Nanotechnology for the biologist

Nanotechnology refers to research and technology development at the atomic, molecular, and macromolecular scale, leading to the controlled manipulation and study of structures and devices with length scales in the 1- to 100-nanometers range...

Nanotechnology and medicine

Nanotechnology, or systems/device manufacture at the molecular level, is a multidisciplinary scientific field undergoing explosive development. The genesis of nanotechnology can be traced to the promise of revolutionary advances across medi...

Nanotechnology

Human dreams and imagination often give rise to new science and technology. Nanotechnology, a 21st-century frontier, was born out of such dreams. Nanotechnology is defined as the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between 1 a...

Effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of laser powder bed fusion ODS-316L

As a candidate cladding material for fourth-generation nuclear energy systems, the microstructure and properties of oxide dispersion strengthened 316L (ODS-316L) steel are significantly affected by heat treatment (HT) processes. This paper ...

Survival of pathogens on soybean debris under no-tillage and conventional tillage systems Sobrevivência de patógenos em restos de cultura de soja mantidos em sistema de semeadura direta e convencional

A study was conducted in the subtropical area of Southern Brazil to determine the survival of pathogens in soybean residues under conventional and no-tillage cultivation systems from March to September of 1998 and 1999. The pathogens most f...

Simulação na validação de sistemas computacionais para a agricultura de precisão Simulation in the validation of precision farming computing systems

Sistemas computacionais têm tido aplicação crescente na construção de sistemas para o setor agrícola; contudo, o trabalho de projeto desse tipo de sistemas tem-se tornado mais complexo devido à necessidade de se estabelecer cooperação entre...

Time, clocks, and the ordering of events in a distributed system

The concept of one event happening before another in a distributed system is examined, and is shown to define a partial ordering of the events. A distributed algorithm is given for synchronizing a system of logical clocks which can be used ...

A calculus for access control in distributed systems

We study some of the concepts, protocols, and algorithms for access control in distributed systems, from a logical perspective. We account for how a principal may come to believe that another principal is making a request, either on his own...

Time, clocks, and the ordering of events in a distributed system

The concept of one event happening before another in a distributed system is examined, and is shown to define a partial ordering of the events. A distributed algorithm is given for synchronizing a system of logical clocks which can be used ...

Relationship between grief and coping strategies among nurses dealing with patient deaths: a descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational study

Abstract Background Nurses often face significant emotional distress and grief when dealing with patient deaths, especially in acute hospital settings. Despite extensive literature offering guidance on nursing practices for providing optima...

Optimum calcination temperature for the synthesis of nanostructured alumina for energy storage heat management applications

Heat management for rechargeable energy systems such as lithium-ion batteries are of great performance and safety value. Optimization of solid additives to liquid cooling systems are a field of research for the advanced materials selection ...

Plasmodium vivax Transmission in Africa.

Malaria in sub-Saharan Africa has historically been almost exclusively attributed to Plasmodium falciparum (Pf). Current diagnostic and surveillance systems in much of sub-Saharan Africa are not designed to identify or report non-Pf human m...

Synthetic biology open language (SBOL) version 3.1.0

Synthetic biology builds upon genetics, molecular biology, and metabolic engineering by applying engineering principles to the design of biological systems. When designing a synthetic system, synthetic biologists need to exchange informatio...

Identification of confounders and estimating the causal effect of place of birth on age-specific childhood vaccination

Abstract Background In causal analyses, some third factor may distort the relationship between the exposure and the outcome variables under study, which gives spurious results. In this case, treatment groups and control groups that receive ...

Eight-Day Typhoon Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts in Taiwan by the 2.5 km CReSS Model, Part II: Reduced Control of Track Errors on Rainfall Prediction Quality for Typhoons Associated with Southwesterly Flow

Due to the enhancement by its steep mesoscale topography, the overall rainfall amount and distribution in Taiwan from typhoons, to a first degree, are determined by the storm track relative to the island. Therefore, the quality of typhoon q...
