Reducing the risk of (cross-)contamination, improving the chain of custody, providing fast analysis times and Feline - Bowls - Feeders options of direct analysis at crime scenes: these requirements within forensic DNA analysis can be met upon using microfluidic devices.To become generally applied in forensics, the most important requirements for mi
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Ilizarov Methods in the Treatment of Infected Nonunion of Tibia and Femur.
Infected nonunion of tibia and femur are common in clinical practice, 112 however, the treatment of these diseases has still been a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons.Ilizarov methods can eradicate infection, compensate bone defects and promote the bone union through progressive bone histogenesis.The objective of this systematic review was to revie
On the Emergence of Cryptococcus gattii in the Pacific Northwest: Ballast Tanks, Tsunamis, and Black Swans
ABSTRACT The appearance of Cryptococcus gattii in the North American Pacific Northwest (PNW) in 1999 was an unexpected and is still an unexplained event.Recent phylogenomic analyses strongly suggest that this Other Games pathogenic fungus arrived in the PNW approximately 7 to 9 decades ago.In this paper, we theorize that the ancestors of the PNW C.
Numerical Analysis of Factors Affecting the Burden Surface and Porosity Distribution in the Upper Part of the Blast Furnace
A proper burden and porosity distribution of the bed in the upper shaft are important prerequisites for realizing a stable and efficient operation of the ironmaking blast furnace.The discrete element method was used to investigate the effects of the static Other Games friction coefficient between burden particles and shaft angle on the burden profi
Evaluation of the Thermal Comfort in the Design of the Museum Routes: The Thermal Topology
Museums are nowadays among the most popular projects for the public, the concept of thermal comfort in museums is often treated after the realization.Even if in the design, the architect shows a particular intention to work with daylight which is considered for these projects as main, the architect often considers certain elements that have an infl
