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…
Numerous species of birds are natural hosts of C. psittaci and have been implicated as sources of certain strains that cause disease in other vertebrate species, notably those producing psittacosis or…
In this study, response surface methodology was employed to optimize the extraction of polysaccharides from Phellinus nigricans mycelia. A central composite design was adopted to determine optimum par…
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…
Oxidation of the acetate-bridged half-lantern platinum(II) complex cis-[Pt(II)(NH(3))(2)(ì-OAc)(2)Pt(II)(NH(3))(2)](NO(3))(2), [1](NO(3))(2), with iodobenzene dichloride or bromine generates the halid…
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…
UNLABELLED: The distribution of benzodiazepine receptors in the human brain has been widely studied with SPECT using (123)I-iomazenil and semiquantitative approaches, but these methods do not allow qu…
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 …
Developing methods that can detect compartmentation of metabolic pathways in intact tissues may be important for understanding energy demand and supply. In this study, we investigated compartmentation…
BACKGROUND: All currently available antipsychotic medications bind to both the dopamine-2 (D2) and dopamine-3 (D3) receptors in vitro. However, there is conflicting evidence from in vivo studies about…
Healthy untrained males (age 25.4 +/- 1.7 years, n=12) gave their informed consent to take part in all experiments within the study. After 100 intermittent (every 20 s) drop jumps from the height of 0…
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…
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…
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…
Experiments were performed on 37 urethane-anesthetized rabbits. The aortic nerves, carotid sinus nerves and vagus nerves were cut, MAP and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) were recorded. The co…
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 (…
Tumor aggressiveness and response to therapy are influenced by the extravascular extracellular space fraction (EESF) of the malignant tissue. The EESF may, therefore, be an important prognostic parame…
