A rapidly emerging field in lab-on-a-chip (LOC) research is the development of devices to improve the health of people in developing countries. In this review, we identify diseases that are most in need of new health technologies, discuss special design cr ...
Micro-MRI is an imaging technique used to obtain information on cellular biochemistry by spatial mapping of 1H NMR relaxation times. The sensitivity and MRI resolution of solenoidal receive coils is superior to spiral coil geometries. We developed a new ME ...
In this paper we explore the concept of informal innovation by investigating it both on the input (activities) and output (impact) side of the innovation process. Informal innovation is defined as innovation that is not explicitly planned and budgeted and ...
The Direct Metal Laser Sintering process (DMLS) is a Rapid Manufacturing (RM) technique. A 3D object is built layer by layer through laser consolidation of metallic powders. Several industrial DMLS stations are commercialised. The current performances of t ...
This chapter addresses the issue of the development of indicators aimed at providing a measurement base with both breadth and depth from which research in the "economics of knowledge" can benefit. While initial attempts at quantification in the area of the ...
This study, conducted by visits, interviews, and literature search, analyzes how vaccine manufacturers in Brazil and India access technologies for innovative vaccines: through collaborations with academia and research institutions, technology transfer agre ...
The asym. synthesis of 1,3-lactol-bridged tetrahydroisoquinolines I [R = SiMe2CMe3, CH2Ph; R1 = CH2CH(CO2Me)2; R2 = CO2CH2Ph] was developed. Subsequent cyclizations of I (R = SiMe2CMe3, CH2Ph) under acidic conditions lead to the formation of a tricyclic en ...
The distinction between dual rental systems and unitary rental markets is refined and developed. In particular, unitary rental markets are defined as markets in which barriers to nonprofit providers competing on the rental market are removed, reserving the ...
The Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD) is an annotated non-redundant collection of eukaryotic POL II promoters, experimentally defined by a transcription start site (TSS). Access to promoter sequences is provided by pointers to positions in the correspondi ...
Two versions of the Emission Inventory (EI) are generated for the city of Bogota, Colombia. In the first version (EI-1), CORINAIR traffic emission factors (EFs) are used. In the second (EI-2), bulk traffic EF's calculated for the city, using in situ measur ...
