depressed marionette in the medical advertisement discussed by Dr Jordanova is brought back to life by a daily dose of Ludiomil. For the most part the analyses are compelling, even if at times the reader might want rather more evidence and slightly less speculation. The gendered nature of anatomizing crops up several times in the book, culminating in a section in the final chapter in which Dr J...

Despite progress in understanding chromatin function, the structure of the 30 nm chromatin fiber has remained elusive. However, with the recent crystal structure of a short tetranucleosomal array, the 30 nm fiber is beginning to come into view.

Time-resolved soot and PAH formation from gasoline diesel spray pyrolysis are visualized quantified using diffuse back illumination (DBI) laser induced fluorescence (LIF) at 355 nm, respectively, in a constant-volume vessel 60 bar 1400 to 1700 K for up 30 ms. The delay, maximum rate, yield of PAHs compared across fuels temperatures correlated with the sooting indices on either mass or mole basi...

SiBCN ceramics were introduced into porous Si₃N₄ ceramics via a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition and infiltration (LPCVD/CVI) technique, and then the composite ceramics were heat-treated from 1400 °C to 1700 °C in a N₂ atmosphere. The effects of annealing temperatures on microstructure, phase evolution, dielectric properties of SiBCN ceramics were investigated. The results revealed that α...

Fluorescence imaging in the near-infrared II (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) region opens up new avenues for biological systems due to suppressed scattering and low autofluorescence at longer-wavelength photons. Nonetheless, development of organic NIR-II fluorophores is still limited mainly shortage efficient molecular design strategy. Herein, we propose an approach designing Janus by introducing electr...

Optical microscopy is a valuable tool for in vivo monitoring of biological structures and functions because its noninvasiveness. However, imaging deep into tissues challenging due to the scattering absorption light. Previous research has shown that two optimal wavelength windows high-resolution mouse brain are around 1300 1700 nm. one-photon fluorescence region been highly poor detection effici...

Tomato is an important food product for which the development of non-destructive quality assessment methods great interest. Using visible and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, sugar content, acidity even taste can be estimated through use chemometric (e.g., partial least squares regression). In case reflection spectra, are common modality imaging question arises regarding how much interior toma...

NURS:1700 Global Health Nursing 3 s.h. Complexity of health and nursing in a global context; overview of the biological, social, epigenetic, and environmental contributors to health and diseases in populations around the world and nursing's role in improving health; includes case studies of various global organizational and educational structures and systems relative to population health, selec...

When most people think of detecting single-photons, photomultiplier tubes probably spring to their mind. Indeed, for a long time these were the detectors of choice in ultrasensitive detection and spectroscopy. Today, however other types of detectors allow to reach a single-photon sensitivity. Special semiconductor devices called singlephoton avalanche diodes (SPAD) have been developed, optimise...
