C-type Natriuretic Peptide
Natriuretic peptide precursor C, also known as NPPC, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''NPPC'' gene. The precursor NPPC protein is cleaved to the 22 amino acid peptide C-type natriuretic peptide (''CNP''). Function Natriuretic peptides comprise a family of 3 structurally related molecules: atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide ( BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), encoded by a gene symbolized ''NPPC''. These peptides possess potent natriuretic, diuretic, and vasodilating activities and are implicated in body fluid homeostasis and blood pressure control. Unlike ANP and BNP, CNP does not have direct natriuretic activity. This is because CNP is a selective agonist An agonist is a chemical that activates a receptor to produce a biological response. Receptors are cellular proteins whose activation causes the cell to modify what it is currently doing. In contrast, an antagonist blocks the action of the ago ... for the B-type nat ...

Díaz Type C
The Díaz Type C, (C standing for ''Caccia'' - "fighter") was a Spanish fighter prototype in the late 1910s. It competed in the '' Concurso de Aviones'' in 1919. Development The Type C was based on a 1917 design by Julio Adaro which was never completed. The aircraft itself was a two-bay equi-span biplane powered by a 180 hp Hispano-Suiza engine. Operational history The Type C failed to qualify in the Concurso de Aviones in April 1919 at Cuatro Vientos as it did not meet the requirements set out by the specification from the Spanish Aviación Militar , colours = , colours_label = , march = Spanish Air and Space Force Anthem , mascot = , anniversaries = 10 December , equipment ...'s fighter contest. The contest was later won by the Hispano Barrón. Only one was ever produced. Very little data for the Type C have survived. Specifications References * ...

C-ration
The C-Ration, or Field Ration, Type C, was a prepared and canned wet combat ration intended to be issued to U.S. military land forces when fresh food (A-ration) or packaged unprepared food (B-ration) prepared in mess halls or field kitchens was not possible or not available, and when a survival ration ( K-ration or D-ration) was insufficient. Development began in 1938 with the first rations being field-tested in 1940 and wide-scale adoption following soon after. Operational conditions often caused the C-ration to be standardized for field issue regardless of environmental suitability or weight limitations. The C-Ration was replaced in 1958 with the Meal Combat Individual (MCI).Meyer, A.I. and Klicka, M.V., Operational Rations, Current and Future of the Department of Defense', Technical Report Natick TR-82/031 (September 1982) Although officially a new ration, the MCI was derived from and very similar to the original C-Ration, and in fact continued to be called "C-Rations" by ...

Type C Videotape
1–inch Type C (designated Type C by SMPTE) is a professional reel-to-reel analog recording helical scan videotape format co-developed and introduced by Ampex and Sony in 1976. It became the replacement in the professional video and broadcast television industries for the then-incumbent 2–inch quadruplex videotape (2–inch Quad for short) open-reel format. Additionally, it replaced the unsuccessful type A format, also invented by Ampex, and, primarily in mainland Europe, it supplemented the type B format, invented by the Fernseh division of Bosch, but it was replaced by type C format also there. Technical detail Compared to Quad, Type C had a smaller size, comparative ease of operation, and slightly higher video quality. 1–inch Type C is capable of "trick-play" functions such as still, shuttle, and variable-speed playback, including slow motion. 2–inch quadruplex videotape machines lacked these capabilities, due to the segmented manner in whic ...

Type C Connector
The C connector is a type of RF connector used for terminating coaxial cable. The interface specifications for the C and many other connectors are referenced in MIL-STD-348. The connector uses two-stud bayonet-type locks. The C connector was invented by Amphenol engineer Carl Concelman. It is weatherproof without being overly bulky. The mating arrangement is similar to that of the BNC connector. Keith B. Schaub, Joe Kelly, ''Production Testing of RF and System-on-a-chip Devices for Wireless Communications'', Artech House, 2004, page 230 It can be used up to 11 GHz, and is rated for up to 1500 volts.

