Abstract The potential of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy, to inform the study and conservation of mineralised excavated textiles is discussed, highlighted... -
Patternable particle microarray utilizing controllable particle delivery
Abstract In this study, we demonstrate an on-demand delivering and sequential arraying of single microparticles utilizing multiple pneumatic pressure-driven elastomer valves and... -
Comparative study of pulse interactions in optical fiber transmission systems...
We compare nonlinear channel interactions in classical soliton, periodically-stationary dispersion-managed soliton (DMS), and chirped-return-to-zero (CRZ) systems. We studied... -
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... -
Isolation of exosomes from whole blood by a new microfluidic device: proof of...
Abstract Background Exosomes are endocytic-extracellular vesicles with a diameter around 100 nm that play an essential role on the communication between cells. In fact, they... -
Removal of the product from the culture medium strongly enhances free fatty a...
Abstract Background Cyanobacterial mutants engineered for production of free fatty acids (FFAs) secrete the products to the medium and hence are thought to be useful for biofuel... -

Integrative assessment of brain and bone invasion in meningioma patients
Abstract Background Various prognostic factors have been suggested in meningioma patients including WHO grading, brain invasion and bone involvement, for instance. Brain... -
Microcirculatory dysfunction and dead-space ventilation in early ARDS: a hypo...
Abstract Background Ventilation/perfusion inequalities impair gas exchange in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Although increased dead-space ventilation (VD/VT) has... -
Synthesis of graphene oxide-quaternary ammonium nanocomposite with synergisti...
Abstract Background Bacterial infection is one of the most common complications in burn, trauma, and chronic refractory wounds and is an impediment to healing. The frequent... -
