Microfluidic technologies have emerged recently as a promising new route for the fabrication
of uniform emulsions. In this paper, we review microfluidic methods for synthesizing uniform …

The process of photosynthesis is initiated by the capture of sunlight by a network of light-absorbing
molecules (chromophores), which are also responsible for the subsequent funneling …

Background Studies investigating inflammatory markers in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
have yielded mixed results. The aim of our study was to compare concentrations of …

In this article, we consider identification, estimation, and inference procedures for treatment
effect parameters using Difference-in-Differences (DiD) with (i) multiple time periods, (ii) …

This paper synthesizes recent advances in the econometrics of difference-in-differences (DiD)
and provides concrete recommendations for practitioners. We begin by articulating a …

Humoral immune responses are typically characterized by primary IgM antibody responses
followed by secondary antibody responses associated with immune memory and composed …

A flow-focusing geometry is integrated into a microfluidic device and used to study drop
formation in liquid–liquid systems. A phase diagram illustrating the drop size as a function of flow …

Existing research suggests that a considerable fraction (5-10%) of the source code of large
scale computer programs is duplicate code ("clones"). Detection and removal of such clones …

Background Pembrolizumab monotherapy showed durable antitumour activity and manageable
safety in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. We aimed to examine …

Microfluidic technology offers capabilities for the precise handling of small fluid volumes
dispersed as droplets. To fully exploit this potential requires simultaneous generation of multiple …

Since a number of pathological processes such as septic shock, inflammation, graft rejection,
diabetes, etc. are associated with a release of nitric oxide (NO), rapid and accurate …

Small businesses continue to grow in importance to the national economy. According to the
Small Business Administration, America's 22 million small businesses generate more than …

[en] 2015 was an extraordinary year for renewable energy. Renewables are now cost competitive
with fossil fuels in many markets and are established around the world as mainstream …

Most children with obstructive sleep apnea will benefit from tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
Although polygraphic monitoring remains the definitive diagnostic technique, we …

BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress is thought to mediate neuropathological processes of a
number of neuropsychiatric disorders and recent data suggest that oxidative stress may be …

Background: The role of systematic aortic and pelvic lymphadenectomy in patients with
optimally debulked advanced ovarian cancer is unclear and has not been addressed by …

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are flashes of unknown physical origin 1 . The majority of FRBs have
been seen only once, although some are known to generate multiple flashes 2 , 3 . Many …

Unscheduled 30-day readmissions are a hallmark of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) patients
that pose significant health risks and escalate care cost. In order to reduce readmissions …

We study the nature of non‐Fickian particle transport in 3‐D porous media by simulating fluid
flow in the intricate pore space of real rock. We solve the full Navier‐Stokes equations at …

In recent years, interest has been focused to the study of the two major inositol stereoisomers:
myo-inositol (MI) and d-chiro-inositol (DCI), because of their involvement, as second …
