Interference between surgical magnetic drapes and pacemakers: an observationa...
Abstract Background Magnetic fields may potentially interfere with the function of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices. Sterile magnetic drapes used to hold surgical... -
Effect of boundary on refractive index of PDMS
In this contribution we present some results of a study of a refractive index inhomogeneity near the boundary of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) samples. We have observed... -
Interactive application in holographic optical tweezers of a multi-plane Gerc...
Phase-hologram patterns that can shape the intensity distribution of a light beam in several planes simultaneously can be calculated with an iterative Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm... -
Development of drug-inducible CRISPR-Cas9 systems for large-scale functional ...
Abstract Background Large-scale genetic screening using CRISPR-Cas9 technology has emerged as a powerful approach to uncover and validate gene functions. The ability to control... -
Overexpression of MALT1-A20-NF-κB in adult B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Abstract Background A20 is a dual inhibitor of NF-κB activation and apoptosis in the tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 signaling pathway, and both are related to tumorigenesis.... -
