The kidney is a key organ in the maintenance of ion and fluid homeostasis and specific transport systems localized along the nephron guarantee this function. Due to its large functional heterogeneity, experiments on the whole organ level cannot be easily p ...
The periodontal ligament (PDL) is a highly vascularized soft connective tissue. Previous studies suggest that the viscous component of the mechanical response may be explained by the deformation-induced collapse and expansion of internal voids (i.e. chiefl ...
Proteins play an essential role in all biological processes and have been attracting more and more attention as drug candidates due to their high specificity and activity. However, their use as therapeutics has been seriously held back given that their abi ...
TiO2, ZnO nanoparticulate(-np), and ZnO-nanorod(-nr) electrodes have been modified with FeS2 (pyrite) nanoparticles. Quantum size effect is manifested by a blue shift in both absorption and photocurrent action spectra. PIA (photoinduced absorption spectros ...
The perception of a stimulus can strongly be modified by its spatial context. For example, when a vernier stimulus is flanked by two lines, performance deteriorates compared to a vernier without flanks. This is usually explained by local interactions, such ...
A novel on-target phosphopeptide enrichment method is presented that allows specific enrichment and direct anal. by matrix assisted laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) of phosphorylated peptides. Spots consisting of a thin film of anat ...
Lindane, the gamma-isomer of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), is a potent insecticide. Purified lindane or unpurified mixtures of this and alpha-, beta-, and gamma- isomers of HCH were widely used as commercial insecticides in the last half of the 20th century ...
Molecular fluorescence decay is significantly modified when the emitting molecule is located near a plasmonic structure. When the lateral sizes of such structures are reduced to nanometer-scale cross sections, they can be used to accurately control and amp ...
This paper presents a methodology to compute an innovative density indicator of spatial events. The methodology is based on a modified Kernel Density Estimator (KDE) that operates along road networks, and named Network based Kernel Density Estimator (NetKD ...

The goal of this project is to measure the mechanical properties of a porous polymeric scaffold. For this purpose, the deformation of the scaffold will be visualized using micro-computed tomography (µCT). We have a compression machine which operates inside ...
