Class III Semaphorins (SEMA3) comprise a family of chemokines that have been implicated as negative regulators of axonal guidance, angiogenesis and tumor progression. It has been demonstrated previously that one SEMA3, SEMA3F, may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of cancer. When transfected with SEMA3F, the highly metastatic human melanoma cell line A375SM was found to exhibit a high...

Land cover, vegetation green leaf area index (LAI) and the fraction of incident photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by vegetation (FPAR) govern the exchange of energy, momentum and mass (water and carbon dioxide, for example) between the Earth’s surface and the atmosphere. These variables are operationally derived from measurements of the Multiangle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) abo...

Biological mixtures comprised of multiple individuals’ tissues or bodily fluids are commonly encountered and gathered during crime scene evidence collection. Sexual assault samples are one such mixture, usually comprised of epithelial cells and sperm. Sexual assault mixtures may contain a large amount of non-sperm cells in comparison to sperm cells. In such instances, it is imperative to separa...

Screen-printed back-to-back electroanalytical sensors.

We introduce the concept of screen-printed back-to-back electroanalytical sensors where in this facile and generic approach, screen-printed electrodes are printed back-to-back with a common electrical connection to the two working electrodes with the counter and reference electrodes for each connected in the same manner as a normal "traditional" screen-printed sensor would be. This approach uti...
