We have developed an automated system based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) injectors for reliable mass-injection of Drosophila embryos. Targeted applications are high-throughput RNA interference (RNAi) screens. Our injection needles are made of silicon nitride. The liquid to be injected is stored in an integrated 500 nl reservoir, and an externally applied air pressure pulse precisely...

[1] This study examined daily, seasonal, and interannual variations in CH4 emissions at a temperate peatland over a 5-year period. We measured net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE), CH4 flux, water table depth, peat temperature, and meteorological parameters weekly from the summers (1 May to 31 August) of 2000 through 2004 at Sallie’s Fen in southeastern New Hampshire, United States. Significant int...

The air comparison could use more explanation. I think the authors should comment on how reliable these results are considering that some comparisons are based on measurements of dry air, while some are based on wet air with factory water vapor corrections, which, except for QC-TILDAS, you have shown are not adequate. You mentioned that the water vapor during the third period was < 1% (winter),...

Clean air in the operating room is important during joint replacement surgery. We compared monochromatic ultraviolet radiation of254 nm with the use ofa Charnley-Howorth air enclosure by bacterial air-sampling during 113 total hip arthroplasties. Air samples were taken continuously at the edge of the wound and every 15 minutes at a site 130 cm from the operating table. We also tested the effect...

This paper deals with the one-versus-one air-toair combat maneuver generation based on differential game. The algorithm is composed of scoring function matrix calculation, and enemy combat maneuver analysis method in order to find the optimal combat maneuvers. This paper will be limited to consideration of the Within Visual Range (WVR) one-versus-one air-to-air combat. Several combat scenario r...
