Scatter radiation intensities around full-field digital mammography units
(British Institute of Radiology, 2013-01-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate the scatter radiation intensity around digital mammography systems and apply these data to standard shielding calculations to reveal whether shielding design of existing breast ...
A review and analysis of eye-gaze estimation systems, algorithms and performance evaluation methods in consumer platforms
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-01-01)
In this paper, a review is presented for the research on eye gaze estimation techniques and applications, which has progressed in diverse ways over the past two decades. Several generic eye gaze use-cases are identified: ...
Minkowski spacetime does not apply to a homogeneously accelerating medium

Ultrasensitive microfluidic array for serum pro-inflammatory cytokines and c-reactive protein to assess oral mucositis risk in cancer patients
(Springer Nature, 2015-07-05)
In addition to disease diagnostics, there is a need for biomarkers to predict severity of cancer therapy side effects such as oral mucositis. Oral mucositis is an inflammatory lesion of oral mucosa caused by high-dose ...
Range expansion in an invasive small mammal: influence of life-history and habitat quality
(Springer Nature, 2012-04-18)
Invasive species pose a major threat to biodiversity but provide an opportunity to describe the processes that lead to changes in a species' range. The bank vole (Myodes glareolus) is an invasive rodent that was introduced ...
Influence of energy balance on the somatotrophic axis and matrix metalloproteinase expression in the endometrium of the postpartum dairy cow
(BioScientifica, 2010-12-01)
Postpartum dairy cows enter a period of negative energy balance (NEB) associated with low circulating IGF1, during which the uterus must undergo extensive repair following calving. This study investigated the effects of ...
The vibrio parahaemolyticus toxrs regulator is required for stress tolerance and colonization in a novel orogastric streptomycin-induced adult murine model
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-03-05)
Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a marine bacterium, is the causative agent of gastroenteritis associated with the consumption of seafood. It contains a homologue of the toxRS operon that in V. cholerae is the key regulator of ...
The infrapatellar fat pad from diseased joints inhibits chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells
(Elsevier BV, 2015-04-01)
Dna mediated chromatin pull-down for the study of chromatin replication
(Springer Nature, 2011-09-19)
Chromatin replication involves duplicating DNA while maintaining epigenetic information. These processes are critical for genome stability and for preserving cell-type identity. Here we describe a simple experimental ...
Biomarkers: are realism and control mutually exclusive in integrated pollution assessment?
