An improved method of sample injection was demonstrated for introducing ultra-low volume liquid on a microfabricated device. In our previous study, a pressure-driven injection method has been introduced and was applied to on-chip electrophoresis. In this study, the need for control of the air vent, which was indispensable for sample injection in the previous study, was completely eliminated, fa...

Microchannels typically have rectangular cross-sections, whereas biological channels, such as blood vessels and airways, circular cross-sections. The difference in cross-sections causes different fluidic behaviors, resulting differences between behavior microchannels channels. To simulate vitro, cross-sectional are required. We developed a microchannel with smooth channel wall, free from cracks...

background: the predominant phytoestrogen in soy and derived products is the isoflavone genistein. genistein has antioxidant properties. morphine is a main psychoactive chemical in opium that can increase the generation of free radicals and therefore it could adversely affects the spermatogenesis. objective: the main goal was to investigate whether the genistein could protect morphine adverse e...

introduction: anethole is the main constituent of pimpinella anisum l. (anise), a herbaceous annual plant which has several therapeutic effects. in the folk medicine, anise is employed as an antiepileptic drug. specifically, this study was focused on the cellular effect of anethole, an aromatic compound in essential oils from anise and camphor. anethole has various physiological effects on the ...

Abstract To enhance worldwide environmental conditions, the air transport industry must drastically reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Electrification of aircraft propulsion systems is one way to meet this demand. In particular, focus on obtaining single-aisle with partial turbo-electric and approximately 150 passenger seats by 2030s. develop a propulsion, an air-cooled interior permanent magnet ...

This report summarizes progress on Washington University’s Terabit Burst Switching Project, supported by DARPA and Rome Air Force Laboratory. This project seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of Burst Switching, a new data communication service which can more effectively exploit the large bandwidths becoming available in WDM transmission systems, than conventional communication technologies lik...

This document identifies and assesses key techniques that should be employed in the design on the WINNER air interface protocol. It also presents the current view of the WINNER network architecture in order to provide a frame of reference for the evaluation. The assessment of key enhanced radio protocols is done by focusing on the following five areas: retransmission protocols; medium access co...

Bronchial atresia is an interesting congenital abnormality because of its variable appearance and its semblance to certain acquired diseases. It is characterized by a branching mass formed by mucus that dilates the proximal bronchi to the atretic segment. The distal lung to atresia can develop normally but it shows a paucity of blood vessels and is hyperinflated due to unidirectional collateral...
