STATIONARY FLUIDICS: MOVING TARGET MOLECULES ON BEADS THROUGH NON-MOVING LIQUIDS FOR MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTIC ASSAYSCommonly, microfluidic devices are constructed to move fluidics. For molecular diagnostics assays which include steps like PCR, this practically always involves a more or...
We know that association does not necessarily mean causation. But does causation always imply association? This is trickier, yet situations like this are more common than you might think. I think that they severely complicate experimental science. In medicine this is commonly referred to as unantici...
munging, etc). If you are a software engineer/developer, you are very likely to throw that up on Github today, since the likelihood that others may find it useful is > 0. But if you’re not, I don’t see why you should. Chances are that this is a one off...
Topic 1 Molecules, transport and health 1A Chemistry for biologists 1A Checkpoint 1A.1 The chemistry of life 1 In some covalent compounds, the electrons in the covalent bonds are not quite evenly shared. This means the molecule has a part that is slightly negative and a part...
Which statements about the behavior of gaseous H2 molecules in a container at 1 atm and 298 K are correct? I. All H2 molecules are moving at the same speed. II. The H2 molecules are colliding more frequently with the walls of the container than they...
The spectroscopic results are summarized in Fig. 5c. It is important to recognize that once the pulling is ongoing, the film is moving up at a constant speed but the interference fringes to not move. A given distance above the sol reservoir represents a specific time in the solvent evaporatio...
The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer, which arranges itself so that the innermost and outermost layers are polar, while the core is hydrophobic. Embedded in the membrane structure there are proteins, carbohydrates, and cholesterol molecules that help it maintain its fun...
Nature is, as always, amazing. Anyway, worker bees (which, again contrary to DreamWorks’ narrative, are female) release Nasonov’s pheromone to orient returning forager bees (also female) back to the colony. They do this by raising up their abdomens and fanning their wings. Beekeepers can...
Perfectly controlled molecules are at the forefront of the quest to explore chemical reactivity at ultra low temperatures. Here, we investigate for the first time the formation of the long-lived intermediates in the time-dependent scattering of cold bialkali23Na87Rb molecules with and without the ...
these gaps in the form of molecules called neurotransmitters. Current estimates suggest there are ...
