Acoustic Properties of Aerogels: Current Status and Prospects

Current Status and Future Prospects

This article reviews recent advances in genomics and informatics relevant to cardiovascular research. In particular, we review the status of (1) whole genome sequencing efforts in human, mouse, rat, zebrafish, and dog; (2) the development of data mining and analysis tools; (3) the launching of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Programs for Genomics Applications and Proteomics Initia...

Mammary ductoscopy: current status and future prospects.

BACKGROUND Mammary ductoscopy (MD) allows direct visualisation of the mammary ducts using sub-millimetre fiberoptic microendoscopes inserted through the ductal opening onto the nipple surface. The sharp clear magnified images are viewed on a video monitor. Such scopes have working channels that allow irrigation and ductal lavage for cytological analysis. MD can be performed under local anaesthe...

International Adoption: Current Status and Future Prospects

Throughout the poorer countries of the world, millions of children live out their young lives in substandard institutions or in the streets. In times of war or political and economic upheaval, added numbers of children become homeless. At the same time, thousands of couples in the more advantaged countries of the West have demonstrated their eagerness to offer permanent homes to many of these c...

Neutrino oscillations: Current status and prospects

I summarize the status of neutrino oscillations from world neutrino oscillation data with date of October 2005. The results of a global analysis within the three-flavour framework are presented. Furthermore, a prospect on where we could stand in neutrino oscillations in ten years from now is given, based on a simulation of upcoming longbaseline accelerator and reactor experiments.
