Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is increasingly used in many scientific disciplines, including biological and medical research, materials science and chemistry.The fluorescence label is not only used to indicate Sorting its location, but also to probe its immediate environment, via its fluorescence lifetime.This allows FLIM to monitor and imag

Lung recruitment is used to improve oxygenation and decrease Harness the risk of ventilator induced lung injuries.Assessing the potential of recruitability is a pre-requisite for a rational recruitment strategy and setting of PEEP.Using a low flow pressure-volume loop is helpful to assess the potential of recruitability at the bedside.For patients

A cysteine protease belonging to peptidase C1A superfamily from the eukaryotic, symbiotic dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium sp.strain KB8, was characterized.The protease was purified to near homogeneity (566-fold) by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, Sorting ultrafiltration, and column chromatography using a fluorescent peptide, butyloxycarbonyl-Val-Leu-Lys-4-me

A physics-based optimisation framework is developed to investigate the potential advantages of novel technologies on the energy efficiency of a midrange passenger aircraft.In particular, the coupled-adjoint aerostructural analysis and optimisation tool FEMWET is modified to study the effects of active flow control at different load cases for conven

Historically, landslides have been the primary type of geological disaster worldwide.Generally, the stability of reservoir banks is primarily affected by rainfall and reservoir water level fluctuations.Moreover, the stability of reservoir banks changes with the long-term dynamics of external disaster-causing factors.Thus, assessing the time-varying
