Kinematic adaptions to induced short-term pelvic limb lameness in trotting dogs
Abstract Background Lameness due to paw injuries is common in the clinical practice. Although many studies investigated gait adaptations to diseases or injuries, mainly of the... -
Developmental and morphological studies in Japanese medaka with ultra-high re...
We propose ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography to study the morphological development of internal organs in medaka fish in the post-embryonic stages at micrometer... -
Acanthamoeba containing endosymbiotic chlamydia isolated from hospital enviro...
Abstract Background Environmental chlamydiae belonging to the Parachlamydiaceae are obligate intracellular bacteria that infect Acanthamoeba, a free-living amoeba, and are a... -
Draft genome sequences of eight bacteria isolated from the indoor environment...
Abstract We report here the draft genome sequences of eight bacterial strains of the genera Staphylococcus, Microbacterium, Mycobacterium, Plantibacter, and Pseudomonas. These... -
Reconfigurable silicon thermo-optical device based on spectral tuning of ring...
A novel tunable and reconfigurable thermo-optical device is theoretically proposed and analyzed in this paper. The device is designed to be entirely compatible with CMOS process... -
McTwo: a two-step feature selection algorithm based on maximal information co...
Abstract Background High-throughput bio-OMIC technologies are producing high-dimension data from bio-samples at an ever increasing rate, whereas the training sample number in a... -
How did episiotomy rates change from 2007 to 2014? Population-based study in ...
Abstract Background Since the 2000s, selective episiotomy has been systematically recommended worldwide. In France, the recommended episiotomy rate in vaginal deliveries is less... -
Characterization of evolution of mode coupling in a graded-index polymer opti...
A narrow bandwidth (2GHz) π-phase-shift flattop fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed to achieve Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) for perfluorinated graded-index... -
Reading the news on Twitter: Source and item memory for social media in young...
Abstract Background Social media content is well-remembered, possibly because of its personal relevance and gossipy nature. It is unclear whether the mnemonic advantage of... -
Millstone: software for multiplex microbial genome analysis and engineering
Abstract Inexpensive DNA sequencing and advances in genome editing have made computational analysis a major rate-limiting step in adaptive laboratory evolution and microbial... -
Improving squalene production by enhancing the NADPH/NADP+ ratio, modifying t...
Abstract Background Squalene is currently used widely in the food, cosmetics, and medicine industries. It could also replace petroleum as a raw material for fuels. Microbial... -
Identifying the effect of patient sharing on between-hospital genetic differe...
Abstract Background Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most common healthcare-associated pathogens. To examine the role of inter-hospital patient... -
Light-induced gene expression with photocaged IPTG for induction profiling in...
Abstract Background Inducible expression systems are frequently used for the production of heterologous proteins. Achieving maximum product concentrations requires induction... -
Bridging Two Worlds: Microfluidic Optomechanics
Optomechanical systems that enable strong phonon-photon coupling have been with us for a while but have never been demonstrated with non-solid phases of matter. -
High-Quality draft genome sequence of the Lotus spp. microsymbiont Mesorhizob...
Abstract Mesorhizobium loti strain CJ3Sym was isolated in 1998 following transfer of the integrative and conjugative element ICEMlSymR7A, also known as the R7A symbiosis island,... -
Polarization-sensitive swept-source optical coherence tomography with continu...
We present fiber-based polarization-sensitive swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) based on continuous source polarization modulation. The light source is a... -
Dynamic light sheet generation and fluorescence imaging behind turbid media
Abstract Background Light sheet microscopy became a popular tool allowing fast imaging with reduced out of focus light. However, when light penetrates turbid media such as... -
Light scattering calculations from oleic-acid droplets with water inclusions
We present modeling results in video format showing the changes that occur in the light scattered by a spherical oleic-acid host droplet containing a spherical water inclusion... -
Emergence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in Switzerland: a nation-wide s...
Abstract This nation-wide survey on the epidemiology of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) included 142 healthcare institutions and showed an increasing number of VRE... -
Opposed-view dark-field digital holographic microscopy
Scattering and absorption belong to the major problems in imaging the internal layers of a biological specimen. Due to the structural inhomogeneity of the specimen, the...