Type C Print
A chromogenic print, also known as a C-print or C-type print, a silver halide print, or a dye coupler print, is a photographic print made from a color negative, transparency or digital image, and developed using a chromogenic process. They are composed of three layers of gelatin, each containing an emulsion of silver halide, which is used as a light-sensitive material, and a different dye coupler of subtractive color which together, when developed, form a full-color image. History Developing color by using oxidized developers was first suggested by German chemist Benno Homolka who, in 1907, successfully developed insoluble indigo-blue and red dyes on a latent image by oxidizing indoxyl and thio-indoxyl respectively. He additionally noted these developers could create beautiful photographic effects. The potential of oxidized developers in a color photographic process however, was first realized by another German chemist, Rudolf Fischer, who, in 1912, filed a patent describing ...

APS-C
Advanced Photo System type-C (APS-C) is an image sensor format approximately equivalent in size to the Advanced Photo System film negative in its C ("Classic") format, of 25.1×16.7 mm, an aspect ratio of 3:2 and Ø 31.15 mm field diameter. It is therefore also equivalent in size to the Super 35 motion picture film format, which has the dimensions of 24.89 mm × 18.66 mm (0.980 in × 0.735 in) and Ø 31.11 mm field diameter. Sensors approximating these dimensions are used in many digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLRs), mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras (MILCs), and a few large-sensor live-preview digital cameras. APS-C size sensors are also used in a few digital rangefinders. Such sensors exist in many different variants depending on the manufacturer and camera model. All APS-C variants are considerably smaller than 35 mm standard film which measures 36×24 mm. Because of this, devices with APS-C sensors are known as "cro ...

Type C Escort Ship
The were a class of escort ships in the service of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. The Japanese called them "Type C" ocean defense ships, and they were the fifth class of ''Kaibōkan'' (''Kai'' = sea, ocean, ''Bo'' = defense, ''Kan'' = ship), a name used to denote a multi-purpose vessel.Worth P. 208 Background The Type C, like the and es, were dedicated to the anti-aircraft and anti-submarine roles. On 22 April 1943, the Navy General Staff decided a mass production of escort ships, because of the urgent need to protect the convoys which were under constant attack. The plan was to build a basic escort ship of around 800 tons, with a simple design for easy construction. The first designs, for "Type A" and "Type B" , still needed too many man-hours for building, so in June 1943, the Navy General Staff planned for a simplified design. The result was the , and a scaled-down model of the ''Mikura'' class, which became the "Type C" and "Type D" escort classes. De ...

Type C Submarine
The was one of the first classes of submarine in the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) to serve during the Second World War. ''Type-C'' submarines were better armed than the ''Type-A'' and ''Type-B''. The ''Type-C''s were also utilized as '' Kō-hyōteki'' or ''Kaiten'' mother ships, for this reason they were not equipped with aviation facilities. Class variants The ''Type-C'' submarines were divided into three classes: * * * . However, the ''Vessel number 379''-class was never built. ''Type-C'' (''I-16'' class) Project number S38 and S38B (Latter batch). They were based on the ''I-7'' class. Eight boats were built between 1937 and 1944 under the Maru 3 Programme (Boats 44 - 48) and the Maru Kyū Programme (Boats 376 - 378). *Boats in class ''Type-C Mod.'' (''I-52'' class) Project number S37D. Twenty boats were planned under the Maru Tsui Programme (Boats 625 - 632) and the Kai-Maru 5 Programme (Boats 5141 - 5155).

C Class Blimp
The C-class blimp was a patrol airship developed by the US Navy shortly after World War I, a systematic improvement upon the B-type which was very suitable for training, but of limited value for patrol work. Larger than the B-class, these blimps had two motors and a longer endurance. Once again, the envelope production was split between Goodyear and Goodrich, with control cars being built by the Burgess division of Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company. Originally the Navy ordered 30 but reduced the number to 10 after the armistice in November 1918.Althoff, William F, ''SkyShips'', New York: Orion Books, 1990, , p. 6. All ten of the "C" type airships were delivered in late 1918, and examples served at all of the Navy's airship stations from 1918 to 1922. In 1921, the C-7 was the first airship ever to be inflated with helium.Clark, Basil, ''The History of Airships'', New York: St Martin's Press, 1961, Library of Congress 64-12336, p. 147.
