Optical label-free biosensors serve as a powerful detection tool to analyze biomolecular interactions, and have been widely used in pharmaceutical drug discovery and biochemical sensing. Desirable performance metrics for ...

Absence of a general theory of economic development that is applicable to the low income countries is a handicap in analyzing the problem of "underdevelopment". It cannot readily be concluded from this, however, ...

The aim of this research is to investigate the hypothesis that the government may have interfered with the functioning of the private sector in Brazil, through the economic phenomenon which has been referred to in the ...

The extinction strain rates of three butanol isomers, (n-butanol, sec-butanol and iso-butanol) were studied experimentally in a counterflow burner, and computationally using a one-dimensional numerical model. The experimental ...

Adenosine is a pleotropic purine nucleoside with actions ranging from neurotransmission to immunomodulation. Pathologic processes that trigger cellular stress and damage also cause significant increases in local and systemic ...

Bioremediation is one suggested technology for hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), as well as alternate explosive contaminants. The potential use of extracellular electron shuttling compounds to mediate electron ...

Human epithelial endometrial cells secreted a full-length functional form of EMMPRIN that stimulated stromal expression of MMP-1,-2 and -3 but not EMMPRIN. We also found that endogenous stromal cell expression of EMMPRIN ...
