Various solutions are utilized widely for the isolation, harvesting, sorting, testing and transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs), whereas the effects of harvesting media on the biological characteristics and repair potential of NSCs remain unclear. To examine some of these effects, NSCs were isolated from cortex of E14.5 mice and exposed to the conventional harvesting media [0.9% saline (S...

Background and Purpose: With development of forest management technologies, the efficiency of wood production was significantly improved, and thus the impact on forests has changed as well. The article presents a practical decision-making tool for selection of most suitable harvesting system, considering given terrain as well as expected soil conditions on harvesting sites. The decision-making ...

Harvesting ambient energy from the environment has become an attractive possibility for nodes in wireless networks. In addition to being environmentally friendly, energy harvesting networks promise almost perpetual operation which has been a holy grail for autonomous networks such as wireless sensor networks, and more recently M2M. However, achieving these benefits requires rethinking communica...

Harvesting strategies in a fish stock dominated by low-frequency variability: The Norwegian spring-spawning herring (Clupea harengus). Marine Resource Economics 18: 263–274. Enberg, K. 2005. Benefits of threshold strategies coupled with age-selective harvesting in a highly variable fish stock: Norwegian spring-spawning herring (Clupea harengus) as an example. Marine Ecology Progress Series, in ...

playas are low-lands which is considered to be the locations of accumulation of superficial and ground waters fromhigher elevations and these waters have different types of salts and various salinity level. therefore, because of lack ofrainfall and fresh-water both for human and animal useage or even for plants, it is needed to apply proper methods toharvest fresh water from these saline-waters...

Chao Zhu is an assistant professor at UWMilwaukee. His research interests include applied probability and stochastic processes; actuarial sciences and fi nance; computational linear algebra; and mathematical statistics. We consider the optimal harvesting problem for a single species living in random environments whose growth is given by a regimeswitching diff usion. Harvesting acts as a (stocha...

AIM We sought to evaluate our experience with endoscopic radial artery harvesting for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS From October 2005 to June 2010, 50 patients who underwent endoscopic radial artery harvesting for an elective CABG were prospectively assessed for harvesting characteristics, complications, postoperative and mid-term outcomes. RESULTS There were 34 (68%) male...

The process of acquiring the energy surrounding a system and converting it into usable electrical energy is termed power harvesting. In the last few years, there has been a surge of research in the area of power harvesting. This increase in research has been brought on by the modern advances in wireless technology and low-power electronics such as microelectromechanical systems. The advances ha...

Climate change has resulted in increased vulnerability of smallholder farmers in marginal areas of Zimbabwe where there is limited capacity to adapt to changing climate. One approach that has been used to adapt to changing climate is in-field water harvesting for improved crop yields in the semi- arid regions of Zimbabwe. This review analyses the history of soil and water conservation in Zimbab...

We present light harvesting of aqueous colloidal quantum dots to nonradiatively transfer their excitonic excitation energy efficiently to dye molecules in water, without requiring ligand exchange. These as-synthesized CdTe quantum dots that are used as donors to serve as light-harvesting antennas are carefully optimized to match the electronic structure of Rhodamine B molecules used as acceptor...
