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... -
Coherent two-beam interference fringe projection for highspeed three-dimensio...
Two-beam interference is a fundamental and well-understood approach to create Fizeau’s interference fringes. With a Mach–Zehnder interferometer, we utilize these two-beam... -
Chemostat culture systems support diverse bacteriophage communities from huma...
Abstract Background Most human microbiota studies focus on bacteria inhabiting body surfaces, but these surfaces also are home to large populations of viruses. Many are... -
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... -
Minimally invasive microendoscopy system for in vivo functional imaging of de...
The ability to image neurons anywhere in the mammalian brain is a major goal of optical microscopy. Here we describe a minimally invasive microendoscopy system for studying the... -
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... -
Single chip lidar with discrete beam steering by digital micromirror device
A novel method of beam steering enables a large field of view and reliable single chip light detection and ranging (lidar) by utilizing a mass-produced digital micromirror... -
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... -
Changes of the glutathione redox system during the weaning transition in pigl...
Abstract Background Weaning is known to result in barrier dysfunction and villus atrophy in the immediate post-weaning phase, and the magnitude of these responses is... -
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... -
The use of forward scatter to improve retinal vascular imaging with an adapti...
Retinal vascular diseases are a leading cause of blindness and visual disability. The advent of adaptive optics retinal imaging has enabled us to image the retinal vascular at... -
Air pollution and airway resistance at age 8 years – the PIAMA birth cohort s...
Abstract Background Air pollution has been found to adversely affect children’s lung function. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s and forced vital capacity from spirometry have... -
Tree frog attachment: mechanisms, challenges, and perspectives
Abstract Tree frogs have the remarkable ability to attach to smooth, rough, dry, and wet surfaces using their versatile toe pads. Tree frog attachment involves the secretion of... -
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...
