Programmed cell death (PCD) plays a key role in unicellular microalgal ecology. However, the methodologies for detecting PCD are problematic. Clearly, to interpret the empirical data, clarity on how to measure microalgal PCD is essential. Here, we critically review the current measurements of PCD ...
Gyroscope: A gyroscope is designed to measure angular acceleration on an x, y, or z axis. Basically, it’s responsible for allowing the drone to fly in a stable manner. GPS: Also known as a “Global Positioning System”, a GPS sensor allows satellites to pick up on a drone’s location...
Ellipsometry is an optical surface characterization technique that can measure material properties, such as the thickness profile and optical response, of thin films and bulk materials. Ellipsometry is widely used, and perhaps most well-known, in the semiconductor industry. Application examples in this...
To begin, I tethered into the anchor. This allowed me to untie from my rope end. Then I fed a little more than half the rope through the fixed anchor rings. I thenloweredFoster directly from the anchor with a Munter hitch and a third hand friction hitch backup. There are many ways yo...
For example, if a small portion of the atoms in a structure have been poorly fitted to the density, this will not be revealed by any global measure of fit. Only a local measure would reveal the error. A relatively common problem in co-crystal structures in the PDB is poor fitting of ...
‘How much education and practice is enough when it comes to a job whose starting salary is regularly reported around $300,000 per year? This is where a formal industry certification would be most valuable, giving businesses a known yardstick by which to measure practitioners of the trade.’–...
lowering your partner is clear. You can measure accurately how far you need to go to reach the next anchor. In our case, it meant reaching the ground. The middle mark of the rope passed through my lowering system. It traveled about 20 feet down the cliff. Then Foster reached the ground...
Most of the current projects run in businesses today use some form of technical metrics to measure progress and success. But it’s difficult for most organizations to use such metrics to make quantitative and repeatable business decisions.
is included as well. I liked how I could slide this up the tool during a casual ascent. This way, it would not interfere with proper “piolet canne” technique. After the axe was put back on my pack and I took my trekking poles out it was quick and easy to cover the sharp spike....
A camera at- tached to the microscope records at high speeds (120–500 frames per second – fps -) and video can be replayed slower (30–60 fps) to measure ciliary beat frequency (CBF) and re- view ciliary beat pattern (CBP) [49]. However, this requires considerable expertise, and ...
