Cancer cells demand excessive nutrients to support their proliferation but how cancer cells sense and promote growth in the nutrient favorable conditions remain incompletely understood.Epidemiological studies have indicated that obesity is a risk factor for various types of cancers.Feeding Drosophila a high dietary sugar was previously demonstrated
Sizes and stiffness variations of actively deformable objects pose significant challenges on the design of compliant constant-force gripper.This paper presents a curved-beam based constant force compliant gripper which is composed of the constant force module, the bistable module, the preloading module and the linear guide.A curved-beam u11-200ps c
Iron oxide nanoparticles and here their nanocomposites have been widely studied for diverse applications ranging from water treatments to energy production, diagnostics and therapeutics.The remarkable physicochemical characteristics of iron-based nanomaterials (Fe-NMs) such as superparamagnetic behavior, higher saturation magnetization values, bioc
The effective conservation of highly migratory marine species is only possible if core areas of activity and critical habitat can be identified within the vast and dynamic oceanic environment and later on used to delineate marine protected areas (MPAs).However, gathering population-level data and identifying universal patterns within a species or p
A new bio-imaging method has been developed by introducing an experimental verification of capacitively coupled resistivity imaging in a small scale.This paper focuses on the 2D circular array imaging sensor as well as a 3D planar array imaging sensor with spectroscopic measurements in a wide range from low here frequency to radiofrequency.Both the
