Very-high-frequency surface acoustic waves, generated and transmitted along singlecrystal lithium niobate, are used to drive homogeneous aqueous suspensions of polystyrene nanoparticles along microchannels. At a few hundred milliwatts, uniform and mixing flows with speeds of up to 10mm/s were obtained in centimetres-long rectangular channels with crosssectional dimensions of tens to a few hundr...

Introduction: From the beginning several surgical techniques have been invented to treat herniated cervical intervertebral disc. Long term results with well-designed studies have not been evaluated. Variation in Surgical Technique: The surgical techniques have varied with several variable factors and different variables used for evaluation. Postoperative interscapular pain following ACD has var...

Ocean regions that global carbon cycle Aodels show are large sinks of carbon dioxide (Cod are known to have high wind speeds. TherefoE, estimates of the global ocean uptake of CO, could be improved through better prediction of the air-sea gas transfer velocity, kb at high wind speeds. Because high winds are also associated with increased whitecapping, development of an accurate method for estim...

An electronic aroma detection (EAD) technology known as conductive polymer analysis (CPA) was evaluated as a means of identifying and discriminating woody samples of angiosperms and gy~itnosperins using an analytical instrument (electronic nose) that characterizes the aroma profiles of volatiles released from excised wood into sanipled lieadspace. The instrument nieasures electrical-resistance ...

44 Current therapies for sarcomas are often inadequate. This study sought to 45 identify actionable gene targets by selective targeting of the molecular networks 46 that support sarcoma cell proliferation. Silencing of asparagine synthetase 47 (ASNS), an amidotransferase that converts aspartate into asparagine, produced 48 the strongest inhibitory effect on sarcoma growth in a functional genomi...
