Compliant environments can mediate interactions between mechanically active cells like fibroblasts. Starting with a phenomenological model for the behavior of single cells, we use extensive Monte Carlo simulations to predict non-trivial structure formation for cell communities on soft elastic substrates as a function of elastic moduli, cell density, noise and cell position geometry. In general,...

We correlate the localization of silver nanoparticles inside cells with respect to the cellular architecture with the molecular information in the vicinity of the particle surface by combining nanoscale 3D cryo-soft X-ray tomography (cryo-SXT) with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The interaction of the silver nanoparticle surface with small molecules and biopolymers was monitored by S...

A new generation of synchrotron radiation light sources covering the VUV, soft x-ray, and hard x-ray speclrai regions is under construction in several countries. These sources are designed specifically to use periodic magnetic undulators and low-emittance electron or positron beams to produce high-brightness near-diffraction-limited synchrotron radiation beams. Some of the novel features of the...

A versatile patterning approach based on electron-beam lithography (eBL) and solution deposition, termed soft-eBL, has been developed to fabricate radially stacked heterostructures of multifunctional oxides from their sol precursors. Well-defined nanorings of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) are fabricated on a variety of substrates such as noble metals (e.g., Au), semiconductors (e.g., Si), and o...

oped a good expertise in the Ni in incidence pumping (DGRIP) scheme the beam quality and the spatial coherence as well as the pointing stability of plasma has been successfully demonstrated by using high harmonic (HH) radiation for injection for spectroscopy of heavy ions in the experimental st rage ring (ESR) and in the upcoming storage ring at FAIR (NESR) will bene XRL. A successful seeding p...

INTRODUCTION Pelvic fractures are relatively uncommon in children, accounting for 0.3-7.5% of all pediatric injuries (Gänsslen et al., 2013; Ismail et al., 1996; Peltier, 1965; Galano et al., 2005; Spiguel et al., 2006). This case report describes a pediatric open pelvic injury caused by a crush mechanism between a car and guardrail. CASE A 13year old male presented with an open APC 3 pelvic ...

INTRODUCTION Congenital peripheral constriction ring originating from soft tissues of the leg that is characterized with compression in the soft tissue usually involving the deep fascia surrounding the leg at the time of birth is occasionally observed in lower extremity. At the region of the constriction, fractures of tibia and fibula and foot deformities like clubfoot can be observed. CASE P...

The use of synchrotron radiation in the soft and hard X-ray spectral region received major impetus with the start of parasitic operation of the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Project (SSRP) in 1974. This was the first time that synchrotron radiation from a multi-GeV electron storage ring was made available in a user facility for studying the structure of matter. Here we review the early work at...

In the combination of 5-fluorophenyl-1, 3, 7, 9-tetra methyl pyrido [2, 3, d, d, 5, 6 di pyrimidine -2, 4, 6, and 8 tetron, there are 4 rings, respectively, ring that is attached to the halogen ring A and, respectively, a ring The lower and the right to the left of the ring A are called C, B, and D. Calculations and studies show that the amount of aromatics in halogen-ring A in all cases has th...

SLAC is developing a long-range plan to transfer the evolving scientific programs at SSRL from the SPEAR3 light source to a much higher performing synchrotron source – PEP-X – a new storage ring that would occupy the existing PEP-II tunnel and support two experimental halls, each containing 16 x-ray beam lines. Operating at 4.5 GeV and 1.5 A with a horizontal emittance of 0.14 nm-rad, reached u...
