Human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPS-CM) may offer a number of advantages over previous cardiac models, however, questions of their immaturity complicate their adoption as a new in vitro model. hPS-CM differ from adult cardiomyocytes with respect to structure, proliferation, metabolism and electrophysiology, better approximating fetal cardiomyocytes. Time in culture appears t...

The advantages of using copper for interconnection in microcircuits are mostly due to its lower resistance compared to the aluminum metallization. Copper-based metallization has specific resistance of less than 2 μΩ-cm compared to more than 3 μΩ-cm for aluminum metallization. In combination with a reduced susceptibility to electromigration failures, this enables designing of highly scaled devic...

The relativistic magnetron has a series of advantages, such as high efficiency, compact structure, and tunability. In this paper, an improved modified high-efficiency with novel cathode endcap is presented investigated numerically. simulation, high-power microwave the transverse electromagnetic mode generated average power 1.56 GW, frequency 1.593 GHz, efficiency 75.8% when voltage 586 kV curre...

A rapid and convenient method was developed to determine the polar components (PC) of frying oil by Fourier-transform near-infrared (FTNIR) spectroscopy. One hundred twenty six oil samples were used to PC determination by column chromatography and FTNIR spectroscopy combined with partial least-square (PLS) calibration. The optimal PLS calibration was obtained after the Savitzky-Golay smoothing ...

A spectrophotometric study of osmium (VIII) complex of 1-hydroxy 2- pyridine thione (HPT) is presented. A red-violet complex, 0 s (HPT) is formed in a highly acidic solution, and shows maximum absorbance at 500 nm with molar absorptivity of 5.12 x 101. mol . cm . Beer's law is obeyed in the range of 3-60 ppm. Sandel's sensitivity of the method is 0.37 ?g.cm per0.001 ab sorbance unit. V (V)...

The frontalis musculocutaneous island flap offers advantages of immediate repair for small to medium-sized forehead defects (0.5-5 x 0.5-5 cm). Based on the supraorbital artery, the flap is both adaptable and dependable. Advantages of this flap include the ability to perform the procedure immediately and in one stage, rapid aesthetic restoration, minor donor-site morbidity, and technical ease. ...
