摘要:
A nuclear fuel assembly for boiling water reactor is provided. The nuclear fuel assembly includes a base, a head, a bundle of fuel rods extending longitudinally between the base and the head, a tubular fuel channel encasing the bundle of fuel rods, and at least one fuel channel spacer for transversely spacing the fuel assembly from an adjacent element. The or each fuel channel spacer includes a support having at least one plate and at least one corresponding leaf spring supported by the corresponding plate, the or each plate being fixed to a corresponding sidewall of the fuel channel.
摘要:
The present invention provides an approach for the determination of the activation states of a plurality of proteins in single cells. This approach permits the rapid detection of heterogeneity in a complex cell population based on activation states, expression markers and other criteria, and the identification of cellular subsets that exhibit correlated changes in activation within the cell population. Moreover, this approach allows the correlation of cellular activities or properties. In addition, the use of modulators of cellular activation allows for characterization of pathways and cell populations. Several exemplary diseases that can be analyzed using the invention include AML, MDS, and MPN.

摘要:
Compositions and methods are provided for prognostic classification of inflammatory diseases, e.g. inflammatory demyelinating disease, patients into subtypes, which subtypes are informative of the patient's need for therapy and responsiveness to a therapy of interest. The patterns of cytokines provides for a signature pattern that can identify patients likely to benefit from therapeutic intervention as well as discriminate patients that have a high probability of responsiveness to a therapy from those that have a low probability of responsiveness. Assessment of this signature pattern thus allows improved methods of care. In one embodiment of the invention, the autoimmune disease is multiple sclerosis or neuromyelitis optica.
