TEC

A gene on chromosome 4p12 that encodes a non-receptor tyrosine kinase which contributes to signalling from many receptors and participates as a signal transducer in multiple downstream pathways, including regulation of the actin cytoskekleton. TEC plays a redundant role to ITK in regulating the adaptive immune response; it also plays a redundant role to BTK in BCR signalling for B-cell development and activation, especially by phosphorylating STAP1, a BCR-signalling protein. It also regulates the development, function and differentiation of conventional T cells and non-conventional NKT cells. It plays a role in hepatocyte proliferation and liver regeneration and is involved in HGF-induced ERK signalling pathway.

The TEC, being an active thermal device, creates a thermal inversion that dramatically changes the thermal profile inside the package.

Here water flow rate is high enough to ensure that no temperature change occurs as heat is pumped into it by the TEC. Commercially available TECs can pump from 10 to 100 W/[cm.sup.2]; therefore, chilled water flowing at a sufficient rate must be used to keep the heat sink temperature at 25[degrees]C.

Training and Enterprise Councils (TECs) have come in for a substantial amount of criticism during the past year, not least because it is alleged that they are part of this government's policy of littering Britain with hundreds of new quangos which are being run by what the Economist, in an article in August 1994 called 'unelected quangocrats'.
