A virtual laboratory has been developed to support chemical reaction engineering courses. Real-life engineering challenges that are difficult to address in a university laboratory give the opportunity to illustrate basic concepts of chemical reaction engineering such as the relationship between temperature ...
The aim of this study was to systemically evaluate how different pyrolysis temperatures (400, 550, and 700 °C) and particle sizes (1–2 mm and 63–75 µm) were influenced biochar evolution, made from urban pruning waste, during pyrolysi
Precision control of molecular activities and chemical reactions in live cells is a long-sought capability by life scientists. No existing technology can probe molecular targets in cells and simultaneously control the activities of only these targets at high spatial precision. We develop a real-time ...

Two micrograms of RNA were used to prepare cDNA using a high-capacity cDNA synthesis kit (Applied BiosystemsTM, Waltham, MA, USA), as per the manufacturer’s instructions. The cDNA was used for Sanger sequencing, and qRT-PCR expression analysis of HOX genes and other genes involved in NUP...
2.5. Determination of Analytical Sensitivity One-step rRT-PCRs were performed with defined copy numbers of the in vitro-transcribed reference RNAs (tenfold serial dilutions corresponding to 102to 107copies per reaction) to determine the analytical sensitivity of the AOAV-1 Fmod and the original Wi...
A weekly Python podcast hosted by Christopher Bailey with interviews, coding tips, and conversation with guests from the Python community. The show covers a wide range of topics including Python programming best practices, career tips, and related softw
2. A 61-year-old man with dementia from firefighting work for the U.S. Navy in a toxic environment with head injuries after nine months of supplementation. “The brain can heal itself is the point of the story. His executive function skills in everyday life are getting better.” ...
4.2. Example evaluations of synthesised sounds Three test cases were designed to validate that the synthesis method actually can produce sound files with arbitrary AM: The AM strength was varied between zero (no AM) and the maximum value found from the real life recordings as described in Section...
example of successful miniaturization of a neurological sensor is the work conducted by Seo et al. in which the group created a device named neural dust, shown in Fig.2c, to collect electromyogram (EMG) and electroneurogram (ENG) signals [2]. With the use of ultrasound to power the ...
