The UV curing nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) is a next generation lithography technique that canproduce very tiny patterns (in the nanometer scale) by a simple imprinting step performed with a patternedand transparent template in a flowable resist (deposed par spin-coating on a silicon substrate as thin layer).The imprinting step is then followed by UV exposure (that cures the res...

Procalcitonin (PCT) is a promising biomarker for identification of the origin and severity of sepsis, which is a deadly body infection. In this work, we report the preparation of a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor which utilizes a molecular imprinted polymer surface for rapid and reliable detection of PCT. The molecular imprinted surface was prepared using a microcontact imprinting tec...

Abstract Multiplex sensing platforms via large‐scale and cost‐efficient fabrication processes for detecting biological chemical substance are essential many applications such as intelligent diagnosis, environmental monitoring, etc. For the past decades, performance of those sensors has been significantly improved by rapid development nanofabrication technologies. However, facile with cost‐effec...

The phenomenon of genomic imprinting has recently excited much interest among experimental biologists. The population genetic consequences of imprinting, however, have remained largely unexplored. Several population genetic models are presented and the following conclusions drawn: (i) systems with genomic imprinting need not behave similarly to otherwise identical systems without imprinting; (i...

Pseudohypoparathyroidism type IB (PHPIB) is associated with abnormal imprinting of GNAS, the gene encoding the heterotrimeric G protein Gsalpha and other alternative products. The gene contains three differentially methylated regions (DMRs) located upstream of the Gsalpha promoter (from upstream to downstream): the paternally methylated NESP55 promoter region, the maternally methylated NESP ant...

In plants, a subset of genes exhibit imprinting in endosperm tissue such that expression is primarily from the maternal or paternal allele. Imprinting may arise as a consequence of mechanisms for silencing of transposons during reproduction, and in some cases imprinted expression of particular genes may provide a selective advantage such that it is conserved across species. Separate mechanisms ...

Sexual imprinting is the learning of a mate preference by direct observation of the phenotype of another member of the population. Sexual imprinting can be paternal, maternal, or oblique if individuals learn to prefer the phenotypes of their fathers, mothers, or other members of the population, respectively. Which phenotypes are learned can affect trait evolution and speciation rates. "Good gen...

We theoretically generalize a systematic language to describe the phase-imprinting technique investigate dynamical generation of solitons in one-dimensional Raman-type spin-orbit-coupled Fermi superfluid. check our method with simulation time-dependent Bogoliubov--de Gennes equations and find that not only can generate stable dark even gray conventional superfluid by controlling transferred pha...

The development of new biomaterials is needed to use in many areas such as protein purification, removal and drug release system. In this study, we fabricated hemoglobin (Hb) surface imprinting onto the bacterial cellulose nanofibers. metal ions coordination was obtained with vinyl imidazole Ni2+ ions. selective purification Hb using Hb-imprinted cellulose. Scanning Electron Microscopy, Surface...

Although numerous imprinted genes have been described in several lineages, the phenomenon of genomic imprinting presents a peculiar evolutionary problem. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain gene imprinting, the most supported being Haig's kinship theory. This theory explains the observed pattern of imprinting and the resulting phenotypes as a competition for resources between relat...
