwestern. You won’t be surprised to hear it starts with a healthy lifestyle – a proper diet and regular exercise. The good news is that you may be able to control your abdominal fat. People seem to have less free time in their lives, and they are resorting to processed foods and fast food more often. Portion sizes at restaurants also have gotten larger. We’re not sure why belly fat is increasing, but we know people in the United States have become less active over the past several decades. In other words, two people who weigh the same could have dramatically different risks of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes, depending on where fat is deposited in their bodies. On the other hand, fat that accumulates in the hips and buttocks may not only be less harmful but may actually protect against these medical problems. Ian Neeland, has shown that this kind of fat puts people at greater risk for developing several kinds of health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, liver problems, some types of cancer, and risk for sudden death. Research at UT Southwestern, which was led by my former colleague Dr. adults.īelly fat is the most dangerous kind of fat because when it develops in the abdominal region and can surround internal organs. Research here at UT Southwestern and other institutions suggests it may be more important to examine a person’s “fat distribution profile.” Where is the fat accumulating in the person’s body? What risks does that present?Īlthough obesity rates in the United States have stabilized somewhat in recent years after decades of increase, belly fat is becoming more common among U.S. It is calculated using a person’s height and weight. Historically, we’ve used the Body Mass Index, or BMI, to determine body fatness. Obesity is a major issue in the United States, but UT Southwestern research suggests we may need to change the way we look at fat.

We need to do these procedures with all the servo motors we will be using and write down the corresponding values for each one, as these are the values it works between to position itself. The movement is slow with 10 "steps" every 50 milliseconds from 30 degrees to 150 degrees. In this case we get the 120 degrees that the MG995 works with. In the following lines we create two loops in which we have to change the data marked in red to position the servo motor between 30 degrees and 150 degrees. #define SERVOMIN 100 // This is the 'minimum' pulse length count (out of 4096) #define SERVOMAX 500 // This is the 'maximum' pulse length count (out of 4096) The first two lines we analyse are the minimum and maximum values of the pulse width for each servo motor, corresponding to the positions 0 degrees and 180 degrees. The following lines belong to the MG995 servo motor sketch. The two sketches are very similar, so we will explain the most important lines of one of the two sketches. To determine the required pulse width data, we use the Servo_check_120_degrees_slow_motion.ino and Servo_check_180_degrees.ino sketches and a protractor as shown in the drawing. According to the data sheet, the MG995 servo motor rotates 120 degrees, while the MG90S and SG90 servo motors rotate 180 degrees. We will develop a robot arm that picks up parts with a gripper and places them elsewhere.įor the operation of our robot arm it is very important to know the pulse width data of the servo motors in order to position the minimum and maximum angle with the adjustment sketches and to bring the robot arm into the desired position. So it is possible for servo motors to move the set, with the electronics for control already integrated there. Balsa wood is used for inlays (marquetry), which is not heavy and yet resistant. We have to look for a material that is not very heavy and inexpensive. The question is: could it be done with servo motors? Ideally, the structure should be of metal and the actuators would have to be stepper motors, but this set is heavy and expensive. The main problem is the weight of the structure of the robot arm and the actuators to move it. Would it be possible to build a small robot arm with simple electronic modules and components? These industrial robots have powerful motors and special electronic circuits to control movements according to programmed coordinates. Their movements are precise and continuous, as if I was in a dance class. It has always fascinated me to see the movements of robotic arms when they do all kinds of work. |
