A kind of dual-parameter sensor based on magnetic-fluid-coated nonadiabatic tapered microfiber (NTF) cascaded with fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Simultaneous m…
Accommodating large increases in sample workloads has presented a major challenge to clinical laboratories during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Despite the implementation of automa…
New tuberculosis vaccines have made substantial progress in the development pipeline. Previous modelling suggests that adolescent/adult mass vaccination may cost-effectively contribute towards achievi…
Fast point-of-care (POC) diagnostics represent an unmet medical need and include applications such as lateral flow assays (LFAs) for the diagnosis of sepsis and consequences of cytokine storms and for…
BACKGROUND: Choice of appropriate MR pulse sequence is important for any research studies using imaging-derived data. The aim of this study was to compare semiquantitative assessment of subchondral bo…
Severe respiratory tract irritation occurred in at least 74 of 100 boilermakers who were exposed to high levels of vanadium pentoxide fume during oil-to-coal conversion of a utility company power plan…
Experiments were designed to determine in the same animal whether electrical stimulation of the posterior hypothalamus and ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus could specifically evoke shivering and nons…
Four trials, using operant conditioning procedures, were conducted to study the response of chicks, housed at 16 C, to microwave or infrared heat. Microwave power density was 26 mW/cm2 in Trial 1, 13 …
We report the development and characterisation of highly miniaturised fibre-optic sensors for simultaneous pressure and temperature measurement, and a compact interrogation system with a high sampling…
A Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based fiber axial micro-displacement sensor was proposed. The MZI was constructed by a bowknot-type taper (BTT) combining with a fiber core-offset between two singl…
Stereology applied on histological sections is the 'gold standard' for obtaining quantitative information on cancellous bone structure. Recent advances in micro computed tomography (microCT) have made…
As part of Public Health England's assessment of vectorborne disease risk to public health in the UK, tick specimens are regularly submitted by veterinarians for identification via the Tick Surveillan…
Membrane crystals of the mitochondrial outer membrane channel VDAC (porin) from Neurospora crassa were incubated with a 20-amino-acid synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal targeting region…
1. The effects of muscarinic receptor antagonists considered to be selective for M1 receptors (pirenzepine; PZ), M2 receptors (AFDX-116), and for M3 receptors (4-diphenyl acetoxy N-methyl-piperidine (…
The work focuses on research related to determination of application possibility of new, ecofriendly boroorganic polyols in rigid polyurethane foams production. Polyols were obtained from hydroxypropy…
The methane-rich, hydrothermally heated sediments of the Guaymas Basin are inhabited by thermophilic microorganisms, including anaerobic methane-oxidizing archaea (mainly ANME-1) and sulfate-reducing …
INTRODUCTION: We have previously investigated effects of moderate maternal zinc (Zn) restriction on growth and glucose homeostasis in offspring, but interaction between maternal Zn restriction and pos…
We report an improved tool for acquiring temperature-resolved fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra of complex polymer systems undergoing thermal transitions, illustrated by application to severa…
13C-labeled glucose is increasingly used in conjunction with magnetic resonance spectroscopy to measure rates of metabolic pathways in the brain in vivo. Most studies of human subjects have used intra…
Electrical potentials were recorded from the cornea of the human eye in response to the onset and offset of square-wave stripe patterns varying in spatial frequency, luminance and contrast. Under high…
