With the aging of the population and the consequent severe shortage of caregivers, the demand for care robots to assist the elderly is increasing. However, care robots have yet to be widely adopted ow…
The increasing incorporation of renewable energy in power systems is causing growing concern about system stability. Renewable energy sources are connected to the grid through power electronic convert…
A novel low-profile dual-polarized magneto-electric dipole antenna with two choices of feeding probes are proposed and investigated. The antenna utilizes a radiating structure which adopts equilateral…
Anopheles gambiae s.1. and An. funestus were sampled for Plasmodium spp. ookinetes in two P. falciparum-endemic sites in western Kenya. Since the ookinete is a transitional stage of short duration, oc…
Triploid oysters were induced using cytochalasin B upon retention of either the first (meiosis I triploids) or the second (meiosis II triploids) polar body in embryos from a single cohort derived from…
There is limited quantitative microscopic information concerning the three-dimensional arrangement of cardiomyocytes and microvessels in cardiotoxic condition. The aim of this study was to evaluate th…
BACKGROUND: One of the factors influencing variation in tobacco control policies across European countries is the relative policy dominance of pro and anti-tobacco control interest groups. Scholars in…
What does it mean to "know" what an object is? Viewing objects from different categories (e.g., tools vs. animals) engages distinct brain regions, but it is unclear whether these differences reflect o…
Arrhythmogenesis in ventricular muscle exhibiting nonhomogeneous excitability was studied in isolated tissues from feline and canine hearts. Longitudinal bundles were mounted in a three-chambered bath…
Electrostatic phenomena are known to enhance both wind- and insect-mediated pollination, but have not yet been described for nectar-feeding vertebrates. Here we demonstrate that wild Anna's Hummingbir…
Dengue is a major public health concern in the tropics and subtropics. Innovative transgenic strategies to render Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the primary vector of dengue, incompetent for dengue transmi…
Anthropomorphic models used in computational dosimetry, also denominated phantoms, are based on digital images recorded from scanning of real people by Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance I…
Breast milk is the best form of nutrition for infants. However, it places infants born to HIV infected women at risk of acquiring HIV infection. Total avoidance of breastfeeding is the only way of com…
Game theory has emerged as a new mathematical tool in the analysis and design of wireless communication systems, being particularly useful in studying the interactions among adaptive transmitters that…
Roux-en-Y gastrectomy is associated with a high incidence of symptoms of gastric stasis. Retrograde propagation of jejunal electrical slow waves and spike bursts has been implicated in the Roux Y stas…
The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using applied potential tomography (APT), a noninvasive and nonradioactive method, to measure the rate of gastric emptying in preterm babies…
Zooprophylaxis is the use of animals to deviate vectors from humans. The indoor abundance of Phlebotomus papatasi in houses with rabbit holes in the peridomestic areas are significantly lower than the…
Crystallization following thermal annealing of thin film stacks consisting of alternating nm-thick titania/silica layers was investigated. Several prototypes were designed, featuring a different numbe…
A new type of polarized light microscope ('new pol-scope') for fast and orientation-independent measurement of birefringent fine structure has been developed. The design of the new pol-scope incorpora…
To study whether consumed dietary fat has a linear relationship or a threshold with glycemic controls, female C57BL/6J mice were fed different levels of a safflower oil (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60% of…
